It looks like our LWW Health Library access has been restored. We are still seeing a few books listed in our collections that we shouldn’t be seeing, but the good news is access is mostly fully restored. LWW also opened up a few extra collections during the CovID-19 outbreak. We have extra access to the following collections through May 19th: Clerkship/Clinical Rotations, PA Rotations and Specialties, and Exercise Science. We will blog more about those and a few other things as soon as the details are wrapped up. Thanks to Ovid/LWW for offering us those extended trials during this challenging time.

The Library has added a small collection of new ebooks. These culturally and socially relevant titles are provided through the LOUIS Library Network and the Oxford Scholarship Online Evidence Based Selection program.
The functionality should stay the same, however there will be a few changes:
-The new site will only have the latest Basic and Clinical Science Course (BCSC) titles. The old editions will no longer be available.
-Personalized accounts, including bookmarks, highlights and notes created on the older titles can be accessed under the ‘My activity’ tab and downloaded as an excel file for the user’s reference.
-All books will be presented in chronological order of their publishing date.

We are cancelling the STAT!Ref dental ebook collection due to the very high cost and lack of funds. This collection will no longer be available in STAT!Ref as of July 1st. We are currently working on replacing the content in other online formats and/or in print, so some titles from the cancelled collection will eventually be available again. Please contact the Dental Library for a list of those titles, or for information on other related resources.
We received notification from McGraw-Hill Education that they will be doing scheduled server maintenance this weekend.
