New Link to PubMed

Posted on by

PubMed has a new URL!

http://proxy.libraries.uc.edu/login?url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?otool=ohuncilib

With this URL change comes a different but probably familiar button uc-articlelinker in the PubMed citation abstract view that tells you whether you can access the full text article.

So bookmark the new PubMed URL and if you have a ‘My NCBI’ account, update it to see the UC Article Linker button while logged into your account.  To learn how go to update your ‘My NCBI’ account.

If you have any questions, please contact please contact Edith Starbuck at 558-1433 or edith.starbuck@uc.edu

Make learning a language your resolution for the New Year

Posted on by

According to Wikipedia, learning something new (such as a foreign language or music), is one of the popular New Year’s resolutions in the United States. But what if you don’t have the time to enroll in a class and cannot afford a learning kit from Rosetta Stone? The good news is that the University of Cincinnati Libraries have a wonderful collection of books, media, and other resources for you to learn a new language. Our collections primarily support the language courses offered through the School of World Languages and Cultures and offer resources for learning Arabic, Chinese, Hebrew, Japanese, Russian, and Swahili. We also have vast collections in the areas of German Studies and Romance Languages and Literatures. Find links to Internet and library resources and tips for finding videos and DVDs in foreign languages and/or about countries or cultures at our Language Resources page.

So if you are making a New Year’s resolution this year and you commit to learning a language and/or facts about a country or culture, the University of Cinciinati Libraries will help you to achieve your goal! Good luck!
