The Journal of Biological Chemistry (JBC), the most highly cited journal in the life sciences, deploys 21 subject-based specialty sites on the HighWire Open Platform.

The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB) is proud to announce the launch of 21 JBC Affinity Sites: www.jbc.org/site/affinitysites. Categorized by subspecialties in biochemistry and molecular biology, these new sites emphasize recent and most-read research articles, literature reviews and other information in each area of investigation.

"This month, Stanford University Libraries established the first academic, university-based Bahá'í collection in the United States. The donation of one of the most extensive Bahá'í libraries in private hands preserves a history that might otherwise be lost."

"The collection includes more than 1,000 books, letters, photographs and rare, out-of-print early Bahá'í publications from around the world, as well as other archival materials and papers."

Julie Sweetkind-Singer, Head Librarian, Branner Earth Sciences Library & Map Collections

In a recent interview with Campus Technology digital magazine, Julie Sweetkind-Singer "discusses the importance and impact of long-term geospatial data storage."

She discusses the differences and difficulty in perserving digital data over the long term, versus paper-based data, as well as the educational and research needs for preserving geospatial data. Julie speaks about the National Geospatial Digital Archve (NGDA) and their recommendations for long term storage of geospatial data, and how this data is being implemented in the libraries.

See the article, Setting Storage Standards for Digital Media to read the entire interview.

 

The University Archives and DLSS/DPG are pleased to announce that over 700 images from 8 Archives collections are now available via the Stanford Digital Repository. Included are:

B. Noah Tilghman color slides documenting Antarctica, 1972-1974 (SC1056)
