Apologies for cross-posting BMJ Journals announce launch of the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases archive - almost 70 years of content, now freely available online The full archive of Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases (ARD): The EULAR Journal, starting from volume 1, issue 1 (1939) is now available online - provided by BMJ Journals, part of the BMJ Group, and hosted by Stanford University's HighWire Press. All content older than 12 months is freely available as fully searchable PDF files at: http://ard.bmj.com. Institutional subscribers to current content for ARD will automatically gain access to the archive via IP and remotely via Athens as applicable. Readers within institutions that subscribe to the current content are not required to register for access to the archive, although they can choose to do so to benefit from additional personalised services that are available such as folders, email alerting and saved searches. Registration for these additional services can be accessed at: http://www.journals.bmj.com/cgi/register. Readers based at organisations that don't subscribe to the current content of ARD will be required to complete a one-time registration process for free access, also at: http://www.journals.bmj.com/cgi/register. Once registered they will have access to all ARD archival journal content over 12 months old as it is published online, together with the personalised services, via username and password. The release of the ARD online archive is part of a phased programme by the BMJ Group to make the archival content of all the BMJ Journals' 23 specialist medical titles freely available online. ARD now joins Clinical Pathology, whose archive was launched in April. The remaining 21 titles covering some 4,000 issues will follow over the coming months. For a full listing of BMJ Journals titles please visit our Librarian Resources pages at: http://journals.bmj.com/lrc/archive.dtl where you will also find links to our usage statistics (available across archival and current content for subscribing organisations) together with other useful information for libraries.
