Throughout October, the Library celebrated National Medical Library Month by giving away a variety of library-branded items, holding weekly raffle drawings, waiving fines for overdue items during Amnesty Week and offering snacks to students studying for exams and to other patrons during our Open House. In addition, representatives from UpToDate and Unbound Medicine visited to help our users install clinical resources on their mobile device. Pictured here is raffle winner John Friedman.
For Windows Users:
At the end of October an update for EndNote X7 for Windows was released. The update, EN X7.0.2, fixes some issues with EndNote Web synchronization. EndNote users should be prompted to install the update when launching the EndNote X7 program. Make sure to exit out of all Microsoft Office programs before installing the update. To find out which version of EndNote you have, select “About EndNote” from the Help menu in your EndNote program.
For Mac Users:
The technical support folks at EndNote say they have been actively testing Mavericks compatibility with EndNote X7. They think that while, overall, X7 seems to be working fine with Mavericks, there have been a few minor glitches. EndNote plans to provide a patch sometime this month. Please contact EndNote tech support if you experience any "infelicities."
It appears the EndNote versions X5 and earlier are not compatible with Mavericks. As of now, EndNote is not planning to release updates to older versions. If you are using EN X5 or earlier, you can upgrade to EndNote X7.
If you are using Pages with EndNote, you might have to install a plug-in from Apple.

On October 9, Library staff hosted the Annual Meeting of the New York/New Jersey Chapter of the Medical Library Association in the Michael F.

Need Library resources on the go? See our updated mobile resources guide for iPhone, iPad, Android, Blackberry and Windows apps. The guide is intended to give an overview of biomedical resources available for your mobile device. The focus is on resources provided by the D. Samuel Gottesman Library. We've also included a number of freely available resources that may be of use.

The NLM has published a select set of subject guides that can serve as research starting points for health professionals, researchers and students. Though not intended as a comprehensive resource, each guide lists a variety of resources, many of which are freely accessible.
Guides include health statistics and conference proceedings. Two additional guides will be available in late fall covering drug information and genetics/genomics.
The topics for these guides are drawn from the most frequently asked questions the NLM Reference and Web Services staff encounter in e-mails and onsite. The staff plans to update the guides, reviewing them as needed to maintain their links and content.
