UC-Springer Agreement Provides Free Open Access
As of 2009, papers by UCSF authors that appear in journals published by Springer will be fully open access. This means that the articles will be freely available online for other researchers to cite and utilize in their own research. These articles will also be deposited in the University of California's eScholarship repository.

Ingenuity Pathways Analysis: Trial Through June
Through June 2009 the Library is offering a trial of Ingenuity Pathways Analysis (IPA), a software application that allows researchers to compare pathways for common or unique biological molecules and to identify potential biomarkers.
In December we hosted two very successful workshops about IPA, taught by Matthew Gormley of UCSF's Fisher Lab. Attendees were enthusiastic about how IPA could help facilitate their research. In order to maintain access to IPA after June 2009, the Library will need to partner with departments or labs to help finance the license. If your department or lab would be interested in supporting an IPA license, please contact Anneliese Taylor, the Library's Collection Development Manager.
