Sage Sayings of Dr. Andrew Taylor Still

"Osteopathy is a science that analyzes man and finds that he partakes of Divine intelligence."

Thruhlar Robert E. Doctor A.T. Still in the living. Chagrin Falls, Ohio, 1950.

MDConsult Update

Accessing MDConsult has changed to IP authentication, which means there is no need for a Username or Password either on campus or off campus, as long as you access it through the library's website.

There are some personalized features such as: Patient Education Handouts, Pocket Consult for the PDA and My Folder, that do require Username and Password. Simply click on the link called "Click for Personal Login", found in the upper right of the MDConsult homepage to get your personal Username and Password. For those of you who already have a Username and Password, it will still work with the new system.

Collection Development

The Medical library has increased:

20 more book titles in STATRef.
2 more simultaneous users on MDConsult.
65 new full-text journals in Ovid.

These are all available through Medical library's website.

We would like to request our faculty, staff, and students send us recommendations of print or electronic materials. Whether the library can honor all recommendations will depend on the budget and other selection criteria, but your input is important to our collection development process. Please contact the chief librarian.


	*Welcome* NYCOM Medical Library's staff are delighted to welcome you back to the campus and also welcome the student class of 2009. We express our commitment to the academic excellence of our school not only to maintain it, but to move us to greater accomplishments. We encourage you to visit the Medical Library's website for the services available. We also welcome our new faculty members and invite you to visit us at NYCOM I- Rockefeller Building.
	*What's New in Ovid* This summer, Ovid Technologies implemented a new interface. You will notice more color and graphics. While the databases function the same, the new look is offering three new features to get to article citations quickly. The new methods of searching literature including: *Find Citation: Located above the search box on the main search page, allows you to link easily to a Medline citation when you have an incomplete citation, such as an author name and page number. Find Similar: After you have run a search, this link appears below each citation on the results list. It functions like PubMed Related Articles. By clicking on it, you can search for related articles using an algorithm based in part on keywords rather than in subject headings. The most relevant citations will display first. Find Citing Articles: Clicking on this link takes you to articles available through Journals @Ovid. These journals only go back to 1993, and are mostly clinical journals. We hope that you find the new interface easier and more powerful in its functionality. If you need any help, please call the Circulation Desk at 686-3743. Linscott's Directory of Immunological and Biological Reagents* is now available online free of charge for all users. It provides unlimited free use of the entire Directory to more than 110,000 listings of sources for antibodies, cytokines, immunoassay kits, recombinant proteins, enzymes, microbial antigens, tissues, organs, lab animals, contract services and many other items of interest to the biomedical researchers, with direct link to supplier web pages and phone/fax/address details as well. Just click on Linscottsdirectory. The Medical library has provided a free trial of the R2Library, a single interface that is owned and operated by Rittenhouse Book Distributors Inc. It's offering content from key health sciences publishers in the fields of medicine, nursing and allied health. For a complete listing of titles by publisher click on the R2Library on NYCOM library webpage.
