The Journal of Visualized Experiments (commonly known as JoVE)  is a new kind of journal that makes peer reviewed scientific research available in video format. Because of its unique coverage, the journal is particularly useful in supporting the development of research protocols and has been regularly requested by faculty and students across the campuses.

There are several sections to the journal and at this point the libraries are subscribing to two of the sections:

• Neuroscience
• Immunology and Infection

We will be assessing use of JoVE, seeking input on the utility of the two sections on trial, and the desirability of the other sections for Dalhousie users. We hope that this one year trial will give us sufficient time to both assess JoVE for Dalhousie, and determine whether we can maintain an ongoing subscription.

You can learn more about JoVE by reading an interesting article from the Dalhousie Gazette (Jan 2, 2011) here.
