By libsys, on May 29th, 2012% The Library’s subscription to UpToDate will end on May 31, 2012. Unfortunately, the cost to continue the subscription would be prohibitively expensive for the University Library to maintain.
The Library, in conjunction with the Medical Center, provides other quality point-of-care tools, which you can use instead. Find these point-of-care tools on the VIP Intranet Clinical Desktop and on the LLU Libraries Databases page:
DynaMed is an evidence-based clinical reference tool created by physicians for physicians and other health-care professionals for use primarily at the point-of-care. It contains clinically-organized summaries for over 3200 medical topics. DynaMed is updated daily and monitors over 500 medical journals and systematic evidence review databases in order to integrate new evidence within existing content.
MD Consult, reinforced by the First Consult iPad/iPhone app, can be used together for comprehensive clinical information—first, through the quick reference, point-of-care content of the First Consult iPad app, then, through the more in-depth reference content of MD Consult.
Micromedex in addition to comprehensive and reliable drug information provides both in-depth and summary clinical monographs through DISEASEDEX Emergency Medicine (evidence-based acute information) and DISEASEDEX General Medicine (evidence-based diagnosis and treatment information).
Unlike our UpToDate subscription, these are available from on- and off-campus and via mobile devices. Mobile Access instructions for these and other resources are available on the Library’s Mobile Access guide. For more information about library resources for clinicians, see the Clinicians Library User Guide.
By libnews, on November 10th, 2011% A search in the database STAT!Ref now also gives you results from TOXNET databases and four Centers for Disease Control resources; CDC Pink Book, CDC Yellow Book, The Community Guide, and Morbidity Mortality Weekly.
TOXNET, short for TOXicology Data NETwork, consists of many databases concerning toxicology, hazardous chemicals, environmental health and related areas. It is managed by the Toxicology and Environmental Health Information Program (TEHIP) in the Division of Specialized Information Services (SIS) of the National Library of Medicine (NLM). To learn more about TOXNET, check out the fact sheet from the U.S. National Library of Medicine.
STAT!Ref cross-searches the following TOXNET databases:
*Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB) *Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) *International Toxicity Estimates for Risk (ITER) *Chemical Carcinogenesis Research Information System (CCRIS) *Genetic Toxicology (GENE-TOX) *Tox Town® *Drugs and Lactation ( LacMed) *Carcingenic Potency Database (CPDB) *Comparative Toxicogenomics Database (CTD)
To access these resources, merely perform a search in STAT!Ref from the library databases as you normally would and look for the Additional Resources column on the left.

By libnews, on October 5th, 2011% If you have ever needed an image or graphic to use in a class, paper, or presentation, you have likely used Images.MD (now a part of the Medical and Life Science collection of images on Springer Images), an image database we have made available for some time. You now have another option. UpToDate, a database primarily used clinically, now offers a graphics search. Keep in mind that UpToDate is only available on campus. For more information, see their flyer below.

By libnews, on May 19th, 2011% Check out First Consult’s mobile app, available to students, staff and faculty of LLUAHSC. The mobile app is currently available for iPhone and iPad. It includes an alphabetical index of topics with an A-Z list for easy navigation as well as a search function. Information on a medical topic include Background, Diagnosis, Treatment, Outcomes, Prevention, and evidence-based references.
For information on accessing this app, and other mobile apps available to LLUAHSC students, staff, and faculty, please visit our Libguide, Mobile Access.

By libnews, on January 25th, 2011% We recently added Science.gov to our Libguide of free resources. Science.gov not only serves as a gateway to more than 42 scientific databases and more than 2000 scientific websites from organizations with 14 federal science agencies, it also finds science images. Images include animal and plant, weather and space, and earth and sun images and more. No registration is required. To search for images, merely select the Image Search link under Special Collections (bottom right).
