THE BRITISH MEDICAL JOURNAL AND SCIENCE NEWS TO JOIN JSTOR’s HEALTH & GENERAL SCIENCES COLLECTION
New York, NY— The British Medical Journal, one of the oldest and most widely read peer-reviewed medical titles, has begun collaborating with JSTOR to make their complete back files available through JSTOR, the not-for-profit online scholarly journal archive.
The BMJ, founded in 1840, features past issues and articles totaling more than 350,000 pages. BMJ will be offered through JSTOR’s Health & General Sciences Collection and is expected to be available to JSTOR participants in late 2007.
A total of five of the BMJ Group’s public health and ethics journals will be offered through JSTOR’s Health & General Sciences Collection, including the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, Tobacco Control, the Journal of Medical Ethics, and Occupational and Environmental Medicine, in addition to the BMJ.
JSTOR has also begun to collaborate with Science News to make their back files available to JSTOR participants. Science News is an award-winning weekly periodical covering important research in all science fields. Science News began in 1922 as the Science News-Letter, whose articles focused on “the early days of atomic energy, the beginning of modern genetics, and many other developments.” Their publisher, Science Service, has a mission to “advance public understanding and appreciation of science among people of all ages through publications and educational programs.” Science News will also be available through the Health & General Sciences Collection with an anticipated availability of late 2007.
JSTOR’s Health & General Sciences Collection, formerly the General Science Collection, originally featured several of the most important historical scientific journals published: Science, PNAS, and the publications of the Royal Society of London. The back issues included in this archive extend back to the seventeenth century and in total covers more than eight hundred years of journal publication. In September 2006, the collection was renamed Health & General Sciences to reflect the inclusion of journals in the health sciences, including important journals in nursing, epidemiology, and other health sciences topics.
We are pleased to announce JSTOR’s collaboration with the British Medical Journal and Science News, as they will add further historical and topical depth to this collection. Participation fees for the Health & General Sciences Collection will remain unchanged, and existing participants will have access to these new titles as soon as they are publicly available. There will be no overlap of content between the Health & General Sciences Collection and any of the multi-discipline Arts & Sciences Collections or the Biological Sciences Collections in JSTOR. Two titles from the Health & General Sciences Collection will continue to be offered through the Mathematics & Statistics Collection: Philosophical Transactions: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences and Proceedings: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences.
JSTOR is an independent not-for-profit organization with a mission to create a trusted archive of scholarly journals and to increase access to those journals as widely as possible. For more information, please visit JSTOR at http://www.jstor.org.
The Hardin Library is happy to announce the purchase of the Lippincott Williams & Wilkins Total Access Collection. These new electronic journals are now available in PubMed, CINAHL and other databases via InfoLink and can be found in the Electronic Journals list. They will appear in the InfoHawk catalog soon.

The University of Iowa Libraries is excited to announce its purchase of a site license to the citation management software RefWorks. RefWorks allows you to import citations from databases like Academic Search Elite, organize your citations and share them with colleagues, as well as insert your citations into papers and format them in any of hundreds of bibliographic styles.
You may have heard of or used other citation management software such as Endnote or ProCite. RefWorks contains the same core functionality as these programs, but it has the advantage of being web-based, so your citations can be accessed from any internet-connected computer, not just the one where the software is installed. If you are currently using one of these other pieces of software and want to try RefWorks, your citations can easily be imported into RefWorks.
You can create as many RefWorks accounts as you need. For instance, create a personal account as well as one for your department, lab, or team. RefWorks makes it easy to share your citations with colleagues at the University of Iowa and beyond.
If you would like to learn more about RefWorks, please let us know. One of our librarians would be happy to come to your office to show you the software one-on-one. More information about RefWorks (including a link to set up your own account) can be found at http://www.lib.uiowa.edu/find/refworks.
During the recent renewal process for our license to UpToDate, it became necessary to make access changes for this resource. As a result, UpToDate is only accessible from workstations physically on campus or at the 12 UI Family Care clinics. This additionally means that UpToDate is no longer accessible via the remote desktop application.
Please contact Karen Fischer (karen-fischer@uiowa.edu, 335-8781) if you are having trouble accessing UpToDate from your campus workstation or from the UI Family Care clinics.
