It's important to remember the individual faculty members who impacted our graduates here at NYCOM, and the fact that their instruction will continue to shape our graduates' life and career.

Link Out

NYCOM Medical Library is participating in LinkOut, a feature of Entrez that provides the ability to link our users from a PubMed citation directly to the full-text of an article. In order to use this feature within PubMed:

1. Go to the Library's website, click on Medical Databases, Go to PubMed.
2. Enter your search in the query box
3. Click on the desired citation
4. The citation will appear with the NYCOM icon if the journal is available either in print or full text.

Did You Know

PubMed/MEDLINE via PICO(which stands for Patient/Problem, Intervention, Compared to, and Outcome) is a concept used for structuring questions to locate information. PubMed/Medline via PICO is a PubMed interface, designed for use on handheld devices (PDAs), although it can be used on a personal computer.

The National Library of Medicine is eager to find health professionals who can try this product using a wireless handheld. The evaluation involves using the interface to run searches and providing feedback. Feedback is submitted using a Web-based form. If you are interested, please send an email to: Jeanne Strausman .
