Please take a look at the Health Sciences Library's new Databases page at http://library.nymc.edu/database . Note the absence of the "house icons" -- they are no longer needed. The page now automatically detects your IP address when you select a resource, and only asks those who are off the NYMC campus network to log in. This page also takes advantage of the "single-login" functionality, which was released in February, which means users will only need to log in one time during any session. Please try this new page, and provide any feedback by sending a message to hsl_nymc@nymc.edu. We hope you like it!

Scopus staff will be on hand to demonstrate how Scopus can enhance your research!

These products are available for download to all NYMC users. Given the nature of these PDA resources, which are downloaded in their entirety to users' handheld devices, it is not possible for the library to ascertain usage via usage statistics. Therefore, WE NEED YOUR FEEDBACK! Please take a moment to complete our survey. It should take no longer than 3-5 minutes to complete! Continuation of library's license to these resources depends on your feedback! Click here to take the survey now!
