Many of our Lippincott Williams and Wilkins journals use the Ovid interface so you many notice the change when you access these titles. According to Ovid, current customizations or personal accounts set up in Ovid Gateway will be transition to OvidSP seamlessly. More information available here...:

BioMedExperts - New Online Research Community
BioMedExperts is a new online community that connects biomedical researchers to each other through the display and analysis of the networks of co-authors with whom each investigator works to publish scientific papers. The comprehensive system of pre-populated expert profiles, coupled with the ability to analyze all associated professional connections within the co-author network, allows scientists and researchers across organizations the ability to share data and collaborate in ways never before considered.

SCOAP3 Model Proposed for Funding Particle Physics Journals
The SCOAP3 project is an innovative new model for funding high energy physics journals. SCOAP3, the Sponsoring Consortium for Open Access Publishing in Particle Physics, has proposed a mechanism for particle physics to pay for its own publishing costs and make articles in the field openly available to the world without cost to the reader. Rather than rely on typical journal subscriptions, in the SCOAP3 model, universities, labs, and funding agencies involved in producing particle physics literature pay into a consortium (SCOAP3). The consortium then pays publishers to publish their journals openly on the web.
From the MIT LIbrary News blog, 1/9/2008.

Prof. Meng's Company Released News Metasearch Engine
Webscalers, a company co-founded by Computer Science Professor Weiyi Meng who serves as its President, released to the public a news metasearch engine called AllInOneNews in August 2007. AllInOneNews connects to over 1,800 news sources in more than 200 countries and regions. The ability to connect with many search engines simultaneously enables AllInOneNews to provide the timeliest information possible. AllInOneNews also performs "semantic search," meaning that it looks not only for keywords, but also for subject matter closely related to the original query.
AllInOneNews grew out of a research project sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF). Later, NSF's Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program provided funds for Phase I and II of the project. Prof. Meng is a leading researcher in large-scale metasearch technology. A PR Newswire Item contains more information about the release.
