Link Resolver Tips: Scopus

If you are a frequent user of Scopus, then you might have noticed a new icon on the search results and article summary screens. This new icon is for the Library’s WebBridge Link Resolver service, and it lets you check if an article is available either electronically or in print through any of the myriad Library resources.

When you perform a search, you will see the link resolver icon with each citation on the results screen:

You will also see the icon when you view the abstract or summary of a citation:

When you click the “Check Full Text” icon, a new tab or window opens that provides your options to retrieve the article. If it is not available through the Library’s subscriptions or other readily-available sources, a link will be offered to request the article through the ILLiad Interlibrary Loan system.

Looking for more information or tips about the WebBridge Link Resolver? This page from the Library’s LibGuides can help you.

Friday Fun: sperm bags & the trachea that should have spoken up

Did you hear the one about the lady who hatched baby squid from her teeth? Disgusting, but true. A recent case study in the Journal of Parasitology reports on “Penetration of the oral mucosa by parasite-like sperm bags of squid: a case report in a Korean woman.”
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21834723

A 63-yr-old Korean woman experienced severe pain in her oral cavity immediately after eating a portion of parboiled squid along with its internal organs. She did not swallow the portion, but spat it out immediately. She complained of a pricking and foreign-body sensation in the oral cavity. Twelve small, white spindle-shaped, bug-like organisms stuck in the mucous membrane of the tongue, cheek, and gingiva were completely removed, along with the affected mucosa. On the basis of their morphology and the presence of the sperm bag, the foreign bodies were identified as squid spermatophores.

Then there’s the one about the medical student who rescued a body part from airport security. A professor at Bristol University, UK was attempting to transport a stem-cell generated trachea from England to Barcelona via airplane for a transplant operation, but was stopped by airport security because the container violated the liquid limit. A medical student with a pilot friend stepped in and flew the trachea privately to Spain in time for surgery, for a mere $21,000. The story and associated scientific articles can be found via NPR’s Health and Science blog.

Link Resolver Tips: ProQuest

If you use ProQuest Nursing and Allied Health Source you can check the availability of an article directly from the citation by using the WebBridge Link Resolver. There are two places in this database where you can find out whether the Library has access to an article electronically or in print.

First, when you perform a search you will see a link called “LSUHSC-NO check for full text” displayed next to all citations on the list of search results:

Additionally, you will see the familiar “Check Full Text” icon when you view the abstract or summary of an article:

?á

When you click either the “LSUHSC-NO check for full text” link or the “Check Full Text” icon, a new tab or window will open showing options where you can find the article for that citation. A link will be offered to request the article through the ILLiad Interlibrary Loan system if it is not available through any of the LibraryÔÇÖs subscriptions or other sources.

If you’d like more tips, tricks, or other information about the WebBridge Link Resolver, please check its LibGuides page.

Top 10 free iPad Medical Apps

Just in time for medical internships to begin July 1st, iMedicalApps.com ?áhas released a curated list of top 10 free iPad medical apps. Resources include AHRQ’S EPSS, MicroMedex, and MedScape. Notoriously missing is Epocrates.com. Why? Turns out they don’t even have a native app for iPad.

Check out the link for the entire list, short reviews and videos after the cut. (Users must ?álog in or create a free iMedicalApps account to view the videos, which this librarian finds highly annoying.)

Link Resolver Tips: EBSCOhost

Are you an avid searcher of CINAHL, Academic Search Complete, PsycInfo, or any of the other EBSCOhost databases available from the Library? Did you know the WebBridge Link Resolver that lets you check the availability of an article from a citation is also available in all of the EBSCOhost databases?

The “Check Full Text” icon is displayed in two places when using any EBSCOhost database. One is with the list of citations you see after you’ve performed a search or are browsing a publication:

The second place you will see the link resolver icon is when you’re viewing the abstract or summary of an article:

Whenever you click the “Check Full Text” icon, a new tab or window will open showing options where you can get the article (electronically or in the Library’s print collection). If the journal is not available through any of the Library’s subscriptions or other sources, a link will be provided that gives you the option to request the article through the ILLiad Interlibrary Loan system.

More information and tips are available on the WebBridge Link Resolver LibGuides page.

2 Minute Tip: Welcome to The JAMA Network

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association recently debuted a substantial redesign of its website for the first time since 2001.

When?áJAMA?áand the 9?áArchives?áJournals launched their website in 1999, smartphones had not been invented, Google was still a noun, Mark Zuckerberg was 15, and Steve Jobs was about to become CEO of Apple. While the journals transitioned to a new platform in 2001, most of them have not moved since. In the meantime, the web world evolved and in medicine ÔÇ£digitalÔÇØ became much more than part of the physical examination. Source

New features include a smarter search engine utilizing semantic technologies, more multimedia content, and enhanced CME. At 1:40, this overview of the new JAMA Network definitely qualifies as ?áa two minute tip!

2 Minute tips is a blog series where we bring you short video tutorials on various tools and resources in the library.

Link Resolver Tips: RefWorks

The WebBridge Link Resolver makes it easy to export citation information to your RefWorks account along with pointing you in the direction of the article you need. Whenever you click on the “Check Full Text” icon in PubMed, ProQuest Nursing and Allied Health Source, Scopus, Web of Science, or any of the EBSCOhost databases (CINAHL, Academic Search Complete, etc.), the new window/tab that opens showing any available sources for that article will always have a link to help you export the citation information to RefWorks:

When you click on the link you’ll be asked to provide your RefWorks Login Name and Password. Once you’ve logged in, you will see a screen confirming the citation was imported successfully.

The link resolver/RefWorks connection is not a one-way street, though. When you’re working with your RefWorks bibliographies, you will see the “Check Full Text” icon with all citations:

Clicking this icon gives you the same ability to check for any available sources for that citation as it does in other databases. However, this process relies upon the completeness and accuracy of the citation in your bibliography and sometimes incomplete citations cause an available source to not display. If this happens, remember you can always check the Library’s catalog or the Electronic Journals List. As a safeguard, interlibrary loan will not display as an option when using the link resolver from RefWorks, but you can always request a resource the Library does not own by using the ILLiad Interlibrary Loan service.

Do you need more information about RefWorks or would like to sign up for an account? This page can help and it also has a link to upcoming RefWorks classes. You can also find tips and information about the link resolver on the WebBridge Link Resolver LibGuides page.

EMBASE

Please Note: this is an old post from 2012, the Libraries restored access to EMBASE in July 2017.

LSUHSC Libraries no longer have access to the database EMBASE due to the high price and low use.
