European Journal of Archaeology

Lockwood library will be starting an electronic subscription to the Sage journal, "European Journal of Archaeology" beginning with the December 2005 issue. When the subscription is activated I will post the URL.

Remember that to get to electronic versions of journals you must go through the library's homepage to get to our subscription links. You can do this by clicking "Electronic Journals" and then entering the name of the journal. This will take you to the database(s) that have full-text. Or, you can do a title search in the catalog and if we have an electronic version of the journal you will see the word "Online" after the journal title. Click that record and follow the URL. This way you authenticate yourself as a UB person.

The National Human Genome Research Project, http://www.genome.gov, has put out a research call for social scientists interested in working on the Ethical, Legal and Social Implications of the genomic research. There are a number of research questions the group would like answered within the next two years. The Small Grant Research Program is $50,000 for up to two years. The Regular Research Program is over $50,000 for up to three years.

If you are interested in learning or teaching about the human genome project there are a number of tutorials and teaching/research resources available at http://www.genome.gov/Education/.
