NCBI Offers New Books Database

NCBI Offers New Books Database. NLM Technical Bulletin. 2001 Jul–Aug;(321):e1.

July 29, 2001 [posted]

In collaboration with book publishers, NLM and the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) are expanding the Books feature by adapting more books for the Web. As in the past, the books are linked to PubMed citations, but can now also be searched directly. To search Books, click on the "Books" link on the black bar, or choose Books from the "Search" pull-down menu on any PubMed screen. Searching and other new features will be explained in a forthcoming article.

In addition to the original text, Molecular Biology of the Cell, 3rd ed. (New York: Garland Publishing;1994) by Bruce Alberts, Dennis Bray, Julian Lewis, Martin Raff, Keith Roberts, and James D. Watson, the Books database now includes:

  • C. elegans II. Riddle, Donald L.; Blumenthal, Thomas; Meyer, Barbara J.; Priess, James R., editors. Plainview (NY): Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press; c1997.
  • Retroviruses. Coffin, John M.; Hughes, Stephen H.; Varmus, Harold E., editors. Plainview (NY): Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press; c1997.
