New NHS e-journals - a great Christmas present!

The East of England NHS libraries’ Christmas present is a new, wide selection of electronic journals.
63 new e-journals will be available online to all NHS staff in the East of England from 1st January 2008 - you can still log into http://journals.library.nhs.uk/ to see if the journal you need is available.

Something for all the NHS family
Carefully selected by East of England librarians to cover as many specialities and professions as possible, the journals range from Spine to Circulation and from American Journal of Occupational Therapy to Accident and Emergency Nursing. The New England Journal of Medicine and The Lancet are in there, and so is Journal of Advanced Nursing.

Also under the Christmas tree
The National Library for Health is revamping its collections, so from January the whole country will be able to use the Journal of the American Medical Association and its Archives journals.

They’re also buying the BMJ collection from April - that’s 21 journals including the BMJ itself - but here in the East we’re topping that up so that you can start using them wherever you are on New Year’s Day!

Non-medical staff aren’t forgotten nationally, either - hundreds of journals indexed in CINAHL will be available full text online from April 2008. And the Proquest database of 1700 journals, which the national library has to cut to afford the bigger journals, will still be available in the East for the year to come.

Unwrapping the presents
All you need to get in to these journals, from any internet-connected computer, is an NHS Athens password. You can view all the journals involved from http://www.eel.nhs.uk/eel/whatsinthebox.htm.

Staff at the Medical Library are always available to give you any help you need.
Happy Christmas!

• Go to the initial Google Scholar search screen
• Click on the preferences link by the search box.
• Follow the instructions under 'library links' and search for ejournals@cambridge.
• A list of linking options should now appear
• Select ejournals@cambridge and save your selection

Similar links have been activated in other abstract and index database platforms subscribed to by Cambridge University Library, including Cambridge Scientific Abstracts, Ovid and ISI Web of Science / Knowledge.

More information on ejournals@cambridge linking can be found on the help pages.

Our new http://sfx7.exlibrisgroup.com/cambridge/azA-Z list is also available for preview.

University ATHENS – Major changes to access control to electronic resources

From September 2007 Cambridge University Library and the University Computing Service will be introducing a replacement for the ATHENS authentication system.

Although current unexpired ATHENS accounts will continue to work during this Academic Year the University will not create or distribute any new ATHENS accounts. All new users will use RAVEN to authenticate themselves as current staff or students of the University and obtain access to ATHENS protected services. Existing ATHENS users are encouraged to move to using RAVEN during this year.

PLEASE NOTE THIS SERVICE IS NOT YET FULLY AVAILABLE and until further notice you may continue to contact lib-athens@lists.cam.ac.uk regarding ATHENS account maintenance.RAVEN is already used for access to certain electronic resources as indicated on the Electronic Resources database. You should continue to follow the access routes indicated on the University Library Electronic Services webpages.

This change is part of a national strategy by the JISC on behalf of Higher and Further Education to take advantage of new technology and international standards and adoption of a “federated” approach to access management. For the end user one immediate benefit will be the need to remember one less password.

ATHENS protected resources will continue to be available via a “Gateway” service until at least 2011 which will enable you to login to the MyATHENS webpage and navigate to ATHENS protected services using your RAVEN account rather than your old ATHENS account. However previously set personal preferences will not be carried forward to your new “identity” as established by the Gateway and you will need to reset your customisations.

Contact: email: lib-raven@lists.cam.ac.uk

Answers to Frequently Asked Questions about ATHENS & RAVEN are available here.

Further information on JISC and the UK Access Management Federation is available at: http://www.jisc.ac.uk/federation.html

Inter-Library Loan (ILL) charges to NHS users of the Medical Library

The Medical Library regrets that it is no longer able to sustain its current pricing structure for Inter-Library Loans supplied to NHS staff and external members of the library. This decision follows a cut in the funding we receive from the NHS.

The Medical Library will charge the full unsubsidised rate for all ILL requests received from 1 February 2007 onwards that are requested by NHS staff. The basic rate for a photocopy will rise from £3.00 to £6.00. Charges for requests made by University and MRC library users will remain unchanged. Full details of charges are available at http://www.medschl.cam.ac.uk/library/documentsupply.htm

We obviously regret the need for this and other cost-cutting measures we are introducing at the present time. At the same time, we are continuing to seek ways of improving our service in a cost-effective manner, and in this respect are about to trial a new electronic document delivery process which, if successful, will significantly reduce the time required to supply a standard article request. We hope that this will help to offset the negative effects of our new ILL charges.

If you are on an NHS departmental account and have any questions, please contact Ann Mallows (Univ. ext. 63905).

If you have any comments or questions in general, please direct them to Peter Morgan, Medical Librarian at library@medschl.cam.ac.uk

PubMed and NHS ATHENS

Do you use PubMed?

Do you have an NHS ATHENS registration?

Then searching just got a lot easier!

By using the version of PubMed available at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?myncbishare=nhsjournals you will be able to see instantly which of your search results are available in full test by using your NHS ATHENS registration.
While the first PubMed screen looks no different from normal, the screen which displays your results includes an extra tab: "NHS England Full Text".
When you click in to read the abstract of an article, look for the NHS logo - this tells you the article is available in full text using your NHS ATHENS username and password.

If you would like any help or support in using PubMed and/or your NHS ATHENS registration, please contact Isla at the Medical Library: email library@medschl.cam.ac.uk or phone (01223) 336750.
