2008 Issue

As of January 2009, CINAHL, the premier nursing and allied health bibliographic database, will be available only through the EBSCOhost search interface. Though the look and “feel” of the EBSCOhost interface is different from that of CINAHL’s current interface, Ovid, users will continue to have access to CINAHL’s familiar search tools. Below is a table listing the names (and functions) of selected search tools available in Ovid CINAHL, and their equivalents in EBSCOhost CINAHL.

To access CINAHL EBSCOhost, go to the HSLS home page. Type “CINAHL” into the search.HSLS text box and click on the Search button. At the top of your search results, find the HSLS Electronic Resources box – it will contain a link that takes you to EBSCOhost CINAHL.

Ovid CINAHL	Function	EBSCOhost CINAHL
Map term to subject heading	Find a CINAHL subject heading	Suggest subject terms
Explode	Expands a subject heading search to include more specific related subject headings	Explode
Focus	Limits search to records where the subject heading is a major focus of the article	Major concept
Scope	A brief definition of a subject heading	Scope
Subheadings	Limits search to records where the subject heading includes a chosen qualifier	Qualify subheadings
Limits	Limit results by publication date, language, etc.	Revise/Refine search
Search History	Displays all completed searches	Search History/Alerts
Results Manager	Print, email, save or export search results	Add to Folder
Saved Searches, Auto-alert (using Ovid account)	Save searches online for use at a later time	Saved Searches, Search Alerts, Journal Alerts (using ESCBOhost account)

If you would like additional tips on using CINAHL EBSCOhost, consider attending our new class “Transitioning to EBSCO CINAHL”.

Have you noticed the changes in PubMed? Below are several brief descriptions of these changes to help PubMed users optimize search results.

Full-Text Links

A new icon, visible in the Citation, Abstract, and AbstractPlus views, appears within PubMed to navigate users quickly to the full-text of an article. Clicking on the icon labeled “Links @ Pitt-UPMC” opens a new window including a link to the online full-text when available. If an online full-text version is not available links to PittCat or Document Delivery will appear. These links will allow users to search for a print version or order a copy of the article. Remember to access PubMed from the HSLS home page for these links to be visible.

Advanced Search (beta)

A beta Advanced Search was recently released as an option to search PubMed. According to wiktionary.org, beta is defined as “a development status given to a program or application that contains most of the major features, but is not yet complete. …”

Try this new option by clicking on the Advanced Search link next to the existing search box. Comments can be sent to NCBI via the “Write to the Help Desk” link at the bottom of the Advanced Search screen. Based on users’ comments and feedback, the effectiveness of the Advanced Search beta site will be evaluated. Read the NLM Technical Bulletin for more information.

Automatic Term Mapping

Automatic term mapping (ATM) is the “magic” that occurs behind the scenes of PubMed. Keywords typed into the search box are translated by ATM into statements designed to retrieve the most relevant citations. The way ATM translates has been enhanced so users can retrieve a known citation more easily. Read the NLM Technical Bulletin for more information.

Citation Sensor

Citation Sensor recognizes combinations of search terms that are characteristic of citation searching (volume/issue numbers, author names, journal titles, and publication dates). If search terms entered by the user invoke the Citation Sensor, a yellow box will appear at the top of the result list.

Title Sort

Title has been added to the PubMed Sort By menu. Users may now sort citations by publication date, first or last author, journal title, or article title.

You found the citation to that perfect article but are having problems linking to the full-text. Commonly asked questions regarding full-text retrieval are answered below.

The journal I need was not listed on the HSLS E-Journal list. Does this mean I don’t have access to it? Not necessarily. This list contains e-journal subscriptions licensed by HSLS or jointly by HSLS and the University Library System (ULS) as well as selected free resources. ULS also has subscriptions to other e-journals that can be accessed by Pitt and UPMC affiliated users. A print copy of the journal may also be available. Always consult PITTCat to determine if access to a journal is available.

The PubMed full-text link is not working. Does this mean I do not have access to this journal? Not necessarily. Always consult PITTCat to determine if access to a journal is available. Report broken links to a HSLS Technical Services librarian.

How do I use PITTCat to determine if I have access to a journal?
• Click on the PITTCat link from the HSLS home page
• Type the title of the journal into the Search Term box
• In the Search Type box select the option “Journal Title Begins with”
• Click the Search button

• Results of the PITTCat search will show if the journal is available at any Pitt library in electronic or print format

• Click on the full title link of the journal to display years available in print or to access the electronic version

In PITTCat I received the message “PITTCat found no records that matched your search” or Pitt does not have access to the volume or year of the journal I need. Now what? Copies of articles can be ordered by faculty, students and staff of the University of Pittsburgh schools of the health sciences and UPMC employees through the HSLS document delivery service. There is a $3.50 charge for each article ordered. Rush and priority delivery are also available at a higher rate.

Have you ever felt guilty about printing your lengthy PowerPoint presentation to proofread it? You won’t have to feel as culpable any longer. As of June 2008, Falk Library’s Computer and Media Center (CMC) is offering double-sided printing.

Print jobs will still be sent through the Pharos interface which has been the standard for years; however, the option for double-sided printing will now be available for any multi-page black/white document.

To print a document on the duplex printer:
– Select a printer
– Click on either the Properties or Preferences button
– A window will appear listing options for single or double sided printing. Choose Two-sided (Duplex) Printing and click Ok.

– After clicking Ok, you will return to the main print screen. Click Ok or Print to send your print job to the printer.

This printing option is made possible by a new HP black-and-white printer that is more efficient. It also benefits the environment by cutting paper usage in half.

Presentations

Barbara Epstein, HSLS director, presented a talk “Open Access and the New NIH Mandate” at West Virginia University on April 25, 2008.

Beginning in January 2009, CINAHL will be available exclusively through the EBSCOhost search interface – it will no longer be accessible via OVID. Here are some tips for making the transition.

Finding CINAHL EBSCOhost:
On the HSLS homepage, type “CINAHL” into the search.HSLS box and click search. At the top of your search results, look for the HSLS Electronic Resources box – it will contain a link that takes you to CINAHL EBSCOhost.

Using CINAHL EBSCOhost:
While the EBSCOhost search interface definitely has a different look and feel, you will still have access to all the CINAHL search tools available in OVID. When you first open CINAHL EBSCOhost, you will be sent to the Advanced Search interface. In this interface, you can map your search terms to subject headings, focus or explode the subject headings you choose, and use boolean operators to create complex search statements.

Once you have completed an initial search, a Refine Search tab or link will allow you to place limits (publication years, article type, article language) on your results.

If you create an EBSCOhost user account, you can save searches online and create auto-alerts (searches that are periodically re-run and sent to you). To find the full-text of articles, look for full-text links within the CINAHL records or use PittCat for the Health Sciences to run journal title searches on the citations of interest.

More help with CINAHL EBSCOhost:
If you would like additional tips on using CINAHL EBSCOhost, consider attending our new class “Transitioning to EBSCO CINAHL”. This class will include practice with the EBSCOhost search interface, using familiar search tools such as subject heading mapping, exploding, and focusing. Current users of Ovid CINAHL will find this class especially helpful.

I often encounter faculty members, researchers, and others who lament the fact that they rarely visit the library in person anymore, even though they are frequent users of our services and resources. There are lots of good reasons for this: schedules are crowded, offices are distant, or the weather is inclement. The most important explanation, of course, is that we’ve done such a good job of bringing the library to our users through licensed electronic journals and databases that users can find almost anything online. So is the library empty and deserted? Not at all!

The library is still a hub of activity. In 2006-07, the number of persons physically entering HSLS libraries rose to 512,236, up 9% from the previous year’s total of 469,996. We circulated 35,077 books. Librarians and information specialists taught 596 education sessions, attended by 8,216 people.

Students, post-docs, residents, and even a few faculty members and attending physicians spread out study materials on open tables or isolated carrels for a few hours of uninterrupted quiet time. They bring their own laptop to connect to the wireless network, borrow one of ours, or use other advanced technology in HSLS library computing facilities.

The group study rooms in Falk Library continue as popular meeting areas. Each of these four rooms is equipped with a large wall-mounted display monitor to use with personal or library laptop computers. From May 2007 to May 2008, there were a total of 1,781 bookings, and 5,745 hours of use.

We continue to review space usage in each HSLS library. Books that have not circulated and older journals are being removed to storage. Articles from journals in storage can be delivered to users electronically within one working day, and books can be sent to any library within the same time period.

In the coming year, Falk Library’s Rare Book Room will be renovated with new climate controls and lighting to protect these fragile materials from deterioration. In UPMC Shadyside’s library, a new conference room will be constructed for library instruction and use by other hospital groups. Planning for general upgrades in WPIC Library will begin shortly. Finally, we look forward to moving the Children’s Hospital Libraries into the new hospital under construction in Lawrenceville.

So come visit us and spend some time in an HSLS library – you won’t be lonely!

Scopus, an interdisciplinary database, recently added a Document Download Manager to automatically download and save the full-text of articles, with the click of a button. This new feature will save users valuable time.

Rather than clicking on the “Pitt-UPMC Full Text” icon for each article, simply place a check mark next to the citations and click the “download” button. Articles available through HSLS subscriptions or open access will automatically be retrieved and saved to your computer.

Scopus covers “more than 15,000 peer-reviewed journals in science, technology, medicine, and social sciences” and includes citation information for resources such as conference proceedings, trade publications, book series, and patents.

Other noteworthy features of Scopus include:

• Cited reference searching: shows the number of times (with citation) an article was cited since 1996, by journals included in the Scopus database.
• Scirus: Scopus simultaneously searches, through Scirus, “scientific Web resources” including researcher homepages, university sites, and pre-print server material.
• Alerts and RSS feeds can be created so that researchers can stay up-to-date on a topic or receive notification when an article has been cited.

To access this resource, type “Scopus” into the search.HSLS box on the HSLS homepage. For more information or assistance with searching, contact a reference librarian or view the Scopus tutorial page.

PubMed users will notice several recent changes in the search interface, including new HSLS full-text links and the inclusion of PubMed Central ID numbers, needed by researchers adhering to the NIH Public Access Policy.

Full-Text Links
New icons, visible in the Citation, Abstract, and AbstractPlus views, appear within PubMed to indicate HSLS holdings. These icons replace the darker purple ones that users may have become accustomed to in past years.

Click on this icon to access the full-text online version of articles that HSLS licenses.

If online access is not available, users can click on the HSLS In Print icon to check if HSLS has the article in print. The specific library location (ie: Falk or WPIC) will not be stated, however. This information can be determined by clicking the Library Catalog link at the bottom of the LinkOut screen and completing a search for the journal title in PITTCat.

PubMed Central ID (PMCID) Numbers
As of May 25, 2008, NIH applications, proposals, and progress reports must include the PMCID number when citing an article that falls under the policy and is authored or co-authored by the investigator, or arose from the investigator’s NIH award.
This PMCID appears in the AbstractPlus, Abstract, and Citation views of PubMed. Note that this number is different than the PMID number. Visit the technical bulletin for more information.

Study Collaborators Included in MEDLINE/PubMed
Beginning in March 2008, individual names, associated with group authors, are included in MEDLINE/PubMed as collaborators. This allows PubMed users to identify articles to which an individual has contributed, whether as author or as collaborator.

My NCBI Collections added to PubMed Send to Menu
My NCBI Collections is now available as a selection under PubMed results Send to menu. Sending results to a Collection was previously only available from the Clipboard. Selecting Send to Collections will display a pop-up box where users can either create a new collection or append an existing one. Note an NCBI account is required to save citations.
