Galter Library's Online Resources Update: October 2009

The Galter Health Sciences Library has recently added new online titles to the Books@Ovid, MDConsult, and Springer suites, and has activated a new journal.

NEW EDITIONS (Books@Ovid)

• Infectious Diseases of the Female Genital Tract (5th ed.)
• Only EKG book you'll ever need (6th ed.)

NEW BOOKS (MDConsult)

• Andrews’ diseases of the skin : clinical dermatology
• Comprehensive dermatologic drug therapy
• Creasy and Resnik’s maternal-fetal medicine
• Dermatology
• Infectious diseases of the fetus and newborn infant

These newly added titles, like those in the MDConsult Core Collection, are subscriptions, so the new editions become accessible seamlessly as they are released. Examples of new editions in the MDConsult Core Collection include:

• Clinical procedures in emergency medicine
• Robbins and Cotran Pathologic basis of disease

When you search for e-books on the website or in the catalog, remember that you are searching by broad subject area or title; searches inside the books are not yet possible on our website. Users should also be aware that the online book collection is a very small subset of the entire book collection at Northwestern University libraries, so always check Northwestern University libraries’ online catalog NUcat for additional books.

NEW JOURNAL (Springer)

New title added to the existing Northwestern University libraries' cooperatively licensed suite:

Current cardiology reports

NEWLY LAUNCHED JOURNAL

The Galter Health Sciences Library has activated complementary access to Science translational medicine, a new journal launched in October by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) The library will subscribe to this journal in 2010, but users can access all available content now. Philip Greenland, M.D., Senior Associate Dean, Clinical and Translational Research, Feinberg School of Medicine, is on the journal's Scientific Advisory Board.

Because this journal is new and not yet approved by the National Library of Medicine for inclusion in MEDLINE, it won't show up in PubMed or Ovid MEDLINE searches for a while. Until it is included in MEDLINE, users can browse the journal site for articles of interest and sign up for RSS feeds and other current awareness mechanisms available on the site.

Library Notes will highlight more online information resources at the beginning of the 2010 calendar year when newly added journal subscriptions are activated.
