- We found this JSTor Workset Browser — according to creator Eric Lease Morgan, “The Browser takes this citations.xml file as input and then: 1) harvests the content, 2) indexes it, 3) does some analysis against the content, 4) creates a few graphs illustrating characteristics of the dataset, and finally 5) generates a browsable “catalog” in the form of an HTML table.”
- Newly uploaded from the Royal College of Physicians of London, James Frazer’s The Golden Bough (the other 11 volumes are available, too!)
- The Centre for Medical Humanities is looking for a reviewer for The Sick Rose: Disease and the Art of Medical Illustration.
