FACULTY AUTHORS BIBLIOGRAPHY

July 1999 - June 2000

INTRODUCTION

The New York Medical College Faculty Authors Bibliography, July 1999-June 2000, is the seventh annual compilation of faculty scholarship that has been published during the past academic year. The bibliography is produced by the staff of the Medical Sciences Library and is available in print and in electronic form.  The electronic form is accessible on the campus network as an option on the Medical Sciences Library WWW homepage (http://library.nymc.edu).

This bibliography is an outgrowth of the Medical Sciences Library's first Author Recognition Celebration that took place on September 22, 1993. The success of that event coupled with enthusiastic support for a more comprehensive event and production of a substantive bibliography resulted in this publication.

Citations are listed from 817 books, book chapters, journals, journal articles, editorials, reviews and letters, representing the publishing efforts of 446 faculty members. Authors whose writings were published between July 1, 1999 and June 30, 2000 have been included in this bibliography. The faculty database listings have been provided by the New York Medical College's School of Medicine, Graduate School of Basic Medical Sciences, and the Graduate School of Health Sciences as of  November 11, 2000. 

Sources

Journals, Journal Articles, Editorials, Reviews and Letters.

Citations are as accurate as possible based on the information available. The following indexing/abstracting sources were searched: Science Citation Index, MEDLINE, PubMed, CINAHL, EMBASE(Psychiatry), PsycLIT, HealthSTAR and LEXIS-NEXIS. The search methodology combined the designated field containing the author affiliation address with the publication years and types of publications. In addition, letters were sent to chairs of departments, program directors and course coordinators soliciting lists of current publications of their faculty. The appropriate deans were also consulted.

A citation limit must be noted in some databases, such as MEDLINE, that include only the address of the first author. There is, therefore, an inherent limitation when searching the institutional field in a database. 

Books and Chapters of books.

The selection of books and chapters of books was made through library acquisition lists and author submissions. For the most part, books and chapters of books are not readily available in electronic databases. Therefore, authors are continually encouraged to alert the library about newly published books and chapters.

Arrangement

The arrangement of the bibliography is in two parts: by author and by department. Citations are formatted in accordance with the National Library of Medicine Index Medicus, which conforms to American National Standard for Bibliographic References ANSI Z39.29-1977. The first part contains a listing of bibliographic citations alphabetized by first authors. Each college author who is not a first author is cross-referenced to the full citation under the name of the first author. The second part contains a listing of all College authors by departments and/or schools.

This bibliography is compiled and edited by Cheryl Silver, Assistant Professor and Head, Information Processing. Maritza Campbell, Assistant Collection Development Librarian and Nina Kurzban, Librarian  provided invaluable support in the production of this bibliography.

The Medical Sciences Library is pleased to acknowledge and promote the scholarly contributions of the faculty.  The staff is even more pleased to receive the support of the President, Provost, Deans, Department Chairs, and most importantly our publishing faculty.

The Library invites comments and suggestions at any time.
