Color Printing and Photocopying at the HSL
Color printing and photocopying are now available in the Microlab within the Health Sciences Library on the third floor of the T wing. All computers on either floor of the Health Sciences Library can print to the color printer. Copicards purchased using a budget number are assessed at $0.63 per page and non-budget and cash at $0.90 per page for either printing or photocopying. For more information, see /hsl/colorprinting.html

Use PubMed Title Abbreviations in HealthLinks
You can now type (or copy and paste from the PubMed record) the official PubMed Title Abbreviation, e.g. N Engl J Med, instead of the full title into the HealthLinks search box to locate electronic journals in HealthLinks. This feature is especially useful for those titles which do not display the purple UW Article Online button. The Health Sciences Libraries also have many other titles both electronically and in print. To search for those titles you must type the full journal title into the HealthLinks search box or the Libraries Catalog. You can use the PubMed Journal Browser to determine the full title of any journal in PubMed.

HealthLinks May Front Page
The featured topic this month is: "Are you ready to PDA?" Some of the sites covered include how to choose a Personal Digital Assistant and some of the applications available.  The front page is located at /.
