Our representative from Stat!Ref is coming to campus. Lauren will demonstrate the Stat!Ref platform and its features, which provide easy online access to a number of nursing and medical reference books. The titles included in our subscription include the most recent editions of:

The Merck Manual
Current Medical Diagnosis and Treatment
AHFS Drug Information
Olds’ Maternal-Newborn Nursing & Women’s Health Across the Lifespan

…And many others! To access Stat!Ref, select the nursing subject page from the links at the right, and scroll down to the “online encyclopedias and reference sources” section. Click on the Stat!Ref link.

Be sure to join us on May 12 for the demo of this useful resource.

As of this morning, the Cochrane Library is back up.  The publisher had server problems yesterday, which made the database inaccessible to us.  Please let me know if you have any problems with Cochrane.  Thanks!  Betsy

Attention, all! The Cochrane Library is currently undergoing some “essential maintenance” and is therefore inaccessible. Because the vendor didn’t notify us of the maintenance, we aren’t sure when it will be back up. Please contact me if you need to access information from Cochrane–there are other ways for some of the content. I will let you know when the database is back up.

Thanks, Betsy

As the semester comes to a close in the next few weeks, you may be putting the final touches on your term papers. Remember that you can use the tool RefWorks to automatically format your references into APA style! Use the link on the right under “Library Services” to access RefWorks. This guide, permanently linked on the Student Resources page, will help you export references from databases into RefWorks. You can organize your references into folders for different subjects, and then use the Bibliography menu to create a reference list for your paper. Please contact me or the students at the science reference desk if you have any questions about using RefWorks. Thanks! Betsy

I will be out of town for 10 days starting Saturday, March 8. I will return to the office on Wednesday, March 19. If you need research assistance while I’m gone, please contact the Science Reference Desk (information is to the left) or Richard Jensen, life sciences librarian. Richard’s email is richard_jensen@byu.edu, and his phone number is 422-6012. Thanks! Betsy
