Megan von Isenburg, Associate Dean for Library Services & Archives

Welcome to a new academic year! The staff of the Medical Center Library & Archives is thrilled to welcome newcomers and returning faculty, staff, and students to a new academic year.

We have many new services, collections, and refinished spaces to help you succeed! Here are a few highlights to get you started.

Services

• Our Website – features news, tips for using our collections, access to our online resources, and staff contact information.
• Research Services – Librarians are available via chat, phone, and in-person consultation to help answer your research, patient care, or academic questions. We can help with literature searches, identifying a good resource, and using EndNote. Use our online chat service on our Ask a Librarian page for quick help and Request a Consultation for more in-depth needs.
• Service Desk Support – Our staff at the Service Desk are available Monday – Friday between 8a and 6p to help you find and access books/journals, use our Library computers, utilize our e-reserves, and more.

Collections

• Online Access - Our Web pages serve as the portal to our resources. Start on our Website whether you are on campus or off. For almost all of 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. In addition, you should always start your PubMed search from our Website! This enables you to easily connect to available journals.
• UpToDate – This popular resource is available on and off campus through our Website and through a mobile app, which is used by many clinicians. 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 mobile Web version.
• E-Books – This year we have added AccessMedicine to our collections of e-books. This means the latest editions of hundreds of core biomedical and health sciences textbooks are available and searchable!
• History of Duke Health – Our Medical Center Archives maintains historical records and artifacts from the nearly 90 years of Duke Health. Visit the Archives Website to get started.

Spaces

• Data Stations – In addition to computers and PIN stations, there are 2 data stations on Level 2R equipped with software for data analysis.
• Reserve a Study Room – We have 6 rooms that can be reserved online, each with large whiteboards and monitors. Other study spaces are available, including quiet cubicles on Levels 2R and 3, open seating on Levels 1 and 3, and several nooks across the 3 floors of the Library.
• Reserve a Conference Room – Room 212C is available for groups who reserve in advance. Call 919-660-1150 to get started.

We strive to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for the entire Duke community. If you have any comments, questions, or suggestions for how we can best meet your needs, please contact me at megan.vonisenburg@duke.edu.

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. Recently redesigned, 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.

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. We recommend it for anyone who is new to Medical Center Archives as an introduction to what we have and how we can help with your research or project.

DUMC Archives African Americans at Duke Medicine Guide – This guide aims to introduce researchers to materials documenting the history of African American faculty, students, and staff at Duke Medicine. Included are recommended oral histories, archival collections, photograph and AV items, publications, selected key dates and key figures, and links to suggested digital resources.

Digital Exhibits – The Archives has several digital exhibits about key figures and events in the history of the Medical Center. Some of the topics include the Duke Poison Control Center, Dr. Wilburt C. Davison’s correspondence with Sir William Osler, and women in medicine at Duke.

DUMC Archives Blog and Instagram – Updated regularly, our blog and Instagram are the places to go for Archives news, to see materials from our collections, and discover stories about the Medical Center’s history.

Finally, the Duke University Medical Center Archives Website compiles many of our resources into one place for access and viewing. Check it out and let us know what you think.

Sarah Cantrell, Associate Director for Research and Education

We now provide access to the Johns Hopkins ABX (Antibiotic) Guide, an infectious disease resource intended for all healthcare personnel. The guide features frequently updated, evidence-based information on infectious diseases, including disease diagnosis; drug indications, dosing, pharmacokinetics, side effects, and interactions; pathogens; management; and vaccines.

The ABX Guide includes details of drug spectrum activity to target the right anti-infective agent at the right organism. Additionally, the ABX Guide offers annotated references with links out to articles so that clinicians can easily connect to and explore the evidence in greater depth.

The ABX guide is available via the Web and can be found on both the Clinical Tools guide and via the Databases, Journals, & Books list. The ABX Guide is also available as a mobile app through the UCentral platform. Instructions to download the app are available for Apple and Android.

If you have further questions about this or any of Duke's resources, Ask a Librarian!

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 of our resources that require the VPN – Micromedex, PIVOT, Duke FormWeb, Altmetric Explorer, and ExitCare Patient Education. 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.

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 MedLib Online button only works on campus or on the VPN.

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

Access to Browzine (think "browsing") will be ending later this month. This handy resource offered help in staying current with the literature by aggregating and organizing information in one place, enabling you to browse, read, and monitor current journals in your subject areas. While access to this resource will disappear, we are here to help you make the transition (or start new habits)!

Docphin and Read by QxMD are two apps we suggest.  Both provide easy access to Duke University’s journal subscriptions, make it easy to share, and allow you to create a customized news feed so you don’t waste any time staying current.

Alternatively, we recently secured access to Prime Journals via Unbound Medicine, which connects you to articles indexed in the PubMed database. It allows you to conduct a clinical search using PubMed’s Clinical Queries, link to full-text articles, browse by categories (dx, ddx, med specialty, drugs, etc.), and visually explore related literature.

It's time to let these tools do the work for you (or at least some of it)!

Writing and publishing articles can be challenging. Obstacles to getting published include lack of time to write, not knowing the right journal to send your manuscript to, and lack of familiarity with the entire research to writing process. Few researchers are formally taught about the publication process. To address this, the Medical Center Library & Archives has partnered with Wiley Researcher Academy to offer online instruction on over a dozen topics in publishing.

Wiley Researcher Academy is a modular, self-paced online learning program for early career researchers who wish to develop their expertise and understanding of the scientific publishing process. Mid-career researchers seeking to update and perfect their skills will also find it beneficial.

It consists of 14 interactive learning paths that individuals can complete at their own pace. Topics include:

• Funding the research project
• Selecting an appropriate journal
• Best practices in writing scientific articles
• Managing research data
• Post publication activities and driving visibility
• Becoming a peer reviewer

We encourage you to explore the Researcher Academy. Registration is required, but accounts are free.
