Upcoming changes to First Consult
Some important and exciting changes to First Consult are coming soon. We are working to make First Consult an even more efficient and useful tool for clinicians and students to get evidence-based answers for the point of care.
First Consult will soon be provided as a fully integrated part of MD Consult, available for institutions, groups, and individuals to purchase in addition to their MD Consult subscription.
By making First Consult content available through the MD Consult interface, customers who have purchased both products will benefit in several ways by receiving the following:
* Access to a single, integrated resource that provides a complete clinical reference solution, combining evidence-based answers for the point of care with the highest quality, world-class, deep-reference information contained in leading medical texts and primary literature.
* Improved ease of use, taking advantage of MD Consult's new simplified and streamlined user interface and design.
* Enhanced search results with MD Consult's new smarter search that makes it easier to find the right information.
We have received significant input from customers regarding how we can make First Consult and MD Consult more valuable and easier to use. The feedback and suggestions have been very positive, and we look forward to providing an enhanced tool by which customers can efficiently find answers to pressing clinical questions and make better treatment decisions.
Several resources are available if you would like to learn more:
* A frequently asked questions document Microsoft Word icon provides more information about the upcoming changes.
* A downloadable slide presentation Microsoft PowerPoint icon includes an overview of the changes and some screenshots
A free webinar tour of the changes will be held October 16, 2007 at 4pm EDT. This 60-minute session will provide a tour of the changes and an opportunity for you to ask questions and learn more.
If you are unable to attend the webinar: The webinar will be recorded, and the archive will be available afterward to all who register. Register for the webinar, and you will receive an e-mail after October 16 with a link to view the archive.

ArtStor improves access for academic publishing
ARTstor Expands Accessibility to Images for Academic Publishing
In March 2007, ARTstor and The Metropolitan Museum of Art began a new collaboration, Images for Academic Publishing (IAP) that allowed scholars at ARTstor participating institutions to download and use, free of charge, high-resolution digital images for academic publications. Initially, nearly 1,700 images representative of the renowned Metropolitan Museum's encyclopedic collection became available through the ARTstor interface to users at all ARTstor participating institutions.
Access to IAP is now being extended to unaffiliated scholars, including those at institutions which do not license ARTstor. Scholars at participating ARTstor institutions are able to access these images through the ARTstor Digital Library. All other scholars can contact ARTstor or The Metropolitan Museum to be registered for free access to IAP.
Additional images will be added to IAP by The Metropolitan Museum of Art later this year and ARTstor is working with other museums and organizations to expand the content available through IAP.
ARTstor, a digital image library, was created in 2001 as a non-profit initiative of The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. It is an independent non-profit organization dedicated to serving education and scholarship in the arts and humanities. The more than 750 non-profit institutions currently participating in ARTstor are located in North America, Australia/New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and continental Europe.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art – founded in 1870 with a mission to collect, preserve, and display works of art spanning 5,000 years of world culture from every part of the globe, and to educate the public about art – is the most comprehensive art museum in the Western Hemisphere with a collection now including more than two million works of art.

New Content in Catalogue
Because we are asked for information on these collections so often, I'll be sending out notices when records are available in the catalogue. First up is...
American Film Scripts Online
To pull up a list in the catalogue search the phrase "american film scripts online". 568 hits ranging from Gunga Din to Boogie Nights.
Early Encounters in North America
Searching "early encounters in north america" brings up 161 records, but the real value is seen when searching an author with proper authorities, such as Catlin, George, 1796-1872.
E-versions, microforms, print, all gathered together...it's lovely.

New Product Announcement-->Illustrata
CSA illustrata, natural sciences
This is sooo cool you have to try it to believe it. Let's say a student/prof wants a graphic to illustrate grizzly bear range in the Rockies....well after a quick search they get a nice little map.
Then, what if they want an actual picture of a grizzly bear....well no problem.
We know that both students and instructors have a hard time finding graphics to use in the classroom, as well, the graphics in articles often contain key information that isn't captured in indexing and therefore searching. So I encourage you all to give this one a try and become more familiar with it.
PS: I did a search for "big foot", alas no pictures.
CSA Illustrata: Natural Sciences is interdisciplinary, covering a wide variety of journals from all major areas such as: biology, earth sciences, environmental studies, medical sciences, agriculture, fish and fisheries, education, geography, veterinary science, food and food industries, pharmacy and pharmacology, meteorology, public health and safety, water resources, conservation and forests and forestry. CSA Illustrata: Natural Sciences is the first in a series of CSA Illustrata databases of searchable tables, figures, graphs, charts and other illustrations from the scholarly research and technical literature. Coverage includes 1977 to current.

Three new tools-->new books list, books on order list, hooks to holdings in GBIP
Thanks primarily to David and Nella we have three new tools for leveraging collections information.
Please send me a note if you have any questions or would like to see any changes to these.
1. New Books List
2. Books on Order List
3. Hooks to holdings in Global Books in Print
1. New Books List (BETA)
Word of warning, this is in beta, so if you use the url in web pages or give it out, you'll need to send an updated url later when the permanent address is established.
To use:
go to http://www.ucalgary.ca/~ndlall/newbkform3.html
Note that you can set this up as an RSS feed. I've done this for Library Science and it works quite well.
2. Books ordered by fund (BETA)
Word of warning, this is in beta, so if you use the url in web pages or give it out, you'll need to send an updated url later when the permanent address is established.
The new workflows module on SIRSI doesn't provide a good listing of items ordered by fund (i.e., no titles!), as a workaround Nella is providing this report as an option
To use:
go to http://www.ucalgary.ca/~ndlall/getfundordersql.html
Pick your fund and get a report of the titles associated with that fund in the current fiscal cycle. So if it was received in a previous year, it won't show here.
If you need help remembering the fund or program codes, go to http://library.ucalgary.ca/libraryinformation/collectionsservices/librarycollectionsfunds.php
I haven't used the RSS feed option, let me know if it is problematic.
3. Hooks to holdings in Global Books In Print
Yay, this one isn't in BETA and should work just fine.
This works by clicking on the Search My Library's Catalogue tab.
For example, search "spanish inquisition" and a list of titles appears.
Select up to 5 titles.
Click the Search My Library's Catalogue tab.
A popup appears, press Go.
A list will display with either "not found" or with holdings information from our catalogue.

JSTOR upgrades its PDF's, highlights search terms, and links with ArtStor
Improved Article PDF Files
A new PDF format for downloading and printing articles has replaced the previous High Quality PDF format. This new format enables JSTOR users to "search" or "find" words and phrases within the PDF version of JSTOR articles, as well as copy and paste portions of text from them. In addition to these benefits, the new format facilitates the use of screen-reading software, such as JAWS for Windows. Moreover, PDF files in this new format are, on average, smaller in size than our current High Quality PDF files, which means that they can be downloaded more quickly and easily. We encourage you to try the new High Quality PDF files, especially if you have had printing or downloading difficulties in the past.
Search Term Highlighting
Search term highlighting is now available in JSTOR page images. When a user searches for a term and follows a link to an article from the results, the search terms will be highlighted in the article's page images. Along with the existing "Page of First Match" feature, this new highlighting allows users to see their search terms more easily within the context of the article text as they browse through the pages. If an individual prefers, search term highlighting may be “turned off” on the user preferences page.
JSTOR/ARTstor Searching
ARTstor, a non-profit initiative founded by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, provides a repository of hundreds of thousands of digital images and related data. Similar to JSTOR, ARTstor's mission is to serve the scholarly community through its collections. To enhance the benefits of these two resources and to enable researchers to discover useful content across all formats, JSTOR has developed a way to search both JSTOR and ARTstor content simultaneously.
Specifically, users have the opportunity to search JSTOR article content, JSTOR image captions, and metadata for ARTstor images. Search results pages are separated into three tabs — Articles, Images from Articles, and ARTstor Images — so that users can easily view and choose among their results. Article image thumbnails accompany the caption results, and ARTstor results contain title, creator, and date information. If your institution participates in ARTstor as well as JSTOR, you will also be able see ARTstor image thumbnails in your results and click to view the full-sized image and complete metadata through the ARTstor website. Users at non-participating institutions will be able to search and see the metadata, but not images, for ARTstor results.

Vetus Latina database
The huge panoply of Latin biblical texts which were in existence and use from the second century AD/CE until the time when the Vulgate became predominant are known under the common rubric of the Vetus Latina, or the Old Latin, Bible. The term Vetus Latina refers to all those biblical texts translated into Latin which are not found in the Vulgate. The textual tradition of the Vetus Latina is complex and incomplete. Because there are a limited number of extant manuscripts that haphazardly cover the biblical text the basic sources are biblical citations or allusions that are found within the writings of the Latin Fathers or Greek patristic authors who were translated at an early date into Latin.
This database contains every citation, listed by book, chapter and verse of the Bible. The citations can be searched individually or as a whole, following the biblical structure.
Within the application the complete repertorium of H.J. Frede (Kirchenschriftsteller - Verzeichnis und Sigel, Freiburg, 1995) can be consulted online, as well as its updates (R. Gryson)

Ut per litteras apostolicas : papal letters
La collection des CD-Rom Ut per litteras apostolicas... constitue la version électronique de la série des registres et lettres des papes des XIIIè et XIVè siècles, conservés aux Archives Secrètes Vaticanes à Rome. Cette série, éditée depuis 1883 par l’École française de Rome, puis en partenariat avec le CNRS, compte à ce jour quelque 80 volumes imprimés, reproduisant les lettres pontificales soit sous forme d’analyses, soit sous forme de transcriptions partielles ou exhaustives.
Database of Latin dictionaries
The purpose of this �Database of Latin Dictionaries� is to produce for scholars and students an online database comprising a large number of Latin dictionaries. The database will: continue to grow gradually and will comprise three kinds of dictionaries:
* dictionaries to assist translation from Latin into modern languages,
* dictionaries providing semantic and etymological explanations in Latin of Latin words
* historical Latin dictionaries.
The aim of the database is not only to integrate different types of Latin dictionaries, whether modern, medieval or early-modern, but also to build in links between these different tools. Where the dictionaries provide Latin terms and vernacular equivalents or explanations (whether in contemporary or historic forms of English, French or German, say), searches will be possible on both the Latin lemmata and the English, French or German lemmata. This database will provide an unsurpassed tool since all Latin word-forms that appear concretely in texts will have a link to entries in relevant dictionaries and from there the user can go and read the selected dictionary entry.
A �live link� to the Library of Latin Texts is available for all institutions subscribing to both online databases.
This link will enable the user who has conducted a search on a word in a dictionary within DLD to export this word automatically to its sister-database and thereby identify actual occurrences of the particular word in CLCLT in its actual context. Likewise, a user can select a word found in a text of CLCLT and automatically find entries on the word in the constituent dictionaries of the DLD.
Monumenta Germaniae Historica
The Monumenta Germaniae Historica (frequently abbreviated MGH in bibliographies and lists of sources) is a comprehensive series of carefully edited and published sources for the study of German history (broadly conceived) from the end of the Roman Empire to 1500.
The society to sponsor the series was established by the Prussian reformer Heinrich Friedrich Karl Freiherr vom Stein in 1819 and the first volumes appeared in 1826 and following years. The editor from 1826 until 1874 was Georg Heinrich Pertz, who was succeeded by Georg Waitz. Many eminent medievalists from Germany and, eventually, other countries, joined in the project of searching out and comparing manuscripts and producing scholarly editions. The motto chosen by Klein, Sanctus amor patriae dat animum ("Holy love for the fatherland gives the spirit") is an important example of the coincidence of Romantic nationalism and highly professional scholarship.
The collection consists of five main areas, Antiquitates, Diplomata, Epistolae, Leges, Scriptores as well as Necrologia. Many subsidiary series have also been established, including a series of more compact volumes for school use (Scriptores in usum scholarum) and special studies (MGH Schriften).
The project, one of the greatest group efforts of historical scholarship, continues in the 21st century. In 2004, the MGH, with the support of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, took a step which makes it even more extraordinary: all of its publications which have been in print for more than five years can now be read online, in photo-digital reproduction, via a link on the MGH homepage.
Bibliographie de civilisation medievale

New Product Announcement-->SCOPUS
Scopus
This is an important one, purchased through CRKN. It joins Google Scholar and Web of Science as general indexes that
employ citation tracking as sorting and searching strategies.
Try out some comparative searches, I found that all three products returned different results. I have to say I prefer the SCOPUS
interface, but others may prefer whats familiar. Still, even if you start with one, you may well find yourself using the others.
I've done a bit of reading and here are some key differences
Web of Science--goes back further, covers some humanities material
SCOPUS--strong for STM, includes books and conference proceedings in these areas
Google Scholar--quick start, uncovers the unexpected
