PubMed Central and You

Most people have not given a lot of thought to their relationship with PubMed Central...unless they're NIH-funded researchers, that is. What does PMC expect of you? Why is the law so confusing? Why is communication so difficult? NIH Public Access Policy expert and UCSF Librarian Marcus Banks will be at SFGH, Building 3, 5th Floor Library on August 6, 2008 between 4 and 5 p.m. to answer these and other troubling questions including tips to make sure you are in compliance with the law and completely out of jail. Marcus's talk is sponsored by UCSF's Division of Experimental Medicine.

DynaMed for All

Yes, you can now get a PDA version of DynaMed, an evidence-based point-of-care resource, on the device of your choice. Although I don't personally own a new iPhone, I understand it works beautifully on that machine, as well as on Blackberries (would that be Blackberrys?) and Smartphones. If you'd like to give it a whirl, please email me jgraham@sfghdean.ucsf.edu to get the necessary serial number and include your SFGH or UCSF affiliation information.
