Ask Us: Behind the scenes

Have you ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes of the Health Sciences Library Ask Us service? Now is your chance to ﬁnd out. Here is one staﬀ member’s perspective about the service.

Ask Us is our answer to Ask a Librarian. It is possible to ask questions via email, chat, and SMS. You can also set up appointments through this service.

In March of this year I was trained and during April I began taking on my own Ask Us shifts. In these shifts I have often encountered questions that I have no idea of the answer to as well as questions that I can answer oﬀ of the top of my head. Seeing and answering the questions that are asked through this service have given me a much be er understanding of the type of information we provide for users.

Many of the questions that I have go en during my shifts have required simple answers. The most frequent questions I have received have been about accessing articles and patrons accounts. Helping people access even the smallest amount of information is fun for me. I really enjoy my Ask Us shifts.

PubMed Central Now Has Citation

Exporter Feature

PubMed Central (PMC) is happy to announce the addition of a citation exporter feature. This feature makes it easy to retrieve either styled citations that you can

copy/paste into your manuscripts, or to download them into a format compatible with your bibliographic reference manager software.

When viewing an Entrez search results page, each result summary will now include a “Citation” link. When, clicked, this will open a pop-up window that you can use to easily copy/paste citations forma ed in one of three popular styles: AMA (American Medical Association), MLA (Modern Library Association, or APA (American

Psychological Association). In addition, the box has links at the bo om that can be used to download the citation information in one of three machine-readable formats, which most bibliographic reference management software can import.

The same citation box can also be invoked from an individual article, either in classic view (with the “Citation” link among the list of formats) or the PubReader view, by clicking on the citation information just below the article title in the banner.

These human-readable styled citations, and machine-readable formats, will be available through a public API, and we will be providing more details about that in another announcement, on the pmc-utils-announce mailing list. Please subscribe to that list if you are interested.

Mitten tree is ready for donations!

The Health Sciences Library has put up our annual mi en tree on the first floor of the library. Everyone is welcome to contribute mi ens, hats, scarves or other items to the tree. Simply bring in items and hang them on the tree. After the holidays, library staff will take all of the items on the tree and donate them to the nearby Comitis Crisis Center.

Comitis is a non-proﬁt agency underneath the umbrella of Mile High Behavioral Healthcare. The shelter serves runaway/homeless children, homeless families, and homeless Veterans—with a particular focus on homeless female Veterans and their families. Comitis is also in need of toiletries (toothbrushes, toothpaste, deodorant, soap, shampoo, etc.), towels and twin sheets. Any of these items that are left under the tree will also be donated.

The tree will be up through January 5, 2014. For more information or questions, contact Library Administration.

Lifehacker suggests “Reading Fiction

Can Help You Live a Better Life”

At the Health Sciences Library we strive to help you be a be er clinician, researcher, staﬀ member, or student by oﬀering useful resources, free consultations with librarians (use that Ask Us bu on that sits to the right side of every Library webpage), great study spaces and resources, and even walk stations (so you can get a bit of exercise while you work). We even granted your wish for 24/7 access to the Library!

But did you know that the library offers fiction and non-fiction general books and a Medical Humanities collection? LifeHacker, an online how to and efficiency guide, proposes that reading fiction can help you become more empathetic, understand the inevitability of change, stimulate curiosity, and improve your ability to communicate.

You’ll ﬁnd books to help you take a break from life, work, and study, while improving your life:

1. In our fiction and n0n-fiction general leisure reading collection on the Library’s first floor east alcove

2. In our Drs. Henry & Janet Claman Medical Humanities collection in the Library’s third ﬂoor Carl and Kay Bartecchi Special Collections room.

3. From another library in the Prospector library network. Books, cds, dvds, and other materials are available from a wide variety of public and academic libraries throughout Colorado. Materials are delivered for free to the Health Sciences Library for pickup. Simply search Prospector for and request any item marked “available” for loan. Plan ahead, since it can typically take 5-8 days for delivery of items.

We make it easy to take a break with a good read!

Let us do the leg work for you!

Students and residents, there is no direct cost for you! Don’t have an ILLiad account? You can sign up here.

Document Delivery is here to save you time!

Wishes revealed!

From Sept 2 – 22, 2014, the library asked users to let us know what their wishes would be for the library. We

were thrilled to receive 152 submissions for a total of 349 wishes!

All wishes are now posted on the library’s website for viewing. Additionally, if a wish could be “granted”, that information is included in the Comment column.

The most popular types of wishes were for:

• Additional study rooms

• Open 24/7 — which the library has granted!

The library will run the Wishes campaign again next year, but to be fully honest users can submit “wishes” anytime using the Tell Us or Ask Us bu ons on the website.

NIH Announces New Biosketch Format

for Jan 25

There are a lot of moving parts to a grant application, but at least the biosketch stays mostly the same, right? Wrong, as of January 2015 anyway. The NIH just

announced changes to the biosketch format:

1. The page limit has been increased from 4 to 5 pages

2. This space can be used to describe the findings from up to 5 of your most significant works, the background that framed these works, and their influence on your field. 3. If you’re involved in team science, you can also describe your contribution to the project.

4. You can also include references to up to 4 peer-reviewed articles or other research products, such as audio, video, patents, data, software and more.

5. Also, you can include a link to the entirety of your published work

on MyBibliography or SciENcv. (SciENcv will be updated with a template for the new biosketch format in a few weeks.)

Revised forms and instructions for the new biosketch format can be found here. If you would like assistance with these bibliography/biosketch management tools on campus or how to cite non-published material, please ASK US at the library! Tobin Magle (tobin.magle@ucdenver.edu), the biomedical sciences research support specialist, would be happy to help you navigate these tools.

Shakespeare and the four humors – new

library exhibit

A traveling exhibit from the National Library of Medicine will be on display in the Gallery November 24, 2014 – January 3, 2015.

“And there’s the humor of it: Shakespeare and the four humors” explores the role played by the four humors – blood, bile, melancholy, and phlegm – in several of William Shakespeare’s most beloved plays. In Shakespeare’s time, the four humors were used to deﬁne people’s physical and mental health, and determined their personality as well.

In addition to the panels from the National Library of Medicine the Health Sciences Library will also be displaying the following in the Gallery:

Artifacts related to bleeding – In the Elizabethan world, blood was seen as having great power. Bleeding was used to treat inﬂammation, fever, and all sorts of diseases and injuries. View lancets and other artifacts related to bleeding.

(22)

Browse some of Shakespeare’s works – Copies of The Merchant of

Venice, Hamlet and The Taming of the Shrew will be available. Take a quick break from studying to read some Shakespeare!

Take a selﬁe – With Shakespeare or with a Shakespeare quote. Be sure to use our hashtags – #CUHSLFourHumors #CUHSLibrary

This exhibition was developed and produced by the National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health and the Folger Shakespeare Library.

Happy Birthday! Google Scholar

Turns Ten

Do you use Google Scholar? November 18th marked the 10th anniversary of the search engine that boasts that it helps scholars “See Farther Faster”. The brainchild of Google search engine staﬀ Alex Alex Verstak and Anurag Acharya, Scholar now provides access to over 160 million scholarly articles.

Scholar allows an “everything but the kitchen sink” approach to searching, so that the more terms searched, the be er results can be relevancy ranked and presented to users. Unlike many databases, Scholar searches full text of articles, patents, legal

citations, conference papers & posters, and books, as well as other meta-data associated with the item, then relevancy ranks results using an algorithm that weights items cited more often. This presentation of results highlights classic or influential writings on a topic, while a date range feature allows users to refine results to more recent years. Scholar offers useful features that have been developed over its first ten years:

Search all scholarly literature from one convenient place Explore related works, citations, authors, and publications

Locate the complete document through your library or on the web Keep up with recent developments in any area of research

Download citations to citation management tools, such as Bibtex or EndNote Check who’s citing your publications, create a public author proﬁle

While Scholar can be a powerful tool for discovering the literature by an author or on a topic, it should be only one stop in the researcher’s journey. Scholar is not without pitfalls. Predatory journal expert Jeffrey Beall recently warned that Scholar is opening the doors to “junk science” by failing to be selective enough in its inclusion criteria. Beall proposes that, “To remain relevant and valuable. Google Scholar needs to limit the database to articles from authentic and respected scholarly publications. . .” Using Scholar in conjunction with resources such as PubMed, EMBASE or Web of Science, as well as common sense, good critical appraisal skills, and knowledge of the literature of a field can mitigate the effects of Scholar’s lack of selectivity.

The last ten years have been a period of tremendous change in the world of online research. Google Scholar has been there every step of the way innovating and evolving. Scholar should continue to remain relevant and useful to researchers, providing one valuable tool in a large toolbox of literature search tools.

HSL Hosts Public Health

Case Competition

November 7th & 8th, the library hosted the second annual Rocky Mountain Region Public Health Case competition. The event began Friday afternoon, when the students were given a case study about marijuana exposure in minors after legalization in the state of Colorado and were tasked with coming up with a public health intervention to address accidental exposure in children or intentional use in teens. The students

created proposals for a theoretical 3-year, $3 million dollar grant and gave 10 minute presentation to a panel of judges. All of this research and planning was conducted in a 24 hour period! To facilitate this work, librarians were “on call” Friday afternoon and evening to help the students with their research. The first round of presentations occurred on Sunday November 9th, and the top 4 presentations were selected to go to the finals on Monday November 10th. Read more about what the finalists came up with on the university news site.

Walking off the stress: 46,000 calories

burned on the walk stations

Since their installation this past September, the walk stations in the Health Sciences Library have proved to be immensely popular. Statistics reveal that 864 miles have been logged on the walk stations so far; that’s 46,000 calories and nearly 1,400 kilometers!

If you haven’t checked out the new walk stations, come by the Health Sciences Library and give them a whirl. The walk stations operate at low speeds allowing you to read, write, and use your laptop safely. The treadmills also come equipped with height-adjustable tables, oﬀering the perfect spot for your laptop or a book.

E-book Access Question: Sudden Loss

of Full-Text

QUESTION: I was able to access an e-book recently, but now I can only get to the table of contents. What happened?

The library is participating in a PDA (Patron Driven Acquisition) purchase program with some publishers, including R2 e-books. These books can be found on our e-books page and in our catalog. They are fully accessible until they have been used a certain number of times. Once that threshold has been reached, users can no longer access the full-text of the book–only the table of contents. The library then decides if it can

purchase the e-book. Our goal is to make sure the library is purchasing resources that are ge ing used and are important to our users.

QUESTION: How can I tell if an e-book has been “triggered?”

If you mouseover (hover over) the table of contents link, a message will pop up saying this e-book is being considered for purchase (see image). If you would like to inquire about the status of a PDA e-book, or have other questions, please ﬁll out

Rare Book Profile: Andreas Vesalius’ De

Humani Corporis Fabrica.

Andreas Vesalius’ De Humani Corporis Fabrica (1 edition: Basel : Johannes Oporinus, 1543; 2 edition: Johannes Oporinus, 1555) marked the transition of the study of anatomy from medieval to modern.

Andreas Vesalius (1514-1564) was born into a family of physicians and pharmacists in Brussels. He studied medicine in Louvain (Leuven) and Paris, and completed his degree in Padua, where he studied dissection. After receiving his degree in 1537 at the age of 22, he became a professor of anatomy at the University of Padua, where he built a reputation for his skill in dissection and for challenging the authority of Galen, the foundation of medical knowledge at the time. He also lectured at the universities at Bologna and Pisa. In 1538, he published a set of six anatomical broadsides, under the title Tabulae anatomicae sex. In 1542 he went to Venice to supervise the preparation of over 200 wood block illustrations for his book on anatomy, De humani corporis fabrica libri septem. He moved to Basel with the blocks and his manuscript to oversee the publication of the Fabrica at the publishing ﬁrm of Johannes Oporinus in 1543. Vesalius dedicated the Fabrica to Emperor Charles V, and an abridged edition, the Epitome, to the Emperor’s son, Philip II of Spain. Shortly after publication, he travelled to Mainz to present a copy of the Fabrica to the Emperor, and became the oﬃcial physician to the court. When Charles V abdicated the Spanish throne in 1556, Vesalius was granted a lifetime pension and was made a count. In 1559, he moved to

st nd

(30)

Madrid with his wife and daughter to become court physician to Philip II. In 1564, Vesalius’ family returned to Brussels while he went on pilgrimage to Jerusalem. He died on the return voyage later that year on the Greek island of Zakynthos.

While the Fabrica was not the first anatomical work based on direct observation, its scope and the quality of the illustrations and typography made it hugely influential. Even the decorated initials of the chapter headings depict medical themes. While there is still debate as to the identity of the artist or artists, it is generally accepted that the studio of Titian was involved. The most iconic images in the Fabrica are the “muscle men” from book 2, a series of progressively dissected figures dramatically posed in a landscape. The background landscapes form a panoramic view of the Eugenean Hills, a resort area near Padua. A revised edition was published in 1555, and Vesalius worked to prepare a third edition which was never published.

The Health Sciences Library’s Rare Materials Collections contains both the ﬁrst and second editions of De Humani Corporis Fabrica. The ﬁrst edition is bound in black,

yellow, and blue marbled paper-covered boards, with author and title hand-le ered on a plain white vellum spine. It has been damaged over the years, and has had extensive repairs made to the ﬁrst and last few pages. The second edition of 1555 is in much be er condition, and was bound in blind-tooled alum-tawed pigskin over wooden boards with brass clasps shortly after publication. The ﬁrst edition was given to the library by Dr. James J. Waring, a professor at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. The second was part of a purchase from the collection of anatomist and bibliophile Herbert McLean Evans in 1930 by a group including Dr. Waring, and

presented to the Denver Medical Society. It came to the Health Sciences Library in 1982, when the Society dissolved its rare books collection.

Both editions will be on display on November 19, 2014 from noon to 2 p.m. in the 3rd-ﬂoor Reading Room of the Health Sciences Library as part of the celebration of the 500th anniversary of Vesalius’ birth. The library’s newly acquired 2014 translation of the Fabrica will also be on display. The featured speaker is Dr. Gabriel Finkelstein, Associate Professor in the Department of History at CU Denver, on Vesalius at 500. Dr. William Arend, Distinguished Professor Emeritus in the School of Medicine Division of Rheumatology, will recognize Dr. Charley Smyth, in whose honor the translation was purchased. A reception will follow with refreshments, including birthday cake.

Rare materials are available to individuals or groups by appointment on Wednesday mornings and Thursday afternoons, or at other times by arrangement. To schedule an appointment, contact Emily Epstein, emily.epstein@ucdenver.edu or 303-724-2119. [Emily Epstein, Cataloging Librarian]

Gift of Traditional Chinese Medicine

Classic for Indigenous

Medicine Collection

A li le-known fact about many of the Library’s Special Collections books is that they are gifts from our generous and thoughtful donors. Some were transported over great distances in route to the HSL. Such was the case this past August, when Dr. Wang Dongjin and his family hand-delivered a book from Changchun, Jilin Province, China for the Strauss-Wisneski Indigenous and Integrative Medicine Collection.

The book, The Medical Classic of the Yellow Emperor, is considered the oldest

documentation of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practice and theory, and was compiled over 2,000 years ago. The volume presented to the Library was a 2001 English-language translation published in Beijing by Foreign Language Press, and is a gift from David and Yueping Wang Stenger and the Wang Family. Mr. Stenger is a longstanding supporter of the Library and is a Professional Research Assistant with the Barbara Davis Center for Childhood Diabetes.

The book is presently available on the Library’s New Books Shelf but will ﬁnd a permanent home in the Strauss-Wisneski Collection in the Special Collections Room.

New Acquisition: The Fabric of the

Human Body, a new translation of

Vesalius’ masterwork

2014 marks the 500 anniversary of the birth of physician and anatomist Andreas Vesalius. Vesalius was a lecturer in anatomy and surgery at the University of Padua. He was an advocate for the study of human anatomy through dissection of human bodies, rather than animals. His great work, De Humani Corporis Fabrica, published in 1543 when he was 28 years old, was not only scientiﬁcally revolutionary, but a

landmark in printing and art as well.

The Health Sciences Library’s Rare Materials Collection has both the ﬁrst edition of 1543 and the second edition of 1555. The Fabric of the Human Body, a new annotated translation and facsimile of both editions was recently added to the collection. The

(42)

volume set was purchased with funds from the Charley Smyth Library Endowment, established with the Library by the Anschu Medical Campus Retired Faculty

Association, in memory of colleague and friend Dr. Charley Smyth, former Head of the School of Medicine Division of Rheumatology.

Northwestern University Professors Emeritus Daniel H. Garrison and Malcolm H. Hast spent more than twenty years translating the texts of both the 1543 and the 1555

editions from Latin into English. It is the ﬁrst translation to include both editions. Modern anatomical terms have been added parenthetically to clarify the sixteenth-century text. Extensive footnotes provide further explanation for modern readers, with highlighting to denote diﬀerences between editions. The annotations also incorporate newly discovered notes in Vesalius’ handwriting for a planned but unpublished third edition.

A new font based on the beautiful typeface used in the original publication, Basel Antiqua, was designed speciﬁcally for this translation. The illustrations and decorated initials were reproduced using high resolution digital scans, with thumbnails inserted in the margins of the text to help orient the reader.

The Health Sciences Library will celebrate the birth of Andreas Vesalius on Wednesday, November 19 from 12 to 2 p.m. in the Library’s Reading Room. Dr. Gabriel

Finkelstein, Associate Professor of history at the University of Colorado Denver will give a lecture, “Vesalius at 500.” The 1543 and 1555 editions of De Humani Corporis Fabrica and The Fabric of the Human Body will be on display, and light refreshments will be served.

FYI: Demonstrate your scholarly impact!

One of the many challenges faced by scholars is to demonstrate their value and

impactwithin their ﬁeld of expertise and study. In addition, institutions look for ways to measure the intellectual output of their researchers as part of their overall

performance evaluation process. This information can also help an organization’s leadership with making critical decisions in which research areas to support or build and contribute insights to strategic planning. Alternatively, identifying high impact research papers can help single out key players in a speciﬁc discipline and create possible networking opportunities for those breaking into the ﬁeld.

The “Impact Metrics Road Map” was developed by the Medical Library Association‘s Scholarly Communication Commi ee to showcase key websites that deal with a variety of available measurement tools or point the reader to interesting initiatives. This map serves as a starting place for those with a recent interest in this area and may also be of interest to scholars who want to ﬁnd additional resources. Traditional approaches/tools to measuring research impact are listed as well as AltMetrics (A ention Metrics), which are quickly developing due to the popularity of social media and the ever expanding digital environment.

Open Access Fund for Fall 2014

Now Open

Apply to the Open Access Fund for Student and Early-Career Authors

October 6th to November 7th or when funds are depleted. Apply here

(44)

The Health Sciences Library is now accepting applications for its Open Access Fund. For students and early career professionals the award up to $1000 can be used to pay for the “author processing charge” (APC) that many open access journals require. These journals allow authors to distribute their intellectual property without any restrictions, and usually permit them to retain copyright ownership. In contrast to the traditional journal model in which the author is restricted from distributing her work and the reader has to pay to access it (via subscriptions), in the OA model the author pays to publish his work and readers have no limitations to access it.

Despite costs to authors, there is growing evidence that many articles published as open access are more widely noticed and downloaded than articles published in

subscription-based journals (see for example, Davis 2011). For more information about the Open Access movement, please see the OA FAQs.

The HSL Open Access Fund or OAF is meant to encourage researchers who have li le or no ﬁnancial support to pay for any type of publication fee. Generally speaking, these scholars tend to be students, residents, post-doctoral fellows, and early-career faculty; these individuals will receive priority therefore for an OAF award. While the OAF can be used to pay the APC of an open access journal of the author’s choice, in order to avoid fraudulent journals, the library will restrict the range of acceptable journals to those that are known to be legitimate. They include most members of the Open Access Scholarly Publisher’s Association or those known to comply with its Code of Conduct. Examples of these publishers or journals are: Biomed Central, JMIR Publications, PeerJ, PLoS , and others. All journals will be assessed by the OAF commi ee for legitimacy and for their requirements. Ideally, journals should allow the authors to retain copyright to their articles and not merely permit their distribution within limits.

Eligibility:

aﬃliated with AMC

early-career author (see Funding Priorities below) publishing in a reputable OA journal

article is accepted (and APC has not been paid) or submi ed]. NOTE: We cannot consider applications for articles that are still under preparation.

no other funding source except personal funds substantive contribution to the article

IF YOU ARE ELIGIBLE:

Funding Priorities are as follows: 1. Students

2. Residents, Fellows, Post-Doctoral Fellows, Junior Faculty (within 3 years of the start of his/her career)

3. Other faculty Rules:

(45)

The maximum award per application is $1000 to be used only for the author processing charge (APC). The award cannot be used to fund other fees such as “submission charges,” “review charges,” or “page charges.”

If the APC is less than $1000, the award amount will equal the APC amount – i.e. your award will also be less than $1000

If the APC is more than $1000, the maximum award is $1000 and the author is responsible for paying the diﬀerence to the publisher.

Awards are paid once the library receives a copy of the publisher’s invoice. Applications must be received by the speciﬁed date.

Applicants who meet all eligibility criteria will be considered on a ﬁrst-come ﬁrst-served basis within the application period. Every application will be reviewed by the OAF commi ee for eligibility.

We cannot consider past recipients of the OAF for a new award. Requirements for Applicants Who are Identiﬁed as Award Recipients:

Provide an invoice for the APC from the journal publisher

Upon publication, submit the article to the Health Sciences Library’s institutional repository, Digital Collections of Colorado with a signed Deposit Agreement (see link to the Agreement near the bo om). Make sure you have the proper copyright permissions or you own copyright to your article.

American Library Association Annual

Conference: Viva Las Vegas

Ever wonder what goes on at the American Library Association annual conference? Here’s your chance to ﬁnd out. Deirdre Adams-Buckley, a member of the Access Services team at the Health Sciences Library, a ended the conference in June. She’s oﬀered up a summary of her experience. Check it out!

This summer I was given the opportunity to a end the American Library

Association’s annual conference in Las Vegas. I met many people who work in access services departments at other universities and was able to talk with them about their experiences in a variety of situations. I also a ended sessions on training of staﬀ and students, interlibrary loan and met many of our vendors.

A ending this event and meeting all of these people gave me insight on how other libraries run their Access Services and ILL departments. I really enjoyed ge ing an additional

perspective on the process of training employees. The main concept presented was goal based. The presenters spoke on the importance of not just the process or checklists that a trainer would go through, but to focus on the goals that you are trying to accomplish.
