No. 327.............................................December 2009
Expanded Hours - Restricted Access
Pat Thibodeau, Associate Dean for Library Services & Archives
The Medical Center Library has made big changes in its hours. A trial period began December 7, with a permanent change coming after the holidays on January 4. These changes will provide better access to Library resources, while creating a safer and more secure environment for patrons.
What are the major changes?- Library staff will be on duty Monday - Thursday until 7 pm and on Friday until 6 pm
- A security guard will keep the Library open after 6 pm and on weekends
- Access after 6 pm and on weekends will be restricted to Duke Medicine students, faculty, residents, housestaff, and clinical hospital staff
- Access will require a Duke Medicine ID badge
- If your badge does not work in the reader or if you need to use the research materials at the Library but you don't have access, you may request access by contacting the Library Service Desk staff at (919) 660-1100, Monday - Friday, 8 am - 5 pm. These arrangements MUST be made in advance.
| Library Staff on Duty Reference Services - 9 am to 5 pm |
Restricted Access - Duke ID Badge Reader ONLY Security Guard on Duty Self-checkout for Books |
|
| Monday - Thursday | 8 am to 7 pm Doors will lock at 6 pm for restricted access |
6 pm to 12 midnight |
| Friday | 8 am to 6 pm Doors will lock at 6 pm for restricted access |
6 pm to 12 midnight |
| Saturday | Not available | 12 noon to 8 pm |
| Sunday | Not available | 12 noon to 12 midnight |
Why are we doing this?
- Lost 7 Library staff positions this fiscal year
- Needed to further reduce the budget
- Ongoing demand for having longer weekday and better weekend hours
- Surveyed students to identify desired hours and services
- Fewer staff are available for daytime coverage due to downsizing
- Our highest usage is during weekday business hours
- Coverage until 7 pm will help those in off-campus locations, such PA and DPT students
- Restricted access by Duke ID badge and the use of a security guard are permanent changes
- The hours the Library will be open may vary depending on actual usage, which will be reviewed at three and six month intervals
- All Library facilities will be available including:
Group and individual study rooms
Computers and PIN stations
Book and journal collections
Copiers and printers - A self-service checkout station for books will be installed in December
- Conference room will be available if scheduled in advance
- Computer classroom will be unlocked for study groups, upon request

New changes are in effect at PubMed, the National Library of Medicine’s search interface for MEDLINE. Most of the features you are familiar with are still available, they just may be in a new place.
One notable change is that the tabs for Details, History, and Limits are no longer on your results page.
- To see how your search terms were mapped, look for the “Search Details” box on the right hand side of your results list. You may need to scroll down a bit as it is below other features such as “Also Try,” “Titles with Your Search Terms,” and “Find Related Data.” Details is also accessible on the Advanced Search screen.
- To combine search sets (formerly accomplished via the History tab), click on Advanced Search. If you do not see your full list of searches, click on "More History" to see your activity.
- To limit your search results to a specific age group, language, publication type, etc., click on Advanced Search. Options from the Limits tab are now included on the Advanced Search screen.
- Filters, such as the default filters for Review Articles, Systematic Reviews and dukemlib (articles available in print or electronically through the Duke Medical Library) are now located on the right hand side of the results screen. Customized MyNCBI filters are also located here when you are signed into your MyNCBI account.
- Suggested terms appear as you are typing terms into the search box. Note: These are not MeSH terms and thus should be used with caution. To find MeSH terms for your topic, change the database selection option from PubMed to MeSH on the drop-down menu on the results screen or click on the MeSH database link on the bottom of the Advanced Search page.
- The Single Citation Matcher is now linked from the main PubMed home screen. Additionally, the Library's links to the Single Citation Matcher remain functional.
More details are available at http://www.nlm.nih.gov/pubs/techbull/so09/so09_pm_redesign.html.

In order to make compliance with the Duke Health Technology Solutions policies for password security easier for the Library and for you, our Document Delivery/Interlibrary Loan (DD/ILL) system will introduce a new authentication method in 2010.
Beginning January 11th, you need to login to the DD/ILL service using your Duke Health Enterprise Active Directory (DHE AD) username and password. The DHE AD username and password are the same that you use for access to other Duke Medicine network resources, such as the Windows login, the Patient Information Network, VPN, browser, and Virtual PIN. This means you will have one fewer password to keep up with. When you change your DHE AD password, the change will be recognized immediately by our system, giving you secure access to your transaction history, personal information, and your preferences settings.
If you do not know your DHE username, or if you need help with your password, please call the DHTS Help Desk at (919) 684-2243.
How will you logon to the DD/ILL system starting January 11, 2010?- If your DD/ILL username matches your DHE username, the only change you will make is to use your DHE password. Once you are authenticated, you will be able to access all your records.
- If your DD/ILL username is different from your DHE username, you will need to re-register. Enter your DHE username and password on the Logon page (your old username and password will not work anymore). Once you are authenticated, you will be taken to a registration page. Please complete all the required fields with your current information. When you complete the form, you will be set to place new orders immediately. However, since you will have a new username, you will not be able to access your old orders until we merge your two accounts. Library staff will be notified when a new account is created, and we will match the information against all our existing accounts and merge them.
- If you are new to the DD/ILL system, just enter your DHE username and password at the Logon page. After completing the registration form, you will be able to place orders.

The role of a faculty member is a complex, multidimensional one that requires participation in scholarly and research endeavors, clinical practice, teaching and service. Duke University is known as an exceptional research institution, and its faculty are leading cutting-edge initiatives to transform the practice of health care. Enhanced preparation of faculty for our roles as teachers is a vital part of that mission.
As teachers, faculty are in the pivotal position of having a tremendous influence on the future development of their professions. Therefore the vital importance of pursuing excellence in our educational offerings cannot be overstated.
This Website has been created by the Consortium for Health Professions Educators to support health professions faculty and instructors at Duke in their efforts to enhance their pedagogical knowledge and skills. It provides links to information and internal and external resources to help faculty in many areas, including (but not limited to) the following:
- educational philosophy
- principles of learning
- course development
- designing effective classroom, laboratory, online, and clinical learning experiences for students
- innovative teaching strategies
- assessing student performance
- preparing effective professional presentations
- individuals to contact with questions regarding implementation of innovative strategies and utilization of teaching tools, including technology
The Website is considered to be a “living” resource that will change continually and to which each faculty member may contribute ideas, experiences, questions, resources, and so on. It is intended that this Website and the many resources it offers will help and encourage each faculty member to create effective and enriching teaching experiences, so that our learners will imbibe the best of what we have to offer. Duke University will be as well known for its excellence and innovation in teaching as it is for its leadership in research and clinical practice.
