Update Your MyNCBI Libraries to Take Advantage of "Free" Full-text Articles



 


My NCBI allows you to search PubMed and many of the other National Library of Medicine databases by filtering results to your personal preferences, and saving search results, among other things.   The Library LinkOut filters allow you to tap into Ministry Library and Badgerlink full-text holdings—for FREE!

If you use My NCBI, consider updating your Library LinkOut options to take advantage of Badgerlink and Ministry Library Services’ full-text offerings.

Here’s how :

Go to PubMed : http://pubmed.gov

Sign into My NCBI as you normally would.
            >My NCBI
            >NCBI Site Preferences
>Filters & Icons
            >Select LinkOut
                        > Select Libraries
Search for : Affinity / Ministry Health Care Library icon
                       and  WI Dept of Public Instruction (Badgerlink)

For screen shots leading you through the steps above, click here.

For more information about My NCBI and what it has to offer, click here.  

Many (not all) of the Publisher links will work at an Affinity / Ministry computer, because we’ve  subscribed to the journals.  However, we do not have access to every single article in the PubMed database.  If you do find a citation for which you are unable to get the full article, contact one of your Librarians.  We have additional options and can usually acquire a copy on your behalf, at no cost to you.

Introducing The Nursing Standards LibGuide


The Nursing Standards LibGuide pulls together some of the most-often used resources for developing and updating Nursing Standards, Policies and Procedures.  

As Your Librarian, I have been working with the various Standards Teams for more than 15 years.    I developed this tool to make it easier to find up-to-date and evidence-based info needed for Standards.   Consider it a Road Map to key resources for Nursing Standards. 

Tabs include :
•    Access to your Ministry Librarians
•    Nursing Procedures ebooks / books (Lippincott, etc)
•    Drug Info
•    Bright Ideas (Why recreate the wheel? IHI, Advisory Board, etc.)
•    Literature Review (Medline, CINAHL, and other journal indexes)
•    Getting to Full-text
•    Citing Sources
•    Policies (Affinity, Ministry)
•    Regulatory & Government (CMS, WI Board of Nursing, etc.)
•    SoCC Project Request Contacts
