A Half-Century of Service .......The University of Connecticut Health Center is celebrating 50 years

As you know, this year marks the 50th anniversary of the passage of legislation that led to the founding of the UConn Health Center. In fact, it’s been great to see so many people sporting the 50th anniversary lanyards and badge-holders that were shared during last fall’s EXPO event.

A new website dedicated solely to the 50th anniversary was just launched, http://celebrate50.uchc.edu. Throughout the year ahead, we will be adding more information to the site, including video messages from some of our own UConn Health Center “historians.” Be sure to visit the site throughout the year! Also, you will soon notice banners inside and outside the UConn Health Center campus bearing our festive 50th anniversary logo.

We have much to celebrate. Thanks to the wisdom and hard work of many men and women, over many years, the UConn Health Center was transformed from a bold proposal in 1961 into a vibrant and integrated academic medical center in 2011.

If you have a story, photo or a memory you would like to share about the history of the UConn Health Center, please email celebrate50@uchc.edu.

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.”

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.

Open Access Week , October 18-24, 2010

“The exciting opportunity we have with this year’s Open Access Week stems from the fact that Open Access is mature enough that good examples now exist of what you can do as a scholar in an open-access enabled world that you simply can’t do in a closed environment.”

With these words, Heather Joseph, Executive Director of SPARC (the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition and organizer of OA Week), tees up the official 2010 Open Access Week Online Kick-off Event. Leading the event is pioneering Open Access advocate Dr. Harold Varmus, a Nobel Prize-winning scientist who currently directs the U.S. National Cancer Institute. Varmus is joined by Dr. Cameron Neylon, a biophysicist and open research advocate; Dr. Mona Nemer, professor and vice-president for research at the University of Ottawa; Dr. Roger Wakimoto, Director of the U.S. National Center for Atmospheric Research; and a host of other leading researchers from around the globe.

This recorded event can be viewed online at http://www.vimeo.com/15881200 by anyone, in any time zone, on any day during OA Week.

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

New Wiley e-journal platform linking problems

Everyone-
The new e-journal platform has come up, however, there are lots of linking issues, both in LYMAN and SFX A-Z list. Most of them I have found so far, direct you to the Wiley Online Library home page instead of straight to the article or the journal home page.

Please know that we are working to identify all the problem links and get them repaired ASAP.

Please issue a problem report when you encounter links that are not working, so that we can track them.

http://library.uchc.edu/comments/problemrpt.html

Thanks very much for your patience.

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

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. At the same time, Gutheil strives to make the often complex arena of forensic psychiatry more understandable to those who wish to enter the field and to seasoned experts eager to keep up with contemporary changes in forensic psychiatry.

You can access the Book of the Month from the home page, at PsychiatryOnline.com. You'll have access to The Psychiatrist as Expert Witness, 2nd Edition as a PDF download for the month of March.

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.

ScienceDirect and Scopus will be unavailable due to scheduled maintenance : Jan 23

ScienceDirect and Scopus will be unavailable due to scheduled maintenance for approximately 12 hours during the period from 8:00AM to 8:00PM EST Saturday, 23 January 2010. Please plan ahead.

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.

UCONN subscription to PsychiatryOnline offers a free book for the month of January.

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.

January brings Brain Stimulation Therapies for Clinicians by Edmund S. Higgins, M.D., and Mark S. George, M.D.

Brain stimulation—focally applying electricity to the brain—is a field with a rapidly expanding and promising array of techniques, which already have proven efficacy in treating conditions ranging from Parkinson's disease to chronic and acute pain to depression. Comprehensively surveying the landscape of current practice, Brain Stimulation Therapies for Clinicians provides a clear and straightforward analysis of the many therapeutic applications, along with the technologies and techniques involved in each.

The book begins with a thoughtful, and occasionally macabre, history of electrical stimulation of the brain. The authors then provide an accessible and concise overview of electricity and its effects on the brain. The essence of the book, though, is its thorough exploration of the clinical applications of electrical stimulation. Brain Stimulation Therapies for Clinicians covers the wide range of existing electrical stimulation therapies, including electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), deep brain stimulation (DBS), and a host of other clinical applications. Each chapter examines a particular therapy, including its history, an overview of the techniques involved, its clinical indications, side effects, and a critical review of the literature surrounding its efficacy. Designed as an approachable and thorough reference for the practicing clinician, the book includes many features to assist in evaluating the variety of stimulation therapies.

* The book as a whole is an excellent quick-start guide to help practitioners make informed choices about brain stimulation therapies. The background on the basics of electricity is useful for those not intimately familiar with these concepts.
* A thorough glossary helps the clinician navigate the jargon and decode the alphabet soup surrounding current practice.
* Clear and useful diagrams and schematics illustrate all essential points
* Interesting sidebars highlight fascinating and occasionally amusing potential applications of brain stimulation techniques—and offer a glimpse into the sometimes grim history of human brain experimentation.
* The authors' careful attention to evidence-based literature helps clinicians determine which techniques have proven efficacy and which claims are unsupported.
* Each chapter features a comprehensive bibliography of references for further reading.

Brain Stimulation Therapies for Clinicians is an essential reference for any clinician, or even potential patient, interested in understanding electrical stimulation as therapy.

You can access the Book of the Month from the home page, at PsychiatryOnline.com. You'll have access to Stimulation Therapies for Clinicians as a PDF download for the month of January.
