The Insider Express A monthly e-newsletter of the HAM-TMC Library Vol. 10 (4) 2012  Insider Express Blog: http://thetmclibrary.blogspot.com/   New England Journal of Medicine and Nature iPad Applications  Want to use your iPad to access e-journals?   New England Journal of Medicine and Nature now offer an application that allows users to browse journal abstracts via their iPad.  Please note that although the app download is free, access to full text on your mobile device is not. Access to full text on your mobile device requires payment of a monthly fee to the publisher.   Note: Even though the Texas Medical Center Library has a subscription to these journals, access to full text content with an iPad is not available with your TMC login. Currently, the publishers of these journals do not allow The TMC Library to provide full text access as part of our subscription fees.    Questions? Contact the Reference and Outreach Department at: http://www.library.tmc.edu/ask/   Saving E-Journal Articles in PDF Format  Having trouble saving a journal article in PDF format? Did you know you can solve this problem by resetting your Preferences in Adobe Reader?  Most of these problems have occurred with journals from Science Direct. Saving PDFs from Science Direct journals has not been possible within Adobe Reader unless the Preferences under the Internet category are changed.  Need to change your preferences in Adobe Reader?  Visit: http://thetmclibrary.blogspot.com/2012/04/downloading-e-journals-from-science.html for detailed information. Searching Library Resources Using Google Scholar Do you use Google Scholar to access the library resources? Sources of information in many diverse disciplines are retrievable with Google Scholar. A search can return citations to articles, theses, books, patents, abstracts and court opinions from academic publishers, professional societies, online repositories, universities and the Web itself. Scholar ranks your search results according to the full text of each document, its place of publication, its author, and the frequency/currency of its citation by others.  Choose this link (http://ezproxyhost.library.tmc.edu/login?url=http://scholar.google.com//) if you are registered with The TMC Library as an Academic (Educational) user, to access available full text by clicking the Find It @ TMC Library text. Even with an individual, independent Google Scholar registration, one can set persistent preferences, among them the convenient option to display The TMC Library's holdings at title level (and those of other libraries.) In either case, the "Advanced Scholar Search" page allows restriction of your search results to a particular date range, subject area, author or journal. This link (http://scholar.google.com/) is the one to choose if you are not a registered TMC Library E-Resources user and if you are not a member of a TMC academic institution. Featured Database: The Cell: An Image Library This database of peer-reviewed repository of thousands of stunning microscopic images of cell types, processes and components is supported by an award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) and the National Institutes of Health. Most images are free to use under Creative Commons license by the authors, rather than restricted by publisher copyright.   Free registration gives the user the ability to save images in a folder. Broader features like multiple public and private folders, sharing and annotation are under development. Many videos are also posted.   Researchers are urged to contribute from their own work and experiments. For more information on the intent and the many current as well as features of the database, read more at Leica Science Lab.

Data Governance: Understanding the Issues and Rights Associated with Your Digital Data  Are you aware of how ownership of digital research data can impact how you use these data?  Or how other people use data you have collected and how the data rights are determined in collaborative research?  Join us for a lecture on Understanding the Issues and Rights with your Digital Data by Geneva Henry, Executive Director of the Center for Digital Scholarship at Rice University on April 25, 2012 from 12:99 - 1:00 at the BRC Library, 5100 Main, Room 202. RSVP at: digitalcommons@exch.library.tmc.edu Sponsored by: the Rice/TMC/UH Scholarly Communications Committee New Classes Offered at the Library in April   Would you like to learn about the different eBook file formats for the Kindle, Nook, and other eBook readers?   Are you aware of the freely available software programs that you can use to create your own eBooks?  Join us for an exciting class on Creating Your Own eBooks on Tuesday, April 10 from 1:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. in the Library classroom.  Taught by: Sandra Yates, Web Development Librarian – Reference & Outreach Phone: 713.799.7176 Register Here   Join us for Windows Through Time: Discovering The Past Through Photographs on Wednesday, April 11 from 2:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m in the Library classroom.  Every photograph is like a moment in the past, frozen into an open window that reveals clues to the person with the mind of a detective. Most photos have no dates or identifying information, so dating photos and extracting helpful information requires a bit of skill and art.   In this class, participants will learn to use fashion, automobiles, city landscapes and other clues to date pictures. Photos often have hidden stories that tell you more about the culture of the time.   Participants will learn about and see different types of photos from antique daguerreotypes to 35 mm slides. The instructor will also talk about how best to preserve and keep photographs alive.
