Megan von Isenburg, Associate Dean for Library Services & Archives

Whether you are new to Duke or a returning member of our community, welcome to the new academic year at Duke! While this is an August unlike any before, the staff and resources of the Medical Center Library and Archives are here for you. COVID-19 has brought many changes to our campus. Many of our staff are working from home and our Library study and work spaces, which will be reopening soon, will look a little different this year. 

Access to Resources

Many of our books, journals, and databases are available online. Our recently refreshed Website offers access to thousands of resources whether you are on campus or at home. If you are looking for a journal article or other resource, start at https://mclibrary.duke.edu and follow our links so that you can sign in using your Duke NetID and password.

Need a book from stacks? Our print books are currently not available for browsing. However, our book pickup service will launch in early September. This service will allow you to place a request for a print book in the catalog and schedule a low-contact appointment to pick it up. Details will be available soon on our Website.

If we do not have what you are looking for, please let us know. Our Document Delivery/Interlibrary Loan Service is open for article requests. Book requests from other libraries remain closed due to COVID-19-related disruptions in sending and receiving books from other libraries.

Access to Library Spaces

Our study and work spaces will be reopening for limited hours on weekdays starting in mid-August. Students, faculty, and staff will be able to reserve seats in select areas of the Seeley G. Mudd building. We are still finalizing policies and setting up the new reservation system for seats. All spaces will be for individuals to study or work on their own; no group spaces or meeting rooms will be available. We will open with fairly limited hours on weekdays and may expand hours as conditions change. The safety of our patrons and staff is our guiding principle, and everyone in the building must follow Duke's masking, social distancing, and other COVID-related policies. We will provide further information and details on our Website when spaces open. 

Access to Staff

Our most valuable resources are our staff and they are just a phone call or click away. Our staff can provide guidance in identifying and accessing the best information to support your clinical work, education, or research. Our librarians are experts in searching PubMed, CINAHL, and other databases, and can meet with you online to help you with a variety of database needs, including topic alerts, navigating the new PubMed, and even conducting a comprehensive search for a systematic review. They can also offer guidance in using EndNote, Zotero, or other citation management tools. Visit our Ask a Librarian page to get started via chat, email, WebEx or Zoom.

We wish that this August were different and that we could welcome you in person! Please know that our commitment to you and to our mission – providing biomedical information for inquiry, discovery, and innovation – remains strong. If you have questions or comments about library services, please email me at megan.vonisenburg@duke.edu.

Our Website has undergone a frontal facelift! 

Though it has a similar look and feel to the previous version, you will notice some distinct enhancements:

• More resources added to the "Quicklinks" including DynaMed, CINAHL, and Mobile Apps
• Redesigned search widget for quick queries in PubMed, UpTodate, E-journals, the Catalog and our Website
• Addition of a new set of high value menu resources and services offering "Our Expertise" in evidence-based practice, instructional support, systematic reviews, citation management, medical archives, and more.
• New drop-down menus that give a quick full view of choosable options for our main navigation areas: About; Accounts & Access, Databases; Journals & Books; Borrow, Request & Renew; Guides & Tool Sets; and Training & Consulting.  Please note: These drop-down menus do not currently work in Internet Explorer. For access, we recommend using Microsoft Edge.
• Redesigned footer with links to additional Duke resources, social media, our newsletter, blog feed, and contact information

Some of your favorites are still here including...

• "Ask a Librarian" options to reach staff working remotely. We're just a click away!
• Blog posts to help you stay current on Library status, online classes, new resources, and more
• Mobile version to carry with you wherever you go

Along the way, we have also touched up some of our secondary pages as well. For example, the Training & Consulting section of the site has been totally redesigned with a new intro page and categorized sidebar menu for easier navigation.

It is our hope that this refresh will make our Website even better and we look forward to your feedback. Please feel free to share any questions, comments or concerns with Beverly Murphy, Assistant Director, Communications & Web Content at beverly.murphy@duke.edu. We appreciate your interest in our site and welcome your continued use and support.

Lucy Waldrop, Associate University Archivist, Medical Center Archives

COVID-19 has changed and disrupted all of our lives, at Duke and around the world. Classes for students from pre-K to professional schools initially went online and all planned events were canceled or postponed. While essential workers have remained onsite at their jobs, those staff who can have been working remotely. All the while, we have lived with the challenge of how this virus will affect ourselves, our loved ones, and the world around us.

Duke University Medical Center Archives is documenting what it is like to live through a pandemic as part of our mission to preserve, maintain, document, and make available the permanent records of the Duke University Medical Center and Duke University Health System. Though we are capturing all of the news alerts, email updates, and Duke COVID-19 Websites, these materials only tell part of the story. In order to tell the full story, we want to capture the stories of students, staff, faculty, and other people who live, work, or study at Duke. 

In conjunction with Duke University Archives, we have launched Your Story Matters! Documenting COVID-19 at Duke. The stories collected will be permanently preserved and made available for research in our "Documenting COVID-19 at Duke Health Collection."

If you are interested in sharing your story -- through writing, photographs, film, or other means -- please fill out this online form. Signing up does not obligate you to submit anything, now or in the future. It simply permits Archives staff to reach out to you periodically to let you know about options for submission, and you can opt out of receiving these notices at any time. The submission process includes options for keeping submissions anonymous where your contact information is known only to Medical Center Archives staff. Additionally, we recognize you may want time to reflect on your experiences so we will continue to collect stories on an ongoing basis.

Most importantly, please know that your stories matter and we want to hear them. Please contact us with any questions.

Rebecca Williams, Archives Librarian for Research, Outreach, and Education

Though Medical Center Archives is closed and the physical collections are currently inaccessible, staff are available for consultation via online request form or email. They will be happy to answer general questions and assist in locating digital materials for your research. Below are some online resources that are available 24/7.

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

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.

Digital Exhibits
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 (which is currently under reconstruction).

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.

The F1000 family of products (F1000Workspace, F1000Prime and F1000Research) has evolved as a way to discover, read, annotate, write, and share scientific research and is now known as Sciwheel. This change was effective in April 2020 and does have some implications for our users.

Sciwheel is available for free to all Duke University faculty, staff, and students. However, it does require a user to log in from the campus network every 60 days to verify institutional affiliation.  If you are experiencing difficulties doing this because you are working remotely, here are the steps you can take to restore your free institutional account.

1. Log into Sciwheel

Once logged in, check your subscription status by navigating to "account," then "subscription.
If your status is marked with "Sciwheel Institutional Subscription" you are all set!

2. If you do not get this confirmation, you will need to contact Sciwheel support directly so they can manually refresh your access.

Email Sciwheel or use the internal blue and white chat button at the bottom right corner of your browser window (you may not see this if you are blocking ads or trackers)

Sciwheel support will be happy to help ensure that your institutional subscription is active. You will not lose access to your account or to any citations in your account. More information about Sciwheel can be found on the Reference Management: Sciwheel Libguide!

These fiction and non-fiction e-books are available from Duke's OverDrive Collection. Descriptions are excerpted from Amazon.com

Human Compatible: Artificial Intelligence and the Problem of Control
Stuart Russell

In the popular imagination, superhuman artificial intelligence is an approaching tidal wave that threatens not just jobs and human relationships, but civilization itself. Conflict between humans and machines is seen as inevitable and its outcome all too predictable. Distinguished AI researcher Stuart Russell argues that this scenario can be avoided, but only if we rethink AI from the ground up.

From Here to Equality: Reparations for Black Americans in the Twenty-first Century
William A. Darity, Jr. and  A. Kirsten Mullen

Darity and Mullen look to both the past and the present to measure the inequalities borne of slavery. Using innovative methods that link monetary values to historical wrongs, they assess the literal and figurative costs of justice denied in the 155 years since the end of the Civil War. Finally, the authors offer a detailed roadmap for an effective reparations program.

The Price We Pay: What Broke American Healthcare — and How to Fix It
Marty Makary   

The Price We Pay  paints a vivid picture of price-gouging, middlemen, and a series of elusive money games in need of a serious shake-up. Dr. Makary shows how so much of health care spending goes to things that have nothing to do with health and what you can do about it. He challenges the medical establishment to remember medicine's noble heritage of caring for people when they are vulnerable.

The Dry
Jane Harper

After getting a note demanding his presence, Federal Agent Aaron Falk arrives in his hometown for the first time in decades to attend the funeral of his best friend, Luke. Twenty years ago when Falk was accused of murder, Luke was his alibi. Falk and his father fled under a cloud of suspicion, saved from prosecution only because of Luke's steadfast claim that the boys had been together at the time of the crime. But now more than one person knows they didn't tell the truth back then, and Luke is dead.

The Mountains Sing
Que Mai Phan Nguyen

An enveloping, multigenerational tale of the Trần family, set against the backdrop of the Việt Nam War. Trần Diệu Lan, who was born in 1920, was forced to flee her family farm with her six children during the Land Reform as the Communist government rose in the North. Years later in Hà Nội, her young granddaughter, Hương, comes of age as her parents and uncles head off down the Hồ Chí Minh Trail to fight in a conflict that tore not just her beloved country, but her family apart.

The Tradition
Jericho Brown

Winner of the 2020 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry, The Tradition details the normalization of evil and its history at the intersection of the past and the personal. Poems of fatherhood, legacy, blackness, queerness, worship, and trauma are propelled into stunning clarity. Brown's invention of the duplex — a combination of the sonnet, the ghazal, and the blues — is testament to his formal skill.
