A Tribute to Dr. Stanley M. Levenson is on display in the Library lobby during February 2014. Dr. Levenson, distinguished university professor emeritus of surgery, was world-renowned for his advances in treating burns and helped found the Burn Center at Jacobi Medical Center. He was revered by students and colleagues alike for his intellect, enthusiasm and love for investigative nutritional and scientific research. He continued to be active in his field after retiring, making significant contributions to the understanding of surgical nutrition and metabolism and of the mechanisms of stress-induced catabolism.
The Library is preparing an exhibit recognizing Einstein faculty who have authored or edited books or e-books published during the past year. The exhibit will be on display in the Library lobby on the first floor of the Forchheimer Building during the month of March. This year's exhibit will include books published between March 2012 and March 2014.
Authors should send a copy of their printed book or information about their e-book and a recent photograph of themselves, either printed or electronic. Books and photos will be returned when the exhibit is over. Please include your name, title, department and phone number with the submission.
Send the information and materials by February 14 to:
D. Samuel Gottesman Library, Albert Einstein College of Medicine
1300 Morris Park Avenue, Bronx, NY 10461

Thank you in advance for participating!
Web of knowledge has become Web of Science and the database currently known as Web of Science has become the Web of Science Core Collection. Web of Science Core Collection is comprised of three indexes: Arts & Humanities Citation Index, Social Sciences Citation Index, and Science Citation Index Expanded. Use these indexes to search for articles on a topic or search for articles that have cited a known author or work. In this redesign, the same searches can be performed but some options have moved. One upgrade is that it is now possible to refine your search by Open Access titles.
Access is available from the Databases list on the Library’s home page. You can find more details in the release notes or in the training video.
We are in the process of updating our webpages and research guides to reflect these changes. For more information, contact the Reference Desk askref@einstein.yu.edu and at 718.430.3104.

William Osler, the 19th century Canadian physician is sometimes referred to as "the father of modern medicine" for his pivotal role in transforming medical education.
Borrowing on materials from Johns Hopkins University and the Osler Library at McGill University, the William Osler Papers in Profiles in Science, National Library of Medicine (NLM) features digitized primary historical materials, including correspondence, published articles, notebook excerpts, report drafts, and photographs selected from these collaborating institutions.
The items are divided into chronological sections that include "Osler, Medical History, and Medical Libraries" and "Sir William: Regius Professor at Oxford, 1905-1919."
The Einstein Book Club members have chosen The Greater Journey: Americans in Paris, by David McCullough. "An epic of ideas, as well as an exhilarating book of spells ... This is history to be savored." – Stacy Schiff, The New York Times Book Review.
The next meeting will be Wednesday, March 12, 2014, 9:00 a.m. - 10:00 a.m. in the Library Conference Room, Forchheimer Room 119N. All members of the Einstein community are welcome.
