New features include:

• special tabs for high-usage tools
• compatibility with iPhone, iPod Touch, BlackBerry smartphones, and other mobile devices.
• New search functionality allows for multi-term search, predictive text, synonyms and suggestions for alternate spellings.

NEJM Linking Issue

We have received this notice from the New England Journal of Medicine about a problem with PubMed linking. You may still go directly to the NEJM at this link in the meantime. If you need assistance, please contact the Reference Desk at 336-713-7100 or email refdesk@wfubmc.edu

As part of our transition to our new website at NEJM.org, I want to let you know that article-level links from PubMed to the NEJM website have been temporarily removed while NLM updates the links to the new URL structure at the NEJM website.

When this process is complete the article-level links to the NEJM website will be restored.

ePocrates Online has been discontinued

ePocrates Online has been discontinued. We have had a two year free license to help them evaluate the web site as it was being rolled out, but now the beta testing period is over and we will have to pay for future access.

Over the last two years this resource has received good but not outstanding usage and its clinical content cannot compare to similar content in other Library resources such as UpToDate and DynaMed.

Pharmacological information can be found in Micromedex as well as LexiComp (through UpToDate) and the drug monographs in AccessMedicine and MDConsult.

There is still the free pharmacological portion of ePocrates available. Instructions on how to download it will continue to be found on our Mobile Computing web page.

If you have any questions please contact David Stewart at dstewart@wfubmc.edu or at 6-4181.

UpToDate URL change

UpToDate has unexpectedly changed the address from utdol.com to uptodate.com - the website has been updated, but won't go live until 2 am. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Archives news

Dorothy Carpenter Medical Archives erected a display created in 2000 of Coy C. Carpenter Library space. The display is timely since the Library recently completed renovations in late 2009. To see the physical display, come to the E-level of the Nutrition Building near the Hanes/Gray breezeway or you can read about Library space.

The Archives has acquired some of the late Dr. Walter Bo's materials including Gross Anatomy teaching manuals, lectures and slides. And another interesting collection is Dr. Stephen Richardson's research on cholera. Materials include the US-Japan Cooperative Medical Science Program Conferences on Cholera from 1968 to 2003.

These materials are available for patrons in the Archives on the E-floor of the Gray Building.
