Lynne Turman, Head of Collections at Tompkins-McCaw Library replies...

Thank you for the suggestion. We welcome and actively solicit suggestions from VCU faculty and students for enhancements to our collections. Many factors go into the decision to subscribe to a particular journal, including reputation, journal impact factor, cost, relevance, etc. The cost for a subscription to Current Protocols in Cytometry is over $4900. We will place this title into consideration for new journals in the future, depending on budget allocations.

You may find two other resources useful for locating information on this topic: Nature Protocols and Cold Spring Harbor Protocols. Both are new subscriptions and contain numerous full-text protocols on research methods. VCU Libraries has a site license for access to these titles back to 2006.
