OpenAthens is the service we use for "remote access" - when you are away from the main campus you can still reach many of our electronic journals and books. This is a great little video that explains just what the service does. For more information or to request an account contact the library.

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 (5th ed, 2015) and a couple of very
new spine surgery books (Spine Surgery,
3rd ed., 2018, and Benzel’s
Spine Surgery, 4th ed., 2017).
In sports medicine they have a nice list of journal titles plus three
sports medicine books (Drez and Drez,
4th ed., 2015; Nuclear
Medicine and Radiologic Imaging in Sports Injuries, 2015; and Surgical Techniques of the Shoulder, Elbow,
and Knee in Sports Medicine, 2nd 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.
