Library Resources to Make Your Work Life Easier

Not everyone has had the opportunity to get oriented to our Library Resources, so we wanted to take a moment to show you what’s available :



How to get there : The SourceDepartments & Intranets  > Library
Consider adding this to your Source Favorites on the left side-bar. 
·         Our contact info is on the right side.
·         If you use the PubMed link on the library pages, it will tap into our full-text offerings.
·         If you can’t get to a full-text article, send us the citations and we’ll get them for you.  We have connections all the way up to the National Library of Medicine, and it won’t cost you anything! 
·         We offer a current awareness service so you can keep up with your favorite professional journals.  Just let me know what titles you’re interested in.  For each new issue, you’ll get an email with links to the current full-text articles. 

Physician & Provider ToolBox – is filled with tools and resources most helpful to a busy Provider seeing patients, including tools for
·         Point-of-Care  (Clinical Key, AccessMedicine, Harrison’s Online, Medscape, Ferri’s Clinical Advisor)
·         Access to over 1500 eBooks, full-text articles
·         Patient Education
·         Mobile Apps

There’s a Recorded WebEx with an introductory Tour to The Provider ToolBox.  It will be 20 minutes well spent.

This customizes the Library pages for Physicians & Providers.

The tabs across the top lead to more tools for :
                Drug Info
                Diagnosis
                Patient Education

How to get there :
The Source  > Links & Resources > Library > Provider Tool Box

Consider adding this page to your Source Favorites.   

Clinical Key with FirstConsult and Procedures Consult
There’s also a Search Tips Page for Clinical Key, filled with useful articles and tutorials and videos to help you get the most out of it. 
                FirstConsult is similar to UptoDate, by offering review articles on 1400 primary care topics, including current evidence, treatment and dosing info, and more.
                ProceduresConsult is like YouTube for Medicine.  It’s great if you need to review a procedure before you have to do it.  It provides a web video, along with a complete write-up of the procedure, including coding info.
                Clinical Key includes 1100+ medical eBooks, and 500+ eJournals. 

Nursing Reference Center – Point-of-Care tool for Nursing.  Great for short disease overviews, nursing procedures, evidence based practice care sheets, patient education, and CEUs.       See a brief overview video (6 min.). 
                Nursing Reference Center Support Page

We would be more than happy to give you a personal tour of all these resources, designed to make your work life easier.  Contact Your Librarians for an appointment.
