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.

Change in UpToDate

UpToDate changed the design of their web site today. We are updating our site with the new URL, www.uptodate.com/online. In the meantime, if you click “Agree” to the subscription and licensing agreement, it should let you search all of UpToDate as usual. Please ignore the Login link in the upper right-hand corner which is not relevant to institutional subscribers such as WFUSM. If you have any questions, please contact David Stewart at dstewart@wfubmc.edu

Additionally, the Library will hold scheduled classes on the Policy throughout the spring and summer. For information on Policy details, links to resources to aid in copyright retention, and guidelines for compliance, see the Library's NIH Public Access Resources web page.
