The Library has begun a trial to several APA Handbooks. Take a look and let us know what you think. Send your comments to askref@einstein.yu.edu. The trial will end April 16.
Intrepid library staff made it in to open the Library and provide services during the snowstorms and Noreaster’ that hit NYC repeatedly in February. Students were very appreciative of the opportunity to study for classes and shelf exams. Thanks to help from Security officers, the Library remained open for studying until midnight.

Director
Stop by the lobby outside the Library to see the new exhibit honoring Einstein authors and editors of print and e-books, published during the past two years. This year we honor 21 authors who together have authored or edited 25 books. The collection includes topics in medical research, ethics, clinical medicine and psychology, consumer health, fiction and a memoir. An online version of the exhibit will be available soon.
There's a new number to text when you have quick questions for the Library about your research, use of library resources, remote access or other matters. Text us at 718.407.0761, Monday-Friday 10am-5pm.
Have a more in-depth question? Email us at askref@einstein.yu.edu or phone a reference librarian at 718.430.3104.
The NIH Public Access policy requires scientists to “submit final peer-reviewed journal manuscripts that result from NIH funds to PubMed Central (PMC) upon acceptance for publication.” The policy applies to manuscripts that:
Compliance with the policy requires four basic steps:
1. Determine applicability.
2. Address copyright. Ensure that your publishing agreement allows the paper to be posted to PMC in accordance with the NIH Public Access Policy.
3. Submit paper to PMC and approve public release.
4. Include the PMCID at the end of the full citation in your application or report. You do not need to find PMCIDs for all articles in an NIH grant application, proposal or progress report. You only need to include the PMCID when citing applicable papers that you author or that arise from your NIH-funded research.
Keep in mind:
NIH will delay processing of a non-competing continuation grant award if publications arising from it are not in compliance with the policy. Awards will be processed only after compliance has been achieved. It takes 6-8 weeks to complete the NIH Manuscript Submission (NIHMS) process. If you have not already submitted your manuscript, start the process as soon as possible and respond to any emails you receive from NIHMS immediately.
For more information about the policy and achieving compliance, see the Library's NIH Public Access Policy Guide.
The staff of the D. Samuel Gottesman Library is here to help. Contact Askref@einstein.yu.edu or call 718.430.3104.
If you are using Google Scholar on campus, you will be able to link to the full text of an article automatically, providing the Library has access to the journal in which it appears. If you are working off campus, set up your Google Scholar preferences page by typing in Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Library Links box and click the “Find Library” button. You can select up to five libraries.
Use this Google Scholar link when searching from off campus or when exporting to RefWorks.
Get more out of Google Scholar. See the Library’s Google Scholar Guide for tips.

Join the Book Club at our meeting on March 12, when we'll discuss David McCullough's bestseller, The Greater Journey. It's a fascinating account of how Paris changed the Americans who visited there in the nineteenth century and, in turn, how these travellers influenced developments in their own country after they came back home.
If you can't make it to the Book Club this time, start reading our next selection, The Golem and the Jinni, by Helene Wecker, "a spellbinding blend of fantasy and historical fiction," set in nineteenth century New York. We'll discuss it at our May 14 meeting.
