10 Years!

It’s been 10 years that the Libraries have been creating content on this site! As a glance back to a decade ago, what did we publish on?

• AccessMedicine – still a great product
• AltHealthWatch – to which we’re still subscribed via EBSCOhost
• REMM – Radiation Emergency Medical Management, from NLM
• PDAs – OK that one hasn’t aged well…

Happy Anniversary to the Libraries News.

Reserve Anatomy Book Now Available as an Ebook

We are pleased to announce that The Developing Human: Clinically Oriented Embryology, 10th edition, is now available in an Ebook format.

From the record in the library catalog, click on the link for EBSCOhost Ebooks. We have 3 “copies” available, so we are allowed 3 concurrent online users.

The print edition is on reserve for ANAT 100 – Gross Anatomy and ANAT 101 – Human Prenatal Development.  But we think you’ll find the electronic edition to be much lighter.

Prosthetics & orthotics in clinical practice, by Bella J. May, is now available in print on the Isché Library Reserve shelves, Call Number: WE 172 M45 2011.
