RefWorks has just implemented a new feature which allows you to attach images, articles, and other files to your citations. For instance, this will allow you to keep a copy of the full-text article with your citation and have it be accessible from any web-connected computer.

To attach a file, simply click on “Edit” to the right of each citation, look for the field labeled “Attachments,” and browse for and select the article that you want to attach. Multiple files can be attached to each citation. Once you attach the file, you can view it by clicking on “View” to the right of each citation and then selecting the file.

Each account can hold 100MB of files. If you have any questions or need additional storage space, please contact jonathan-koffel@uiowa.edu.

Recently, the John Martin Rare Book Room acquired a rare copy of Edward Tyson’s 1699 book, Orang-outang, sive, Homo sylvestris, or, The anatomy of a pygmie compared with that of a monkey, an ape, and a man… The book constitutes of the most important works in the history of comparative morphology.
Physician, Edward Tyson, studied at Oxford and Cambridge and was a frequent lecturer on anatomy; he made several important contributions to medicine including the discovery of the sebaceous glands of the corona glandis (“Tyson Glands”). As a hospital administrator, Tyson was responsible for introducing female nurses to Bethlehem Hospital. Tyson’s reputation, however, rests largely with his anatomical studies which, in addition to the present investigation, included the porpoise and the opossum.

The “Orang-Outang” Tyson describes is actually a less than mature male chimpanzee from Angola that died a few months after its arrival in London. Also, his use of the word “Pygmie” denotes a group of small mythical beings whose supposed existence Tyson attributes to sightings of chimpanzees made in antiquity. Tyson’s “Pygmie” is completely unrelated to the name now given to the short-statured groups of people in Central Africa whose existence was unknown to Europeans until the 19th century.

As the first to dissect this species, Tyson noted the great morphological similarity between the animal and humans and termed it “an intermediate link” between ape and man. In doing so, Tyson did not mean to suggest a common lineage or descent but rather was referring to the “links” in the “Great Chain of Being,” the classical conception of a hierarchical universe from the simplest elements through the plants and animals and culminating in humans and finally God.

Tyson writes that the animal is “…of a higher degree above any of [the other apes and monkeys] we yet know, and more resembling a man. But at the same time I take him to be wholly a Brute, tho’ in the formation of the of the Body, and in the sensitive or brutal soul, it may be, more resembling a man, than another other anima; so that in this chain of the creation, as in intermediate link between an ape and a man, I would place our Pygmie.” The remarkable plates are executed in a style very similar to those in Vesalius’ Fabrica further underscoring Tyson’s thesis.

The copy in the John Martin Rare Book Room was once owned by William Musgrave (ca 1655-1721), former secretary of the Royal Society, physician, and noted historian. The skeleton of the chimpanzee dissected by Tyson remains on display at The Natural History Museum of London.

The University of Iowa Libraries is excited to announce its purchase of a site license to the citation management software RefWorks. RefWorks allows you to import citations from databases like Academic Search Elite, organize your citations and share them with colleagues, as well as insert your citations into papers and format them in any of hundreds of bibliographic styles.

You may have heard of or used other citation management software such as Endnote or ProCite. RefWorks contains the same core functionality as these programs, but it has the advantage of being web-based, so your citations can be accessed from any internet-connected computer, not just the one where the software is installed. If you are currently using one of these other pieces of software and want to try RefWorks, your citations can easily be imported into RefWorks.

You can create as many RefWorks accounts as you need. For instance, create a personal account as well as one for your department, lab, or team. RefWorks makes it easy to share your citations with colleagues at the University of Iowa and beyond.

If you would like to learn more about RefWorks, please let us know. One of our librarians would be happy to come to your office to show you the software one-on-one. More information about RefWorks (including a link to set up your own account) can be found at http://www.lib.uiowa.edu/find/refworks.
