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.

NLM Traveling Poster Exhibit: Graphic Medicine: Ill-Conceived & Well-Drawn!
The field of graphic medicine is an emerging genre of medical literature combining the art of comics and personal illness narratives. The topic will be explored in the National Library of Medicine Travelling Poster Exhibit on display April 29–June 8 at the Library (E2.200) in the Florence Building. The banner exhibition and companion website, “Graphic Medicine: Ill-Conceived & Well-Drawn!,” was curated by artist, educator, and New York Times bestselling-author and artist Ellen Forney.
Feeling creative? A coloring book with images taken from the rare Hebra’s Atlas of Skin Diseases will be available for download or pickup near the exhibit.
For more graphic medicine resources, visit the Library’s Medical Humanities Guide.

Post-Graduation Library Toolkit
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).
Try our Virtual Escape Room in honor of National Public Health Week
Kick off National Public Health Week by having some fun playing the Library’s Public Health Week Virtual Escape Room, which is “set” in the old Parkland Memorial Hospital building. Can you escape before the hospital is demolished?
Begun in 1995 and organized by the American Public Health Association, National Public Health Week – which is always held during the first full week in April – provides an opportunity to spread awareness of the field by acknowledging the many ways lives are touched by public health. This year’s theme is “Protecting, Connecting, and Thriving: We Are All Public Health” and highlights the impact that each person – whether a health professional or not – can have on public health. For information about the daily themes, check out the National Public Health Week website.
