Micromedex 2.0 is now available for both the web and for mobile access

2010-08-27T09:14:00.001-04:00

Micromedex 2.0 provides direct web and mobile access to Micromedex drug information through a new user interface with a single search box.

New features include:

enhanced search capabilities
special tabs for high-usage tools
compatibility with iPhone, iPod Touch, BlackBerry smartphones, and other mobile devices.
New search functionality allows for multi-term search, predictive text, synonyms and suggestions for alternate spellings.
New single search box on every page
Highly used features — such as dosing calculators, Trissel’s IV compatibility, drug identification, and drug interaction checking — have been pulled into separate tabs so they can be accessed and used quickly.

Also, Micromedex 2.0 also simplifies how clinicians see results. The new 360-degree view of results provides a complete picture of all available information about a drug or condition on a single screen — including drug summaries, images, consults, comparative efficacy information, labeled and off-label indications, treatment options, and more.

NEJM Linking Issue

2010-07-29T12:16:00.000-04:00

We have received this notice from the New England Journal of Medicine about a problem with PubMed linking. You may still go directly to the NEJM at this link in the meantime. If you need assistance, please contact the Reference Desk at 336-713-7100 or email refdesk@wfubmc.edu

As part of our transition to our new website at NEJM.org, I want to let you know that article-level links from PubMed to the NEJM website have been temporarily removed while NLM updates the links to the new URL structure at the NEJM website.

When this process is complete the article-level links to the NEJM website will be restored.

ePocrates Online has been discontinued

2010-07-19T11:27:00.003-04:00

ePocrates Online has been discontinued. We have had a two year free license to help them evaluate the web site as it was being rolled out, but now the beta testing period is over and we will have to pay for future access.

Over the last two years this resource has received good but not outstanding usage and its clinical content cannot compare to similar content in other Library resources such as UpToDate and DynaMed.

Pharmacological information can be found in Micromedex as well as LexiComp (through UpToDate) and the drug monographs in AccessMedicine and MDConsult.

There is still the free pharmacological portion of ePocrates available. Instructions on how to download it will continue to be found on our Mobile Computing web page.

If you have any questions please contact David Stewart at dstewart@wfubmc.edu or at 6-4181.
