protocolsHimmelfarb Library subscribes to three different protocol databases including Brain Research Protocols, JoVE Biology, and Nature Protocols.

Brain Research Protocols, now incorporated into Brain Research, consists of current and updated protocols in a variety of subjects related to brain research including neuromorphology, neuropharmacology, and neurobiology.

JoVE Biology provides video demonstrations of research methods from cell, molecular, and organismal biology. With over 1,700 videos and growing, you can find new applications of standard techniques in JoVE Biology.

Nature Protocols provides fully searchable, peer-reviewed laboratory protocols in "recipe style," step-by-step procedures that can be easily applied to your own research in the lab. Covering a wide range of biological and biomedical fields, Nature Protocols focuses on providing practical information not typically found in original primary research papers. Protocols are added weekly.
