AccessSurgery is organized around the ACGME's (Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education's) mandate for a Core Curriculum. AccessSurgery also helps surgical programs address two of the ACGME Core Competencies -- medical knowledge, and practice-based learning and improvement.

Key Features:

* View surgical videos on your iPod.
* Search for just videos, just images, or all media results.
* Download the free PDA diagnostic tool.
* Create your own Board Review test, then email results to your program director.
* Look up a symptom or disease in the DDx tool.
* Assess the extent of disease using cancer staging tables.

Wiley, Blackwell-on-Wiley, The Cochrane Library, Current Protocols and eBooks. We will
keep you posted.

Tuesday, July 1 1PM: Blackwell eJournals on Wiley remain unavailable while migration of subscription data continues. We are working with the publisher to restore access. We have no estimate from publisher for return of service. FindIt@Stanford links for Blackwell are broken, but please use the Stanford button in PubMed and click the "Email Lane" link to request articles needed urgently.

Tuesday, July 1 8AM: Blackwell eJournals on Wiley remain unavailable while migration of subscription data continues. This is a systemwide problem affecting most Blackwell titles. No estimate from publisher for return of service. FindIt@Stanford linking for Blackwell titles is out of service until access is restored.

Monday, June 30 2PM: Blackwell eJournals on Wiley remain unavailable while migration continues. No estimate from publisher for return of service. FindIt@Stanford linking for Blackwell titles is out of service until access is restored AND the links are updated for the new location at Wiley Interscience.

Monday, June 30 8AM: Wiley-Blackwell Synergy will remain unavailable while work continues to complete the transition of Blackwell content to the Wiley platform. Some Blackwell Synergy ejournals are not available; Wiley ejournals, Current Protocols, and Cochrane Library items we tested are available. No estimate from publisher for return of service.

5 PM June 27 - June 29, BOTH Blackwell Synergy & Wiley InterScience will be down

The original website was launched in late 1999 with the then-new frames technology on the web. The content represents a long-term research project conducted by John L. Wilson, former acting Dean of the School of Medicine and long-time historian in residence at Lane. Although Dr. Wilson passed away in 2001, his work continues to be a rich resource that highlights not only the School's early history but also Lane's historical and archival collections.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) implemented the Public Access Policy on January 11, 2008 (see NIH Public Access Law in a Nutshell).

They are seeking all comments and suggestions from the public, including all stakeholders, about the Public Access Policy. Among other issues, the NIH is particularly interested in information about the following:

1. Do you have recommendations for alternative implementation approaches to those already reflected in the NIH Public Access Policy?
2. In light of the change in law that makes NIH's public access policy mandatory, do you have recommendations for monitoring and ensuring compliance with the NIH Public Access Policy?
3. In addition to the information already posted, what additional information, training or communications related to the NIH Public Access Policy would be helpful to you?

To send your feedback or to see the comments so far, go to NIH Seeks Your Input

Researchers are required to deposit electronic copies of their peer-reviewed manuscripts in PubMed Central, the National Library of Medicine's online archive. Fulltext of the articles will become publicly available and searchable in PubMed Central no later than 12 months after publication in a journal. Official information on the new policy is available at NIH Public Access.

Specific instructions for depositing articles in PubMed Central to comply with the law are available in NIH Manuscript Submission Tutorials. You may be able to avoid this process if the journal automatically deposits submissions to PubMed Center; see the list of journals that do so.

Before signing any copyright agreements for your article, be sure that the publisher permits compliance with the new NIH public access policy. Specific journal's and publisher's policies on rights retention are available from SHERPA/Romeo. If there is a question about your rights, add the following language suggested by NIH to the publication agreement:

Journal acknowledges that Author retains the right to provide a copy of the final
manuscript to the NIH upon acceptance for Journal publication, for public
archiving in PubMed Central as soon as possible but no later than 12 months after
publication by Journal.

Starting February 1st, the Lane Library will be offering a service to retrieve complete patent documents to holders of a SUNet ID who are associated with the School of Medicine, free of charge.

Using Lane's DocXpress service, patrons will be able to request a patent and receive a PDF version of the document. See this FAQ for details.

The ACM Portal is one of the principal databases for computer and software engineering, drawing on more than 50 years of research published by ACM.

With the increasing cross-disciplinary nature of biomedical research, including such databases in one's searches is essential when investigating questions pertaining to e.g., instrumentation and data analysis methods.

For this reason, we have also added the SLAC Library's collection to metasearch, thus enabling cross-disciplinary searches involving questions related to molecular imaging and nuclear medicine, to take just two random examples.

Available immediately, SciFinder web version is a powerful Web-based search tool to query Chemical Abstracts'
vast databases of chemical, life sciences and patent data. With SciFinder web version, installing the client version of SciFinder is no longer necessary (though the client retains additional capabilities).

See FAQ for details, and note that you will need to register for an account prior to using it.

Last, if you are interested in seeing SciFinder web version in action, please consider registering for "Patent Data: What You Don't Know Will Cost You" . This upcoming class will focus on tools and techniques for searching the patent universe for scientific information.
