Change to document delivery fees

Posted on by Heather Brown

Beginning October 1, 2013, articles or book chapters in the library’s print collection will now be free to faculty and staff and no longer count towards the 50 free requests for students. These changes are being made in order to make the library’s print collection more accessible. Currently, the cost to have the library scan an article from the print collection is $3. For students, this service is included in their 50 free requests per year. Please continue to make these requests through the McGoogan Docs system.

These requests are processed Monday through Friday and will be delivered to you on the same or next business day. This free service is available to the faculty, staff, and students of UNMC, The Nebraska Medical Center, Bellevue Medical Center, and Children’s Hospital.

Staff at The Nebraska Medical Center, Bellevue Medical Center, and Children’s Hospital will also no longer be charged for articles in the library’s electronic journal collection. However, delivery of articles may still vary, due to licensing terms.

8th floor computer cluster closing

Posted on by Heather Brown

The computer cluster on the eighth floor of the library will close on September 30th. It will be converted into the temporary home of a developing UNMC Center for e-Learning.  Here faculty and their collaborators (including interested students) will be provided with the tools necessary to begin creating new e-Learning materials.

The computer cluster on the 6th floor will remain. Five computers will be added to the cluster, making for 11 workstations.  The additional computers will be added in the next few weeks. In addition to these 11 computers, the library also has 16 public computers that can be used by faculty, staff and students for a total of 27 computers on the 6th Floor. Note: These 16 computers are connected to a printer, but if you print, there is a charge.

All other campus computer clusters will continue to be available.

Lexicomp To Replace MICROMEDEX

Posted on by Ann Kaste

Due to high subscription costs and The Nebraska Medical Center’s decision to move to Lexicomp, the library is cancelling its subscription to MICROMEDEX effective January 1 2014.   Lexicomp’s desktop version  will replace MICROMEDEX and is already available on the library home page under QuickLinks-Drug Resources.    The library will offer both resources concurrently for the rest of the year to make the transition smooth and seamless.

The library will offer Lexicomp training to anyone interested this fall.   Information on training will be forthcoming!

New Video-Based Resource Subscriptions: Acland Anatomy, JoVE Neuroscience

Posted on by Ann Kaste

Due to high demand, the library has added two new video resources to the collection just in time for the start of the school year.

ACLAND ANATOMY

This video atlas was originally intended to be used by individual medical and dental students. Because of its realism, simple language, and three-dimensional quality, the Video Atlas has become popular with students and teachers in many other fields and also with people not on a professional learning path who are looking for information about human anatomy.

JoVE NEUROSCIENCE

Part of the JoVE video journal suite, JoVE Neuroscience includes techniques from a wide variety of fields, focusing on those intended to lend insight into the structure, function, physiology and pathophysiology of the central and peripheral nervous systems.
