This journal works with DePuy, a Johnson & Johnson company, to offer the Resident Writer's Award each year. To qualify for consideration, papers must have the orthopedic resident as the first-listed author and must be accepted through the journal’s standard blinded-review process. Year of publication determines the year of competition.

Developmental Disabilities Research Reviews is new title for Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities Research Reviews

This title has recently changed its name. Our access via the publisher if you are on campus is 1996 - the current issue.

Reading tables of contents

If you would like to receive table of content alerts for some journal titles directly to your email you can set an email alert via the publisher. However, a method that I would suggest is the RSS feed option you will often see in the same place. If you use a "feed reader" such as the free Google Reader ( www.google.com/reader ) you can just go to a single website when you want to catch up on your reading. When you log in you will see neatly gathered the links to the titles, websites, etc. that you have set up with an indication of the new content that has been posted to that site. You can even group them by topic. To reach our full text online content from those links you would need to be accessing it from a hospital computer though.

Journal of Children's Orthopaedics

5-21-08: however, we only get online access to the current year! I am investigating to see what the cost is for archival access. This does not seem to match their goals of "affordable and readable" access to global medicine.

10-11-07: We now have access to a new title, Journal of Children's Orthopaedics, which began in 2007.

Journal of Hand Surgery -- now "European," not "British"

As of their 2007 issues the British and European edition of the Journal of Hand Surgery is no longer the "British" edition. It will be called the "European" edition and therefore instead of being v.32B it is v.32E.

Elsevier online titles

We have online access to Applied Nursing Research and Journal of Pediatric Nursing through Elsevier, which took over these titles as of 2008. However, A to Z does not show online access to either so I need to determine if it can be added.

Joint Commission titles

5-19-08: See the July 9, 2007 post for links to our titles. However, today we no longer have access as far back on The Source, Environment of Care News and Benchmark. I have written Joint Commission, IngentaConnect and EBSCO to try to straighten this out. These titles will not be available on our A to Z listing because they are single user titles.

Benchmark's page says archives are available via IngentaConnect, but currently they just do not work.

HCPro titles

The HCPro titles are not all showing up correctly on our new A to Z online journal list. I am in the process of getting the links corrected. You can still access them through the link in the post from March, 2007 and from the table on the "web-based journal" link if you scroll down that page. Contact me for the password.

Also, they have a publication called Briefings on Hospital Safety that they seem to also refer to as Hospital Safety Center. The publication itself is the Briefings title though.

Wiley-Blackwell

Blackwell journals are moving to Wiley Interscience. Here's the librarian newsletter link.

OVID statistical reports

re getting stats from OVID now that they are on SP (as reported by comments on listserv CDPLUS-L):

OVID reports that their intent is to maintain the Gateway-module until the SP-module has
the same capabilities for statistical reports. Until then, the Gateway-module is the one to use.

The new version has a longer timeout so possibly fewer users can get in

At present, the Gateway-module is reporting the reliable data. The SP module, by contrast, is reporting only partially the same activity.

Feb 2008 was a short month not only due to the number of days but also because the Gateway to SP change occurred.

Reports can be accessed directly from within the statistics program (rather than from email). They appear under "completed reports" up in the left hand corner under "welcome." Make sure that you have "all content" checked in the pull down menu under "report scope."

The SP module e-mails you a link to their server when a given report is ready. This link is to a zipped (.zip) format file, which you, in turn, unzip to view two "comma-delimited" text files.
