Pat Thibodeau, Associate Dean for Library Services & Archives

This is always a great time of the year as we welcome residents, students, faculty and staff to the start of a new academic year!  In addition to new faces, we get to introduce and reintroduce our community to resources and services, letting you know that our Library & Archives can assist you with educational activities, research projects, administrative questions, and patient care information.

Through the Duke University Health System, you now have access to some wonderful decision support tools:
• UpToDate - diagnosis and treatment; patient handouts
• Lexicomp - drug information
• ExitCare - patient instructions and education
• Micromedex - poisoning and drugs

A mobile version of UpToDate ("UpToDate Anywhere") is now available as well! On August 6th and 7th, UpToDate reps will be on campus to provide information and assistance with registration.  Visit our blog for specific times and locations. For instructions on how to register on your own, see our related article in this issue. Medical Center Library & Archives staff are also available to assist you at the Service Desk (Level 2R), Monday - Friday,  9:00 am - 5:00 pm.

BioMedSearcher has been launched for our research community and provides a single interface for searching across our major scientific databases.  It is a great way to get started with a research question or to identify which resources have the most relevant information on a topic.  Give it a try and let us know if it works for you. It is still being tested!

E-books have been growing in number, but we will be making major changes this year as a result of evaluating content and platforms.  MD Consult will no longer be available effective September 30th, as it is being discontinued by Elsevier.  Most of the content that MD Consult offered is already available at Duke through UpToDate (clinical care), Lexicomp (drug information), ScienceDirect (journals), and ExitCare (patient handouts). We are transitioning the remaining content (e-books) to other platforms, making the transition as seamless as possible for our users.

Our facility continues to be redefined as the Duke Medicine Pavilion, Cancer Center, and Trent Semans Center buildings have opened.  We are busier than ever and at peak hours, our carrels are full.  We have obtained approval to expand our existing cluster of carrels on Level 2R and add some new workstations on Level 3 for individual or small group study.  Twenty-four hour access with a Duke Medicine ID badge has proved very popular as well, meeting the needs for those who like or require late night and early morning hours throughout the week.  We have additional plans for upgrading our wireless computer network this fall.

As you start your career or programs at Duke, don't hesitate to ask how our Library & Archives staff can help you.  Check out our Web pages for the Library and Archives, and tell us what you need to be successful at Duke!

Zotero (zoh-TAIR-oh) is a free citation management tool that conveniently “lives in” your Web browser, where you do the majority of your work and research. Most commonly, Zotero works as an add-on for the Firefox browser. However, there is a Zotero standalone version that is compatible with Safari and Chrome.

Zotero is easy to use and has many of the same functions as EndNote and RefWorks, as well as some unique features.
With Zotero, you can:

• Organize & manage references into searchable collections
• Insert citations as you write using the Zotero word-processing plug-in
• Create formatted bibliographies in many different styles
• Attach PDFs, notes and images to references
• Easily add citations directly from databases and Websites
• Get reference information for PDFs that you already have
• Attach searchable tags to citations

Zotero is available for download. For more information about using Zotero, step-by-step video tutorials are available.

Duke Medical Center Library & Archives staff are also available to provide training and answer questions about Zotero. Call 919.660.1100 and ask to speak to a librarian, or email us at medical-librarian@duke.edu.

This summer the Medical Center Archives unveiled the new version its digital repository, MEDSpace.

While the content of the database remains the same, the site has been redesigned with a new user interface and functionality to make it easier and faster to use. Because the new site was built entirely in-house by Russell Koonts, Director of Medical Archives & Digital Initiatives, and Michael Ravenel-Baker, Web & User Services Manager, the Medical Center Library & Archives will no longer need to rely on an outside vendor for technical support, as it did previously. In addition to being quicker and more user-friendly, the new version will also have improved catalog records, since Archives staff updated and corrected information, as needed, during the process of uploading images and entering metadata into the new site.

MEDSpace contains thousands of images and publications related to the history of Duke Medicine. Two highlights are Foundations of Excellence, a collection of over 600 photos documenting the first 30 years of Duke Medicine, and Historical Images in Medicine, a collection of 3,000 images of photographs, illustrations, bookplates, and engravings drawn from the Duke University’s History of Medicine Collections. Other materials include documents related to history of the Physician's Assistant Training Program, a full run of the Davison Society’s publication Shifting Dullness, scholarly literature pertaining to hyperbaric medicine, and publications of many departments throughout the medical campus.

To learn more about MEDSpace and view the Medical Center Archives’ collection of digitized historic images and documents, please visit http://medspace.mc.duke.edu.

Duke University Libraries is currently running a trial of BrowZine (think "browsing"), an app for iPads and Android tablets that enables you to browse, read, and monitor current journals in your subject areas.  BrowZine is compatible with Zotero, Dropbox, Evernote and other services (Mendeley and RefWorks coming soon!), allowing you to organize and manage your research seamlessly.  You may also save articles to your BrowZine pin board to read even when you don’t have Internet access.

Download BrowZine to your device by following these easy steps:

• From your iPad or Android device, download BrowZine from the App Store or Google Play, and install it
• When you open BrowZine for the first time, you will see a list of schools – select Duke, then enter your net ID and password
• Select subject areas and start browsing journals; save your favorites to your personal bookshelf 

BrowZine has relationships with many academic journal publishers, so you should see many of your favorite journals available for viewing back to 2005. Set up your bookshelf today and stay on top of the literature!

If you have any questions or don't see a particular journal, let us know!

Please Note: Effective January 1, 2016, BioMedSearcher has been replaced with SmartSearch, our new metasearch engine.

TRIP, the freely available evidence-based practice database that searches across resources, now allows you to customize your settings to more easily connect to full-text. You can sign in by creating a TRIP account or by logging in with either an existing Facebook or Twitter account.

To create links to check for Duke full text, sign in, click on settings, and then select Duke University from "Your Institutions." Right now, the links appear on journal article results but may not appear on systematic reviews or other evidence syntheses.

You will have to be signed in to see the links that check for full text, which say: Full Text - Duke University.

Also new in TRIP 

• Case Reports: BioMed Central's Cases Database has been added to the site
• Developing World Filter: Working with a slightly modified filter from a Norwegian Cochrane site, we have created a specific and sensitive filter to quickly and easily find evidence suitable for low and middle income countries.

Beverly Murphy, Assistant Director, Communications & Web Content Management

Need to print the full text of a journal article from your home or office? Or are you looking for the electronic version of a medical textbook? Perhaps you need an image to use in your presentation.  Or maybe you’re leaving Duke and need to know what resources are available for use in your private practice. 

Well, the Medical Center Library & Archives Website has it all! 

Quicklinks appear on most pages to take you to the most heavily used resources, while navigation across the top guides you to resources and services.  A quick and easy search widget is now located at the top of every page!  We also use collapsible options which allow you to see more specifically what you want to see, while giving a cleaner and more streamlined appearance for our pages.

The Medical Center Library & Archives is hosting a new exhibit, “The Henkel Physicians: A Family’s Life in Letters.” Produced by the National Library of Medicine (NLM), the exhibit traces the daily lives of a family of physicians in the Shenandoah Valley during the 19th century, serving in their community, on the battleground, and in the nation’s courts of law.

The Library has also collaborated with the David M. Rubenstein Rare Book & Manuscript Library on an exhibit to complement the NLM display. "From the Rubenstein Collections: Henkel Family Physicians" features rare books and manuscripts along with materials from the History of Medicine Collections. It includes letters written by the Henkels, books and broadsides published by the Henkel Press, and 19th century medical instruments and artifacts.

The NLM Exhibit will be on display through August 24th on Level 3 of the Medical Center Library & Archives. The Medical Center Library and Rubenstein collaboration will be available through October on Level 1.

To learn more about the Henkel family and 19th century medicine, visit NLM's digital companion to the exhibit. To learn more about the Rubenstein Library and its collections, visit their Website.
