On Monday, July 7th, the Library stairwell will be blocked by the construction crew. They will be taking out the large glass panels and replacing them with a wall. The work should last approximately 3 days. The Library elevator is available to travel between floors.

And for you Residents working the ER this weekend, maybe now is the time to review “Not another 4th of July report: uncommon blast injuries to the hand” from the Emergency Medicine Journal.

The Dental Library expanded their hours this week. The Dental Library is open on Sundays once again; it also now has evening hours until 10 p.m. Monday – Thursday.
We’re happy to report that Wiley and Blackwell journals are now back online after this weekend’s downtime. The most significant change you’ll notice is that the online versions of the Blackwell titles look like those from Wiley as they are all now available on the Interscience platform. There are a handful of titles that are experiencing some hiccups, but we’ve been assured by the folks at Wiley that they are feverishly working on solving the problems.
If you need any help with these or other titles, please do not hesitate to contact us.
PDA medical software provider Epocrates has produced a healthcare professional’s guide to choosing and using a mobile device. Although this guide is produced by a company that is trying to sell you something, it is still a decent introduction to mobile devices and the various jargon associated with them.

Wiley and Blackwell-Synergy journals will not be available this weekend, June 28-29. The Blackwell journals are moving to the Wiley Interscience site, with all content scheduled to be available by Monday, June 30. Unfortunately, we are unable to give specific times as to when this process will begin and when the journals will again be available.
We will keep you updated on any problems that might arise from this transition.
Catch the sounds in ‘Bump and Hustle’ and keep the music down!
A 2006 ASHA survey (that’s the American Speech and Hearing Association) indicated that 40% percent of students set their music players’ volumes too loud. In fact, a recent article in the Journal of Pediatrics found that most adolescents are aware that they listen to their music too loud, and (in the tradition of adolescents everywhere) really don’t care.
This online game from ASHA educates kids about the potential risk of hearing loss from unsafe usage of personal audio technology. The little buds even look like the headphones of an ipod. Cute!
