Dietary Supplements Database

I just recently discovered the National Library of Medicine’s Dietary Supplements Labels Database while tooling around on the NLM site. Although most of the supplements haven’t been evaluated by the FDA, they have been used in clinical trials and other experiments and may offer important reference material to researchers.

Ingredients of dietary supplements in this database are linked to other National Library of Medicine databases such as MedlinePlus® and PubMed® to allow users to understand the characteristics of ingredients and view the results of research pertaining to them, including the following characteristics:

* Uses in humans
* Adverse effects
* Mechanism of action

Fair copyright in research works bill reintroduced

A bill that would ban policies similar to the NIH’s open access policy was reintroduced into Congress this month.

The bill resurfaces as proponents in the Association of American Publishers’ (AAP) Professional and Scholarly Publishing Division holds its annual conference today in Washington, DC. Although the text of HR 801 has yet to be posted online, those who have seen it say it has much the same text as HR 6845, which was the subject of a spirited hearing held before a Congressional subcommittee last year.

Historically significant journal added to PubMed Central

From the National Library of Medicine:

The National Medical Association (NMA), established in 1895, is the largest and oldest national organization representing African American physicians and allied health professionals in the United States. The JNMA was published quarterly from 1909 to 1938, bimonthly from 1940 to 1977, and monthly since 1978. The archive currently represents over 77,000 digitized pages of issues, cover to cover, through 2007. Current content will be coming at a later date.

More Endnote news!

EndNote X2 offers a wide breadth of new features and improvements, such as the Find Full Text option, faster online search options, and Smartgroup creation. If you have not upgraded to the new EndNote X2, you can do so by going to the library’s EndNote webpage. Click on “EndNote Installation” and enter your FoxNet ID and password (the one you use for email). On the left hand side, under Talbot Research Library and Software, click on either Version X2 for Macintosh or Windows, depending on your operating system.

Just as a reminder: EndNote has created patches for both the Window and Macintosh versions of the program which allow EndNote usage in different “modes”. New EndNote library modes enable you to choose the way you like to work. You can use the online search introduced in EndNote X2 that imports results automatically into your EndNote library, or the temporary online search that requires moving references to the permanent library.

To upgrade to the X2 patch, please check the following link for instruction. Note that the Macintosh version of the patch has additional step for updating the “Cite While You Write” option.

What’s new in the EndNote X2 update

from The EndNote website:

The temporary online search results are back! Now you can choose between having results automatically stored in the library or kept separate for more selectivity. Three new buttons above the Groups panel provide:

• Integrated Library & Online Search Mode—library groups and online search results are combined on this panel to simplify navigation. Online search results are saved directly into the open library.
• Local Library Mode—the focus on this panel is groups built from the EndNote library. The Online Search groups are not available. When initiating an online search from the Tools menu, the Groups pane display switches to Online Search Mode.
• Online Search Mode—only the Online Search groups are available. When downloading references from an online database, the references are stored in a temporary library much like in previous versions of EndNote. Those references you wish to keep can then be copied to a permanent EndNote library.
