PubMed’s new interface is back, after a few technical issues Monday and Tuesday. The new look is streamlined, but all of the previous functionality is there — just click Advanced Search. The University of Washington has developed a great tipsheet comparing the old and new interfaces, and NLM has updated the help files found in PubMed to reflect the new version.

Questions? Give us a call at 335-9151 or email us at lib-hardin@uiowa.edu.

The Hardin Library will be on KCJJ (1630 AM) at noon today during a live interview at Bennigans at the Corralville Mall for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  The focus of the interview will be on MedlinePlus and the information that can be found on that website regarding breast cancer.  To find information on breast cancer in MedlinePlus, go to http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/breastcancer.html

Do you need to use PubMed but aren’t sure how to start?  Hardin Library has a free hands-on workshop to help you!

Not Just Another Pretty Face

Hardin Library’s newest exhibit traces the history of the dubious attempts to divine personality characteristics by analyzing the size, shape, structure, and composition of the human head.  It was Aristotle who coined the term, “physiognomy” to support his own writings and inclinations on the subject. Since that time the notion that character and personality are somehow imprinted in facial features has received considerable attention through a variety of approaches, nearly all of them unsupported by empirical evidence of any kind and many of them used for such nefarious purposes as racial stereotyping and the outright support of bigotry.  The exhibit is located near the 3rd floor entrance to the library.

Are you a healthcare employee having trouble accessing library resources?

You need to use your HawkID and password to access library resources as of August 4, 2009. 

The campus HawkID service is being restructured to meet UI Health Care security requirements, provide consistency of service, and to reduce the resources that are required to roll out new services. UI Health Care students and employees will now have two IDs: the HealthCareID for clinical information systems such as Epic, and the HawkID for University systems such as Employee Self Service, ISIS, ICON, and other non-clinical services.  

If you are a health care employee and you need to set up your password, you can do this online: https://login.uiowa.edu/uip/login.page?service=https://web.its.uiowa.edu/password/home.page

If you need assistance with your HawkID or password, please contact Information Technology Services.
