CSH Protocols Now Online for UAMS
UAMS campus now has online access to the Cold Spring Harbor Protocols. The CSH laboratory manuals for molecular and cellular biology have been extremely popular as printed books with a tradition of 60 years behind them. CSH Protocols online continues with that tradition, creating a source of trusted techniques that are now collected and made available online where they can be continuously expanded, updated, and annotated by the originators and users. This database of research techniques for cell and molecular biology, genetics, bioinformatics, protein science, and imaging is fully searchable by keyword and subject. Its coverage includes cell and molecular biology, genetics, bioinformatics, protein science, and imaging. Cold Spring Harbor Protocols is available from the Library’s EResources web page.
If you find this a useful database, please send feedback to Mary Hawks
Collection Management Librarian hawksmarys@uams.edu.

Lexi-Comp:
Online, PDA, and Blackberry Drug Reference
Clinical Pharmacology cancelled as of March 27, 2007
Lexi-Comp has replaced Clinical Pharmacology as the primary drug reference resource provided by the UAMS Library. Lexi-Comp Online is available on campus as well as off-campus to all UAMS faculty, students, and staff from the Library’s EResources web page. Lexi-Select, a selection of the most important clinical care components of Lexi-Comp, is also available for PDAs.
Lexi-Comp provides the equivalent or greater information than Clinical Pharmacology with an easier to use interface than Clinical Pharmacology. Lexi-Comp was highly rated by members of the Library's Clinical Resources Team that advises the Library in selection of clinical resources. In addition, Lexi-Comp is the primary drug reference for Arkansas Children's Hospital and was selected by the UAMS College of Pharmacy as a PDA drug reference for upperclassmen. Lexi-Interact, the drug interaction module of Lexi-Comp, is also available within UptoDate clinical resource.
Clinical Pharmacology Online and its PDA versions will no longer be available from the UAMS Library after March 27, 2007. Over the past 10 years, Clinical Pharmacology has developed many loyal users who will be pleased to find that the Clinical Pharmacology drug monograph and patient education materials continue to be available through EBSCOHost and AccessMedicine Resources on the Library Website.
Unfortunately the PDA and Blackberry versions of Lexi-Select are not available for free as was the PDA version of Clinical Pharmacology. However, the UAMS Library has negotiated a $50 annual fee for either a Palm, PocketPC, or Blackberry version of Lexi-Select for students, residents, and full-time faculty. Please check the PDA Resources page for further information.
