Introducing... LibGuides
LIBGUIDES - NEW ONLINE GUIDES WEBSITE
We are excited to launch our new online guides platform this month. Libguides will provide guides, tutorials and videos to support all staff in need of library and information support. Current guides include
· Resources for medical, nursing, HSCP and management staff
· Writing for publication
· Searching for evidence
· How to find a journal or database
We have just started to create these guides and we are adding to them frequently so don’t forget to check back regularly and tell us what you think.
The guides are freely accessible at this address: https://svhg.libguides.com or from our website homepage.
Embase trial
We are currently trialling access to Embase on the Ovid platform.
Embase is a premier biomedical database covering all of Medline plus 2700 unique journals. It is particularly strong in pharmacological information and conference proceedings.
To access, go to our A-Z Databases and search for Embase
The trial is being run courtesy of HSE Health Library Ireland. It ends on 31st December.
NEW E-Resource links
** NEW E-RESOURCES WEBSITES**
We have made the following changes in how we provide access to our E-Journals and Databases
1) E-Journals are now accessible on a new platform, called Publication Finder. The link to this is in the Pink E-Journals and Databases block on the top left of your screen (as before)
2) Database links are now available on a separate platform, Libguides A-Z Databases, and the link to this is also in the Pink E-Journals and Databases block on the top left of your screen.
3) Remote access is still available using OpenAthens. Click on any resource link (in Publication Finder or A-Z Databases) when not in the hospital and you will be prompted for your OpenAthens username and password. You will only be asked for this once.
OpenAthens application forms are available in the Blue Library Forms block. Guides and help are available in the Yellow block. Contact the libraries for further assistance
