The recently upgraded EndNote X6 provides flexible, time-saving tools for searching, organizing, and sharing your research; creating your bibliography; and writing your paper.  The Library offers two training sessions for beginners:

Beginning EndNote: Administrative and Research Professionals
Tuesday, January 15, 2013
1 – 2:30 p.m.
Library Informatics Classroom (Room E2.310A)
This 60-minute class is designed for users who are primary recipients of citation information (researchers and administrative assistants) and are tasked to collect citations, keep reference lists current, and update article submissions for researchers.

Beginning EndNote: Researchers
Thursday, February 21, 2013
10 – 11:30 a.m
Library Informatics Classroom (Room E2.310A)
This 90-minute class is designed for primary content searchers (faculty, fellows, graduate students) who use licensed databases such as Ovid MEDLINE, PubMed, and the Library’s full-text Electronic Journals A-Z.

Hands-on classes cover:

• Downloading citation information from online database searches
• Importing, organizing, and inserting references into Microsoft Word
• Downloading licensed PDFs to the citation automatically
• Organizing references, images, and PDFs
• Creating and modifying bibliographies in recommended publication formats without retyping

A rare 400-page, illustrated history of medicine in Dallas from 1841 to 1900 is now available for viewing on the Library’s web site.  The history was written in 1951 by a Dallas native for a master’s thesis at the University of Texas at Austin, and only four copies in print are known to exist. The author relied not only on printed source material, but also on interviews with long-time Dallas residents. The work is illustrated with portraits and photographs.

This document is housed in the Library’s History of Medicine Collection web site.

The Library is highlighting two useful databases for clients who will be leaving UT Southwestern and will no longer have access to the university’s full-text articles. Please be aware that these resources have a much narrower full-text range than what might be provided by medical libraries.

PubMed is a searchable citation database with more than 21 million biomedical literature items from MEDLINE, life science journals, and online books. Abstract, author, article title, journal title, and other identifying information make up the search results. Access to full-text articles is through links but varies by publisher. See the PubMed Quickstart Guide for more information.

PMC (formerly PubMed Central) is PubMed’s companion database: a free, full-text archive of biomedical and life sciences journal literature at the U.S. National Institutes of Health’s National Library of Medicine (NIH/NLM). Literature items are deposited by participating publishers, as well by authors whose manuscripts have been submitted in compliance with the NIH Public Access Policy and similar policies of other research funding agencies. See the User’s Guide or Journal List for more information.

For training at no charge before you leave, choose MEDLINE searching via PubMed from the individualized training page.
