INFOMINE is a virtual library of Internet resources relevant to faculty, students, and research staff at the university level. It contains useful Internet resources such as databases, electronic journals, electronic books, bulletin boards, mailing lists, online library card catalogs, articles, directories of researchers, and many other types of information. It is librarian built. Librarians from the University of California, Wake Forest University, California State University, the University of Detroit - Mercy, and other universities and colleges have contributed to building INFOMINE.INFOMINE is a unique Web resource featuring well organized access to important university level research and educational tools on the Internet. A virtual library, INFOMINE is notable for its collection of annotated and indexed links. Information in INFOMINE is easy to find given the multiplicity of access points provided (ways of finding the information contained). It contains over 100,000 links (26,000 librarian created links and 75,000 plus robot/crawler created links). Substantive databases, electronic journals, guides to the Internet for most disciplines, textbooks and conference proceedings are among the many types of resources included. The life sciences INFOMINE alone, for example, provides interactive access to several hundred databases. Separate virtual collections or INFOMINEs exist in most major areas of university level research and educational interests. Click here to see the Database Content Information. It began in January of 1994 as a project of the Library of the University of California, Riverside. It was one of the first Web resources of any type offered by a Library. It was also one of the first Web-based, academic virtual libraries as well as one of the first to develop a system combining the advantages of the hypertext and multi-media capabilities of the Web with those of the organizational and retrieval functions of a database manager. We now include focused, automatic Internet crawling as well as automatic text extraction and metadata creation functions to assist our experts in content creation and users in searching. Many of INFOMINE''s important features and services, described below, remain unique among Internet resource collections. INFOMINE, as mentioned, provides a great number of access points, BROWSE (What''s New, Title, Table of Contents, Subject -- LCSH, Subject - LCC, Search -- Research Discipline, Key Word, Megatopics - Keyword in context, Title, Author, hyperlinked indexing) and SEARCH (Title, Subject -- LCSH, Key Word, Author, Description, Full-text), and LIMIT search (Resource Type, Resource Origin and Access) modes. Searching in fielded and full-text mode allows the user to quickly find high quality resources on the chosen subject(s). Nested, boolean searching capabilities are featured as is exact searching. Search results come back in the form of dynamically created Web pages. Results within these can be ranked by relevance to the search or alphabetically by title. Displays available include title only, regular display, long display and full display. Many of the displays feature indexing terms that are viewable and in hyperlink form and, when clicked upon, allow further broadening or narrowing of the search as desired. Noteworthy as well is that INFOMINE is augmenting its content with a large, second-tier collection of automatically selected and described resources that should complement its first-tier collection of expert created records and allow the user more detail in searching and a greater number of useful results. Finally, on the Advanced Search page, we have browsing indexes which cover all topics and more. These include: * Subjects -- LCSH (Library of Congress Subject Headings), Table of Contents (LCSH with titles filing under each heading), LCC (Library of Congress Classifications) and Research Disciplines * Keywords -- MegaTopics (keyphrases drawn from our title, subject, keyword and annotation fields) and standard Keywords * Other Indexes: Authors, Titles, Resource Types and What''s New Among the contributions of INFOMINE is the essential enrichment or value added service, as mentioned, of providing concise descriptive information (e.g., an annotation as well as in-depth indexing terminology including Library of Congress Subject Headings) for each record. This greatly helps users to quickly retrieve a focused results set, examine the relevance of individual records and then choose among them immediately prior to accessing thus saving considerable time. Librarian collection expertise and concerns regarding resource comprehensiveness, quality and general usefulness from an academic perspective guide all INFOMINE resource selection activities. Also a crucial behind-the-scenes contribution from INFOMINE is that we are addressing the challenge of better subject portal scaling (keeping up with the growth of important resources on the Internet) by semi-automating or automating a number of collection building tasks (e.g., identification of significant resources for collecting and developing metadata descriptions of these resources). This will help us save crucial resources and redirect them into creating a better and larger collection. In-depth description and indexing, careful selection, a considerable number of options in browsing/searching, and ample help in usage mean that faculty, students and staff can find important, relevant Internet resources quickly and easily via INFOMINE. Sponsors: INFOMINE is supported by the University of California, Riverside.

A portal to educate, engage and create an online community. The Fisher Center for Alzheimer''s Research Foundation, founded in 1995, was created in answer to the recommendations of three U.S. Senate commissioned symposia held in the 1990s by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to gather information on the cause, care and cure of Alzheimer''s disease. The Fisher Center was created following this design. The funding initiatives of the Foundation are appropriated accordingly to the three areas cited by the NIH task force cause, care and cure. The primary resources of the Foundation are directed toward scientific research into the cause and hopefully the cure of Alzheimer''s disease. To this end, the Foundation under the direction of its founder, Zachary Fisher, and in collaboration with David Rockefeller, constructed the Fisher Center for Alzheimer''s Disease Research at The Rockefeller University, headed by 2000 Nobel Prize winner, Paul Greengard, Ph.D. The 10,000 square foot laboratory is the most advanced facility of its kind in the country equipped with the latest in equipment necessary to undertake an interdisciplinary assault on this disease. The Fisher Center also has collaborative programs at the University of Genoa and supports the work of well over 60 scientists and researchers across the United States and in 17 foreign countries. The Foundation also funds projects for the care of people with Alzheimer''s disease and their caregivers. The Fisher Alzheimer''s Disease Education and Resources Program at the New York University School of Medicine was established under the direction of Barry Reisberg, M.D., internationally known expert in the care of Alzheimer''s patients. The Foundations Alzheimer''s Information Program was created in 2001 to answer the primary need of caregivers for comprehensive, easily accessible information. Our goals are to: Understand the Cause of Alzheimer''s To find a Cure for this devastating disease Improve the Care of people living with the disease to enhance their quality of life and that of their caregivers and families About Our Research Beating Back Beta Amyloid Improving the Quality of Life for Alzheimers Patients Reversing Nerve Cell Damage Using Hormones to Slow the Progress of Disease Curing Early-Onset Alzheimers The Science of Caregiving Scientific Studies

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on July 17, 2013. It houses chimpanzees that have been used in biomedical research, but no active, invasive research is conducted on the site. The APF provides for the long-term care and husbandry of chimpanzees that have been used in biomedical research. Charles River Laboratories Inc. operates the facility under contract with the National Institutes of Health. To be used in continuing virological research, the animals must be transferred to active chimpanzee research settings. All chimpanzees at the APF have been exposed to various microorganisms, such as hepatitis C virus and HIV. For this reason, they may be candidates for studies related to these diseases. The National Center for Research Resources (NCRR) may remove infected animals from the APF to other accredited chimpanzee facilities for research purposes. Investigators interested in the chimpanzees at the APF should contact Dr. Harold Watson in NCRR''s Division of Comparative Medicine to discuss research requirements.

NBRP-Rat was established to overcome limitations associated with properly utilizing existing rat resources. The collection of existing strains and genetic sub strains, phenotypic and genotypic characterization, cryopreservation of embryos, distribution of the collected rat strains, and a publicly accessible database of all assembled data are the major goals of this project. Once achieved, this unique database including the unique rat strains will become a powerful tool for biomedical research. A catalog of comparable, standardized and well characterized rat strains will lead to new and more precise research topics as well as it will facilitate biomedical sciences, drug discovery, advanced chemical research, and contributes to life sciences worldwide. As mentioned before, the major goals of NBRP-Rat are the collection, preservation and supply of rat strains. The repository includes strains from Japan and abroad, spontaneous mutants, congenic and recombinant strains as well as transgenic and mutagenized rats. Deposited rat strains are not only conserved as cryopreserved embryos and sperm. Many reference and frequently used rat strains are also maintained as living animals under SPF conditions. Furthermore, NBRP-rat provides a unique database on various rat strain phenotypes accompanied with basic genetic information. This allows scientists the selection of standardized and research specific strains. The animals themselves are provided free of charge to the research community (except for shipping costs). Sponsors: This project is one part of the National BioResource Projects (NBRP) in Japan for more than 20 species including animals, plants, microbes, tissues and DNAs. It is founded by the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (Monkasho) and started in 2002.
