Ovid Medical Resources for 2000

Several changes have been made to the medical electronic resources that UIC receives through Ovid for 2000. To access Ovid, click on the OVID icon on the Library's homepage at http://www.uic.edu/depts/lib/

Online Medical Books: 4 online nursing books are now available through Ovid. They can be found in the Ovid menu under "Primary Care Online-Nursing Textbooks": Lippincott's Manual of Nursing Practice Lippincott's Nursing Drug Guide Nursing Care Plans and Documentation Laboratory and Diagnostic Tests.

Online Medical Journals: 29 new titles have been added to UIC's list of electronic medical journals available through Ovid: American Journal of Epidemiology Angiology Annals of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences (4 users) Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology AWHONN Lifelines BioScience Clinical Diabetes Clinical Journal of Pain Clinical Pediatrics Dermatology Nursing Diagnostic Molecular Pathology FASEB Journal Health Care Management Review International Journal of STD & AIDS Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing Journal of Family Practice Journal of Nursing Care Quality Journal of Peptide Research Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology MCN: The American Journal of Maternal/Child nursing Molecular Endocrinology Nutrition Reviews Pharmacology & Toxicology Public Health Reports Topics in Emergency Medicine Topics in Geriatric Rehabilitation Topics in Health Information Management Vascular Surgery

The following titles are no longer available through Ovid for 2000. UIC is pursuing alternate subscriptions: Science Annals of Neurology Journal of Bone and Mineral Research

The electronic journal, Nature, has been dropped because of a 3-month publisher-imposed lag in permitting the journal to be issued electronically through Ovid. A subscription to Nature through Nature America is being negotiated so that current issues of the journal will be available electronically.

The following subscriptions have been dropped from Ovid for 2000 but are available through ECO in OCLC's FirstSearch database (http://www.uic.edu/depts/lib/sysdocs/oclc/ ): Anaesthesia Cancer Detection and Prevention Clinical and Experimental Dermatology Clinical and Experimental Immunology Clinical and Laboratory Haemotology Clinical Otolaryngology European Journal of Clinical Investigation Histopathology Immunology International Journal of Andrology Journal of Behavioral Medicine Scandinavian Journal of Immunology
