BrowZ our Journals with BrowZine!

BrowZine is our new journal citation finding service! A virtual display case of the electronic journal subscriptions available to you through the library. Type in the journal title and drill down to reach the article you are hunting for. Along the way notice that it has broad topics through which you can BrowZ to discover what we have access to! And if you find something you’d like to be proactive in your knowledge quest by following regularly, you can set up an account to create your own Bookshelf. No more wading through email alerts!

When you set your account, they’ll send a link to an explanatory video.  You can even access the journals on your phone with an app and our remote access service OpenAthens.  

To find BrowZine while on campus, go to the library’s web-based journals page and check the FAQs page for more information.

How is this different from a database search like MEDLINE through PubMed? BrowZine is a way to get to an article for which you have a citation. MEDLINE is designed for subject searching and includes links to the articles we have that you encounter. Together you have multiple ways to find the information you need.

Goodbye and Hello!

Mary Peters is retiring and Bridget Barry-Thias is the new Medical Library Manager. Welcome, Bridget, and goodbye, Mary! 

A time of transitions!

Mary started at Scottish Rite Hospital in 1981 and has lived and worked through huge changes in the information world. From being excited about getting an electric typewriter for the library, to learning word processing as the hospital started getting personal computers. The card catalog has transitioned from index card access into an online version that can link users to not only print but also the full text online. 

From huge volumes of the Index Medicus – in print or even microfilm – to almost instant lists of medical literature citations through MEDLINE and CINAHL databases online. Full text books and journal articles provided by libraries to users at home or traveling.  Passwords! 

But the publishers still need to be paid - and while much information is available freely on the web today, access to the quality, peer-reviewed information needed by medical clinicians and researchers is still an expensive business requiring evaluation, management and coordination of a number of services. The health science librarian is still here to help manage and provide access to that “knowledge-based” data you need.

Bridget will take us into the next stage – more reliance on electronic access to information needs. The Medical Library will still have print materials, but this past year has been spent evaluating and paring down the physical collection. Soon it will emerge in a refreshed version as it moves further into the world of online access. Please contact Bridget for your information needs!

Clarity Across Languages: The art and science of translating health information

This is an eye-opening article that illustrates the challenges our interpreting staff face daily in providing great communication services to our families and visitors. It provides a look at the behind the scenes work involved in creating the Spanish version of MedlinePlus, MedlinePlus en español, the trusted consumer health resource from the National Library of Medicine. Author Fedora Braverman is team lead for the MedlinePlus en español website.

Set Up Your Own Search Alert Using MyNCBI

If you want to save a PubMed MEDLINE search and get updates you need to set up a MyNCBI account at PubMed. You can customize it so that filters like “review” or “all child” or “published in the last 5 years” always show up to the side of your searches for a quick note of how that changes your results (to actually do that search you need to click the real filters on the left though). If you always sign in before searching, then when you search it will keep your history for 6 months instead of timing out after 8 hours. Warning though – the Clipboard does disappear!

1.   Go to PubMed. If you use your own health science library’s unique address you will see an indicator when you reach an article they have. If you are connected with more than one library, you can add additional filters later on in the process. If you are not on campus the links will not give you full text, but you can use the library's remote access service (ours is OpenAthens) to reach it.

2.   Click on Sign in to NCBI – the link is in the upper right corner. If you are in Chrome it can save your password once you get set up. You’ll see a link to an overview YouTube video on the right and a list of some of the features.

3.   The MyNCBI home page has a number of sections – a place to collect articles on a topic, an area that shows the search alerts you set up, a list of the filters you choose, and a place to gather your own bibliography to easily pass along. There’s a good Help section. You can customize these windows.

4.   Back at NLM's main PubMed page when you have done a search you will see Create alert just below the search box. Clicking that will give you a set up screen. There you can name it and schedule the frequency. Perhaps write yourself a note in the “Any text you want to be added…” area as a reminder if this is for a paper or other specific activity besides general interest.

Just What is an Archive? the POSNA Archive online

Here's an excellent overview of what to expect when you visit an archive. The process involved is common with any collection, no matter the topic. At the hospital we host the POSNA Archive, which is gaining an online presence at POSNA's website under History. Through the dedicated work of hospital staff and POSNA Historical Committee members, the historical video collection posted there is growing.

Fair Use Week 2018!

It’s Fair Use Week 2018! Fair Use balances the rights of a copyright holder with the rights of the public to enjoy and make use of copyrighted materials to promote science, research and the arts – and the rights of libraries to provide information. The National Library of Medicine offers an excellent overview.

“Section 107 of the US Copyright Act provides the details of fair use, but the University of Virginia Library nicely summed it up in only seven words: ‘Use fairly. Not too much. Have reasons.’ ”

DeBakey and the Education of American Surgeons

"Michael DeBakey came to Houston in 1948 as the new chairman of the Department of Surgery at Baylor College of Medicine." This brief but interesting overview by Dr. Justin Barr in NLM's Circulating Now describes "the state of American surgery in the 1940s and 1950s. In the early 20th century, most surgeons trained by a combination of apprenticeship and post-graduate courses.  This model worked well enough when operations were rare and relatively simple" but as medicine grew more complex, changes were needed. DeBakey began to push residency programs and board certification to improve the training level of Houston surgeons.

Contributor Dr. Barr was a Michael E. DeBakey Fellow in the History of Medicine at the National Library of Medicine in 2017.

UTSW Orthopaedics Portal - eBooks and eJournals!

An Orthopaedics Portal to electronic books, journals and websites has been created for you by the medical librarian who is the UTSW Library’s liaison to their Orthopaedics Department, Helen Mayo. If you are on staff there and have active login credentials, you can reach those books and journals. 

They have eBooks we do not have, such as Green’s Skeletal Trauma in Children (5^th ed, 2015) and a couple of very new spine surgery books (Spine Surgery, 3^rd ed., 2018, and Benzel’s Spine Surgery, 4^th ed., 2017).

In sports medicine they have a nice list of journal titles plus three sports medicine books (Drez and Drez, 4^th ed., 2015; Nuclear Medicine and Radiologic Imaging in Sports Injuries, 2015; and Surgical Techniques of the Shoulder, Elbow, and Knee in Sports Medicine, 2^nd ed., 2013).  Take a look at the Total Joints section for even more knee books.  

Look at the Portals tab for more lists of resources, including an excellent section on evidence-based medicine. She’s done a great job!

You can find a link to the portal on your OpenAthens home page, bottom of the center panel. If you go to the UTSW Library home page you will also see a Portals tab near the top.

The CRISPR bacteria connection

Heard the word "CRISPR" mentioned in genetics-related stories recently? Do you know how it was developed? This new article from Genetics Home Reference explains the bacteria connection!

"CRISPR-Cas9 was adapted from a naturally occurring genome editing system in bacteria. The bacteria capture snippets of DNA from invading viruses and use them to create DNA segments known as CRISPR arrays. The CRISPR arrays allow the bacteria to "remember" the viruses (or closely related ones). If the viruses attack again, the bacteria produce RNA segments from the CRISPR arrays to target the viruses' DNA. The bacteria then use Cas9 or a similar enzyme to cut the DNA apart, which disables the virus."

Genetics Home Reference from the National Library of Medicine is useful resource to learn about how genes and health are connected.

DeBakey Papers Now NLM Digital Archive

Dr. Michael DeBakey, known for the coronary bypass, is now featured in the archives of the National Library of Medicine. Selections from the Michael E. DeBakey Papers collection, including publications, speeches, drawings, correspondence, portraits, oral history interviews and video recordings, can be freely viewed online. His advocacy is a big reason the National Library of Medicine exists today. NLM has also launched a fellowship program in his honor.

DeBakey “translated his expertise in the OR into political and policy capital on local, national and international levels to affect medical research funding, medical education and broader disease awareness” said Dr. Shelley McKellar, Hannah Chair in the History of Medicine at Western University in London, Canada, speaking at the first annual NLM Michael DeBakey Lecture in the History of Medicine on March 2, 2017.

From a story by Dana Talesnik, NLM in Focus, May 9, 2017.

NLM Associate Fellow Visits TSRHC Libraries

The TSRHC hospital libraries were visited by representatives of the National Library of Medicine today. Tyler Moses, an NLM Associate Fellow, came to north Texas to spend time at the National Network of Libraries South Central Region (NNLM SCR) headquarters. Dan Burgard is Director of the NNLM SCR program, which is based at the Lewis Library at UNT Health Science Center in Fort Worth and supports 5 states.

While at the hospital Moses and Burgard met with Mary Peters (Medical Library) and with Mary Anne Fernandez and Jill Johnson (Family Resource Center) to tour the Brandon Carrell Medical Library and the Christi Carter Urschel Family Resource Center. Moses has just completed her Fort Worth visit and will now visit the UT Southwestern Library in Dallas for several day

The NLM Associate Fellowship Program is a highly selective one year postgraduate training opportunity at the NLM in Bethesda, Maryland. Moses is one of only 4 fellows in the class of 2016-17. The program provides a broad foundation in heath sciences information services as preparation for future leadership roles in health sciences libraries and in health services research.

Eugene Garfield, a Pioneer in Information Science

Eugene Garfield can certainly be considered one of the giants of information science. Garfield’s life, as shared in his obituary by Subbiah Arunachala, is intertwined with the history of the development of machine indexing and use of the computer’s capability to enable access to scientific papers by exploring the basic tool of the citation.  This pioneer in information studies created Current Contents, Science Citation Index and his company ISI. He did groundwork that led to the Medical Subject Headings (MeSH). He made great leaps by recognizing the value of the citation itself and developing a way to make them more accessible to researchers.
