PMCIDs in RefMan & EndNote

PubMed Central reference numbers - PMCIDs - and NIH Manuscript Submission system reference numbers - NIHMS IDs - can now be pulled into Reference Manager databases and EndNote libraries from PubMed citations by editing the existing PubMed filters.

New Page on Archives Website

Check out the new page called Transcripts on the Dorothy Carpenter Medical Archives website (http://ewake.wfubmc.edu:88/library/archives/transcripts.html). With the different type of transcript requests that the Archives staff receives, the staff decided to create a page with the information on the many current and some defunct programs and classes at WFUBMC. More information will be added as it is received with potential links to medical school, graduate school and certificate program transcripts.
