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.
Vice President for Health Affairs
Dean, UConn School of Medicine

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. 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.

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.
