New DVD in the Library

2009-01-23T00:25:00-05:00

Immokalee U.S.A., a documentary by Georg Koszulinski. “Being an account of migrant farmworkers in the U.S.A.” (On reserve in the library. Call #: HD 1527.F6K86 2008)

Immokalee U.S.A. chronicles the daily experiences of six individuals who live and work in the migrant farming community of Immokalee, Florida. We hear much about illegal immigration yet most do not fully understand that men who come here often lose their wives, their children, and their country because they do not earn enough money to send back to their families. In spite of the pain, however, there is a strong feeling of community in Immolakee and the Guadalupe Center, a charitable organization, feeds the hungry each day, providing special meals for holidays like Thanksgiving.

PubMed Offers New Features

2008-09-26T14:38:31-04:00

PubMed’s most recent update features improved tools for locating articles and complying with the NIH Public Access Policy.

Advanced Search Mode: searches across multiple fields simultaneously and includes the view, combine, modify search histories and limits functions on the same page.

Drug Censor: links to evidence based medicine resources for searches on (some) drugs on the results page.
ATM (Automatic Term Mapping): new version shows how PubMed interpreted your search and displays MeSH terms from the “Details” tab.

Citation Sensor: automatically searches a name within a search without having to indicate that it is an author (au). For example, if you type in “Stone Chen 2008″ in the search box, the article written by Chen and Stone in 2008 will be displayed on top of the result page, highlighted in yellow background.

PMID: PMCID Converter http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/pmctopmid converts PubMed or PubMed Central ID to PMCID for citing papers in compliance with NIH grant application requirements.
