Online access to Current Protocols may be the best reason yet to
have a computer near your lab bench. These detailed manuals provide step-by-step
annotated instructions for laboratory procedures and also feature comprehensive
lists of required materials, critical parameters, allotted time and safety
considerations. Protocols are contributed by top researchers in their
respective fields. These publications are updated quarterly to reflect
the changing needs of the scientific research community. Online access
enables the protocols to be shared by many laboratories across campus.
The UT Libraries recently subscribed to the online versions of four Current
Protocols titles:
Current
Protocols in Cell Biology
Current
Protocols in Food Analytical Chemistry
Current
Protocols in Molecular Biology
Current
Protocols in Protein Science
A tutorial covering the use of Current Protocols is available from the
help screen after you open one of the Current Protocols titles (click
"CP Help" near the top of your screen). To search for a particular
protocol, choose one or more of the four titles above and enter your terms
in the search box. Be aware that if you search all the available titles,
you will retrieve protocols for which we do not have a subscription and
you will not be able to access them.
