         <title>CINAHL: Switched from OVID to EBSCO Interface</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><img alt="logoEHOST.gif" src="http://www.library.drexel.edu/blogs/hs/logoEHOST.gif" align="right" hspace="3" width="170" height="50" />The Drexel Libraries have switched our access for the CINAHL database (Cumulative Index for Nursing and Allied Health Literature) from the OVID interface to <a href="http://www.library.drexel.edu/cgi-bin/r.cgi?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?authtype=ip,uid&profile=ehost&defaultdb=cin20">EBSCO</a>.</p>

<p>Please accept our apologies for the abruptness of the switch; we had expected access to CINAHL through OVID to persist for a few more months.  The EBSCO interface will offer some advantages -- our concurrent use limit is higher, so students are less likely to find themselves unable to access the database when a crucial assignment is due.  Downloading of search results into RefWorks is also simpler with EBSCO than with the OVID interface.</p>

<p>We are quickly preparing tip sheets and tutorials to help you navigate this new version of CINAHL; watch for these to be announced here and, as always, don't hesitate to contact the libraries if you need any assistance:<ul><li>Hahnemann Library - 215-762-7184<li>Queen Lane Library - 215-991-8740<li>Hagerty Library - 215-895-2755</ul></p>]]></description>

         <title>Blackwell/Wiley Update</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>Journals formerly available through Blackwell Synergy were successfully moved to the Wiley Interscience platform over the weekend.  Links from our catalog and e-journal lists have been updated for these titles, however, Wiley has not yet provided title-level linking, so linking will be only to the Wiley Interscience entry page.  At that point, it will be necessary to search or browse for the required journal title, and then to the desired volume and issue.  </p>

<p>We expect journal title-level and article-level linking to be back in place within the next two weeks.  In the meantime, if you need assistance locating an article, please contact one of the library reference desks for help:<ul><li>Hahnemann Library - 215-762-7184<li>Queen Lane Library - 215-991-8740<li>Hagerty Library - 215-895-2755</ul></p>]]></description>

         <title>Two Important Documents from the AMA </title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>The AMA has released two important documents: its first <a href="http://www.ama-assn.org/ama/pub/category/18660.html">National Health Insurer Report Card</a> and its first ever <a href="http://www.ama-assn.org/ama1/pub/upload/mm/31/medicaltourism.pdf">guidelines on medical tourism</a>.

The medical tourism guidelines is a nine point outline geared towards "patients, employers, insurers, and third-parties responsible for coordinating travel outside the U.S."  </p>]]></description>
