The Journal of Visualized Experiments (JoVE) is an online journal publishing biological, medical, chemical, and physical research in a video format. JoVE takes advantage of video technology to capture and transmit the multiple facets and intricacies of life science research. Visualization greatly facilitates the understanding and efficient reproduction of both basic and complex experimental techniques. The UC Libraries subscription includes JoVE General plus two specialized sections: JoVE Neuroscience and JoVE Bioengineering.

CHECK OUT THESE GREAT RESOURCES
International Bibliography of Art (IBA)
http://proxy.libraries.uc.edu/login?url=http://search.proquest.com/iba/advanced?accountid=2909
The definitive resource for scholarly literature on Western art, the International Bibliography of Art (IBA) is the successor to the Bibliography of the History of Art (BHA), and retains the editorial policies that made BHA one of the most trusted and frequently consulted sources in the field. The database includes records created by the Getty Research Institute in 2008-09, with new records created by ProQuest using the same thesaurus and authority files. Plans are for the database to grow by 25,000 records per year, ensuring unbroken coverage of journals that were indexed in BHA and IBA prior to 2010. The initial data set created by the Getty Research Institute in 2008-09 covers scholarship up to 2009, including retrospective records for material published in previous years, and in some cases the new ProQuest indexing will also cover retrospective years in order to fill gaps in coverage. Publications covered include at least 500 core journals with an emphasis on specialist and rare titles not covered by other indexes, plus detailed coverage of monographs, essay collections, conference proceedings, and exhibition catalogues.
