Volume 5 - Issue 1 January 2014

After many months of intensive work the library went live with

the first iteration of the newly designed Harrell HSL website on

Monday January 13th. If you haven’t already checked it out, we

recommend you explore the new site. As with everything elec-

tronic, it is constantly evolving in response to our market, the

students, faculty and staff of Penn State Hershey. We view the

ongoing development of the website as an iterative process and

as a result, we are always interested in constructive feedback

from you, our users. In fact, the design and underlying structure

are based on feedback from

our students and faculty.

The website underwent a complete ground-up redesign

featuring a fresh up-to-date look, reorganized content

making it easier to navigate, and a single search feature

prominently located on the front page. The site retains

the popular Workplace Links and includes areas for

news, events and announcements, as well as links to

consumer health information. The website is now host-

ed by University Libraries and is running on the Adobe

CQ5 Web Content Management System.

This arrangement allows for significantly more flexibility in functionality and design, as well

as improved integration with the library systems and services delivering our electronic col-

lections. We will be looking for ways to take advantage of this functionality as we continue

to develop and improve the website.

I want to thank everyone involved in this project, especially Lauren Kime who acted as the

Project Manager. The project team here at the Harrell HSL was Nancy Adams, David Bren-

nan, Ben Hoover, Esther Dell, Elaine Dean, Robyn Reed, and Amy Knehans. I also want to

thank the team from University Libraries including Binky Lush, Linda Klimczyk, Dace

Freivolds, Andrew Calvin, Ryan Johnson, Adam Yocum, Janis Mathewson, Maryam

Kutchemeshgi, Jamie Jamison, and Mike Beck.

Moving From MDConsult/FirstConsult To ClinicalKey

By David Brennan, MLS

MDConsult is a point-of-care database provided by Elsevier. (Other resources on this platform include FirstConsult)

This platform is being discontinued entirely at the end of 2014 and is being replaced by ClinicalKey, which brings

many more high-quality ebooks and journals in a number of clinical disciples.

ClinicalKey consolidates Elsevier’s medical and surgical content onto one platform, and combines it with links to

additional content such as practice guidelines, patient education handouts, and MEDLINE, allowing for searches to

be conducted across all of these resources simultaneously.

ClinicalKey is available to all Penn State users via the HHSL home page: http://med.psu.edu/library

Clinical Key Features: First Consult: all of the First Consult point of care monographs

Note - the current FirstConsult app works with ClinicalKey, but

you must register a ClinicalKey username and password. More

information here: http://info.clinicalkey.com/docs/CK-FC-App

Medical Reference Books from W.B. Saunders, Churchill and Mosby :

Full-text access is provided for over 900 medical and surgical

books. Multimedia content is included for selected books.

Journals: access to the full-text articles of over 500 journals; the platform

allows for searching MEDLINE simultaneously with other content.

The Harrell HSL has set up linking from ClinicalKey to full-text so

you do not have to search multiple platforms.

Clinical Review Articles: ClinicalKey includes all of the medical and

surgical specialties covered by The Clinics.

Medical and Procedural Videos: includes over 9,000 medical and proce-

dural videos from books and journals.

Practice Guidelines: more than 2,000 practice guidelines available.

These guidelines are links to the full text of additional practice

guidelines found on the websites of professional and government

agencies and links to summaries from the National Guideline

Clearinghouse.

Patient Education: links to more than 15,000 patient education

handouts available to users, with approximately 75% of these

handouts being available in both Spanish and English.

Drug Information: 2,800 drug monographs provided by Gold Standard.

Clinical Trials: links to the ClinicalTrials.gov database.

Images: nearly 1 million images from books and almost 3 million

images from journals.

Continuing Medical Education: access to free CME offered through

the Cleveland Clinic Center for Continuing Education. Individual

users complete the online form within ClinicalKey and submit to

receive AMA-PRA Category 1 CreditTM for each search. Users who

have signed up for CE from MDConsult will have to re-enroll for

CE on the ClinicalKey platform. More information here: http://

info.clinicalkey.com/docs/CME_Flyer.pdf

A number of help and training resources

are available for using ClinicalKey:

A new “Lion’s Eye” LCD display is

mounted near the library entrance to

alert library visitors—and those just

passing by—to library events, ser-

vices, and information resources. We

also provide space for the Office of

Diversity, the Department of Humani-

ties, and other campus units to pro-

mote their events. The display was

purchased with generous funding as-

sistance from Penn State University

Libraries.

We'll discuss how important a detailed, exhaustive, and well-documented search strategy

is for any systematic review project by providing examples of varying quality. You'll also

learn how librarians can partner with your systematic review team as part of the library's

new Systematic Review Service.

Check out our systematic review guide to see how the library can help.

What We’re Doing . . .

By Robyn Reed, MLIS

In October 2013, the National Library of Medicine introduced a commenting venue in PubMed

called PubMed Commons. This affords authors the ability to post many different types of re-

marks, such as updating information from their publications, clarifying issues or answering

questions from readers, or discussing various aspects of the study presented. The forum al-

lows hyperlinks to other PubMed records or external sources, like data sets. Remarks are pub-

lic and only authors of manuscripts in

PubMed are eligible to join and post

comments. Once a member, you can in-

vite other authors to join and be part of

the discussions.
