Elsevier Releases Image Search; New SciVerse ScienceDirect Feature Enables Researchers to Quickly Find Reliable Visual Content
Amsterdam 12 November, 2010 – Elsevier, a leading publisher of scientific, technical and medical (STM) information, today announced the availability of Image Search, a new SciVerse ScienceDirect feature that enables users to quickly and efficiently find images and figures relevant to their specific research objectives.
The new feature allows researchers to search across more than 15 million images contained within SciVerse ScienceDirect. Results include tables, photos, figures, graphs and videos from trusted peer-reviewed full text sources. Saving researchers significant time, Image Search ensures increased efficiency in finding the relevant visuals.
Search results can be refined by image type and contain links to the location within the original source article, allowing researchers to verify image in context. Researchers can take advantage of Image Search to learn new concepts, prepare manuscripts or visually convey ideas in presentations and lectures. The new feature is available to SciVerse ScienceDirect subscribed users at no additional cost.
“By allowing researchers to delve immediately into the images on SciVerse ScienceDirect, the new feature saves researchers valuable time and offers immediate access to a vast database of trusted visual content,” said Rafael Sidi, Vice President of Product Management for Elsevier’s SciVerse ScienceDirect. “Developed in response to user feedback, Image Search represents another example of the steps Elsevier is taking to speed scientific search and discovery by improving researcher workflow.”

NIH's Disaster Information Management Research Center (DIMRC) Web pages have a new look
The Disaster Information Management Research Center (DIMRC) Web pages have a new look: http://disasterinfo.nlm.nih.gov. The pages have been redesigned to enhance access to NLM's many and diverse resources useful for disaster and emergency readiness, response, and recovery. Emergency responders will find links to the WISER resource for hazardous materials incidents and the Radiation Emergency Medical Management site. A growing list of guides to online disaster information includes titles such as "Crude Oil Spills and Health," "Special Populations: Emergency and Disaster Preparedness," and "Floods." New features include an A to Z Index, links to the latest articles and reports from PubMed and the Resource Guide for Public Health Preparedness, and news about disaster events, publications, and online resources from both US and international sources. DIMRC is a part of the Specialized Information Services Division at the National Library of Medicine (NLM).
The NN/LM Emergency Preparedness & Response Toolkit also has a redesigned web site at http://nnlm.gov/ep. The site now features a cleaner presentation of information and resources plus Twitter feeds and easier access to weather-related alerts and warnings. A new video tutorial (http://nnlm.gov/ep/toolkit-navigation-video) assists users in navigating the toolkit. The National Network of Libraries of Medicine (NN/LM) provides the Toolkit for librarians to use in developing emergency preparedness and response plans for their libraries and finding help with handling floods, fires, and other incidents that affect a library's buildings, collections and services. The National Network, a service of the National Library of Medicine, coordinates eight regional offices and a network of nearly 6,000 member libraries in the United States.

McMaster University and DynaMed Partner to Identify Practice-Changing Evidence Across Medical Disciplines

McMaster University and DynaMed Partner to Identify Practice-Changing Evidence Across Medical Disciplines
~Partnership Brings Together Two of the Best Systems for Monitoring High-Quality Medical Research to Impact Patient Care ~
IPSWICH, Mass. — October 20, 2010 — McMaster University’s Health Information Research Unit and DynaMed™ from EBSCO Publishing have partnered to help physicians understand the scope of the medical research being published every day. Thanks to the agreement, the two best systems for keeping up with medical research have come together in an international partnership to identify practice-changing evidence for physicians and to include that knowledge directly into the DynaMed experience. Through this unique partnership, physicians from around the world, combining the McMaster University and DynaMed communities, will rate the most important research articles for specific relevance at the point of care and identify the practice-changing articles across all disciplines.
Given the number of medical journals, the amount of medical research being published each week is overwhelming. The sheer volume of the new information being published makes it impossible for a practicing physician to read every article or to identify which articles contain research that needs to be put into practice. Having a mechanism to synthesize the new medical evidence into a useable format and rate the relevance is becoming more and more essential. The agreement between McMaster University and DynaMed provides physicians with the information they need to know—the best available evidence—when and where they need it most—at the point of care.
McMaster University and DynaMed add context to the medical literature allowing hospitals and healthcare providers to make decisions based on the best available evidence. The Health Information Research Unit at McMaster University has established a process to identify high-quality medical research and has recruited a global network of thousands of physicians spanning all disciplines that evaluates the clinical relevance and newsworthiness of high quality research articles. DynaMed is a point-of-care clinical reference and decision support resource that identifies the best available evidence; uses a team of physicians, health professionals from other disciplines and scientists trained in research methodology to critically analyze the content; summarizes research evidence for rapid application; and makes the information available for physicians to find in the moment-to-moment context of patient care.
By combining these systematic and rigorous methods for identifying and analyzing medical research and adding the vast array of practicing physicians (who are able to reflect current practice needs), physicians using DynaMed will be able to quickly identify the practice-changing medical research results across all medical disciplines.

Elsevier has put a new face on their 2 premier products, ScienceDirect and Scopus, creating a new "HUB" called "SciVerse".
Some of you may have already noticed that Elsevier has put a new face on their 2 premier products, ScienceDirect and Scopus, creating a new "HUB" called "SciVerse".
Lots of information, tutorials, videos etc at this link : http://www.info.sciverse.com/sciverse-hub
In a nutshell if you do not want to bother with the tutorials, etc…………….read this…….
This HUB allows users to search both ScienceDirect and Scopus and SciTopics all at the same time, however, you can still search each product independently as well.
http://www.hub.sciverse.com/action/home
You will notice 2 circles in the top left corner -- this will tell you which product you are currently navigating in.
SciVerse - Hub -- http://www.hub.sciverse.com/action/home -- all the same functionality as Scirus : the scientific search engine
SciVerse - ScienceDirect -- http://www.sciencedirect.com/ -- all the same functionality
SciVerse - Scopus -- http://www.scopus.com/home.url -- all the same functionality
When you are in HUB -- the search results ( using Scirus: the scientific search engine) present you with several icons :
See the information on Scirus and what it does here : http://www.scirus.com/srsapp/aboutus/
Basically : the search results icons………...
Abstract -- takes you to Scopus -- where you can pick up our Link Resolver button for full text -- Find It @ UCHC
External -- takes you to several places --
1…. PubMed abstract -- no Linkout buttons yet -- but they are working on getting those links working
2…. actual products we have access to like MDConsult
3…. Scientific web resources including institutional respositories
Full text -- takes you to full text within ScienceDirect

My NCBI Tool to Replace eRA Commons for Bibliography Management
My NCBI Tool to Replace eRA Commons for Bibliography Management
As of July 23, 2010, PD/PIs will be unable to enter citations manually into eRA Commons and must use My NCBI’s “My Bibliography” tool to manage their professional bibliographies. Please see the full press release at this URL: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-10-103.html
eRA Commons has partnered with the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) to link NCBI’s personal online tool, “My NCBI,” to Commons. My NCBI offers an online portal—“My Bibliography”—for users to maintain and manage a list of all of their authored works, such as journal articles, manuscripts accepted for publication, books, and book chapters. Linking a Commons account to a new or existing My NCBI account allows references saved in My Bibliography to automatically appear in users’ Commons accounts.
Please follow this link to the eRA website, for complete instructions on creating and linking accounts necessary for this transition.
http://era.nih.gov/ncbi/how-to_steps.cfm#account
Please also see the following article posted in the NLM Technical Bulletin, describing a new feature now available in My Bibliography and which facilitates the management of publication compliance with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Public Access Policy. From the new Awards View, eRA Commons users are able to see whether their publications are compliant with the Policy, start the manuscript submission process, associate their NIH extramural awards with their publications, and designate delegates to manage their bibliography via My NCBI.

UCONN Health Center Community Continues to Respond to the People of Haiti
Though it has now been two months since the devastating earthquake and aftershocks rocked the island nation of Haiti, the country is still in dire need of medical attention and care. The needs are complex and it will take many more months, if not years, to rebuild Haiti’s medical infrastructure.
In light of this ongoing need, I am very proud to say that a group of 11 men and women from the UConn Health Center community is leaving this week for a 16-day medical mission to the University Hospital in Port-au-Prince. They will be volunteering their time and talent with the International Medical Corps, a global humanitarian organization. IMC is the same group that Dr. Robert Fuller, Medical Director of Emergency Department, worked with immediately following the earthquake.
The UConn team includes specially trained physicians, nurses and nurse practitioners. They will provide care at University Hospital, and will help the IMC with its long-term recovery efforts.
Please join me in extending our deepest thanks and sincere best wishes to our UConn contingent:
Michael Fishcher, M.D., Internal Medicine
Lynn Kosowicz, M.D., Internal Medicine
Susan Levine, M.D., Internal Medicine (Community physician; clinical faculty)
Mitch McGrath, R.N., General Medicine
MaryBeth Barry, A.P.R.N., Cardiology/General Medicine
Laura Glynn, R.N., General Medicine
Dawn Smith, R.N., General Medicine
Katherine Anderson, R.N., General Medicine
Kathleen Curley, R.N., General Medicine
Christy Meyer, R.N., Emergency Medicine/ICU
Rachel Jones, R.N., General Medicine
We look forward to their safe return and appreciate the sacrifice they are making.
I am also grateful to Dr. Fuller and Dr. Adam Silverman for their efforts in coordinating and facilitating the UConn response.
Sincerely,
Cato T. Laurencin, M.D., Ph.D.

UCONN Health Library subscribes to PsychiatryOnline - check out the free book - a new one each month
Subscribers to DSM Premium and DSM Premium Plus at PsychiatryOnline.com get access to a free PDF version of a featured book EVERY MONTH from the APPI Bookstore.
March brings The Psychiatrist as Expert Witness, 2nd Edition, by Thomas G. Gutheil, M.D.
Forensic psychiatry is growing in popularity, and many a practitioner feels the urge to explore this fascinating realm of endeavor. The second edition of The Psychiatrist as Expert Witness, by Thomas G. Gutheil, M.D., is a highly readable and practical guidebook for those interested in entering the field while navigating the dangers inherent in courtroom testimony. This volume is a thoroughly revised and updated edition of his highly successful first edition. The earlier edition has been used in nearly all forensic psychiatric training programs in the U.S. and Cana da since its publication in 1998.
A professor of psychiatry at the Beth Israel-Deaconess Medical Center-Harvard Medical School, Gutheil draws on his decades of experience in the courtroom and countless beginner's mistakes to help readers avoid the pitfalls of serving as an expert witness. While of great value to newcomers to the field, the book offers insight and guidance to early-career and seasoned expert witnesses as well.
As in the first edition, this volume explores the role of the expert witness, moral issues, basic principles, depositions and trials, writing for the court, and ethical marketing. Besides the requisite updating of references and suggested readings, this latest volume features expansions and additions of particular benefit to prospective expert witnesses:
* A glossary of useful terms
* Expanded definitions of key concepts
* A lengthened discussion of bias in testimony
* A model forensic consent form for examination
* Cases and principles that have arisen since the first edition
The Psychiatrist as Expert Witness provides the practical, hands-on mentoring and guidance that were not readily available in the past. Concrete advice replaces abstract theorizing, and informal discussion in a user-friendly tone replaces scholarly discourse. These attributes combine to make this a book that is highly accessible and usable in real world courtroom settings.
While some in society decry the expert witness function, the courts will continue, fro m all evidence, to require expert witness testimony in increasing numbers. The author seeks to help his colleagues meet the courts' needs with ethical, effective and helpful testimony through the publication of this revised volume.

March brings The Psychiatrist as Expert Witness, 2nd Edition, by Thomas G. Gutheil, M.D.
Forensic psychiatry is growing in popularity, and many a practitioner feels the urge to explore this fascinating realm of endeavor. The second edition of The Psychiatrist as Expert Witness, by Thomas G. Gutheil, M.D., is a highly readable and practical guidebook for those interested in entering the field while navigating the dangers inherent in courtroom testimony. This volume is a thoroughly revised and updated edition of his highly successful first edition. The earlier edition has been used in nearly all forensic psychiatric training programs in the U.S. and Cana da since its publication in 1998.
A professor of psychiatry at the Beth Israel-Deaconess Medical Center-Harvard Medical School, Gutheil draws on his decades of experience in the courtroom and countless beginner's mistakes to help readers avoid the pitfalls of serving as an expert witness. While of great value to newcomers to the field, the book offers insight and guidance to early-career and seasoned expert witnesses as well.
As in the first edition, this volume explores the role of the expert witness, moral issues, basic principles, depositions and trials, writing for the court, and ethical marketing. Besides the requisite updating of references and suggested readings, this latest volume features expansions and additions of particular benefit to prospective expert witnesses:
* A glossary of useful terms
* Expanded definitions of key concepts
* A lengthened discussion of bias in testimony
* A model forensic consent form for examination
* Cases and principles that have arisen since the first edition
The Psychiatrist as Expert Witness provides the practical, hands-on mentoring and guidance that were not readily available in the past. Concrete advice replaces abstract theorizing, and informal discussion in a user-friendly tone replaces scholarly discourse. These attributes combine to make this a book that is highly accessible and usable in real world courtroom settings.

Books in Print (BIP) online no longer available at UCONN
The University of Connecticut Libraries has cancelled Books in Print Online.
So what do you do now if you were a regular user?....................
If you know the publisher of the book, you can get a fairly good idea from the publishers website if the title is still in print, in stock and being sold.
Worldcat can also give you subject searching capability for published titles, then go to the publishers website for in print and sale information.
For forthcoming titles, records known as CIP (cataloging in publication) records are deposited into Worldcat before publication by a publisher and/or bookseller -- then to get a date of publication and pricing, go to the publishers website.
This is a little more searching leg work to get the same information that BIP provided in one place, but it is certainly doable.
Amazon can be used as a last resort for purchase availability, but because of the unreliability of purchase price -- either new or used, Amazon is pretty chaotic for determining if a title is actually out of print at the publisher.

bX Scholarly Recommender Service
bX Scholarly Recommender Service
The UConn Health Center Library has expanded its SFX link resolver service to include bX: A Scholarly Recommender Service. You can compare this service to PubMed’s Related articles service, or more popularly, to AMAZON – “other users also bought these”. While not a search service, bX is designed to provide SFX users automated browsing of scholarly articles based on usage data. Recommendations are made based on a structural analysis of SFX link resolver usage from libraries worldwide. Currently, 180 libraries worldwide have helped to develop and are using bX, see the partial list below.
Boston College
British Library
California State University (17 Campuses)
Princeton
University of Chicago
University of Texas at Austin
Los Alamos National Laboratory
When you click on an SFX link button while searching in Scopus, Web of Science, or Ovid’s Medline, you may be presented with a menu titled : Users interested in this article also expressed an interest in the following : . Not all article citations that you click on in SFX, will display the bX menu. SFX usage is harvested (behind the scenes) using OAI-PMH protocol and returned to users as recommendations within the menu.
You don’t have to lose these recommendations as bX can be prompted to download the citations popping up in the bX menu recommendations to your choice of bibliographic manager services such as RefWorks, Procite, Endnote, and RefManager.
Please let us know what you think of this service add on to our SFX link resolver.
