Annual Reviews Backfiles

Good news! All of our online subscriptions the Annual Reviews series have been extended back to the very first issue of each series. Some of these go back as far as the 1930s! This back run also includes some titles we did not previously have online:

  • Annual Review of Biophysics and Bioengineering
  • Annual Review of Biophysics and Biophysical Chemistry
  • Annual Review of Cell Biology
  • Annual Review of Energy
  • Annual Review of Materials Science
  • Annual Review of Nuclear Science
  • Annual Review of Pharmacology
  • Annual Review of Plant Physiology

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.

Directory of Open Access Journals

529 titles have been added from this service that covers free, full text, quality controlled scientific and scholarly journals, in many subjects and languages.

JSTOR

149 additional titles from JSTOR, the scholarly journal archive, have been added to the library's electronic holdings. The service covers titles in the arts and sciences.

Project Euclid

We have recently subscribed to the full range of Project Euclid electronic journals in mathematics and statistics. The project is a user-centered initiative to promote effective and affordable distribution of research in those disciplines. Project Euclid is designed to address the unique needs of independent and society.

Safari

Computer manuals are amongst the most difficult books to keep up to date in the library. Versions change, technology advances and books become obsolete. Safari changes all that. This package contains 150 of the most recent books on most computer technologies such as Java, C/C++, MS Office, web development, MS Windows, Linux and Unix. And best of all, new editions periodically replace older ones.

Wiley Encyclopedia of Electrical and Electronics Engineering

This comprehensive reference work brings together the core knowledge from all the different areas of electrical and electronics engineering. It is the ideal starting point for research projects, whether addressing basic questions in remote sensing or learning advanced applications in neural networks and robotics. It also covers other areas including engineering education, historical background, patents, technology and society and computer and software engineering.
