The patient was General Leonard Wood, an energetic and tireless soldier, physician, Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army and and ultimately Governor of the Philippines. The operations resulted in Dr. Cushing removing a large meningeal tumor from Wood’s brain. Within months General Wood returned to full health and for the next seventeen years lived a productive, albeit at times tumultuous professional career. TIMELINE: 1898 – Major General Wood hits his head on a chandelier over a desk, resulting in a large bump on his skull that does not go away. 1901-1902 – Wood begins to experience a lack of sensation in his left foot. Numbness and cramping spread from his foot to ...

You can find the Advanced Search link right next to the query box. It is important to become familiar with PubMed’s Advanced Search because in the very near future the tabs for Limits, Preview/Index, History, Clipboard, and Details will be removed from the basic PubMed pages. History, Limits, Index of Fields, and a link to Details are available from the Advanced Search screen. A link for the Clipboard appears to the right of the search box on the PubMed screen when the Clipboard has content. Give it a try! Comments/questions? Contact Jan Glover.

The results of the 2006-2007 Yale School of Medicine Faculty survey were released in February 2008. The work-life survey asked faculty to rate their overall satisfaction with working at Yale and resources in support of their work. According to the survey, 92% of faculty members reported satisfaction with library resources. The survey was commissioned by the Office for Academic and Faculty Affairs at the Yale School of Medicine and developed by the Office of Institutional Research. The survey was administered to all School of Medicine ladder faculty who were appointed prior to January 1, 2006.  Data was collected from late October 2006 to early January 2007.

The reload, which occurs annually, allows the NLM to update the controlled language MeSH® thesaurus and make other updates to the database fields. While this maintenance is being performed, no new records are added to MEDLINE. Ovid has scheduled the November Week 2, 2007 as the last update for 2007, which will happen November 21. Since the data is not being loaded by the NLM, AutoAlert searches in MEDLINE will not be generated by Ovid.  AutoAlert searches will commence once Ovid receives and processes the new data.  The search results generated at that time will include all new data added since the previous update. You will continue to receive AutoAlerts that run in either PREMEDLINE alone ...

A critical review of the collections ensures the resources we acquire are meeting the research, patient care and education missions of the Medical School and the Yale-New Haven Medical Center. As you know we have moved to an online environment and receive few print journals. This evaluation ensures we are acquiring the electronic and print books, journals, clinical syntheses resources, and computer assisted instruction materials necessary for your work. If you have any additional requests for materials please contact Daniel.dollar@yale.edu or your department library liaison. Sincerely, R.

Librarians spend a great deal of time thinking about how to provide resources and services in anticipation of the information needs of library users. Without fully understanding the information needs of any group, the result is to offer library services and information sources that Librarians perceive are the users’ needs when in fact that may not be the case. And this is no different for the population of nurses that work in schools. For that reason the purpose of this project funded by the grant is to de...

The cost of electronic resources continues to rise precipitously, increasing 117% over the last 3 years. In spite of many cost-saving measures, the library is now forced to cancel many resources, including ejournals, to stay within its budget. We are carefully weighing journal rankings and usage and price data to earmark resources for cancellation.

The transition from print to electronic books and journals has impacted all library budgets. The electronic versions are much more expensive, since they are priced to compensate the publisher for the individual print subscriptions which will be cancelled. The library provides access to Yale University and the Yale-New Haven Medical Center, which saves Yale departments and faculty money, but places a huge burden on the library as the cost of eresources continues to rise precipitously.

Yale authors have a high acceptance rate and the costs keep increasing. The Medical Library and the Science Libraries joined BioMedCentral in 2003 to support the concept of “open access” (OA) publishing which is dedicated to making research freely available electronically. The libraries also had the option of subsidizing article charges for Yale authors in BMC publications and chose to fund Yale authors for 100% of the article charges. The libraries’ BioMedCentral membership represented an opportunity to test the technical feasibility and the business model of this OA publisher. While the technology proved acceptabl...

These moulages of prominent Yale Medical School faculty members, including departmental chairs and deans, were created in the 1950s by William Lawrence, dental surgeon and member of the Department of Surgery. They are life masks. Dr. Lawrence had his subjects lie down and he used a liquid film, otherwise used for impressions of teeth, over their faces. This layer was followed by gauze and a coating of warm plaster. Straws were inserted in the subjects’ nostrils to enable him to breathe. To counteract the uncomfortable nature of the procedure and to help the subjects relax, Dr. Lawrence suggest...

Since 2006, all deposited theses from each graduating medical class are available in PDF format on the Yale campus network, and most student authors have granted open access so that other students and researchers beyond Yale can apply and extend clinical and research knowledge.  Processing of the class of 2007 theses is taking place this summer. Because of the Open Access Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH) harvests locations from open access repositories on the web, these Yale theses are being discovered in indexes such as Google Scholar, Scirus, and ScientificCommons.
