Forthcoming Electronic Resources.
By Mohamed Hussain

A Happy New Year to everyone!  In the last issue of the bulletin, we spoke of the electronic journals and books which the library was planning to offer.  Plans for this service are still moving ahead and we are all anxious to see this project made operational.  A list of the 84 core biomedical journals which will be accessible in full text as hot links from the bibliographic search utility, OVID, is presented for your information (see attached pages).  The library has also, as part of its ongoing assessment of its collection, decided to add 73 new titles in hard copy.  However, as part of this assessment process, the library has deaccessioned 42 of its titles.  This decision was based mainly on usage as these titles reflected zero usage over a period of a year.

The move towards electronic format is not limited to journals.  We are also planning to offer some electronic books through the Teton Data Systems which will also be accessible through the OPAC.  A partial list of some of the proposed books includes:

 Harrison’s Principles of Internal Medicine
 Goodman and Gilman’s The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics
 Williams’ Obstetrics
 Robbins’ Pathology
 Miller’s Anesthesia

Your suggestions are welcome.  The Library’s Collection Development Manager, Mohamed F. Hussain may be contacted at x7426 or via electronic mail at: mhussain@netmail.hscbklyn.edu
