York has arranged for a trial to Oxford Handbooks Online: http://www.oxfordhandbooks.com/
Users accessing the site via registered IP addresses will be automatically authenticated. Trial Period: 30 days - 13 OCT 09 to 12 NOV 09 Oxford Handbooks Online contains content previously published in print as Oxford Handbooks, divided into 4 modules: Political Science, Philosophy, Religion, and Business & Management. The site sits on the Oxford Scholarship Online platform, and derives its functionality from that, while maintaining a separate branding and identity. The Handbooks contain articles by scholars in the majority of academic disciplines in which Oxford publishes, which provide a scholarly snapshot of a topic as well as offer original scholarly arguments. You may want to take a look at the Guided Tour as you peruse the trial.
Trial access to Confidential Print: North America, 1824-1961 has been enabled on York University’s IP address range and will be available at the following URL until 6th November:
www.archivesdirect.amdigital.co.uk
The Confidential Print series originated out of a need for the Government to preserve all of the most important papers generated by the Foreign and Colonial Offices. Some of these were one page letters or telegrams – others were large volumes or texts of treaties. All items marked ‘Confidential Print’ were printed and circulated immediately to leading officials in the Foreign Office, to the Cabinet, and to Heads of British missions abroad.
All documents are full text searchable.

| What exactly is a protocol? A protocol is a precise and detailed experiment for the study of a biochemistry, molecular biology, and/or biomedical problem. Protocols are experiment procedure “recipes” or “methods” organized in a standardized format that can be executed in a laboratory environment. They contain step-by-step procedures and include a list of the materials needed to perform the experiment (materials can include chemicals, hardware, software, etc.). Protocols also contain “notes” or “tips” sections providing users with troubleshooting suggestions to help solve problems that may arise during experiments. Researchers rely on protocols to study gene behavior, discover new approaches to treat diseases, and lower costs of drug development. |
