Library Event

The staff of Einstein's D. Samuel Gottesman Library in marking National Medical Library Month, invited the staff of the local Morris Park Branch of the New York Public Library (NYPL) to participate in a card-a-thon.

NYPL staff were in the Forchheimer lobby and in the library to register students, postdocs, faculty and staff for a new NYPL card.

Library staff were on-hand to highlight exciting new resources and programs here at Einstein.

Raffle Winners

The Library held weekly raffles during the month of October to celebrate National Medical Library Month. Participants answered a trivia question and were entered to win an Amazon or Starbucks gift card. 
 
The raffle winners are Ali Kalam, Miriam Salamon, Shakhawat Shamim, and Yael Steinberg.  Congratulations to our raffle winners and many thanks to all those who participated.

New NIH Resource To Analyze Biomedical Research Citations

The resource called the NIH Open Citation Collection (OCC), as described in the recent PLOS Biology essay is now freely available and ready for the biomedical and behavioral research communities to use.

You can access, visualize, and bulk download OCC data as part of the NIH’s webtool called iCite.  iCite allows users to access bibliometric tools, look at productivity of research, and see how often references are cited.

A New Tool From The CDC

The CDC’s In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) Success Estimator Tool will help estimate the chance of having a live birth using IVF — the most common type of Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART). This new tool can be used by patients and clinicians to enhance patient counseling and communication.

Access Millions of Images From
PubMed Central Articles

Open-i enables search and retrieval of abstracts and images (including charts, graphs, clinical images, etc.) from the open source literature, and biomedical image collections. Searching may be done using text queries as well as query images. Open-i provides access to over 3.7 million images from about 1.2 million PubMed Central articles; 7,470 chest x-rays with 3,955 radiology reports; 67,517 images from NLM History of Medicine collection; and 2,064 orthopedic illustrations.

Where Can You Find Information About Psychological Tests and/or Where Can You Get The Tests Themselves?

Access PsycINFO on the Library's website to locate the names of tests that have been used in research and written about in the literature.  Test names appear in both the Abstract field and the Tests & Measures field. In some cases, the full instrument or items from the instrument may be included in the full-text of the article. If this is the case, the test name is marked "Appended" in the Tests & Measures field. "Appended" typically means one of three things: that the full instrument is included as an appendix to the article, that items from the instrument are reproduced in a figure or table, or that items from the test are described in the methods section.

APA's Science Directorate is a good source for general information about psychological tests and test publishers. Visit their Testing and Assessment page, which includes a link to frequently asked questions about tests.

Another good source for test information is the Buros Institute Test Reviews Online.
