SciFinder Scholar now mobile

Posted by on April 8th, 2011

SciFinder Scholar, a database that searches Chemical Abstracts and MEDLINE simultaneously, now has a site optimized for mobile devices. SciFinder has always required registration, so if you already have a username and password, it will work for the mobile site. If you don’t and would like to search SciFinder, either from a desktop computer or mobile device, please register.

You can access the mobile site, but only from a mobile device, at https://scifinder.cas.org/mobile or simply scan this QR Code from your phone. A link to this resource is also included on the resource page of the library’s mobile website.

Check study room availability on-the-go

Posted by on January 3rd, 2011

Not in the library, but want to know if a study room is available? Now you can check availability through the library’s mobile website.

The site takes you to a live listing of study room keys in our catalog. If a study room is available, it will be indicated as “Available” in the Call# column.

Please note that there is no guarantee of availability or access to a specific room. This page is live and a room may not be available by the time you arrive in the library and “due date” times may not indicate future availability, as rooms can be renewed.

Rooms are only available to UNMC faculty, students, and staff.

eMedicine access changes and new mobile app

Posted by on December 28th, 2010

Access to eMedicine has changed. eMedicine had previously been available free to the individual who registers, but libraries and institutions had been able to link seamlessly to the resource without user registration. Now, eMedicine content will be merged with Medscape, which also includes news and drug information. The seamless institutional access is now no longer available. To access eMedicine, one must create a personal username and password, which is free. If you previously had an account for CME purposes, it should still be valid.

A free mobile version of this resource is also available through iPhone and Blackberry apps. An Android app is in development.
