Wealth of Clinical Resources Available Online

Filed Under Featured Resources

We know that some of you are experiencing problems accessing Up-To-Date, and we are working with MCIT to solve access issues.  Did you know, however, that the NYU Health Sciences Libraries offer a wealth of resources comparable to Up-To-Date?  In addition, all these resources are accessible from home or at NYULMC-networked sites.  Simply enter your KID/netid  and password if prompted.

Try some of these easy-to-use resources which require no instruction:  Access Medicine, e-Medicine, the full version, or Stat Ref! featuring PIER, an evidence-based clinical resource.  These clinical resources return results efficiently and also link directly to other related resources such as PubMed (unlike Up-To-Date).  If you encounter technical problems or need help using these resources, please let us know via “Ask A Librarian”.

November is American Diabetes Month

Filed Under Patient & Family Resource Center

In observance of American Diabetes Month, the Patient & Family Resource Center, an NYU Langone Medical Center consumer health library, is distributing free diabetes daily log books. Published by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene as part of their Diabetes Prevention and Control Program, these log books are a useful tool to help people with diabetes stay on top of managing this chronic illness. About the size of a checkbook, the logs fit easily in a purse or backpack. Most of the pages consist of forms for tracking blood sugar readings, but there are also places to record test results, medications, and appointments. Tips for healthy eating and ways to increase physical activity are included as well. Titled “My Diabetes Checkbook”, the log books are available in English, Spanish, and Chinese. Stop by the Resource Center in Room 103 of the Schwartz Health Care Building, which happily shares its space with the Diabetes Education Center, and pick one up today!
