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.

The Encyclopedia of Biostatistics, 2nd Edition offers the definitive reference to support the development and use of statistical methods for addressing the problems and critical issues that confront scientists, practitioners and policy makers engaged in the life and medical sciences. With the growing importance and application of biostatistics, reflected in the increasing number of statisticians employed in the pharmaceutical industry, healthcare sector and medical schools, this new edition will find widespread application in basic medical science; the planning, financing and distribution of health care; and the measurement of health care status and progress in the population.

From the Gold Standard website: “The USMLE CDs are not lectures, they are learning & memorizing media, using a detail-by-detail, question-pause-answer technique based on cutting-edge learning theory for adult learners.”

You may listen to samples on the Gold Standard web site: http://www.boardprep.net/demotapes.html

Hardin Library recently acquired access to the Global Health (1973+) and Global Health Archives (1910-1972) databases through Ovid.

• Over 900,000 records, 95% of which contain informative abstracts
• 50,000 records selected, abstracted and classified by subject specialists every year
• Information from more than 3500 serials, books, book chapters, conference proceedings, patents, theses, electronic only publications and other difficult-to-obtain sources from more than 125 countries
• Global coverage of both the developing and developed world with over 50 languages translated into English
• Information of which 40% is unique to Global Health

Access to the CINAHL (Nursing) database will be switching from OVID to EBSCO beginning July 1, 2005. EBSCO bought the CINAHL database several years ago and has added some new and neat features and also a Pre-CINAHL database. These new features/files are not available from OVID, which is why we are making this switch.

Our new EBSCO access has recently been established and you can see and use it at: http://purl.lib.uiowa.edu/ebsco/cinahl. The Libraries’ offers a variety of databases through the EBSCO interface, so many users may already be familiar with the look and feel of this interface.

Hardin staff is available to provide individual or group assistance in transitioning to EBSCO CINAHL. To arrange a transition session contact the Hardin Library Education Team at 5-9151 or hlhsed@uiowa.edu.
