The next NCBI Minute highlights some of the highly used classic textbooks available (for free!) on the NCBI Bookshelf, points out some new ones that have been recently added, introduces why several publishers and authors find this a valuable resource to boost their readership, and how to join in by adding new and updating existing textbooks on the NCBI Bookshelf.
Date and time: Wed, March 7, 2018 12:00 PM – 12:30 PM EST
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email with information about attending the webinar. A few days after the live presentation, you can view the recording on the NCBI YouTube channel. You can learn about future webinars on the Webinars and Courses page.
Since 1999, NCBI has worked with publishers and authors to provide an additional way for readers to access their products. Housed at the U.S. National Library of Medicine, users of the NCBI Bookshelf can freely access Books, Reports, and Documents. Classic textbooks are some of the most popular and heavily used entries, with hundreds of thousands of people using their favorite book every month!
In the next NCBI Minute on Wednesday, January 10, 2018, NCBI staff will demonstrate the new QuickBLASTP service that can search large databases at least 10X faster than traditional protein-protein BLAST (blastp). You will learn about the strategy QuickBLASTP uses to speed up the search. You will also see how to use the new QuickBLASTP service on the NCBI web BLAST site and how to access and run the standalone kblastp demonstration release.
