Ebling Library users now have access to two popular NEJM publications!
Ebling Library users now have access to two highly requested journals from the NEJM Group.
NEJM Catalyst Innovations in Care Delivery focuses on the latest innovations, big ideas, and practical solutions for health care delivery transformation.
NEJM Evidence presents innovative original research and fresh, bold ideas in clinical trial design and clinical decision-making.
Did you know that Ebling staff can assist in whatever “ails” you? Whether you need guidance with a literature search on lung cancer screening, an update on Endnote or Zotero bibliographic management, some resources on contraceptive use during COVID, access to articles on social justice training, a systematic review on spinal cord stimulation, or a deep dive into the history of taking sexual histories we can usually accommodate.
You can call, email, chat, ZOOM, come in (unlike last summer). We relish assisting our health sciences community.
We can help fine tune your data carpentry skills, help to identify predatory journals, assist in finding images for a departmental presentation, and suggest orthopedic practice details for a short story. Our crackerjack crew prides itself on timely, comprehensive “treatment.” Please let us know how we can help.

Please enjoy our early Spring 2022 installment of the Ebling Post News. From reminding you of all the services we can provide, to new Research Guides, to Ebling staff in the news, we have been busy the last few months. We look forward to seeing more of you onsite as the social, cultural and clinical landscape allow.
Let us know if we can be of help.

COVID-19: Special Access to Online Resources
Many publishers and content providers have temporarily unlocked resources to support remote research, teaching, and learning during this period of disruption. Ebling Library has created a list of resources that may be helpful to the health sciences community. Thank you to our publishers and content providers during this particularly dynamic time.
COVID-19: Special Access to Online Resources
If you need assistance locating other resources or would like to request access to additional resources, please contact Ebling Library.
We wanted to share an update from ProQuest in regard to eBook titles on eBook Central during this pandemic. In this unprecedented time of COVID-19 and institutions moving to online learning, ProQuest is supporting us with a new level of distance learning and research and access to electronic resources.
ProQuest has partnered with more than 50 publishers to support libraries in providing unlimited access to Ebook Central holdings for all patrons – at no extra charge.
ProQuest eBook Central customers will get unlimited access to all owned titles from these publishers through mid-June. This means all licenses – including single-user and three-user models will AUTOMATICALLY convert to unlimited access during that period.
Please check out the brand-new addition to our research guides here at Ebling! The Health Literacy LibGuide features interactive resources, toolkits, and literature for the health professional community here at UW-Madison and the UWHC.

UW’s Micromedex Subscription is ending in February 2019. Lexicomp Access will expand!
Here is the direct link to Lexicomp.
Both Micromedex and Lexicomp subscriptions offer similar components including drug information, calculators, toxicology, and IV information. The differences are mainly in presentation, not content. Many academic medical centers have moved to one vendor for this reference service for standardization and to save money.
An in-depth analysis and comparison was conducted at UW by a committee that included nurses, providers, and representatives from in IS, Pharmacy, Patient Education, SMPH, Swedish American Health, Community Connect, and Ebling Library.
The resulting decision expands Lexicomp access across the organization while ending the Micromedex subscription effective February 2019.
