AGORA (Access to Global Online Research In Agriculture)

AGORA (Access to Global Online Research In Agriculture) is a collaborative project of FAO, CGIAR, the World Health Organization and Cornell University's TEEAL project, along with major scientific publishers. AGORA is based on TEEAL (The Essential Electronic Agricultural Library) and modeled after the World Health Organization's HINARI (Health InterNetwork Access to Research Initiative). The ultimate goal of AGORA is to increase the quality and effectiveness of agricultural and environmental science research in low-income countries and, in turn, to improve food security. By providing access to the scholarly literature of agriculture and environmental sciences, researchers and decision makers in developing countries will have access to the work of the global scientific community and be better able to incorporate proven scientific knowledge into their research.

Subject: The Safety Reporting Portal:FDA & NIH

The Food and Drug Administration and the National Institutes of Health today
launched a new Web site that, when fully developed, will provide a mechanism for
the reporting of pre- and post-market safety data to the federal government.
Currently the Web site can be used to report safety problems related to foods,
including animal feed, and animal drugs, as well as adverse events occurring on
human gene transfer trials. Consumers can also use the site to report problems
with pet foods and pet treats.

The new site, called the Safety Reporting Portal (SRP), provides greater and
easier access to online reporting.

"The portal will be a key detection tool in improving the country's nationwide
surveillance system and will strengthen our ability to protect the nation's
health," said Commissioner of Food and Drugs Margaret A. Hamburg. "We will now
be able to analyze human and animal safety-related events more quickly and
identify those measures needed to protect the public."

The new Web portal includes different features for different types of reporting:

     *  Reportable Food Registry: Industry will have a more user-friendly
electronic portal for submitting reportable food reports that are required by
law. This electronic portal collects reports from the food industry and public
health officials regarding problems with articles of food, including animal
feed, that present a reasonable probability of causing serious adverse health
consequences or death to humans or animals.

     *  Pets: Pet owners and veterinarians will be able to use the portal to
report product problems with pet foods and pet treats.

     *  Animal drugs: Animal drug manufacturers can report adverse drug events
associated with animal drugs.

     *   Clinical Trials: Biomedical researchers involved in human gene transfer
clinical trials can report an adverse event, indicating whether it might be an
unanticipated consequence of the product being tested. Trial sponsors can use
the portal to prepare a report, print it and send it to the agency to satisfy
reporting requirements for investigational new drugs

Nearly 1000 Islamic Studies Ph.Ds digitised

Researchers and librarians working in Islamic Studies will now for the first time have online access to nearly 1000 Ph.D theses in the subject, spanning over ten years. JISC, The Academy and The British Library have combined their resources to bring together Islamic Studies theses from universities across the UK and Ireland.

Up until now this wealth of knowledge has been dispersed across 97 universities and has only been accessible through individual academic libraries and archives. The collection represents nearly half of the 2000 Islamic Studies Ph.Ds written between 1997 and 2006.

This diverse collection, which has been put online by the British Library via its EThOS electronic theses service, covers fields such as Islamic law, history, politics, finance, anthropology, sociology and gender studies. There are also theses which examine Muslim communities in the UK.

ShaRef

The ShaRef (Shared References) Project is a project funded by and carried out at ETH Zürich, the third-largest Swiss university. ShaRef's goal is to improve the way ETH members (mainly researchers and students) manage their collections of references.While traditional Libraries often concentrate on the repository and retrieval facets of their work, for many scientists it is also very important to be able to manage and maintain references to the information they work with, such as bibliographic information and Web bookmarks. ShaRef aims at providing a solution (usable Web-based as well as offline) for creating, managing, and sharing reference information.
