"In marine
biotechnology, molecular biology and molecular genetics are applied
specifically to marine and aquatic organisms. The field holds great promise -
in increased production of seafood, in the development of new therapeutic
drugs, in the engineering of microbes that digest and remove environmental
and marine pollutants, and in launching myriad ventures having immense
economic benefit. An ever-increasing number of researchers are turning their
investigations to the sea and its organisms. And ASFA Marine Biotechnology
Abstracts - now part of the Cambridge Biotechnology Research Series - is the
one database that assembles the findings from these diverse investigations in
a single source. The database also features coverage of United States
patents. The findings and practical applications summarized in this database
will benefit all researchers and managers concerned with the science,
technology, and management of marine environments. " (FAO on behalf of

Godey`s Lady`s Book
(1830-1885) (includes 18,000 images) has both a cultural and an egalitarian
thrust. Intended to entertain, inform, educate, and empower the growing
audience of middle class women in America. In addition to extensive fashion
descriptions and plates, the early issues included biographical sketches,
articles about mineralogy, handcrafts, female costume, the dance, equestrienne
procedures, health & hygiene, recipes, remedies, etc. Each issue also
contained two pages of sheet music, written essentially for the piano forte.
Gradually the periodical matured into an important literary magazine and
contained extensive book reviews and works by Harriet Beecher Stowe, Edgar
Allen Poe, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and many other
celebrated 19th century authors who regularly furnished the magazine with
essays, poetry and short stories. The Lady`s Book was also a vast reservoir
of handsome illustrations, which included hand-colored fashion plates,
mezzotints, engravings, woodcuts, and ultimately chromolithographs. In 1836,
Sarah Josepha Hale (1788-1879) became the new editor of Godey`s Lady`s Book.
Mrs. Hale brought substance to the magazine, and wrote frequently about the
notion of "women`s sphere." In 1846 she stated, "The time of
action is now.We have to sow the fields-the harvest is sure. The greatest
triumph of this progression is redeeming woman from her inferior position and
placing her side by side with man, a help-mate for him in all his
pursuits." Her steadfast devotion of purpose and her unwavering
editorial principles regarding social inequalities and the education of
American women, made her one of the most important editors of her time. Under
Mrs. Hale`s leadership the magazine flourished, reaching a pre-civil war
circulation of 150,000. Editor, then publisher Louis Antoine Godey
(1804-1878) and editor Sarah Hale became a force majeure in 19th century American
life and culture.

The OIE Documentation
Centre houses a vast collection of documentary resources (currently more than
13,000 documents) accessible via a database where documents have been
compiled, indexed and analyzed using a bilingual French-English thesaurus
designed specifically for OIE areas of activity. The database compiles all

published by the OIE and other institutions that are housed in OIE
Headquarters and its documentation centre. In particular, the database

database has been reserved for OIE Headquarters staff and available solely
via the Organization_s intranet but, in January 2011, a more user-friendly
version will feature on the new OIE website. So far the new version contains
around 5,000 documents emanating from OIE activities between 1921 and 2010
(OIE publications and joint publications). The new database features a system
for searching the following documents by keyword (subject, language, source,
year and author), in many instances providing access to the full text: "
All monographs published by the OIE. " All OIE periodical publications,
including: o articles from the Scientific and Technical Review since it was
first published in 1981; o OIE animal health standards; o technical items
presented to the World Assembly of Delegates. " General session reports.
" Resolutions and recommendations adopted by the Regional Commissions and
the World Assembly of Delegates since 1924. " Reports from the various
OIE commissions, working groups and ad hoc groups. " Conference
proceedings and reports of seminars, workshops, consultations, training
courses, missions and meetings organised by the OIE alone or jointly with
other organisations, including both official and unofficial documents. "
Documents from OIE regional representations. Older documents in the OIE
archives, including reports published in the OIE Bulletin since it was first
published in 1927, articles from the OIE Scientific and Technical Review
between 1981 and 2001, World Animal Health reports since 1981 and OIE
normative publications (codes and manuals) since they were first published
were all included in the first digitization programme[1], which was completed
in 2010. The digitized content of these archives will be incorporated into
the database, which will soon give access to the full range of documents
arising from OIE activities since the Organization was created in 1924.
