BioOne

The Libraries have acquired 102 titles from BioOne, a collaborative project that aggregates the full-texts of high-impact bioscience research journals. Most of BioOne's titles are published by small societies and non-commercial publishers, formerly only available in printed form.

BioMed Central

BioMed Central is an independent publisher committed to providing immediate free access to peer-reviewed biomedical research. All the original research articles in journals published by BioMed Central are immediately and permanently available online without charge or any other barriers to access. This commitment is based on the view that open access to research is central to rapid and efficient progress in science and that subscription-based access to research is hindering rather than helping scientific communication. BioMed Central is also committed to ensuring efficient and effective quality control through full and stringent peer review.

Chemistry, Physics & Medical Reference eBooks

York has recently subscribed to the following ebooks: The Merck Index, ChemNetBase (including the Combined Chemical Dictionary, The Handbook of Chemistry & Physics, Polymers: A Property Database and Properties of Organic Compounds) and the Knovel package (includes International Critical Tables of Numerical Data, Physics, Chemistry and Technology, Knovel Critical Tables, Smithsonian Physical Tables and Thermochemistry of the Chemical Substances).

Current Protocols

This reference work contains a rich variety of methods for use in the life sciences. Generally, each one includes one or more protocols with listings of materials, steps and annotations, recipes for unique reagents and solutions, and commentaries on the "hows" and "whys" of the method. York subscribes to the cell biology, molecular biology and protein science.
