Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) program
- The Office of Regulatory Research Compliance announces the implementation of the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) program now available to all DUCoM and DU Investigators and Key Personnel. Guidance and FAQs regarding the changes in Human Subjects Research training may be found on the Human Research Training website. The National Science Foundation (NSF) has mandated that all students and postdoctoral researchers involved in NSF proposals receive RCR training in order to conduct research. Trainees and others seeking Rseponsible Conduct of Research (RCR) education may use the Drexel web-based CITI RCR modules to fulfill these requirements.

We now have access to MEDLINE on the Web of Knowledge/Web of Science platform.
You can search MEDLINE alone by choosing it from the SELECT A DATABASE tab, you can search MEDLINE and Web of Science together by choosing the ALL DATABASES tab.
When searching both databases simultaneously the search results are de-duped.
If both Web of Science and MEDLINE have the same item, the display defaults to the Web of Science record, but you can choose to see the MEDLINE version from the menu options on the lower right hand side of the screen.
SPIE Reviews is a peer-reviewed, open access journal that publishes invited review articles covering the state of the art of emerging and rapidly evolving optics and photonics technologies and their applications. Topics covered in SPIE Reviews’ first papers include extended depth-of-focus imaging, Bragg grating refractive index sensors, and negatively refracting chiral metamaterials, and the state of the art of emerging and rapidly evolving optics and photonics technologies and their application.
Access: SPIE Reviews
SPIE Letters Virtual Journal is an open-access, online collection of rapid communications, covering topics of significant originality and interest, from the six journals published in the SPIE Digital Library.

With the proliferation of websites offering some form of MEDLINE searching, the Health Sciences Libraries have developed this resource to help users understand the options and limitations of the several systems available to them.
MEDLINE is a biomedical bibliographic database that was developed by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) at the National Library of Medicine (NLM), located at the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
OVID and PubMed are systems that search the MEDLINE database; each has advantages and disadvantages. PubMed is a government-sponsored system and is freely accessible by anyone who can access the Internet; it provides limited free access to full-text journals in addition to providing links to electronic items owned by the Drexel University Libraries through the My NCBI feature.
See: MEDLINE: OVID and PUBMED, a comparision for more information.
SYNTHESIS: Digital Library of Engineering and Computer Science is an innovative information service for the research, development and educational communities in engineering and computer science. The basic component of the library is a 50- to 100-page electronic book that synthesizes an important research or development topic, authored by a prominent contributor to the field.
It includes lectures such as:
Artificial Organs
Sensory Organ Replacement and Repair
The Transmission-Line Modeling (TLM) Method in Electromagnetics
Computational Electronics
Engineering Ethics: Peace, Justice, and the Earth
See Published Titles for all titles published so far this year.

With the new Google Patent Search tool, one can search across more than 7 million patents. Each Google Patent Search result represents an individual patent. Click on the patent image to access full patent. It displays results based on their relevance to the specific search terms entered. One can also see number of details about each patent in the list of results. These include: patent title, U.S. patent number, filing date, assignee name, patent snippet, patent summary, claims, and drawings. ‘Search within this patent’ option is available to search the text of an individual patent for specific keywords and phrases. it also lists other patents that were cited by the patent described on the page and lists other patents that reference the patent described on the page.
Google Patent Search covers the entire collection of patents made available by the USPTO – from patents issued in the 1790s through those issued in the middle of 2006. It does not currently include patent applications, international patents, or U.S. patents issued over the last few months, but we look forward to expanding our coverage in the future
See About Google Patents for more information.
See Google Launches Google Patents, Full-Text US Patent Searching for comparison between the USPTO search and the Google search of the number of documents that show up for each year in a ten year period for the use of the word. See also Resourceshelf site to learn more about what Google Patents does not cover.
