Changes to the journal Blood

The American Society of Hematology has changed its address for Athens access to the journal Blood.

You will now need to click on the following link: http://openathens.highwire.org/initiate-login?returnURL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bloodjournal.org%2F&subcode=ashjnls


You will be asked to type your Athens username and password, and then you will have complete fulltext access from 1946 to the current issue.

Free trial extended to more journals

Recently we told you about a free trial to the fulltext of all Springer journals until 31st October 2014. This trial, which is an NHS Pilot, has now been extended to more journal providers.

Nature, and 36 affiliated journals (such as Nature Medicine and Nature Reviews Cancer) are included.

Elsevier Science are including 147 of its Finch Medical Research titles, such as Experimental Eye Research, Research in Microbiology, the European Journal of Pharmacology, Spine Deformity, and Clinical Biochemistry.

All these journals are available with your Athens username and password. You can search for them on a list of journals here: http://www.library.nhs.uk/booksandjournals/journals/default.aspx


Furthermore, the links to fulltext articles will appear when you do a search of the healthcare databases (like Medline and CINAHL).
If you do not have an Athens account, please contact the library on 0161 419 4690.
Other journal providers are offering free fulltext as part of this trial, but access is only available from NHS computers, and not by Athens. The providers below are all included in the NHS Pilot.
The Medical Collection from Oxford University Press is offering fulltext access to 88 titles, such as Cardiovascular Research, Annals of Oncology, Occupational Medicine and International Journal for Quality in Health Care.

Twenty six Annual Reviews journals are part of the free trial, such as the Annual Review of Biochemistry, and the Annual Review of Pharmacology and Toxicology.

The Merck Index is also included.

The NHS Pilot will run until 31st March 2015.

Practising Midwife - now available online

The library used to have a print subscription to the Practising Midwife, but this leading journal is now available electronically so you can access it from anywhere. All you need is to login with your Athens username and password here: http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/mesl/tpm

If you don't have an Athens account, you can register online from an NHS computer here: https://openathens.nice.org.uk/

The archives of our electronic subscription go back to 2011, but the library at Pinewood House has print copies from 2006 - 2013.

You can also request an 'etoc' from the library - an electronic table of contents. So every month we will send you the contents page of the new issue so that you can keep up to date with the latest research very easily. Just e-mail the library at library.enquiries@stockport.nhs.uk and let us know if you would like us to set up etocs for any other journals for you.
