Book Sale and Library Hours

We have some new items for sale on our Infinite Book Sale shelf located up against the Circulation desk. There are Clinics of North America and 2005 Audio Digest CD's. Come check it out.

Also a note: The Medical Library will be closed beginning Friday, Dec. 21 at 3pm until Wednesday, Jan. 2 at 7am, which means you can use the library and the computer lab, but you can't check anything out. Have a great Holiday season!

Online books

Did you know that the Health Sciences Library offers a variety of textbooks online? We subscribe to StatRef and MD Consult which delivers full text searchable textbooks online. We have new book marks with the latest editions available at these two websites, so come in and check it out.

Keeping up with the Technology

We have great news!

We now have a scanner in what we call the "little lab" adjacent to the computer lab in the library. It is available 24 hrs, 7 days a week for you to scan items for presentations. It is easy to use, but we will be happy to show you how this one works.

Audio Digest, the popular lecture series on CD is now available as MP3 downloads as well. Thanks to Scott Strom's inquiry we now have access set up for the MP3 downloads. You do need a username and password to access these, so stop in and we will give you the secret codes.

Good News

Welcome back!! Here in the Health Sciences Library, we hope everyone had a safe and happy holiday. We spent some time before the end of the year putting the old journals in the stacks and getting ready for the new 2007’s to arrive. This was a messy, noisy job and I hope no one was too inconvenienced during the process.

One of the new things going on in the library is the beginning of a new Consumer Health collection. We are adding a number of medical books, videos and magazines aimed specifically at the layperson. A number of authoritative Consumer health databases will also be available to these users. Any suggestions for materials to be added to this collection would be greatly appreciated.

While the library has previously been restricted to health system personnel, we are now making a section of the space available to patients, their families and caregivers. We expect that students from the local schools and the general public will eventually start using this collection also. At this time access to this collection will be only during the hours the library is staffed (7am to 5pm, Monday –Friday).

And REALLY BIG NEWS!!! MedStudy is finally here! The Internal Medicine Board review materials have been added to our collection and may be checked out for circulation. These books are on RESERVE and are located in the library office. They may be checked out for 7 days, and may not be renewed. And there will be a late fee for being even a day overdue!!! These are expensive books and we only have one copy, so be considerate of your fellow trainees and please don’t keep them out longer than necessary.

Here is a list of the new books added to the library in December 2006
