Are you the new owner of a shiny new iPhone or other handheld device? Before you chuck your old phone or PDA in the garbage consider Palm’s Take Back and Recycling Program.
The Palm Take Back and Recycling Program strives to keep Palm Handhelds and Treo smartphones out of landfills- and they gladly take other companies’ devices and all related accessories.
Just place your handhelds, mobile phones and related accessories (chargers, headsets, memory cards) into a box large enough for you to safely send in all your retired mobile devices, apply the postage-paid mailing label, and put it in a mailbox or bring it to the post office. It’s free and a great way to reduce your carbon footprint.

A recent article in the Australian Family Physician recently gave this librarian a myocardial infarction.
Meet Dr Q.
When a patient asked his advice regarding the discontinuation of warfarin after an episode of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), he used Yahoo.com to find an answer PDF.
You might be thinking, “what’s so wrong with that?”
Two words: Ellen Roche
In 2001, Ellen Roche, a healthy, 24-year-old volunteer in an asthma study at Johns Hopkins University, died because a chemical she inhaled led to the progressive failure of her lungs and kidneys. In the aftermath, it came out that the researcher who conducted the experiment and the ethics panel that approved it allegedly overlooked numerous clues about the dangers of the chemical, hexamethonium, given to Roche to inhale.
So what resources did this researcher allegedly search?
Look no further than Google, Yahoo!, LookSmart, and GoTo.com.
As a health care professional, you should AT LEAST conduct a cursory search in PubMed. It’s free. It’s authoritative. And on the LSUHSC Library homepage, you can use our customized PubMed link to get ALOT of added content and full text that you’ll never see using Yahoo! or Google.
Plus, if you kill anyone you can at least testify during the malpractice suit to having searched the biomedical literature. In fact, the reference librarians here can even do a mediated search for you. All you have to do is pick it up…and use it.
It turns out the Library was running a different version of Vista then most of our students; the corrected version is now available on our website.
The Library now offers instructions for using its wireless network in 3 different formats: Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Intel PROSet. Choose the one that’s right for you!
Using Intel PROSet to control your wireless connections? The Library now has a set of instructions demonstrating the correct settings.
