Come celebrate National Medical Librarians Month (NMLM) with the Medical Center Library & Archives during the month of October. Established by the Medical Library Association in 1997, NMLM highlights the abilities and accomplishments of our medical library staff and gives us a chance to illustrate how our expertise and work can positively impact the quality of medical care, education, and research at Duke Medicine. This month-long celebration will include a variety of activities, contests, and prizes.
Throughout the month we will focus on activities that emphasize how the Library and Archives’ services, resources, and staff help you to “Unlock the Door to Your Answers.” This year’s theme is a reminder that we are the key to quality information. If you need help, just ask!
To kick off our celebration, the Library will host a coffee break on Monday, October 1st, beginning at 9:00 am in the “Cyber Café” on the Entrance Level. Join us for bagels, donuts, juice, and coffee, sponsored by Elsevier. If you drop by the Library on Fridays around 2:00 pm, we’ll be serving popcorn.
During October, we will also be sponsoring contests where you can be a detective and help solve some picture puzzles. Every Monday, look for three “detectives” in the Library, who will have the puzzle clues and instructions on how to “give your answers.” Those who answer the puzzles correctly will be entered into a drawing at the end of the month for an iPod shuffle, courtesy of Ovid Technologies, Inc.
Be sure to come by the Library or check DUMCL Online at http://www.mclibrary.duke.edu for additional contests and surprises during the month.
We look forward to celebrating with you!

Being part of the larger University means that Duke Medicine has access to a number of specialized databases which are related to, but not focused on medicine. One such resource is IEEE Xplore, a full-text database that supports biomedical engineering research.
Produced by IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers), Xplore provides full-text access to journals, books, and conference proceedings published since 1988, and all current standards. Some selected titles go back to 1950. It has more than 1.6 million documents and includes highly-cited journals in the fields of electrical and electronics engineering, telecommunications, and medical imaging.
IEEE Xplore provides topical coverage of bioimaging, biomaterials, biomechanics, electrophysiology, computational modeling, robotics, and computer science. Features include the ability to:
Visit http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/Xplore/dynhome.jsp to review all the features and search the database.
- Perform basic, advanced, and author searches
- Browse by an alphabetic list of titles or by keyword
- Download citations into EndNote
- Receive email alerts of recently published tables of contents
Through the efforts of a library organization called the Carolina Consortium, institutions in North Carolina that are members of NC LIVE have been given the opportunity to upgrade to the most comprehensive version of EBSCO’s CINAHL database, “CINAHL Plus with Full Text.” This offer will enable the Medical Center Library to increase access to full-text electronic resources for the Duke Medicine community for a very reasonable cost.
CINAHL Plus with Full Text includes a number of online journals not currently available at Duke and offers deeper coverage of several existing titles. The database also contains electronic textbooks and browsable Evidence-Based Care Sheets and Quick Lesson CE topic reviews prepared by CINAHL Information Systems staff. The EBSCOhost search interface will essentially remain the same as the one we have been using since July, 2007. So look for even greater availability of full-text electronic content with the arrival of CINAHL Plus with Full Text in October.
Artist renderings of Duke Medical Center buildings are now part of the Medical Center Archives collection thanks to a donation from Facility Planning, Design and Construction. These approximately thirty-five paintings, drawings, and reproduced prints of building designs were once housed in a storage room in PG III near the ambulance bay.
Dawne Lucas, Archives Technical Services Coordinator, is responsible for overseeing the preservation of this architectural collection. “To care for such pieces of history takes work,” says Lucas. She has removed them from their original frames, is in the process of cleaning them, and will put them in large folders or cover them in archival corrugated boards to prevent further damage. Some of the drawings have tape on them, one is stuck to the glass of its frame, and some are attached to the foam board backing of the frames. “To extract the images would only damage them further,” Lucas says. Housing the drawings in the Archives will prolong their life and ensure that they are properly stored, enabling researchers to view renderings from the 1960s and '70s of specific buildings on the medical campus as they stood at the time.
There are quite a few buildings represented in this artistic collection (e.g., Alexander H. Sands, Nanaline Duke, Civitan, rehabilitation addition to Baker, etc.), and several firms, including David Hall Associates Architectural Arts and Ralph Johnson Associates. Many of the items make reference to the buildings’ original architects, namely Perkins & Will, John D. Latimer & Associates, and former University Architect James A. Ward. “It would be interesting to look at the artwork and then at the actual buildings and see how well they match,” says Lucas. Since campus and artistic trends are constantly changing, these relics represent a slice of time worth preserving.
This resource is designed to help faculty publish and share educational resources. Publications include tutorials, virtual patients, cases, lab manuals, assessment instruments, faculty development materials, etc., which cover the continuum of medical education from undergraduate and graduate, to continuing medical education. MedEdPORTAL contains descriptive information about published resources and indicates how these materials may be accessed or obtained.

Jessica Roseberry, Oral History Program Coordinator, Medical Center Archives, will present a paper at the National Oral History Association meeting in Oakland, CA, on October 26, 2007. Her topic will be “Women’s Voices at Duke University Medical Center: Transformations in a Medical Community.”
Pat Thibodeau, Associate Dean of Library Services & Archives, and Megan von Isenburg, Associate Director, Public Services, taught “Finding and Evaluating Health Information” at the main branch of the Durham County Public Library on Saturday, August 18, 2007. The hands-on class focused on giving community members the skills to evaluate health information on the Internet and to use reliable consumer health sites such as MedlinePlus.
