TDNet Update:

New England Journal of Medicine (Highwire Free Full Text) the free version of this through Highwire has limited access and requires registration. Thus, I'm requesting that TDNet remove the title, which they will as of October 1st. I'm having it taken off the list after repeated complaints about inability to access.

Rights Retention - I've noticed some EBSCO journals where even outside of an embargo period, I can't gain access to full text, because the full text for certain articles isn't there. EBSCO informs me that this is because in certain situations, the rights holder has refused to allow online access to the article.

Nature Biotechnology (EBSCO) This is an example of the rights retention problem mentioned above. I've added a note "coverage incomplete due to publisher restrictions."

Pediatric Emergency Care (OVID) - coverage 2000 - present, has been added to TDNet.

Thanks,
Michael
