Pat Thibodeau, Associate Dean for Library Services & Archives

This is an exciting time of year as we welcome all our new and returning students and faculty to the Library & Archives resources and services.

Here are 6 top things for you to know about us (and there are dozens more we could tell you).

1. Our Library and Archives staff are here to help you be successful in learning, research, clinical care, authorship, or one of the many roles you may pursue at Duke.
2. Our Websites [Library and Archives] are the best places to get started with resources, services, tutorials, and reaching out to our staff.
3. We are almost 100% electronic – all our current journals and most of our books are now online and accessible from any Duke location or VPN account. 
4. If you use our version of PubMed (under "Quicklinks" on our main Web page), you can use the GetIt@Duke button to connect to journals from off campus locations, as well as see what we own.
5. Quiet study/work areas and collaborative small rooms have replaced our journal stacks.  Come find your favorite space.
6. If you want to learn more about the history of Duke, Medical Center Archives has a number of online resources about Duke Health’s history, as well as images, exhibits, and ways to contact the staff for more information.

Learn more about our Library and and staff and see the new look for our Website.  We wish you success in whatever you pursue during your time at Duke.

 A couple of years ago, we moved over 3,000 linear feet of bound journals and steel shelving on Level 3 to make room for more study space.

In addition to Level 3, we have a variety of other study spaces available in the Library. On Level 2R, Conference Room 212C is available when not in use for a class or meeting.  Room 212E, located behind the Service Desk, can be used for individual and group study. The schedules for these two rooms are mounted on iPads right outside the doors.

Quiet space is available on Level 1 in the Reading Room (room 102), study rooms (rooms 102A, 102B) and the beautiful old Richmond House Room (102E).

Whether you want a quiet or collaborative space, we have an area to suit your needs!

DynaMed Plus, an evidence-based point-of-care information resource, is now available for a one-year trial through July 2017. It's accessible through the Library's Clinical Tools, Databases page, and via mobile devices.

By offering bulleted topic overviews on diseases, drugs and other therapies, DynaMed Plus seeks to make the best available evidence easier to use at the point of care. These topics are formatted for quick look up and link back to the original studies for a deeper dive.

The DynaMed Plus editorial team monitors hundreds of high quality medical journals for new evidence that could impact existing topics. Relevant and valid articles are appraised using standard criteria and assigned the appropriate level of evidence from 1-3 indicated by: Level 1 (likely reliable) Evidence; Level 2 (mid-level) Evidence; and Level 3 (lacking direct) Evidence. Editors ensure that all evidence is objectively reported and synthesized with existing data.

Duke University Medical Center (DUMC) Archives has a variety of online resources to help users learn about the collections and the Medical Center’s history.

Our entire collection of the Aesculapian, the Duke School of Medicine’s yearbook, has been digitized and made available online. Browse or search 34 volumes spanning more than 60 years of Duke history, from 1950 to 2013.

Digitized Intercom – The Intercom, Duke Medicine’s primary news publication from 1953 to 1986, featured information about campus events and construction, faculty and staff news, and articles on medical research and innovations at Duke. The first 25 years of this publication have been digitized, making more than 500 issues available online.

DUMC Archives Guide – Our subject guide provides a brief overview of the Archives, including information about our collections, how to find items, and suggested resources.

It's spring and the Medical Garden is in bloom! If you are not familiar with our garden, come visit our table at the Farmer's Market on September 9 from 11a-2p. You will have a chance to get some information, explore some common medicinal herbs and plants, and pick up a few samples. We hope to see you there!

Need to get to journal content or other library resources from off campus? Simply start at our Website! You will be prompted to sign in with your Duke NetID and password once you get to a resource that requires authentication. No VPN or Virtual PIN is needed!

There are only a few resources that require the VPN – Micromedex, PIVOT, FormWeb, and ExitCare Patient Education. If you need drug information from off campus, Lexicomp only requires your NetID and password. The Duke Medicine network and clinical systems, including the Duke Medicine VPN, use Multi-factor authentication (MFA). You will be asked to type a second password to access our resources. For more information, see the VPN and Multi-factor Authentication Video.

Be sure to use the Duke version of PubMed if you're off campus and need to get to full text. When you find an article you want to read, click on the Get it@Duke button, which will prompt you to sign in with your Duke NetID and password. Remember that Get it@Duke will only take you to the full text of what we subscribe to. If we do not subscribe to the content you are looking for, you will be able to use Get it@Duke to look for the journal in the catalog or to request the article through Document Delivery/Interlibrary Loan Services. The DUMCL Online button only works on campus or on the VPN.

When accessing UpToDate, start at our Website and click on UpToDate under the Quicklinks. You’ll be prompted to sign in with your Duke NetID and password.

If you have any trouble accessing our resources from off campus, please contact the Library at 919.660.1100, email medical-librarian@duke.edu, or use our chat box.

Jamie Conklin, Research and Education

SmartSearch, our "discovery" tool, allows you to search across multiple databases at the same time and quickly find full text, providing a fast, streamlined search through a single search box.

Simply enter your search terms to find results from PubMed and other databases, as well as from full-text journals available through the Duke Medical Center Library & Archives. You'll be reading articles in no time!

In addition, SmartSearch's ability to utilize specialized subject indexes and search multiple sources at once can help you broaden your research to areas possibly not previously considered. You'll find results from CINAHL, PsycINFO, and other subject-specific databases and journals.

Need e-books instead of journals? A separate tool searches across all full-text e-books available through the Duke Medical Center Library & Archives.

To keep search results focused on biomedicine and not too overwhelming, we have not included all the databases or journals available at Duke. SmartSearch also does not search the online catalog.  Please be sure to keep this in mind and use other databases and resources for broader topics outside biomedicine.

You can access SmartSearch from the "Quicklinks" section of our Website or from the Databases page.  If you have questions about SmartSearch, please read more about it or Ask a Librarian.

Pat Thibodeau, Associate Dean for Library Services & Archives

The bottom line is that the PI is responsible even if not an author on the article.  Any author or PI can submit the manuscript file(s) and approve the submission, but unless the submission and final version are approved, the publication becomes non-compliant within 30 days of publication.  That can be a problem when renewing or seeking funding.

AUTHORS!  You can help the PIs by letting them know when a manuscript attributed to their grant has been submitted for publication.

Derrick Vines

After 24 years at the Medical Center Library & Archives, Derrick began a new endeavor in April with the Duke Office of Clinical Research as Coordinator of the Training and Communications Team.  Part of his responsibilities include training new clinical research coordinators on Maestro Care for Clinical Researchers.  We still see him quite frequently in the Library as he teaches in the Library’s Computer Classroom.  He is also responsible for maintaining the DOCR Website and introducing new technologies for the Training and Communications Team.  Some of those technologies will include innovative ways to offer training to the clinical research community at Duke.  

Derrick graduated from Morehouse College in 1992 with an undergraduate degree in Marketing. He began working in the Medical Center Library & Archives as a temporary employee in 1992 and became full-time in 1993. Before joining the Systems/Information Technology Services Department as Desktop Support Manager, he worked in the Library's Circulation Department and the Learning Resources Department. 

Jolie Braun

Jolie left her position as Archives Assistant Director and Archives Librarian for Research, Outreach, and Education in June to begin employment at Ohio State University.  Her new position is Curator of American Literature, which is part of the Rare Books and Manuscripts Library at Ohio State University. In this position, she will provide instruction, teaching and research support, and build and manage the collections associated with the William Charvat Collection of American Literature.

Jolie came to us in 2012 from Washington University in St. Louis where she worked in the Modern Graphic History Library performing reference and outreach activities.  Prior to that, she worked in the Becker Medical Library at Washington University and has additional experience as a grants coordinator, an English instructor, and a journals production editor.

Jolie received her MLIS, with an archival concentration, from San Jose State University. She also has an MA in English from the University of California-Davis. She completed her undergraduate degree at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst with a double major in English and Women's Studies.

The Medical Center Library offers training on a variety of topics. Request a session for yourself or a group, or schedule an appointment for a research consultation.
