The link to limits on the PubMed results screen has been replaced by a results filter sidebar. The filter sidebar options will work the same way as the limit selections by keeping your limits selected throughout all of your subsequent searches until the selection is cleared. To see how this looks, take a look at the NLM Technical Bulletin which has screenshots of how it looks.

The winners and finalists of the 2012 Image of Research competition are on display at the Daley Library from April 19 – May 31. The winners are also on display at the Library of the Health Sciences – Chicago.
The Image of Research is an annual interdisciplinary exhibit competition sponsored by the Graduate College and the University Library to showcase the breadth and diversity of research at UIC. Students create and submit an image with aesthetic appeal that expresses his or her research. Each entry includes a 100-200 word explanation of the image’s context, which may include such information as what the image is (if it is not immediately apparent) and how the image relates to the student’s work at UIC.
The visuals and text from previous years are available online.
The UIC Library is pleased to have purchased the online index, Education Index Retrospective 1929-1983. This resource indexes more than 800 periodicals and yearbooks, and cites approximately 850,000 articles, including book reviews. Subject coverage includes adult education, continuing education, literacy standards, multicultural/ethnic education, teaching methods and much more.
It can be searched alone or simultaneously with Education Abstracts, which provides current coverage through indexing and abstracts for more than 680 periodicals and yearbooks, beginning with 1983. Books on education published after 1995 are also indexed. Both databases are available on the EBSCOhost platform and can be searched with other EBSCOhost databases as well.

While I was on vacation, PubMed finally added citation manager as an option for where you can send your results! It will create a text file that can be imported to a bibliographic management program such as EndNote or RefWorks. RefWorks users also have the option of using Ref-Grab It, a free plug in for your browser that lets you move your citations from PubMed into RefWorks.
The Monthly Health Observances Guide has been updated with May’s observances:
A widget in the center of the guide links to a collection of UIC Library books on LibraryThing. These library books have been tagged with where a circulating copy of the book is located and which observance it applies to. Each book also has a link to the catalog record so you can view the book through the catalog.
See a book you like? Request it by going through your library account.
LHS Chicago will rotate a monthly display of health observances’ books on the first floor of the library near the circulation desk. LHS Peoria will now join LHS Chicago in displaying its books in the open reading area.
The Health Policy Research and Subject Guide has links to resources on health policy, health economics, health management, and health statistics. There are sections on health sciences and policy-related databases, finding books on health policy, statistics from a global to local level, health policy-related websites, and links to healthy policy journals. This guide was created by former LHS Chicago practicum student, Corinne Miller.
UIC Library now has an online subscription to the USP-NF, the United States Pharmacopeia–National Formulary. You will find information on drugs, dietary supplements, procedures for tests, and more. You will find this resource on the Databases A-Z guide and the Health Sciences Gateway. Make sure you log on and log off at the start and end of each session because only a limited amount of users can access this at one time.
