Please visit the main Talbot Research Library page for all your research and information needs!
Don’t forget that we do literature searches! Topics that we recently searched include: influences of minority participation in clinical trials, baby powder and cancer causation, prophylactic ovariectomy, and PTCH gene mutations.
We can also create alerts so that you can keep up with the most current information in your field.
What is an alert?
An alert is a database service that delivers new content directly to your email or RSS feed. You can create an alert by saving a search in any of our databases and new content will be sent to you when it is available; alerts can also be set up to track what papers are being cited by others or to receive table of contents from your favorite journals.
How often can an alert be delivered?
You can choose to have your alerts sent on a specific day at daily, weekly or monthly intervals. The alert will only be sent if there is new content based on your alert preferences. Alerts can be deleted at any time.
Where does the alert go?
Alerts can be sent to email or fed to a RSS feed reader, such as Google Reader. The preferred format is specified when creating the alert.
Please contact the library at x2711, feel free to email me (kate.eckertATfccc.edu), or send a Meebo message, using the chat box on the right, with questions.
NIH public access policy as explained by the MLA
There has been a fair amount of confusion concerning the National Institute of Health public access policy law. Thankfully, the Medical Library Association recently created a document explaining the finer aspects of the policy. Once a recommendation, the policy was made into a law during the signing of the the 2009 Federal budget bill. The slides are geared towards librarians, but are free of library jargon, so they can be useful to most everyone.
It’s that new book smell.

New journals for a new year
Fox Chase staff can now access over 1700 titles published by Springer and 800 titles published by Wiley, two major scientific publishers. These opportunities are possible through our library’s membership in the NorthEast Research Libraries Consortium (NERL).
The Springer offering includes most titles published by Springer. The Wiley offering includes, in addition to our 32 core Wiley titles (like Cancer, Journal of Pathology, etc), access to Wiley’s Scientific, Technical, and Medicine (STM) Collection of approximately 800 titles. Both offerings greatly extend the library’s holdings in basic science, oncology, medicine, nursing, chemistry, statistics, and computing.
You may access these titles from our Journal Holdings list on the Talbot Research Library’s webpage.

New PubMed interface to roll out… today!
Apparently the new PubMed interface went live just a couple of hours ago. I used PubMed this morning and they hadn’t transitioned the site. So, check out the video tutorial I posted earlier to get a handle on the new redesign.
