LITERATURE UPDATE
September 26, 2008 – October 2, 2008
Literature search for biomech* or locomot*

***BIG NEWS***
The Literature Update has decided to embrace this whole "internet" thing and
as a result starting this week URLs based on DOI# will be included for each
article. A few notes on this release
- Will this actually work for everyone? I have no idea, but I am keeping my
fingers crossed.
- Not all articles have a DOI.
- A few of URLs do not seem to be working, I am not sure why.
- There may still be a few bugs, feedback and comments are welcome.
- Thanks to Luc Berthouze for his suggestions and assistance.
***NOTE*** Articles with no volume, issue or page numbers indicate that the
article has not been published in paper form yet, but may be available in
electronic form through the publisher.
