N/A

May 13, 2005 [posted]

The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) has recently added a new book and a PDA version of another book to the Bookshelf.

NCBI Short Courses, a new book on the NCBI Bookshelf from the National Library of Medicine, contains the chapter:
Building Customized Data Pipelines Using the Entrez Programming Utilities (eUtils) available from: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/
NBK1058/.

A PDA version has been added to the NCBI Bookshelf for Medical Microbiology. On the Table of Contents page (or any page of the book) at the end of regular text, you'll see:

"Download this book for your handheld computer (requires the MobiPocket Reader)." Available from: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/
bv.fcgi?rid=mmed.TOC.

For more information on PDA versions available on the NCBI Bookshelf and how to install MobiPocket Reader, see: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query/
Books.live/Help/mobile.html.

The books in Bookshelf may be searched directly from the Bookshelf site, via links from the Links pull-down menu from relevant PubMed® citations, or through the Entrez Global query feature.
