New Research Guide from the Library

The Library has published a new research guide, Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) which can be viewed at http://libguides.einstein.yu.edu/content.php?pid=488125 .  This guide can help you find information to understand the new health care options and how it may apply to you.

New feature in NCBI: SciENcv

SciENcv is a new feature in My NCBI that helps users create an online professional profile that can be made public to share with others. Users can document their education, employment, research activities, publications, honors, research grants, and other professional contributions.

eRA Commons account holders who have linked their eRA account to My NCBI will find their SciENcv profile automatically populated with the information stored in their eRA Commons profile. You do not have to have an eRA Commons account to create a SciENcv profile.
