Your HBLS librarians hope your semester is going well! Here are a few resources and tips to support your research and scholarship.
NIH Public Access Policy Compliance
Do you have questions about complying with the new NIH Public Access policy? Are you experiencing challenges with publishers regarding options for complying with requirements? HBLS’ librarian Andrew Creamer offered a recent workshop on journal article publishing pathways to comply with this new policy. View the recording online and take a deeper dive into the challenges some authors are experiencing in his blog post.
Evidence Synthesis Resources and Services
The HBLS Evidence Synthesis Service (ESS) team has created an extensive guide to evidence synthesis methodologies in the health sciences. It offers detailed explanations of essential steps along with links and tutorials. The ESS represents a redesign of our service model to better support the needs of the BioMed and SPH community. Our ESS guide outlines eligibility and service tiers.
New Textbooks and Study Materials in ClinicalKey
ClinicalKey now offers Study Resources, a suite of tools that includes a Bookshelf/StudyTools app for offline use. Study Resources includes dozens of textbooks, multimedia resources, board review materials, and flashcards. The web-based Bookshelf and mobile app let you create customized collections and download materials to read, highlight, and annotate. In addition, for medical students at the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University, Study Resources can be integrated with other curricular tools such as Clinical Anatomy and Clinical Pharmacology.
To access ClinicalKey Study Resources, the Bookshelf, and to download the desktop and mobile apps, begin by logging in to ClinicalKey with your single sign-on. Then login to your personal ClinicalKey account (or create one to get started).
