Now available JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association) & Archives Backfiles Collection

From the VIP Wire Announcement:

The American Medical Association has digitized the entire archive of JAMA & Archives journals. The JAMA & Archives Backfiles are a singularly rich, full-text digital resource that includes every issue of JAMA and the specialty Archives Journals dating back to the first issue of JAMA published in July 1883.

Fully integrated into the JAMA & Archives web sites, the Backfiles deliver more than 1.7 million pages—every article, every image—into the digital age. Each article has been carefully scanned and digitally optimized, allowing readers to explore the Backfiles using sophisticated searches and a host of additional online research tools. Pivotal articles, such as the original Blalock-Taussig operation and Sabin’s and Salk’s polio vaccine, as well as thousands of archival images and even advertisements, are a few clicks away.

Links to every issue are now available on the Past Issues page of each journal’s web site. Publications included in the Backfiles include: JAMA (from 1883), Archives of Dermatology (from 1920), Archives of Family Medicine (1992-2000), Archives of Neurology & Psychiatry (1919 to 1959), Archives of General Psychiatry (from 1959), Archives of Neurology (from 1959), Archives of Internal Medicine (from 1908), Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine (formerly American Journal of Diseases of Children) (from 1911), Archives of Ophthalmology (from 1929), Archives of Otolaryngology—Head & Neck Surgery (from 1925), and Archives of Surgery (from 1920).

The Backfiles are available on an individual article basis or as an institutional site licence.

Click to view the article Quilting big data threads
Thursday, 24th May 2012

Recently I have found myself cooing over visualisation maps (and heat maps) of health and well being resources. The content rich data is overlayed with mapping technologies, and some interesting themes and patterns are emerging.


Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?


Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.


Click to view the article Newsdesk: tracking millions of pieces of information a day
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?


Click to view the article Alacra Compliance adds managerial oversight
