1053px-NEJM_Logo.svgUT Southwestern Health Sciences Digital Library and Learning Center now offers online access to the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) Archives from 1812 to 1989. The NEJM Archive includes more than 150,000 articles, 8,600 issues, 478,000 pages, 85,316 images, and 610,000 references, so it is certain to include the information you need.

All articles have been scanned at high resolution; the earliest NEJM articles, published between 1812 and 1944, are presented as searchable PDFs. Articles published between 1945 and 1989 are presented just like current content, accompanied by the PDFs. Articles are fully searchable, tabbed for easy access, and available as PDFs or full-text HTML with downloadable graphics.  Where possible, NEJM has also added full issues and cover and advertising sections in order to showcase the print advertisements that were published in the original issue.

The NEJM Archives were purchased through our consortial partnership with the University of Texas System using Academic Library Collection Enhancement Program (ALCEP) funds allocated by the UT System Board of Regents for one-time collection purchases.

OMOTShowcase your artistic skills in the 15th annual On My Own Time Art Show, a regional art competition hosted by the Business Council for the Arts that features the creative abilities of business professionals throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Winners of the UT Southwestern competition will be showcased alongside winners from other D/FW participating companies.

For the 2015 show, employees can enter works in two main art categories:

  • Visual Art: includes works on canvas or paper, photography, sculpture, ceramics, jewelry, metalwork, mixed media, textiles, and fiber art.
  • Literary Art (new for 2015): includes short stories, poems, and creative non-fiction. In addition, UT Southwestern employees will have the opportunity to compete against other companies across the Metroplex. Selected literary works will appear in an On My Own Time journal and on the Business Council of the Arts website.

Submissions will also be accepted in a third, internal-only category: Sustainable Art, which must contain materials that have had a prior use before they were incorporated into the art work. Entries will be judged by a separate group of UT Southwestern judges, Green Champion volunteers, and employees from UTSW’s Sustainability program. Note: works that need maintenance or items that may decay will not be accepted. Entrants must specify this category when artwork is dropped off in the South Campus Library.

Starting July 27, UT Southwestern entries will be on display in the Health Sciences Digital Library and Learning Center on the South Campus. Art professionals chosen by the Business Council for the Arts will judge the Visual Art category entries and select honorable mention and first place winners. From the first place winners, judges will choose a “Best of Show” entry. UT Southwestern employees will have the opportunity to select a “People’s Choice” award in August.

First place winners from each category and the “Best of Show” selection will go to a region-wide show at NorthPark Center from September 23 – October 4, 2015.

Registration ends for all categories July 19. Visit the On My Own Time website for further information and to complete registration. Click on the “Artists” in the middle of the page and enter “creativity2015” as the password to gain access.
