Welcome to Spring 2011! Some cool stuff for you (Part 2 of 2)

Here’s some more cool library stuff for you

Publish in an Open Access Journal; We Will Help Pay Author Fees

The University strives both to maximize the benefits of Berkeley’s research for the scholarly community and to advance knowledge in ways that improve the quality of life in local and global communities. The Berkeley Research Impact Initiative (BRII) supports faculty members, post-docs, and graduate students who want to make their journal articles free to all readers immediately upon publication.

Details available at the BRII web site.

New Online Public Health Books from Oxford Scholarship

We have recently acquired access to the Public Health and Epidemiology collections of Oxford Scholarship Online: dozens of full-text electronic books covering many subjects within Public Health and Epidemiology

Like us? Then “Like” us!

The Public Health Library is on Facebook! The first 6 new "likers" will receive a free, very spiffy PLoS mousepad (see them in our display case in the library) (provided you tell us and come pick it up…)
