New Electronic Resources for 2008Ramune Kubilius, MALS, Collection Development / Special Projects Librarian, Email RamuneThe Galter Library is constantly striving to update our electronic resources and bring the most current tools to our patrons' desktops. With the new year, the library is continuing to increase its electronic collection. It is anticipated that most of the resources listed should be accessible in early 2008. Northwestern University libraries have collaboratively licensed this American Society for Microbiology (ASM) Web information resource. Continually updated, it is based on the classic ASM Press publication, Escherichia coli and Salmonella: Cellular and Molecular Biology. It is an archive of the entire corpus of knowledge on the enteric bacterial cell, comprised of several hundred modules of information and interpretation, including the genome database.

Ovid has unveiled its new interface, called OvidSP. The new search interface retains much of the functionality of the previous Ovid interface, and some new functions and features have been added.
