Laptops In The NYCOM Library
Because of the introduction of a wireless environment on the NYIT campus, the NYCOM library is now able to offer rentals of laptops in the library. In order to rent a laptop, you must be a registered library user and present a college ID, which we will hold until the laptop is returned. Laptops can be checked out for 3 hours and can only be used in the library. For further information, contact the Circulation Desk.Sage Sayings of Dr. Andrew Taylor Still

Evidence-Based Medicine Database Review
Medical decision making requires increasing skills in communication, information retrieval, and formulating and answering focused clinical questions. In this issue we have decided to inform our audience to the EBM databases available through the Medical Library Website and also recommend other valid resources on this subject.
This current awareness tool aims to distill only the most relevant evidence-based information - a POEM is 'Patient-Oriented Evidence that Matters'. For Online Access, click on ACCESS InfoRetriever on InfoPOEMs home page.
