CardioSource Plus for institutions will be unavailable from Friday, May 10th until Tuesday, May 21st as the American College of Cardiology makes system wide upgrades to its digital infrastructure.  CardioSource Plus is expected to be back online no later than Tuesday, May 21.

Due to the ACC’s digital infrastructure improvements, all users visiting acc.org as of May 20, 2024 (and beyond) will need to change their password using the “Recover Password” function on the website. User names, if email addresses, will remain the same and not need to be changed. Usernames that are not email addresses will also need to be reset. ACC Member Care will be available to assist anyone with this as soon as the systems come back on line.

Congratulations on your approaching graduation from UT Southwestern Medical Center! As you start a new chapter in your professional career, most of you will have access to health sciences libraries and librarians. However, if you do not, then the Library has developed the Post-Graduation Library Toolkit with helpful links to libraries and resources. Popular resources include:

• Evidence-Based Practice/Guidelines
• PubMed – the handout on the PubMed Database Guide provides a quick refresh on how to search. Also, PubMed – Setting up Filters shows you how to customize your filters to streamline your search.
• National Library of Medicine’s Portal for Healthcare Professionals – links to information resources that are vetted by medical librarians for currency and accuracy.   

Questions? Reach out to your Regional Medical Library, which is part of the Network of the National Library of Medicine (NNLM). 

You are now able to get full access to the New York Times – including audio, games, and cooking apps – for up to four years when you create/connect a New York Times account with UT Southwestern’s institutional account. Please follow the steps below:

1. Go to accessnyt.com.
2. Search for and click the listing for “University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center – Dallas, TX”.
3. Follow the steps depending on if you are on or off-campus.

Important Notes

• If you have previously registered your email address on The New York Times site, you should click the “Already have an account? Log in here” link (below the “Create Account” button).
• Existing paid New York Times subscribers must cancel their paid subscription before authenticating via the school funded program.

During the registration process, users will be asked to self-identify as either a student or a faculty/staff member. Students will be asked for their graduation year and will have access until December 31 of that year once they complete the registration. Faculty/staff will have 4 years of full account access, after which they must re-authenticate by visiting accessnyt.com.

TurnItIn is now available in two systems: D2L and Microsoft Word 365. Everyone with a utsouthwestern.edu email address has access to “Draft Coach” in the Word 365 version.

The similarity report available in the two systems is the same; however, the main difference is that the D2L version provides a method for submitting a paper for a grade and for the paper to be graded. If you are just looking for a similarity score (i.e., a plagiarism checker), then Draft Coach may be easier to use.

Here are instructions for how to use each version.

Word 365

• Open Word 365 (Word Online) and paste the content of the trainee’s work into a blank document. (Note: If the trainee wrote it in Word 365, then you can probably just open the document directly if it was shared with you.)
• In the menu click on Turnitin. This menu option will appear at the far right after the Help menu and takes a minute or so to appear after starting Word.
• A new panel will open on the right side of the screen. The first time you use it, you will be prompted to log in and accept the license terms. In later use, you may be prompted to log into Word 365 or get a notice that authentication failed. (If authentication failed, click on re-try.)
• There are four tabs in the Draft Coach panel, one of which is Similarity. Click on it, and then click to run a similarity check.
• Once you confirm you will be asked to wait while the report is run. Then you can open the full report.
• The similarity report will show the information with potential similarity problems flagged. Each flagged section will include information on where the match was found.
• Important: You can only run 3 reports per document. If you need to immediately check another paper, simply open a new Word document, paste the content, and run the check.

D2L

• For faculty, you will need to submit your trainee’s Word or PDF document to the self-check assignment in the e-Teaching 101 course.
• After the document is submitted, you can go back into the submission and look at your similarity score.
• Clicking on the score will bring up a Feedback Studio tab.
• In Feedback Studio you can see all the text that Turnitin flagged as a potential similarity problem. Each flagged section will include information on where the match was found.
