Thanks to a generous two-year grant from the Joint Labor/Management Committee (which includes representatives of the United University Professions and the Governor's Office of Employee Relations), and a subsidy from the SUNY University and Health Science Center Libraries, all SUNY four-year and university and health science center campuses are enrolled as BMC members. During this membership period, April 2005 - March 2007, SUNY faculty and researchers may submit an unlimited number of research papers to any BMC journals without incurring article processing fees. BMC, an independent publishing house with a portfolio of over 100 journals, is committed to providing immediate free access to peer-reviewed biomedical research. Authors retain copyright over their work published by BMC and agree to allow free and unrestricted non-commercial use of their work by others. Research articles published in BMC are permanently archived and made accessible through PubMed Central, a free digital archive of biomedical and life sciences journal literature created by the U.S. National Institutes of Health. SUNY faculty, researchers and students are encouraged to publish in and use BMC. Extension of SUNY membership beyond March 2007 will depend, in part, on the use that SUNY students and faculty make of these journals.

Included are news, editorials, letters to the editor, obituaries, birth and marriage announcements, historical photos, stock photos, and advertisements.

It is the first “open access” journal published by the San Francisco-based Public Library of Science (PLoS), a non-profit organization of scientists and physicians. It employs a new model for scientific publishing in which research articles are freely available to read and use through the Internet. The costs of publication are recovered not from subscription fees -- which limit information access and use -- but from publication fees paid by authors out of their grant funds and from other sources.

PLoS is one of several initiatives that promote open access to scientific and medical literature. Although they still represent only a fraction of the published research literature, many open-access journals have been launched. BioMed Central is a commercial publisher of original research papers using an open-access model. The Directory of Open Access Journals identifies 540 peer-reviewed open-access journals in wide-ranging scholarly and scientific fields. There are also groups, such as the Open Society Institute and SPARC that are providing support and advocacy for open-access publishing.

SFX is a library service that allows you to connect from the references you obtain in an online database search to the complete texts of the documents referenced. For the most part, full text access is available for articles in magazines and journals.

When you do a search in one of our databases (e.g., FirstSearch), each reference retrieved will display the SFX icon. When you click on that icon, a menu will appear offering a number of options. If the SFX service determines that you should be able to access the complete document online, a link will appear on the menu that will take you to that full text. Another link on the menu will formulate and automatically run a search for that document in our online catalog, STARS. More links are in development, including one that will enable you to request items that are not in our collection from the Interlibrary Loan Service.

Occasionally, when you click on a full text link on the SFX menu, you will be taken to the journal's homepage or to a database search screen, but not the document itself. In those cases, you will need to follow the instructions provided to retrieve the document.

If you retrieve results from a database search that do not show SFX icons, you will need to determine whether you can access that article by checking the list of the library's electronic journals and by looking up the document in STARS.
