ClinicalKey to Replace MD Consult
Pat Thibodeau, Associate Dean for Library Services & Archives
MD Consult has been a key resource for e-books and other information for many years. But over the years, Elsevier has been looking at other approaches to bring together expanded information that would be useful for clinicians as well as learners.
ClinicalKey, Elsevier's latest product, will replace MD Consult in October. It brings together a very large number of e-books, along with journals, Procedures Consult, First Consult, surgical Vitals and other useful clinical information.
This is what you will see when ClinicalKey goes live in October!
- Single search interface across resources!
- 1,000 e-books in medicine and surgery
- Procedures Consult
- Videos as well as text
- 312 ACGME required procedures
- 5 specialties (Internal and Emergency Medicine, Orthopedics, Anesthesiology, Family Medicine, and General Surgery)- First Consult
- Over 750 point-of-care clinical monographs that assist with complex cases in in 37 specialty areas- Vitals
- More than 450 point-of-care resources for surgery- 13,000 surgical and medical videos and over 5 million images
- ClinicalTrials.gov database listings
- 4,000 practice guidelines
- 500 medical and surgical journals published by Elsevier
In addition to these resources, you will still have access to drug information from Gold Standard (2,900 monographs), patient care handouts, and MEDLINE abstracts.
We hope you find that this expanded access to e-books and other clinical resources supports your work and learning at Duke!
New Engel Books
Emma Cryer, Associate Director, Collection Services
These books are part of the Library’s special collection established in memory of Dr. Frank Engel, who always thought students should have other reading sources that took them beyond their medical studies. These reviews are excerpted from Amazon.com.

What Doctors Feel: How Emotions Affect the Practice of Medicine
Danielle Ofri
Physicians are assumed to be objective, rational beings, easily able to detach as they guide patients and families through some of life’s most challenging moments. But doctors’ emotional responses to life-and-death dramas of everyday practice have a profound impact on medical care. In What Doctors Feel, Dr. Danielle Ofri takes on the task of dissecting the hidden emotional responses of doctors and how they directly influence patients.
The Lady and Her Monsters: A Tale of Dissections, Real-Life Dr. Frankensteins, and the Creation of Mary Shelley's Masterpiece

• Alerts to keep you up-to-date on new articles matching your search query or those by your favorite author
How is Scopus different from PubMed (Medline) or Web of Science?
Scopus covers all of the journals in PubMed (Medline) plus numerous additional titles. Like Web of Science, Scopus provides information about cited and citing articles and is interdisciplinary covering medicine, chemistry, physics, mathematics, engineering, social science, psychology, economics, and biological, agricultural, and environmental sciences.
However, Scopus does contain more content than Web of Science and has a noticeable European bias. Scopus provides information on all articles in Scopus that have cited an article. For articles published from 1996 to the present, Scopus provides a list of articles cited in the bibliographies of each article. Both citation lists allow users to link immediately to related research published prior to and after a particular article.
For more details, connect to the Scopus Website.
Please join us on October 16, 2013 for a Scopus Training Session with Elsevier!

Open Access Week: October 21- 27
International Open Access Week will be celebrated Oct. 21 – 27, 2013!
Why Open Access (OA)?
Open Access contributes to new discoveries, collaborations, and partnerships, without the usual obstacles or cost of traditional published literature.
OA publications ensure that information is readily available to:
• Students at all levels of learning
• Faculty involved in teaching and scholarly research (regardless of location)
• Health care professionals in rural or underserved communities
• Colleagues in global settings that have limited access to libraries and information resources
• Patients and the general public
Here are some important reminders about your role in Open Access at Duke
- Fully participate in Duke’s OA Policy (2010) - Each faculty member grants the University permission to make scholarly articles available through a public repository (database) of manuscripts, fulfilling the Faculty of Duke University’s commitment to disseminating its research and scholarship.
- Deposit your manuscripts into DukeSpace to support the policy above and ensure that your students and colleagues have access to your work!
- Apply for Duke’s COPE funds when choosing an Open Access journal!
- Select an Open Access journal in the future. Use the Directory of Open Access Journals to find a title in your field and check on OA policies, or call the Medical Center Library & Archives (919.660.1100) for advice.
- Talk to colleagues about the importance of OA publications! Visit the OA Week Website for talking points and resources.
For more information about OA, connect to our guide on Open Access and Scholarly Communications @ Duke.

Trent Room: Historical Treasure Being Renamed
Pat Thibodeau, Associate Dean for Library Services & Archives
The Trent Room has been part of Duke Medical Center and the Medical Center Library for over 50 years. This room was donated by Mary Duke Biddle Trent Semans and Karl Bock in 1956 to house the rich and valuable works in the Josiah C. Trent, MD, History of Medicine Collection. However, the room itself is much older! It was a 1720 period room from the Richmond House in Plaistow England, which was once the seat of the Duke of Richmond. The room was brought piece by piece to Durham and reassembled at Duke.
Initially installed in the Duke Hospital Library on the ground level of the Davison building, it was a quiet research and study area for students and faculty. When the Seeley G. Mudd building was opened in 1975, the room was taken apart and reconstructed on the Lower Level of the Library (now Level 1). It continued to be a strong tie to the Duke, Trent, and Semans families, showcasing the Trent collection and many rare artifacts that were part of the History of Medicine Collections. In 2011, the collections and artifacts moved to the Rubenstein Rare Books & Manuscript Library on main campus, but the Trent Room remained behind.
While the physical room will not travel to a new location, it will get a new name that reflects its origins: The Richmond House Room. The name change will become official as of January 1, 2014. In addition to housing medical artifacts from the Medical Center Library & Archives collections, The Richmond House Room will be available for meetings and studying.
A new Trent Room has been planned as part of the renovations of the special collections area in the Perkins Library. The Rubenstein Library will be constructing a new space for the Trent Room to continue to house selections from the Trent Collection.
As we say farewell to the Trent Room name, we honor the important history of the Trent Room to Duke Medicine and Duke University, as well as it connections to the Trent and Semans families, who still cherish the room. Watch for more information about the room and its history on our Website, blog, and special guide to our Medical History and Special Collections.

Writing an NIH Funded Article?
Pat Thibodeau, Associate Dean for Library Services & Archives
If you are getting ready to submit a journal article funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), you may want to consider these tips.
NIH Public Access Policy Requirements
- All manuscripts must be submitted for journal articles accepted for publication from an NIH award or contract
- Peer-reviewed and edited versions of manuscripts must be deposited by the author, co-author or PI
- Manuscript submission and compliance MUST be completed within 3 months of the publication date
- Manuscripts must become available to the public within 12 months (the longest period that a journal can require that the manuscript not be available)
Selecting a journal? Investigate these issues...
- Does the journal allow compliance with the NIH policy?
Read through the agreement and make sure the journal allows this. If it's not clear, demand they allow it.
- Some publishers have a separate addendum or document to request permission to submit this.
- Will the journal submit the manuscript to NIH for you?
- Check to see if there is a fee to submit the final published version. The journal usually submits immediately for a fee, ensuring you are compliant.
- You do NOT have to pay a fee unless you want to. You can still choose to submit it yourself and avoid any fees.
- If there is no fee, be sure the publisher will submit to NIH in a timely manner to be compliant (at least within 3 months after the publication date)
- If you're not sure the deposit will be within 3 months of publication, you may want to submit your version. If submitted later, the publisher’s version will always replace the author’s manuscript.
- Will the journal notify you when the article is submitted to NIH?
- Will they send you the interim NIHMID number, which shows you are trying to be compliant?
Journal Submission Methods
- Journals that automatically submit the published article (Method A)
http://publicaccess.nih.gov/submit_process_journals.htm
- Easy option, but limited number of journals
- Journals that you can ask to submit the final published article BUT usually for a fee (Method B)
http://publicaccess.nih.gov/select_deposit_publishers.htm#b
- Longer list but can be expensive, costing up to $3,500 for the service
- Journals that submit a manuscript that you have to approve (Method D)
http://publicaccess.nih.gov/select_deposit_publishers.htm# OR check the publishers Website
- If open access, you may find the journal and its policy listed at www.doaj.org
- If you do use one of the options above, you must deposit the final peer-reviewed manuscript in PubMed Central yourself via the NIH Manuscript Submission System (Method C)

Imitation and Innovation: A Brief History of 'Me-Too' Drugs
12:00-1:00 pm; Trent Semans Center - Great Hall
Trent History of Medicine Lecture
The Materiality of the Brand: Form, Function, and the Pharmaceutical Trademark
5:30 pm; Perkins Library - Room 217
Reception will follow the lecture
Dr. Jeremy Greene is Associate Professor, Elizabeth Treide and A. McGehee Harvey Chair in the History of Medicine at the Johns Hopkins University’s Institute for the History of Medicine. His broader research interests focus on the history of disease, the history of global health, and the relationship between medicine and the marketplace. Dr. Greene also practices internal medicine at the East Baltimore Medical Center and the Johns Hopkins University Hospital. He has published on a wide variety of topics and his most recent book with Elizabeth Siegel Watkins is titled, Prescribed: Writing, Filling, Using, and Abusing the Prescription in Modern America, Johns Hopkins University Press, 2012.
Dr. Greene’s talk on the "The Materiality of the Brand" will explore the limits of patents and trademarks in the sphere of pharmaceutical intellectual property, and illuminate a century of controversy over the clinical, public health, and financial value of “look-alike drugs,” generic drugs that imitated their brand-name counterparts down to exact parameters of size, shape, and color. His historical analysis addresses thorny questions about which qualities of a brand-name drug are considered private property and whether parts of a drug other than its active ingredients (e.g., pill color) can affect its clinical function.A reception will follow the lecture.
Sponsored by the History of Medicine Collections, the John W. Hartman Center for Sales, Advertising & Marketing History, and the Trent Center for Bioethics, Humanities & History of Medicine.

Farewell to Dawne Lucas
Jolie Braun, Assistant Director and Archives Librarian for Research, Outreach & Education
In September, the Library bid farewell to Dawne Lucas, Head of Technical Services for the Medical Center Archives. Dawne joined the Medical Center Library & Archives staff in January 2007. Before coming to Duke, she had worked as a Library Associate at North Carolina State University’s Special Collections Research Center and as a Research Assistant at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill’s Southern Historical Collection. She received an MSLS from UNC-Chapel Hill and an MA in public history from NCSU.
During her 6½ years at the Archives, Dawne oversaw the growth and development of the Archives' technical services. Her duties included processing and cataloging materials, working with donors and departments to accession new materials, and training and supervising interns. One of her major accomplishments was implementing a new collection management system and patron registration database for the Archives, which made collections more discoverable and allowed staff to improve their ability to track researchers’ needs. Dawne organized the Archives’ collection of over 200 oral histories and and made it more accessible. She also made the architectural records collection available by creating an inventory and rehousing materials, and most recently, helped manage the migration of images and metadata to the Archives’ new version of MEDSpace, its digital image database.
While she oversaw many changes at the Archives, Dawne feels that her colleagues have seen her through important events in her own life as well, including getting married and having her daughter. When asked what she will miss most about the Library, Dawne cited coworkers, donors, and DUMC staff that she worked closely with over the years.
In October, Dawne will begin her new position as Special Collections Librarian at UNC-Chapel Hill’s Health Sciences Library. We wish her the best of luck as she embarks on this exciting new stage of her career.
