Welcome to the new faculty, staff, and students who are joining the DUMC community this summer. Our Library has a lot to offer through its dynamic Website, journals and databases, numerous online books, and services delivered by our competent and highly qualified staff. Those who are returning will also find a number of new initiatives underway.
For the last several years, we have been thinking about our Library’s future, exploring new roles and new technologies, and making sure our services and resources reflect your information needs. We have developed new strategic goals (http://www.mclibrary.duke.edu/about/strategicgoals.pdf) for the coming year and have explored the vision of where the Medical Center Library and most libraries may be in five and ten years. As a result of this strategic planning and our focus on the needs of Duke Medicine, steps have already been taken to add new digital materials and technology tools. Our next step is to evaluate and realign our services as well.
In addition, the Library Space Planning Committee has been thinking about our facility and what it should support in the future. The Committee released its report at the end of June, and it can be viewed on our Website at (http://www.mclibrary.duke.edu/about/spaceplan). The final recommendations called for an expanded integration of educational activities and resources into the facility, coupled with instructional and multimedia technologies. The overall concept is to create a “ Knowledge and Learning Center,” while continuing to offer access to Library resources and services. We will be forming focus groups to discuss what you, our patrons, want and need from the Library and this new center. If you would like to share your opinions, please contact me at thibo001@mc.duke.edu.
Planning has not been our only activity. We have also added a number of resources to lead us closer to our future vision.

Ovid Technologies has a new interface! If you are a regular user of Ovid MEDLINE, Ageline, Books@Ovid, CINAHL, EBM Reviews, Health and Psychosocial Instruments (HAPI), International Pharmaceutical Abstracts, Journals@Ovid, PsycINFO, or SPORTDiscus, you will notice more color and graphics on the search interface. The new color scheme, consisting of a white background with blue, green, and orange accents, adds contrast and a stronger “Web” feel to the standard Ovid search screen.
While the databases largely function the same as they did before the new interface, Ovid MEDLINE offers three new features designed to help you get to article citations quickly.
Find Similar
This link appears below each citation on the results list after you have run a search. Clicking on it searches for related articles using an algorithm based in part on keywords.
Find Citing Articles
This option also appears below each citation on the results list after you have run a search. Clicking on this link takes you to articles available through Journals@Ovid that cite the article. Please note: This is not a full count of articles that cite a particular article. It only includes articles from those journals that are available through the Journals@Ovid platform. For a more accurate citation search, use ISI’s Web of Science database.
Find Citation
Located above the search box on the Main Search Page, this tabbed option allows you to link easily to a MEDLINE citation with only pieces of a citation, such as a author name and page number. Simply fill in the form with the parts of the citation you know and click on the orange “Search” button. To get to the full text of the article, follow the button.

Since its debut a year ago, the
Based on the OpenURL standard, the SFX program attempts to link together the Duke University Libraries’ disparate electronic and print subscriptions, which are created and made available by different publishers and vendors, and housed in proprietary systems that may not connect well to one another. For example, if you run a search in Ovid MEDLINE, you will retrieve citations for articles from many different journals. Before Get it at Duke, if you wanted to get to the full text of an article, you would have to go to the Duke Libraries Catalog and search for the journal title. Now you can simply click on the
What can be most confusing about the button is its name. Although the button may appear by a citation, it does not necessarily mean that the article is available at Duke, since the feature can only connect you to those articles for which Duke maintains subscriptions. If the full text of an article is not available, the menu will contain a link to request the article via Interlibrary Loan or to ask a librarian for help.

Carol Perryman, Triangle Research Libraries Network Doctoral Fellow, was awarded the first place Research Award for her paper, “Information Behaviors in an Online Smoking Cessation Community,” at the 2005 Medical Library Association Annual Meeting. Carol’s fellowship is being spent at the UNC Health Sciences Library and the Duke Medical Center Library.
DUMCL Online: Open 24-7!
http://www.mclibrary.duke.edu/Need to print the full text of a journal article from your home or office? Or are you looking for the electronic version of a medical textbook? Perhaps you need an image to use in your presentation. Or maybe you’re leaving Duke and need to know what resources are available for use in your private practice. Well, DUMCL Online, the Medical Center Library’s Website, has it all! And it’s only mouseclicks away. Take a look at what we have to offer.

button, which is the public face of a program called SFX, has helped to connect Library users with the full text of articles. Recently, the Library expanded the use of the SFX program into PubMed and Google Scholar. These new uses have raised the profile of Get it at Duke, as well as questions about how it works. button within Ovid MEDLINE to see a list of all the potential ways – electronic or print – that you can access the articles at Duke.
So what does do in PubMed that 
and 
can’t do? First, it provides links to ALL the ways you can potentially access the full text of articles from any of the Duke libraries. Second, it can directly connect you to an Interlibrary Loan form where you can request that the Library locate articles from journals that Duke does not subscribe to. (Note: there is a fee associated with this service.) provides one click access to the full text of an article, so it should remain your first choice when available.
While Google Scholar is freely available on the Internet, most of the results it finds are not. In order to get to the full text content, you must either pay for access yourself or be on the computer network of an institution that subscribes to the content. Since Duke libraries subscribe to thousands of electronic journals, we have enabled the SFX program to work in Google Scholar, which allows you to connect to the full text sources we have already paid for. If you click on the phrase “Duke Access” (located on the bottom line of the result citation), it will take you to a list of all the potential ways – electronic or print – that you can access the articles at Duke. For more information about Google Scholar, please see our newsletter article in the February 2005 issue.
