The construction chaos around the Medical Center Library and Mudd building will begin to disappear in November.

• SOM will begin moving into the Mary Duke Biddle Trent Semans Center for Health Education
• The plaza that ties the Mudd building to the Hospital, Cancer Center, and Trent Semans Center will open
• The concourse on the main level of the Hospital will be open all the way to the clinic buildings providing shorter  and more direct routes to the Library
• Landscaping will be put in place around the buildings
• HAFS and Searle Drives will be graded and paved

There will still be some construction as contractors finish the Duke Medicine Pavilion and the dietary expansion behind the old hospital building.

You will see a lot of changes in November, but a lot less mess and noise, and a much easier route to the Library!

The Duke Medical Center Library & Archives is excited to announce a donation by Dr. Gordon K. Klintworth and his wife, Felicity T. Klintworth, of a collection of medical classics.

This collection of reproductions of rare and historical medical books includes such titles as De Curtorum Chirurgia per Insitionem by Gaspare Tagliacossi, first published in 1597, and Illustrations of the Great Operations of Surgery by Charles Bell, published in 1821.  Hans Biedermann's Medicina Magica contains beautiful color facsimile plates from late-antique and medieval manuscripts.  There are also contemporary works by Sir William Osler and Baron Joseph Lister.  Many of these works are obscure and difficult to find, but this collection is readily accessible and contributes significantly to the study of the history of medicine.

Originally from South Africa, Dr. Klintworth has been with Duke for more than 48 years and is a respected leader and expert in the field of eye pathology research.  He has had a long-term interest in the history of medicine, serving as a speaker for the Trent History of Medicine Society Lectures and as a donor to the collection.  This series of medical classics, which Dr. Klintworth has been collecting for years, is a major gift to the Library and a significant resource for other scholars.

Finding Full-text with EndNote

Virginia Carden, Administrative Research Librarian

Want to find the full-text for the citations in your EndNote libraries?  A new EndNote feature can be used to find the full text versions of the articles and store them within the Library for you.  It's easy to use and does a fairly good job.

When you have selected the citations that you want to find, choose the “Find Full Text” feature.  You will need to go to Preferences and change them for this feature so that it uses "PubMed Linkout" and the "Open URL Path" (http://getitatduke.library.duke.edu), which will try to link you to the full text at Duke.  Once you start the feature, you will need to agree to the copyright statement, but then EndNote will attempt to find a PDF.  If a PDF version is not available, it will often retrieve the URL to an article available in HTML.  

When the article is found, a paperclip icon appears next to the EndNote record and a copy of the PDF is stored in your EndNote Library.DATA folder.  If only a Web version is available, EndNote adds the URL to the record.  A summary will be provided by EndNote of the results – how many articles it searched for, how many PDFs or URLs were found, and how many could not be found.  It will also find the (free) authors’ manuscripts of NIH funded research available in PubMed Central.

In order to find journal articles that are available through the Duke libraries, you must be on a computer connected to the Duke network or connect from off-campus using the Duke University Web-based VPN or the Duke Medicine Web-based VPN. Please note: You cannot do this through the Virtual PIN. 

While this feature works quite well, it is not perfect and will probably not find everything.  Here are some reasons why the search may not find an article:

• Article is too old to have a PDF available
• Article is too new and the PDF is not yet available
• Journal has embargoed current articles so EndNote cannot get to it
• Duke does not have a subscription to the journal and there is no free access
• Too many users are already in a journal with limited access
• Publisher's Website does not support or allow this capability
• Article is buried in a large full-text database that does not allow individual articles to be found
• Journal handles letters, editorials, and correspondence differently, making it difficult to find a citation

Already have a PDF?  You can manually link the PDF file you have stored by dragging it to the EndNote record.  If this is successful, a paperclip will appear again, and EndNote will store another copy of the PDF in the EndNote library folder.  If you don’t need two copies on your computer, just delete the file from the location where you initially stored it.

Matt Shangler, Assistant Archivist, Medical Center Archives

Eighty-two years ago this October, the School of Medicine welcomed its first class of students.  There were 30 first year students and 18 third year students.  Each of the third year students began their studies at other institutions before transferring to Duke. 

All 18 third year students finished their studies in 1932, becoming the first graduating class of the School of Medicine, while the 30 first year students graduated in 1934.  Since then, there have been upwards of 6,400 graduates from the School of Medicine. 

Perhaps the most notable member of the first class was Jay M. Arena (1st person on the left, bottom row). Dr. Arena worked at Duke for 42 years.  During that time, his work led to the first child-proof safety cap and the creation of Duke’s Poison Control Center in 1953.  Arena was the Director of the Center until his retirement in 1979.

Occasionally, we receive this question at the Archives: Who of the first graduating class was first to graduate?  Lore has it that Jay Arena, though third alphabetically, was actually the first to receive his diploma.  The claim is that Dean Wilburt Davison advanced Arena his degree a few days early since graduation conflicted with the start date of his residency.  However, despite thorough searching, there is no evidence to corroborate this claim. 

For more information on the first graduating class or on Jay Arena, please contact Medical Center Archives at dumc.archives@mc.duke.edu or 919.383.2653.

Medical Center Archives was approached in the fall of 2011 by two Duke members of the American Osler Society about Duke University School of Medicine’s first Dean, Dr. Wilburt Cornell Davison (highlighted above on the left), and his connection to Sir William Osler (highlighted above on the right). Drs. Conrad Fulkerson and Frank Neelon were hoping to pull together enough historical material to create a short documentary, which they intended to show during the annual Osler Society meeting held jointly at Duke University and UNC-Chapel Hill in the spring of 2012.

With the help of the DUMC Archives’ staff and Rachel Ingold, Duke’s Curator for the History of Medicine Collections, their hopes were realized. Together we tracked down documents, photographs, ephemera, and books and digitized dozens of items from our collections, including documents, photographs, film, and audio recordings. 

In the course of our search for Osler related materials, we came across a catalog entry for a 20th-century scrapbook containing letters from Sir William Osler (and his wife, Lady Grace Osler) to Dr. Davison. Sir William, considered the father of modern medicine, served as a mentor to Dr. Davison during his student years at Oxford (1913-1916). After locating and reviewing the scrapbook, which was in a state of disrepair, it was decided that the materials contained within were of such significant historical importance, that they should be assessed by a professional conservator.

We visited Etherington Conservation Services, a high-quality conservation laboratory located in Browns Summit, North Carolina, to have their paper conservator review the scrapbook and give us an estimate for the conservation work needed, as well as for the creation of digital and print surrogate copies.  However, we found that the funds needed to carry out the conservation work were outside the scope of our budget. With the help of our researchers, we applied for and received a grant from the Josiah C. Trent Memorial Foundation, Inc., and that, along with a generous donation from Dr. Fulkerson, allowed us to move forward with the conservation and digitization work.

The newly rehoused, deacidified and repaired scrapbook was recently on display in the Medical Center Library & Archives as part of the exhibit, “What Does Your Doctor Know?”  To view the digitized scrapbook, please visit our online exhibit. To view the original documents, contact the Medical Center Archives.

The researchers completed their documentary in time for the Osler Society Annual Meeting, and the body of visiting members was present for the special showing.  This documentary is now available on our iTunesU site.

"Altmetrics and the Decoupled Journal"

Jason Priem 

An exciting keynote talk is lined up for Open Access Week this year (October 22-28), and you're invited to attend. Jason Priem, a doctoral student at UNC-SILS and pioneer of the idea of "altmetrics" (alternative ways of tracking the impact of scholarly work), will be speaking about how open access and new measuring and filtering tools are changing scholarly publishing.

"As the movement toward universal open access (OA) gathers momentum, the most salient OA questions are changing from "if" and even "when," to "what will an OA world look like?" Is open access an incremental improvement, or will it lead to fundamental shifts in the way scholarship is communicated, filtered, and disseminated? In this talk, I'll argue that the latter is the case: new ways of measuring scholarly impact on the social Web -- "altmetrics" -- will allow real-time, crowdsourced filtering of diverse scholarly products, leading to a new landscape of interoperable services that replace traditional journals. I'll also demonstrate ImpactStory, an open-source tool for gathering altmetrics, and show how it can be used to promote OA, open data, and open source to faculty."  Jason Priem
