    New E-Journals List

    Check out the new link on the Library’s webpage: Electronic Journals List.

    The List includes titles that are included in INNOPAC, the Library’s Catalog, and titles that we have access to through consortial resources that are considered “out-of-scope” like art, business, or any non-health sciences title.

    Moving Walls

    Yes, the temporary plywood wall at the Isché Library is much closer to the main elevator doors. So after moving 3 feet back, the wall has now walked 6 feet forward. Stay tuned for more progress on the Library Commons…

    Videos available for Journal of Periodontology

    Do you want to see Journal of Periodontology (JOP) manuscripts come to life? That option is now available through supplementary videos in the online Journal. Visit the online Journal Web site to view our first video by Dr. Dan Holtzclaw, based on the case report “Alternative Anesthetic Technique for Maxillary Periodontal Surgery,” published in the September 2008 issue.

    Select authors will be invited to produce 3- to 5- minute videos to supplement material published in their peer-reviewed manuscripts. Videos will be linked to the published paper and can be viewed by selecting the hyperlink “supplementary material” located under the article title in the online Table of Contents. Manuscripts featuring a video will be indicated by an icon within the Table of Contents.

    Visit joponline.org often to see exciting new additions! Launching soon: supplementary PowerPoint presentations with audio.

    You can also access the video through the Library Catalog by looking up Journal of Periodontology and displaying the full text of the journal.
