ebrary Offers Free Breast Cancer Searchable Information Center

Dear Customers, Partners, and Friends:

Breast cancer strikes over 1.3 million women around the globe each year and is the leading cause of cancer death in women, according to the American Cancer Society.

In honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October, ebrary is pleased to announce that we have collaborated with librarians from other organizations to create an open access database of breast cancer publications. The site is available today at http://site.ebrary.com/lib/breastcancer.

ebrary's Breast Cancer Searchable Information Center features a range of authoritative fact sheets, posters, and other materials from government agencies such as the National Cancer Institute, National Breast Cancer Coalition Fund, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (U.S.), Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, United States Food and Drug Administration, Office of Women's Health, and other authoritative sources.

The site was created using DASH!™ (Data Sharing, Fast), our do-it-yourself e-publishing tool which is included with many of our e-book products and services. Organizations that wish to contribute information to ebrary's Breast Cancer Searchable Information Center may receive a complimentary DASH! account to upload and integrate their documents, provided they have copyrights.

ebrary's Breast Cancer Searchable Information Center is just one of a growing number of open access collections created by ebrary staff and customers. For a listing of additional databases visit http://www.ebrary.com/corp/accessCollections.jsp. Customers are welcome to add any of these collections to their ebrary channel by emailing site-update@ebrary.com.

By using our technology to make some of the most important information contained within government documents more discoverable, and by making DASH! available to others who wish to contribute relevant materials, we hope to provide a helpful resource for anyone who needs information on this prevalent disease.

Sincerely,
The ebrary Team

Click here to view an online version of this email  |  Forward to friend

The redesigned Cambridge Journals Online (CJO) is launching soon URLs will not be changing The newly designed CJO is scheduled to launch on Monday, September 20th, with improvements to the following key areas: Appearance Pages will be changing to a fixed width layout to achieve greater clarity A new color scheme will differentiate key areas Journal homepages will be streamlined to facilitate access to content; additional information about the journal will move onto linked pages Navigation A standard drop-down menu will appear at the top of all pages (see image below) Collapsible context-sensitive menus will appear on the left hand side of the page (see below for an expanded section) Ease of use Log-In and shopping basket will be clearly displayed in the top right hand corner (see graphic below) Quick search and cite search will also be available from the top menu (also on graphic below)  There will be clear buttons for 'Submit your article' and 'Subscribe to Journal' A tabbed area on the journal homepage will display current issue, FirstView articles, and highlighted articles if available Consistency The layout, particularly the positioning of key menus and functions, will be consistent between all pages All these changes are intended to simplify the key processes of content discovery, registration and personalization, for both users and administrators. Minimal functionality changes The general underlying functionality will be unchanged and all the URLs associated with CJO will remain the same. You will not need to modify your links. There will also be new developments, for example: Searching Faceted searching across CJO and Cambridge Books Online will be introduced. When a quick search is implemented, the results will show clearly distinguished matches from both journals and books. A facility to filter these results by content type, subject, author, or other criteria will also be available. Individual journal homepages Current content and archives will be positioned more prominently on the page. Subscription prices will be more clearly labeled and easier to access. Comments on FirstView articles It will be possible to post comments on FirstView articles, which are published online ahead of print. Existing functionality enabling comments to be posted on published articles will be improved. For screenshots and further details, see our CJO redesign slideshow The redesigned CJO is scheduled to launch on Monday, September 20th. We will be in touch with a reminder message as soon as the site is live. Kind regards, Tristan Collier Cambridge Journals At a glance: ● Enhanced page layout and display ● Improved, more intuitive navigation ● Easier access to popular features ● NO CHANGES to URLs. You will not need to modify your links. ● No changes to underlying functionality ● Faceted searching across CJO and Cambridge Books Online ● CJOMobile will launch soon after the redesign ● Messages will be sent as soon as the redesigned site is launched. Going Mobile CJOmobile (CJOm), will be launching soon after the redesigned CJO. (See CJOm homepage screenshot below.) ● CJOm will be optimized for smart phones and other small mobile devices ● Mobile devices will be detected and automatically directed to CJOmobile ● If CJOm users sign up for content alerts, or save searches or articles, these will be available on the main CJO and vice versa ● In summary CJOm will offer increased speed and convenience for mobile users Special message for librarians with low bandwidth internet access Thanks to a simplified design, low resolution images and an emphasis on text, CJOmobile will also function as a faster access point for readers in countries with low bandwidth. Redesign notes: As CJO is under constant evaluation, our developers will continue to refine the appearance of the site after it goes live. Some users may notice that further design improvements are made following launch.
