PubMed Central completes microbiology set

PubMed Central has completed the digitization of the complete run of Microbiology & Molecular Biology Reviews and its predecessors, Microbiological Reviews and Bacteriological Reviews. I learned of this development through Carole Myers, courtesy of the PMC-News mailing list. This is another significant step in the NLM's backfile digitization project. As noted by Gary Price in the ResourceShelf, there are additional journals to be digitized and deposited with PubMed Central, with funding from the Wellcome Trust and the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC). A preliminary list of journals for digitizing has been posted at the Wellcome Trust Library website. Microbiology & Molecular Biology Reviews - Fulltext v61+ (1997+) 1 year moving wall; Print ISSN: 1092-2172 | Online ISSN: 1098-5557 Microbiological Reviews - Fulltext v42-60 (1978-1996).
