Welcome to the new PubMed!

The National Library of Medicine has redesigned PubMed.  The newly redesigned PubMed is now available for the public to preview and test. The goals for this redesign were to make PubMed easier to use, simplify the interface, refresh the look, better organize the text on the screen, and promote scientific discovery.  When NLM releases this new interface, the old PubMed interface will disappear.

Here are some links to help you with the new PubMed.

• To preview the redesign, click here.
• To send a comment to the National Library of Medicine about the New PubMed, click here.
• For help using the new interface, click here.
  
• For the National Library of Medicine’s Technical Bulletin article about the new interface, click here.

If you have any additional questions, you can email at ResearchServices@lumc.edu or call us at 6-9192.

Now Available! RSS Feed for Loyola Faculty Publications

Interested in seeing what new publications have been written by Loyola Faculty?  Go to the Faculty Publications Database, and click on the RSS image to sign up for the RSS feed;  you will be able to view the latest 20 entries into the Faculty Pubs database on a regular basis.

Using Refworks, a database has been created that consists of articles, books and book chapters written by Faculty from SSOM, Niehoff School of Nursing, the Graduate School and other Institutes here at the Medical Center. The citations, culled from Medline, Cinahl, and other databases are fully searchable by many fields including author, title, descriptor and department.

The Faculty Publications Database was developed by the librarians as a value-added service to:

• increase awareness of faculty research
• enhance communication amongst the Medical Center community
• promote LUMC research throughout the larger Jesuit Medical School community.

The database currently contains journal articles from January 2003 to present, along with books and book chapters.

The Faculty Publications Database is a work in progress. We do not purport to be all inclusive. Therefore, we are asking that all Faculty supply us with a CV or other list of publications so that we make the database as comprehensive as possible. Please email us at ResearchServices@lumc.edu for any additions or comments.

Find a Journal page Enhancements

Over the next few months, you’ll see a series of much-anticipated enhancements to the navigation and display of Loyola’s Health Sciences Library’s Find a Journal page. These enhancements will be implemented in a phased process. The first set of enhancements are scheduled for deployment on Wednesday, October 7th at 10:00 am Central Time (15:00 GMT).

• Linking to a journal from any tab in the Find a Journal pages will open the journal in a new window so you can easily navigate back to Find a Journal.
• True keyword searching will be available in the Find a Journal tab-enter one or more search terms in any order into the search box and you’ll generate a list of all journals with titles that include any of your terms.
• Additional improvements to how journals are sorted and displayed in the Browse by Title tab

Please note that if you are in the Find a Journal pages during the time of deployment, you may experience brief service interruptions.

If you have any questions or comments about these changes, please feel free to contact Heather Cannon, Serials & E-Resources Librarian at hcannon@lumc.edu or x6-5302.

Deselection List 12 – WB Medicine

Deselection List 12 – WB Medicine

Note: We will begin withdrawing these items October 30, 2009. If you would like any of these book, mark those you are interested in on the list and bring to the library or send the marked list to Dianne Olson at dolson@lumc.edu or rm 1723, bldg 101

In order to maintain a vital collection that meets the needs of our users and utilizes the limited space we have in the stack areas, the Health Sciences Library periodically deselects materials from our collection. The Library will begin this process in May and continue through the whole collection. Periodically a list of books slated for de-selection will be posted on this blog.

When a book is de-selected from the collection, it must meet one or several of the following criteria:

• The item no longer meets the mission of either the Health System or University.
• The item contains out-of-date information, has incorrect information, or is being replaced by a newer edition.
• The item is physically redundant as in the case of multiple copies of the same item.
• The item is not used or infrequently used (excluding historically significant or “rare book” material).

Items chosen for de-selection will, at some point, be placed on our “give away” shelf or sent to Better World Books (Better World Books collects and sells books online to fund literacy initiatives worldwide.).

A critical component of any de-selection project is to consult with our users about the books we have identified for de-selection. If you believe an item or items should be reconsidered, please send a response with justifications to Dianne Olson at dolson@lumc.edu.
