New pharmacogenomics database

The Connectivity Map is a database that provides information on how human genes respond to medications. Developed by researchers at the Broad Institute, a joint project of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University, this "tool relies on genes to connect diseases with potential drugs to treat them and to predict how new drugs function in cells" (Broad Institute, 2006).

Where to look for legal information

There's a new web page that includes resources on law & ethics. It contains links to databases, as well as website containing the text of Georgia law. The premier database for looking up legal information is Lexis-Nexis (available through Galileo.) In addition to searching federal and state codes and some case law, you can search for articles in legal journals and news sources. All these materials are fulltext.
