EndNote Web available for free at UT
EndNote Web version is available for free at UT because we subscribe to ISI Web of Knowledge (a.k.a. the Science Citation Index). It is a web-based, free, and a bit easier-to-use than the desktop EndNote Web that costs about $100 at the UT Computer Store.
Use EndNote Web to:
Create Bibliographies
Manage Bilbliographies
Share Bibliographies
Can be used with MS Word to generate notes as you write, using "Cite While You Write"
Once you have logged into EndNote Web from a UT machine, your references are available on the web wherever you are.
Geting started with EndNote Web requires some initiative on your part. The tutorials on the EndNote Web homepage (endnoteweb.com) will teach you how to use it. Additional support from the UT Libraries is available from our EndNote page
If you have taken the EndNote Web tutorial and need additional assistance or have a small group that would like an introduction to EndNote Web on the Ag Campus, contact Ann Viera or Shantel Agnew at 974-7338 (annviera@utk.edu or sagnew@utk.edu).

Identifying Lab Rodents Using Earprints: a new article from NC3RS
Identifying laboratory rodents using earprints
Mr Jens Cameron, DiLab, Sweden; Dr Christina Jacobson, AstraZeneca R&D, Sweden; Dr Kenneth Nilsson, Halmstad University, Sweden; Professor Thorsteinn Rögnvaldsson, Halmstad University, Swede
Abstract
Laboratory rodents are today identified using methods such as tattoos, ear clips or implanted transponders. These methods are invasive and can cause pain and/or distress for the animal, with associated ethical issues. A new method is presented here which relies on each animal's innate physical characteristics for identification and is inspired by fingerprint identification of human individuals. The new method, which uses blood vessel patterns in the ear as unique identification traits, is non-invasive and painless and seems to be as accurate as fingerprint identification for humans.
The full text of the article is available from the NC3Rs website by clicking on the title above. About NC3Rs: The National Centre for the Replacement, Refinement and Reduction of Animals in Research provides a UK focus for the promotion, development and implementation of the 3Rs in animal research and testing.
