1. The Protocols tab in the search.HSLS.MolBio search box<\/strong><\/p>\n

The library subscribes to a number of experimental protocol resources including Cold Spring Harbor Protocols<\/a>, Current Protocols<\/a>, Journal of Visualized Experiments (JoVE)<\/a>, and SpringerProtocols<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Click on the Protocols tab in the search.HSLS.MolBio search box<\/a> to quickly search all these resources at once. Results are clustered by major topics based on the query with the option to \u201cremix\u201d the search results to see more subtle topics that did not appear the first time.<\/p>\n

2. The Protocol Exchange from Nature Protocols<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Protocol Exchange<\/a> is an open repository for the deposition and sharing of protocols for scientific research.\u201d Nearly 3,000 protocols are in the exchange. Recent titles include: A Protocol for Live Imaging of Pancreatic Tissue<\/a> and Re-Using Plastic Cassettes for Vertical Gel Electrophoresis<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Protocols can be browsed by subjects such as cell biology, imaging, and neuroscience, and then further refined with a keyword search. Note: the protocols listed as \u201cCommunity Contributed\u201d have not been peer reviewed.<\/p>\n

3. PMC Advanced Search Builder<\/strong><\/p>\n

PubMed Central\u00ae is a free full-text archive of biomedical and life sciences journal literature at the U.S. National Institutes of Health’s National Library of Medicine. In the Advanced Search Builder<\/a> you can limit a search to the methods\/materials section of an article. This ensures that only articles that actually used a technique, procedure, or instrument in the experiment will be retrieved, and not articles that just refer to the technique.<\/p>\n
