Pat Thibodeau, Associate Dean for Library Services & Archives

As the Medical Center Library & Archives welcomes you to Duke and another academic year, we are implementing two very special projects, as well as continuing our strong suite of services and resources. Please visit the Library facility, located on Levels 1-3 of the Mudd building, as well as our Website, which has links to hundreds of health-related resources and services.

Get to know us!
Our librarians are ready to assist you with in-depth consultations about your information and training needs, as well as quick reference questions and orientations. Staff are easy to reach through chat, email, phone or in-person.  

Clinical Tools integrated into Maestro Care
Our first BIG project to be launched by August is the integration of clinical resources into Maestro Care, the DUHS electronic medical record system. You will soon be able to link to our Clinical Tools where a single search looks for relevant information across major electronic resources, as well as links to evidence-based information. Within Maestro Care, right-clicking on a condition or drug will launch the Clinical Tools searcher to retrieve choices of information sources that can support patient care and learning.

Expanded and Enhanced Level 3 Study Area
The Library has become a more popular place, and to accommodate the increased demand for study spaces, we are renovating Level 3. The journals have been moved to the Library Service Center, the stacks have been taken down, and new furniture, including individual carrels, will be added to Level 3. It may be a little noisy and messy until we complete this work in mid-September, but the result will be worth it. Access to all our stored journals will still be freely available by requesting scanned copies of articles through our Document Delivery/Interlibrary Loan Services.

Subject Guides For Essential Resources 
In addition to librarians guiding you to great information resources, a series of subject guides has been created which is continuously updated and revised to meet your needs. LibGuides are available for learners, faculty, authors, nurses, researchers, and by discipline, as well as those focusing on specialty areas and some of our services.

Our “Tools for Biomedical Researchers” guide now has a feature identifying library services and resources available to you over the research lifecycle.  Find out how we can support your research from the beginning steps of developing a research project to its completion and publication of research results.

And be sure to explore BioMedSearcher, the companion to our Clinical Tools search, that pulls information from more research oriented databases and resources.

Explore, ask, suggest! We are here to support you as a learner, educator, researcher, health care provider, administrator, and even health care consumer! Let us know how we can serve you!

What are Library Liaisons?
In order to better serve Duke University and the Health System, librarians at the Medical Center Library & Archives have been assigned to work with specific departments or groups.

What can Library Liaisons do?
 • Guest lecture in your class or journal club
 • Integrate evidence-based practice and information literacy into your course or curriculum
 • Collaborate on systematic reviews of the literature and grant preparation
 • Consult on literature search strategies and resource selection

Who is my Library Liaison?

Did you know that Archives staff are available at the Medical Center Library to work with patrons? Even if you’re unable to make it to our off-campus facility on Christian Avenue, you can still learn about our resources and services.

Stop by our office in the Library (M-F; 9:00a-4:00p; Room 103G) to get help with your historical research and (with advance notice!) work with archival materials. To learn more, contact us at dumcarch@duke.edu.

The Duke Medical Center Library & Archives and the Office of Animal Welfare Assurance (OAWA) are excited to bring you the following training opportunity.

Meeting the Information Requirements of the Animal Welfare Act
Presented by the USDA, NAL, Animal Welfare Information Center (AWIC)

The regulations of the Animal Welfare Act (AWA) require that investigators provide the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committees (IACUC) with documentation demonstrating that alternatives to procedures that may cause more than momentary pain or distress to the animals have been considered and that activities do not unnecessarily duplicate previous experiments. A thorough literature search regarding alternatives meets this Federal mandate and investigators must provide a written narrative description of the methods and sources used to determine alternatives were not available. Facilitated by AWIC staff, this workshop will provide participants with an opportunity to review the Animal Welfare Act and other regulations, discuss the definition and examples of alternatives, and complete hands-on literature search exercises.

This 2-part workshop includes a 2 hour lecture and a 1.5 hour hands-on training. We recommend attending both the lecture and a hands-on session. Registration is required.

One Lecture Session will be offered:

Tuesday September 16th
10:00a–12:00p
Hock Plaza Auditorium, Room 0001
Registration

Some journals are requiring that authors obtain a written waiver to Duke’s Open Access Policy, which requires that authors retain the rights to the article, including depositing the “final author’s version of the article” in the university repository.  Some journals object to having a copy deposited in the Duke repository, while others just want an assurance that the copy at Duke will not become public for a number of months after it is officially published. 

The Provost’s designee Kevin Smith (kevin.l.smith@duke.edu, 919.668.4451) can work with you on obtaining a waiver to the policy or ensuring that access to the copy you submit to Duke is delayed for the required number of months. 

A copy of Duke’s Open Access policy can be found on page 44 of the Duke Faculty Handbook with additional information and guidance on the Duke University Libraries Website.

The Open Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCID) enables you to clearly identify your publications, distinguishing your works from other people with similar names.  Duke is making it even easier to obtain an ORCID ID. 

• Register or link to your ORCID ID through the OIT Account Self-Service Portal
• Select “MANAGE DIRECTORY LISTINGS” 
• Select “Register your ORCID iD” or CREATE one!
• Authorize ORCID to share your ID with Duke! 

Your ORCID ID is now part of your Duke Directory listing and Scholars@Duke information!  At the ORCID site, you can also search for and identify the publications that are yours!  

Jolie Braun, Assistant Director and Archives Librarian for Research, Outreach & Education

Medical Center Archives is happy to announce that we have added more historic photographs to MEDSpace. Over two dozen images from the 1940’s to the 1980’s have been uploaded to the digital repository.  Included are portraits of key faculty and staff, images of the 65th General Hospital, photos of nursing students, and operating room images.

The new additions can be viewed by scrolling down to the bottom of the MEDSpace homepage and clicking the “Recent Additions” tab on the far right. While some people in these images have been identified, others have not. You can help us identify individuals by visiting our Demystify Our Images project.

To view all of our digitized historic images, please visit the Foundations of Excellence digital collection, which is comprised of nearly 700 images documenting the history of Duke Medicine.

Emily Mazure, Biomedical Research Liaison Librarian, has been appointed to the Duke Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC), a first for one of our librarians.  In addition to providing advice on performing the best searches on the care and use of animals in Duke research, Emily will be part of the committee that reviews and approves animal research studies and ensures that the animals are well cared for and humanely treated.

The Educational Media and Technologies Section (EMTS) of the Medical Library Association (MLA) awarded Brandi Tuttle, Research & Education, the 2014 EMTS MLA Attendance Grant. The award was presented at the 2014 EMTS Business Meeting in Chicago, IL on May 19, 2014.
