SIFT: A student document delivery_

service from HSL

It began as a pilot on Aug 1, 2009 and has since shown remarkable progress as a document delivery service valued and well received by UC Denver students on the AMC. Over 200 AMC health science students registered for document delivery service in Fall 2009 signing up for SIFT. According to sources, students

eagerly and easil_y.:created new ILLiad accounts and generated new batches of requests for articles and books needed for their research, clinical rotations, and their studies. The HSL document delivery team in Access Services found themselves quite busy with all the student requests in Fall 2009; and they say they are ready for more! The

additional good news is that SIFT continues into 2010 for the spring term. SIFT is a document delivery service for students at the AMC of UC

Denver. SIFT stands for Students for ILLiad Freedom Trial and is a pilot service being offered by the Health Sciences Library (HSL), the Academic Support Advisory

Committee (ASAC), and the Access Services division of HSL. Need an article the library does not have? Can't come on campus to copy that 1986 article? Tired of the endless linking to myriad journal homepages? Joining SIFT means registering with ILLiad. ILLiad gives freedom and new options to UC Denver Health Sciences students to request articles 24/7 from the HSL collections and beyond. It is simple to get started and sign U:P- now. This is a service for students, about students, and funded by the students. The library welcomes and encourages all eligible students to try.: out the service during the spring '10 semester. Distance education students are especially encouraged to consider the advantages of joining SIFT.

SIFT was originally slated to end in December at the conclusion of the fall 2009 semester, but that is the past. Through continued interest and with kind support in partnership with ASAC, the SIFT pilot lives on into 2010. Students are encouraged to try.: it out and ma_y.:register at any.: time. SIFT not only provides interlibrary loan for materials not held in the HSL collections, but also document delivery of materials from within the library's collections (articles/book chapters) straight to the desktops of students who may not have the time to come to the library and/or hunt down the full text of all their article citations.

Questions about SIFT and its availability after spring 2010 can be directed to Douglas Stehle, Head of Access Services at the Health Sciences Library. If you need help

registering on ILLiad or want more details about SIFT for students in 2010, please call the document delivery.: unit of HSL Access Services@ 303-724-2111 during their normal business hours M-F.

RESOURCE TIP: Pubget: Instant

Gratification for PDF Access!

Would your research life be easier if you were just one click from the pdf of an article

you found in PubMed? Now you can search for PubMed articles in Pubget and

instantly retrieve the PDF of an article. Pubget solves the problem of full-text document

access in life science research. Instead of search results linking to papers, with Pubget' s proprietary technology, the search results ARE the papers. Once you find the papers you want, you can save, manage and share them - all online. (You must register for a free account.)

You can search keywords or journal titles in the basic search query box, or go to an advanced search form to search specific parts of a PubMed record. Below is an example of an advanced search using a keyword, journal title, author name and year.

You can easily open a new window to Pubg� select PMID from the menu, paste in a

PubMed ID number, and click GO. Your search will retrieve the same citation from PubMed, then instantly open the pdf of the article.

Off-campus use of Pubget still requires a library login with your institutional ID, but once you log in, you will be able to view the PDFs associated with your search results.

Make sure you use the customized Pubget URL for Health Sciences campus

-httP-://ucdenver.P-ubget.com. If you go to pubget.com or httP-://www.P-ubget.com you will get Pubget' s service, but it will not be customized to our institution's online journal holdings. Also, please note that Pubget is recommended for Firefox and IE version 7 and above. It is not recommended for IE version 6 - particularly off campus use.

Questions? Contact Jeff Kuntzman (jeff.kuntzman@ucdenver.edu) or Lynne Fox

( ly.:nne.fox@ucdenver.edu) for assistance.

National Results of the Health Care

Community Discussion

On December 30th, 2008, the Health Sciences Library hosted a Health Care Community Discussion in response to a call from the Obama Transition Team's request to hold a conversation about health care reform. The moderators submitted a report of the discussion to the Transition Team web site. You can read an abridged version of the re12ort from the library's web site along with the results of a brief survey.:.

The national results are now available at Healthreform.gov. Americans expressed serious concerns regarding health care in the new report and web site released by the Department of Health and Human Services. The report, Americans S12eak on Health Reform: Re12ort on Health Care Community. Discussions, summarizes comments from the thousands of Americans who hosted and participated in the discussions across the country and highlights the need for immediate action to reform health care.

New Grey Literature web P-gg�

Grey literature is produced by researchers and practitioners in their fields of education, science, medicine, technology, etc. but the research is not officially published in the journal literature, nor is it easily found in databases or other indexing tools. While not considered scholarly per se, it is very important research information, containing data, statistics, and very current research results. Grey literature comes in the form of technical reports, conference papers, newsletters, working papers, committee reports, bulletins, and unpublished papers.

PernkoP-f Atlas: streaming video

Check out streaming video of a recent talk that was given about the Pemkopf Atlas! Eduard Pernkopf's Atlas of topographical and applied human anatomy is considered to be a classic among anatomy atlases. First published in 1938, the hand drawn

illustrations in the atlas are considered by some to be works of art. However, in the mid-1990's evidence came to light that the cadavers used by Pernkopf were victims of the Nazi Party. Additionally, some of the artists that worked on the Atlas signed their works with icons of the Nazi Party.

Much discussion has occurred in the last 12 years about what should be done with the atlas and there are many points of view. Join us as a panel of experts discuss these issues. The panel will consist of:

o Erin Egan, MD, JD - Program Director for the Holocaust in Contemporary Bioethics Program who will serve as moderator

o Michal Atlas, MLS - a librarian who has researched and presented on the issues surrounding the atlas

o Rabbi Raphael Leban representing the Jewish Experience

o Martin Garnar, MLS - a librarian at Regis University who has worked with the American Library Association's (ALA) Office of Intellectual Freedom

o Mike Carry, MD, PhD - a professor in the Cell & Developmental Biology Department at UC Denver Anschutz Medical Campus
