During the month of April, the library will have online trial access to the Materials for Medical Devices Database from ASM International. Materials for Medical Devices is a set of mechanical, physical, biological response, and drug compatibility properties for the materials and coatings used in medical devices. Off-campus access is available via the library proxy server or the campus VPN. Please send comments or questions to lngo (at) library (dot) berkeley (dot) edu.
The NIH Public Access Policy affects you if you have a current NIH grant, have students or staff whose salaries are paid by NIH, or are paid by NIH yourself. Beginning on April 7, if you have received NIH funding for research published in a peer reviewed journal, or your salary is paid by NIH, you will need to comply with the NIH Public Access Policy. The library has developed a guide on the NIH Mandate with information on how to comply.

The library's article databases offer a vast amount of reliable information published in academic and scientific journals. They often provide full text of the articles, or the UC-eLinks button which helps you locate the text online or in the library.
This video briefly describes the benefits of using these databases (45 seconds, silent, requires Flash Player).
