For the complete text ofthe alert go to: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/databases/alerts/estrogen_progestin.htmlThe Texas Health Science Libraries Consortium (THSLC) will implement a new online catalog system in thenear future.  Voyager, the new Library online catalog, will replace the 10 year old  online catatlog andcirculation system now used by THSLC.  THSLC includes the HAM–TMC Library, the UTHSC-H PublicHealth , Dental, and Psychiatry Libraries, the Research Medical Library of the UT M.D. Anderson CancerCenter, and the Moody Medical Library at the UT Medical Branch in Galveston. Book and journal holdingsfrom all six libraries are included in Voyager.The move to Voyager will provide online catalog searchers with much greater power and flexibility.  Users willbe able to do the following:•    Perform keyword searching with results ranked by relevancy•    Browse library collections by topic or call number•    Easily limit searches to a specific type of material, (e.g., videorecording)•    Qualify results by library; then, sort items by year•    Use Voyager’s History feature to access previous sets of search results•    Mark items while searching for output when finished•    Easily print, download, and email search resultsAs a result of this change, users will have better access to library collections (both traditional and digital) and alibrary system much more capable of taking advantage of new technologies as they emerge.The selection of Voyager was the result of a comprehensive two-year planning and review process conducted bythe THSLC Consortium.  Voyager is also used by the National Library of Medicine, the Library of Congress,The U.S. Information Agency, and almost 1000 other libraries around the world. THSLC libraries are pleased tohave this opportunity to provide you with improved library services.•    Perform keyword searching with results ranked by relevancy•    Browse library collections by topic or call number•    Easily limit searches to a specific type of material, (e.g., videorecording)•    Qualify results by library; then, sort items by year•    Use Voyager’s History feature to access previous sets of search results•    Mark items while searching for output when finished•    Easily print, download, and email search resultsThe WHN, Women’s Health Network, TMC,is responding with questions about Pempro, ahormone replacement taken by millions ofmenopausal women. For more informationsee:  http://www.library.tmc.edu/hrt.htmlNew FormsA new “universal” form for Photocopy Services and Interlibrary Loan requests is now available and in theLibrary and from the Library’s website at:  http://lib200.library.tmc.edu/ILL/UniversalForm.pdfThe new form replaces our previously separate forms for cardholders and non-cardholders, as well as separateforms for Photocopy Services and Interlibrary Loan requests.  A reduction in the number of types of forms wehandle helps us to be more efficient in processing your requests.In addition to a new design and layout, when accessed online, the new form is interactive, and allows you tocreate your own personalized forms by keying in your contact information, then printing a copy to use as amaster form.  You may also save the form to your desktop for further use.Redesigned Web PagesIn conjunction with the redesigned request form, the Department completely revised its web pages in an effort toprovide you with clear and easy-to-locate information about our services.  The link to our pages from theLibrary’s homepage has been changed from “Document Delivery” to “Photocopy/Interlibrary Loan” to morevisibly reflect the services we provide.  Each link on this page provides detailed information about the serviceswe provide.  An up-to-date, easily readable fee schedule has also been posted.Next-Generation Request Management System to Be ImplementedIn September of 2002, the Photocopy/Interlibrary Loan Department will unveil the Request Management System(RMS), a next-generation, state-of-the-art way to manage your Photocopy Services and Interlibrary Loanrequests.  Built on the ILLiad system, the RMS will enable you to place requests at any time, without the needfor faxing or handing in a paper form.  You will only need to enter your contact information ONCE, eliminatingthe time-consuming task of rewriting your contact information on each request form.  Real-time informationabout the status of your requests will be available to you, along with a history of your requests to aid with yourbibliographies and/or reconciling your monthly invoice.Electronic delivery of requested materials will also be streamlined through the RMS, thus moving us closer toour goal of providing you with a single interface to place requests, check the status of requests, review/cancelexisting requests and view/download materials electronically.Watch our departmental web pages for more information as we move closer to implementation:http://lib200.library.tmc.edu/ILL/Electronic Documents Now Available for Fifteen (15) Days4PHOTOCOPY/INTERLIBRARY LOAN MAKING CHANGES TOSERVE YOU BETTERIn response to client demand, we have extended the viewing period for electronically-delivered items from fiveto fifteen days.
