The library had previously been able to offer First Consult through two platforms. Now with the original platform discontinuing, First Consult will now only be available via Clinical Key. Please note that the Clinical Key version of First Consult does not include the original differential diagnosis tool. As an alternative, try the DDx tool in AccessMedicine under the Quick Reference tab.
The First Consult app will still be available and accessible via a free Clinical Key personal account.

Since its inception, Scopus has tracked the citations of articles written in 1996 and after. Thus, articles written before 1996 were not included in one’s h-index. That is now changing. Earlier in the year, Scopus began to add cited references starting in 1970. This is a multi-year project, but changes are already apparent.
In November, Scopus began to include this new content. Now with more pre-1996 cited references, the h-index of authors who published before 1996 have the potential to increase. As more of this content is added, these h-index counts will only become more reflective of the authors work.
Check your h-index by searching your name in the Author search in Scopus. If you have questions, please contact the AskUs Desk at 402-559-6221 or askus@unmc.edu.
The library will modify its hours for winter break starting December 19 and ending January 4. Included in these changes are closures for the holidays.
