The papers listed above appear in the 15 February 1996 issue. If you would like further details about Nucleic Acids Research, including instructions for authors or details of subscription rates, please contact:- Richard Gedye Oxford University Press Walton Street Oxford OX2 6DP United Kingdom Tel: +44 1865 267785 Fax: +44 1865 267782 E-mail: gedyer@oup.co.uk Copyright in the table of contents listed above is held by Oxford University Press, but you are welcome to circulate it further, provided that Oxford University Press is credited as publisher and copyright holder. =============================================== NAR ONLINE - FURTHER DETAILS After the original posting last year of the announcement about NAR Online, we have had a substantial number of very helpful comments and feedback from people who have visited the site. As a result of some of the comments, we have now decided to extend a more liberal institutional access policy until the end of 1996. There will be an announcement about this printed in Volume 24 Issue 6, but I thought HUM-MOLGEN members might like to see it in advance. Here is the formal announcement:- "As a special introduction, anyone who is from an institution that has a subscription to the 1996 print version of Nucleic Acids Research may register free of charge for full access to NAR Online until December 1996. If your organization has an institutional subscription, each person wishing to use the service will need to register to obtain their own username and password in order to gain maximum benefit from the services available on this site. To complete the registration process, they will need to quote the institutional subscriber number." I have also drafted the following mini-FAQ regarding NAR Online, which I hope may be of some use. WHAT SPECIAL FEATURES DOES NAR ONLINE OFFER? * You can obtain articles online in advance of hard copy. * You can browse current and forthcoming issues, as well as a three year back file * You can search all the issues, by author and keyword (in title, abstract, or full text) * You can retrieve full text (and images) of articles either immediately over the web while you wait, or you can order them by e-mail to be ftped to your site * You can choose the format in which you want your articles delivered:- HTML for quick and easy screen reading, as well as easy printability PDF for quick screen browsing and superb printing quality Postscript for superb printing quality without the need to view the article first Printerleaf if you want to use the same software as NAR on CD-ROM * You can go directly from references to their Medline Abstracts * You can go directly to genetic sequencing databases referred to in articles * You can receive advance notice by e-mail of papers to be published. HOW DO I ACCESS NAR ONLINE? Simply go to http://www.oup.co.uk/nar/ For 1996, you can access the complete text of NAR Online if:- 1. You have your own personal print subscription Just visit the NAR Online web site to register. You'll need to have your subscriber number ready (it's printed on your subscription address label that comes with each issue). 2. Your institution has a library subscription Ask your librarian for the library's subscription number, then register yourself at the NAR Online web site. Remember to use your own name when you register (not that of the library) and to create your own personal password. Then we can send you advance table of contents information by e-mail and also let you know immediately of any changes or enhancements to the online access system. WHAT IF NEITHER I NOR MY LIBRARY HAVE A CURRENT SUBSCRIPTION? In 1996, you can still visit NAR Online and browse or search the titles and abstracts as a visitor. But you won't be able to access the full text of articles. I'M THINKING OF SUBSCRIBING - CAN I SEE A SAMPLE ONLINE ISSUE FIRST? Yes. You'll find when you come to our site as a visitor that you can access the full text of Volume 23, Issue 24 (the last issue of 1995) ------------------------------------- We hope you find this information helpful. All questions, comments and suggestions, etc. on NAR Online's quality, speed, ease of use, facilities, and options will continue to be greatly welcomed. We've already done a lot to enhance NAR Online as a result of the feedback so far, and we look forward to continuing to do so.
