CrossMark – a Useful Tool for Researchers

How can researchers and librarians find out about updates, corrections and retractions once a scholarly research paper is published? CrossMark is the tool that enables publishers to communicate these changes. Watch for this logo on a publication to check the status:

CrossMark is a service of CrossRef, the same folks who bring you the DOI (Digital Object Identifier) that is on many articles today.

For more information about CrossMark see their list of frequently asked questions. While they last, contact the Medical Library if you would like a free CrossMark pen!

POSNA Archive - New Updates

The POSNA Archives continues to expand. Here's the latest "finding aid" or list of what's in the collection. One focuses on the donation of George Simons while the POSNA Archival Collection document introduces what else is available.

Open Access not all Open

Some open access repositories include "dark deposit" documents that are perhaps not yet released into open access through the publisher or the author has deposited them but limited access. Eloy Rodrigues' interesting interview  with Richard Poynder discusses the use and success rate of the "request eprint button" at the University of Minho in Portugal.

Personal Protective Equipment Training

Correctly putting on, taking off and disposing of personal protective equipment can be vitally important. The CDC offers detailed instructions. The New England Journal of Medicine just released an excellent video article that goes through all the PPE steps very clearly.

Gates Foundation - Changes in Access to Funded Publications

If you receive grant funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation you will want to be aware of their increasing support of open access to published research based on their funded projects. As of January 2015, the Gates Foundation requires an article resulting from their grants to be made open access immediately upon publication, rather than allowing the 12-month time delay that NIH currently requires. A grace period extends the requirement until 2017, but included in this is release of data sets and release for commercial use, too. PubMed Central serves as the foundation for making published NIH-funded research available.

Snowy Views

Nothing like the Northeast, but we've had enough ice and snow in the past 2 weeks to really cause traffic problems in the Metroplex. However, it also produces some pretty scenes. One of these is out the library window and two are nearby. If you peer closely in the entrance photo you might see our own snowplow in action.

Tachdjian's and Campbell's Links Changing

The link to our Tachdjian's Pediatric Orthopaedics online book (5th edition, 2014) is changing effective March 7, 2015 (updated details here). If you have bookmarked it on your computer for use while at the hospital, you will need to update the address, otherwise just click in the usual spots on the Medical Library website. You can also find it with other library listings on the TSRHC Intranet Portal in the left column (pink).

The address for Campbell's Operative Orthopaedics, 12th ed., 2013, is also changing due to this publisher platform revision.

Browser warning -- it does not work at all with Internet Explorer 8, so you must use Chrome or Firefox or a higher level of IE.
