GeoRef Now Has Unlimited Users
Due to a change in database platform, GeoRef is now available through CSA and has unlimited simultaneous UTK users.
The GeoRef database, established by the American Geological Institute (AGI) in 1966, provides access to the geoscience literature of the world. GeoRef is the most comprehensive AGI database in the geosciences and continues to grow by more than 80,000 references a year. The database contains over 2.6 million references to geoscience journal articles, books, maps, conference papers, reports and theses.
The GeoRef database covers the geology of North America from 1693 to the present and the geology of the rest of the world from 1933 to the present. The database includes references to all publications of the U.S. Geological Survey. Masters' theses and doctoral dissertations from US and Canadian universities are also covered.
To maintain the database, GeoRef editor/indexers regularly scan more than 3,500 journals in 40 languages as well as new books, maps, and reports. They record the bibliographic data for each document and assign index terms to describe it. Each month between 4,000 and 7,000 new references are added to the database.
A subscription to the GeoRef database also includes access to the GeoRef In Process database (so both databases can be searched at once) and a link to the GeoRef Preview database on the AGI web site. The GeoRef In Process database contains records that are, literally, in the process of being indexed prior to their integration in the main GeoRef database. The majority of the records originate from non-English language literature that was not necessarily published recently.

PuMed Central International
KPMC the first PubMed Central International Site, was officially released on January 8, 2007. UKPMC will function as the United Kingdom's archive of free, full text biomedical research articles and will contain most of the content currently available in PubMed Central.
The UKPMC project includes an installation of the United Kingdom Manuscript Submission System (UKMSS), a version of the Portable PubMed Central Manuscript Submission system (pNIHMS) developed at NCBI. These two systems provide a mechanism archiving and distributing research manuscripts funded by the UKPMC consortium.
UKPMC is sponsored by a consortium of organizations involved in funding biomedical research in the United Kingdom and is operated by British Library and the University of Manchester.

NIH offers free access to wealth of disease data
Project aims to mine information on genotypes, phenotypes and lifestyle.
An unprecedented repository of disease-related data, dbGaP, is bringing together information about the genes, health and lifestyles of thousands of subjects studied over many years. The web-based portal will allow any interested investigator to search across multiple epidemiological studies, in the hope of identifying new links to disease.
