Megan von Isenburg, Associate Dean for Library Services & Archives

New academic years are an exciting time at the Medical Center Library & Archives! Our new trainees, students, and faculty bring enthusiasm, ideas, and questions... And as librarians, we love questions!

As I write this, I am sitting in the Searle Center Great Hall where almost 200 new fellows and residents are participating in a daylong orientation to their new roles at Duke. This group of trainees will be caring for patients and conducting research, and their questions reflect the variety of information needs they will have during their work. In August, we look forward to welcoming hundreds of new students who will begin their studies in biomedical graduate programs and who will have their own questions. I am happy to share with all our new and returning Duke Health faculty, staff, and students some of the most fruitful ways our Library can improve patient care, education, and research.

So what do new and returning Library users need to know?

1. Our Website (http://mclibrary.duke.edu) – Whether you are on campus or off, start here with the portal to our resources and services. For almost all our resources, you do not need to be on the VPN or Virtual PIN… we will prompt you to sign in with your Duke NetID and password once you get to a licensed resource from off campus.
2. UpToDate – Used by many clinicians, this popular resource is available on and off campus through our Website and a mobile app.  To set up the app, visit www.uptodate.com on campus, then register for your own username and password. Download the app from your phone's app store, and sign in with your new UpToDate credentials. Note: these credentials are not needed for the Web version.
3. PubMed – As tempting as it is, don't go to PubMed through Google or through your old institution! Always start at mclibrary.duke.edu and then click on PubMed from our Web page. This ensures that you'll see the journals Duke subscribes to and it facilitates access to PDFs both on campus and off.
4. E-Books – We buy more electronic than print books so that information is more easily accessible when and where you need it! Electronic books also allow you to search quickly across books to find what you need. One of our popular e-book collections is ClinicalKey, but other titles are available as well. Our catalog includes records for all electronic books available at Duke. 
5. EndNote – Duke's Office for Information Technology offers a site license to EndNote. The Medical Center Library & Archives offers extensive support for this powerful tool, from online videos and classes to in-depth consultations to ensure that you spend time on your research, not formatting citations or locating PDFs.
6. Evidence-based Medicine Tools – We offer DynaMed Plus, the Cochrane Library, JAMAevidence, and other tools to access, appraise, and apply the best evidence for clinical decision-making.
7. Tools to help you get published – There are many ways to identify journals for your article manuscript, including JANE, Web of Science, and Scopus. Our librarians are happy to help you use these tools to identify potential homes for your research.
8. Library Spaces – Our library stretches across three floors of the Seeley G. Mudd building and offers individual and small group study rooms, collaboration areas, data stations, quiet zones, and technology to facilitate your work.
9. Our staff – Our library and archives staff are ready to help. Contact us to learn new tools, improve your searches, and connect with resources.

The Medical Center Library & Archives now offers group study spaces for reservation by Duke-affiliated faculty, staff, and students.

Group study rooms are available for booking on Levels 1 and 3 of the Library.  All the rooms are equipped with large monitors and whiteboards and seat between 4 and 8 people. 

Level 1: Rooms 102A and 102B Level 3: Rooms 315, 316, 319, 320

Reservation Policy: Group study rooms may be reserved by faculty, staff, and students for 2 hours per day, per individual. Rooms may be scheduled for up to 1 week in advance (including the day of the reservation). After a 15-minute grace period for arrival, the space becomes available to others.

What are Library Liaisons?
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

Duke University Medical Center (DUMC) Archives is committed to preserving, documenting, and making available for research the permanent records of Duke Health. While we always welcome visitors to our physical location, the Archives has a variety of online resources to help users learn about the collections and the Medical Center’s history.

MEDSpace – If you’re looking for historic images, our digital repository, MEDSpace, is an excellent place to start. MEDSpace contains nearly 700 photographs documenting the history of Duke Medicine. You can also find early publications, medical illustrations and artwork, and medical artifacts.

Digitized Yearbooks – Want to look up a faculty member, an old classmate, or maybe even yourself? 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.

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, Duke FormWeb, Altmetric Explorer, 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.

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.

• Education: BA in Business; IS in Information Technology; Novel CAN; Red Hat Linux Certificate; Microsoft MCSA
• Current position: Information Services

Q & A

1.    Describe your current position & what you find most interesting about it.
As an Information Services Specialist, I work with a team that integrates computer systems and communication into the work environment of the Medical Library and Archives.  By computer systems, I mean everything from desktops and laptops to servers that offer storage, Web access and related services. This includes peripheral devices such as printers and scanners and the ability to connect wireless devices.  I love the pace of change in my profession. You can never grow bored; new ideas and devices are a constant. 

2.    Describe yourself in three words. Self-motivated team participant

3.    What has been your biggest professional challenge?
My biggest professional challenge is a personal one. Technical work tends to be solo and reclusive. You must be intentional in expanding your experience in your work area through joining and participating in activities that keep you from forming an isolationist attitude.

4.    What do you think is the most interesting issue in libraries & archives today?
As content is moved to digital formats and library space shrinks, the most interesting issue for the Lbrary and Archives is how to do the other aspects of our historical designation.  A library and archival strength is not only in maintaining information and providing access, but also in developing processes where access is ported into different environments, for pleasure, study, or to enhance other disciplines, and always promote collaboration and opportunity.

5.    Whom do you admire?
I admire people with opinions.  So many only speak public narratives.  I love to hear original thought and ideas.

6.    What organizations are you involved in?
Durham CAN (Congregations, Associations and Neighborhoods), Political Action Committee of the Democratic Party (PAC), People’s Alliance, and various computer groups and associations.

7.    Is there anything about you that others might be surprised to know? I am taking cooking classes.

8.    What do you do for exercise? For relaxation?
I am a member of the local YMCA. I read, I walk, and I love to hike. I am learning how to take pictures of my adventures. 

9.    What are you most proud of? I became a granddad four months ago.

10.    What is your favorite Website or blog? Newcreationumcdurham.org
