The Albert B. Sabin Digitization Project: Spreading the Word

Posted on by

At the recent 2013 Society of American Archivists’ annual meeting in New Orleans, Louisiana, I presented a poster on the final results of the Albert B. Sabin digitization project. Several archivists stopped by to discuss the poster, particularly because they were curious about the way project staff handled documents that contained sensitive information. Many of those that stopped by were at archives in similar positions as the Winkler Center, trying to figure out the best way to balance privacy and access. Continue reading →

Clinical Key Off Campus Access

Posted on by

As of August 1, 2013, off campus access to Clinical Key is via the UC SSL VPN (Secure Sockets Layer Virtual Private Network) only.  Clinical Key has been available via the proxy server since April during a trial.  UC Health decided not to subscribe to Clinical Key. Therefore, proxy server access to Clinical Key for UC Health employees  ended when the trial came to an end July 31, 2013.

UC SSL VPN access to Clinical Key is available for users with a UC central login.  Information about how to set up VPN access is available here http://libraries.uc.edu/hsl/vpnsetup2013.pdf .  For more information about off campus access or the VPN, go to http://libraries.uc.edu/hsl/reference/remoteaccess.html .

Clinical Key eBook Full Text Access On and Off Campus

One other Clinical Key requirement is to set up an additional personal account in order to access ebook full text both on and off campus.  If you already have a personal Scopus account, that login will also work with Clinical Key.

Questions?  Please contact Edith Starbuck at edith.starbuck@uc.edu or 558-1433.

Esther V. Zocher (later Freese) was a 1922 graduate of the Bethesda Hospital School for Nurses in Cincinnati, Ohio.

The Esther Zocher Freese archival collection, which provides insight into nursing education during the 1920′s in Cincinnati, is now available for research at the Henry R. Winkler Center for the History of the Health Professions.

According to an annual catalog found in the collection, the Bethesda Hospital Training School for Nurses was organized in 1914 and required students to study for 3 years.[1] Esther V. Zocher (later Freese) graduated from the school in 1922. A great group of photographs that document nurses and nursing during Freese’s time at the school are found in this small collection.
