Journal of Neuroinflammation in BioMed Central A new journal edited by faculty at UAMS is now being published via BioMed Central. Drs. Sue T. Griffin and Robert E. Mrak, the co-editors of the Journal of Neuroinflammation, originally pitched their idea for this new journal to a traditional publisher. However, at the suggestion of Mary Ryan, UAMS Library Director, they got in touch with BioMed Central. The first three articles became available April 20, 2004, and there are eight more in peer review. To access this new journal, go to www.jneuroinflammation.com/home. Congratulations to Drs. Griffin and Mrak on the publication of their new journal, and for publishing it through an "open access" publisher. Laptop Internet Access Available Personal laptop access to the Internet is now available in the Quiet Room of the Library. There are four connections available for individuals wishing to use their personal laptops. Please note due to security concerns these connections will only provide access to the Internet. For more information, please contact Dena Plaisted, Chair, Document Access Services, at 501-686-6743 or PlaistedDenaK@uams.edu |
