UpToDate® is a comprehensive, clinically-oriented information resource, designed to give practical answers to clinicians at the point of care. UpToDate® recently released a new version with additional features:
UpToDate® topic reviews are written by clinicians for clinicians and are continually updated. Information is geared toward internal medicine and selected subspecialty practitioners. The content provides specific, practical recommendations for diagnosis and treatment; is comprehensive yet concise; and is fully referenced. The content also goes through an extensive peer review process to ensure that the information and recommendations are accurate and reliable.
Due to licensing restrictions, UpToDate® is available from on-campus or from the UT Southwestern University Hospitals only; it cannot be accessed from outside the UT Southwestern campus and University Hospitals, and VPN/EZProxy access is not allowed. UT Southwestern users who wish to use the Library-licensed UpToDate® must access it from within the Library or on another computer on the UT Southwestern campus network. Due to technical issues, on-campus wireless access is not available.
A list of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about UpToDate® is found on the Library’s Tutorials/Support page. Connect to UpToDate® on the Library Web site by using the “Quick Links” drop down menu.
Photos illustrating the evolution of the campus from 1943 to the present can be viewed in a Web exhibit linked from the Library Web site under “Highlights.” The exhibit includes 21 photos, beginning with an aerial view of the campus in 1952 when it was located on Oak Lawn Avenue near the intersection of Maple Avenue. Also from the 1950s is a photo showing the present South Campus before any buildings were on the site. The exhibit ends with a recent aerial view showing the entire campus area in 2008.
Most photos in the exhibit come from the Library’s UT Southwestern Archives collection. Photos in the Archives span the years from 1943 (when the medical school was founded) to the 1970s. Anyone with an interest in the history of UT Southwestern and its people is welcome to use the Archives, which also contain extensive holdings of publications by and about UT Southwestern, such as:
The Archives of St. Paul Hospital (now University Hospital – St. Paul), from its founding in the 1890s up through the recent past, have also been incorporated into the UT Southwestern Archives.
For more information about the Archives, visit the Archives page of the Library Web site, or contact Bill Maina, Archivist, by email or by phone at 214-648-2629. If you have UT Southwestern-related papers or photos that you would consider donating to the Archives, please contact Bill as well. The Library is actively adding material to the Archives.
NeoFax is a newly-added information resource designed to help clinicians and pharmacists accurately prescribe, formulate, and admininster essential drugs and parenteral nutrition solutions for infants.
Since commercially-available drugs are not tested on infants in the United States, more than 90 percent of drugs prescribed to infants are off-label. By providing complete neonatal drug information covering more than 180 substances, NeoFax help reduce medication errors and decreases time spent ordering and compounding.
Access this new resource on the Library Web site by using the “Search for” box, or from the UT Southwestern Clinical Portal page. Internet Explorer is the required browser; no other browsers are certified for this product. The Library license restricts use to UT Southwestern faculty, staff, students and contractors who are trained in the field for which the product is being utilized.
