The entire Hardin Library building, including the 24-hour study, is closed due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. The Hardin Library will re-open on August 17, 2020 at 7:30am. Access to the Hardin Library will be restricted to current University of Iowa faculty, students, and staff, and will require swiping in with an Iowa One Card or UIHC badge.
Hardin Library is providing most services remotely during this time including:
Last week, the new interface of PubMed became the default and now the UI Link button displays in this version. Although the changes to how PubMed works are not substantial, the functionality is improved for those who access through a mobile device.
In addition, there have been features added to improve the user friendliness of this resource: cite tool to help format references in common citation styles, improved page navigation, and permalinks to records to facilitate sharing or saving.
To learn more about the changes, please view this 10-minute video created by Jennifer Deberg, User Services Librarian at Hardin Library.
