Info on the Go: Accessing Library Resources on Your Mobile Device

Tuesday, October 11th, 2011

You probably already knew that you can access all of your favorite Library resources from your home computer by setting up off-campus access, but did you know that you can also use your PDA or mobile device to access many of these resources?  Get the info you need wherever you are, from sources like:

  • PubMed
  • UpToDate
  • VisualDX
  • Micromedex
  • and more!

Mobile-enhanced versions of some sites are available, with a cleaner look and feel to make it easier to view content on your device.  Other resources require downloading an app; most are free.  Some sites may require a password, while others must be accessed after setting your device up for the Bruin Online VPN.  Once you’ve completed set up, you’ll be able to get the same full-text access that you get on your computer.

For more information about resources that are available on mobile devices, see the PDA Resources list from the Library’s Medicine Subject Guide.  Have a favorite mobile app or website that you don’t see on the list?  We want to hear about it!  Leave us a comment or email us, and we’ll add it to the list.

    National Library of Medicine Releases “Medicine in the Americas,” Featuring Digitized Versions of American Medical Books Dating Back to 1610

    Wednesday, May 25th, 2011

    The National Library of Medicine, the world’s largest medical library and a component of NIH, announces the release of “Medicine in the Americas.”   A digital resource encompassing over 300 early American printed books, Medicine in the Americas makes freely available original works demonstrating the evolution of American medicine from colonial frontier outposts of the 17th century to research hospitals of the 20th century.

    Drawing on the collections of NLM’s History of Medicine Division and including works from the United States, Latin America, the Caribbean and Canada, this initial release of Medicine in the Americas encompasses monographs dating from 1610 to 1865. Additional titles, dating up to 1920 and drawing further upon NLM’s comprehensive collection of early American printed books, will be available on an ongoing basis in the future.

    Medicine in the Americas will be of interest to scholars, educators, writers, students and others who wish to use primary historical materials to help expand knowledge of medical and public health history for the advancement of scholarship across the disciplines and for the education of the general public.

    Digital files created for Medicine in the Americas, reside in NLM’s “Digital Collections,” a repository for access to and preservation of digitized biomedical resources. Digital Collections allows rich searching, browsing and retrieval of monographs and films from NLM’s History of Medicine Division. Medicine in the Americas joins the recently launched collection, “The Public Health Film Goes to War,” as well as other digital resources, the digital files for which also reside in Digital Collections.

    Medicine in the Americas is made possible in part through the participation of the National Library of Medicine in the Medical Heritage Library, a digital curation collaborative supported by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and administered by the Open Knowledge Commons.

    Sample images from works in the Medicine in the Americas collection:

    Anatomical tables of the human body, William Cheselden, 1796

    Practical horse farrier, or, The traveller’s pocket companion: shewing the best method to preserve the horse in health…,William Carver, 1820.
