The document provides an orientation to library resources for biomedical informatics students. It summarizes that the library website and liaison contact information can be found on the library guide. Required textbooks for the program are listed on the guide, noting if electronic or print versions are available through the library. It describes how to authenticate and access electronic resources, and how to request chapters from print books through interlibrary loan. Finding journal articles and full text is covered, along with links to APA style resources and information on downloading Office 365 and Endnote software.

4. In the left column you will see the tab [Find
Books]if you hover on that tab, a drop-down
menu should appear and you should see a
listing for the [Winter 2018 Textbooks] which
I have annotated and hyperlinked

5. ◦ If the book is available from the Library electronically, I have hyperlinked the title of the book.
◦ ALSO the books make have a different number of simultaneous users. If there is a limit I
indicate that. That means that if you try the link and we only have 1 ‘copy’ of the book
available & someone else is using it, you may get a turn away notice.

6. When you try to access content that we license (and pay for) you will be
prompted to “authenticate” or log in to access any of the libraries’
electronic resources. You will use the 1st box.

7. If all of the copies of the ebook are in-use,
you will get a turnaway notice

8. As I indicated - we license
these books through different
eBook vendors and each title
may be on a different
‘platform’ or have a different
look & feel & capabilities
EX: We have unlimited users for this book
and the platform allows for a full 14 day
download.

9. Here is another required textbook but this time, the book
is not available electronically. It is in PRINT & on RESERVE which means
it can only be used in the Library.
For distance users….you can request a chapter via Interlibrary Loan
Reserve = Can’t Be Checked Out
You CAN Request a Chapter via ILL/Document Delivery
