Faculty, come to a workshop in the City Tech Library and learn about using the PubMed database to find biomedical information. In this workshop we’ll provide an overview of PubMed from the National Library of Medicine, including its scope and content (e.g., how it differs from MEDLINE); building a search using keywords, MeSH terms, and other search tools; and accessing full-text articles in PubMed Central and City Tech Library databases.
Date: Wednesday, February 23rd
Time: 1 – 2 pm
Workshops are open to all City Tech faculty and staff. All workshops are held in our small classroom (Rm A441) on the 4th Fl. of the City Tech Library, Atrium, unless otherwise noted. RSVP is strongly suggested to Prof. Maura Smale, msmale@citytech.cuny.edu or 718-260-5748.

PubMed Now Indexes Videos of Experiments and Protocols in Life Sciences
For faculty who teach in the life sciences and use visual online resources to enhance learning, this will be of interest:
(from the Chronicle of Higher Ed. Wired Campus) PubMed Central, the National Library of Medicine’s online database, is now indexing videos from The Journal of Visualized Experiments. According to the publication’s official blog, JoVE is “the first video-journal to ever be accepted for publication in PubMed.”
The online, open-access journal publishes videos of experiments and protocols in the biological and life sciences and offers its video-articles to science bloggers to illustrate their posts. <full article>
