UIC Library has subscribed to two new resources, one geared towards nursing while the other one is a point-of-care tool. Both resources will be added to the Research Guides.
DynaMed is a clinical tool that provides “clinically organized” summaries for 3,000 disease and condition topics. It is updated daily. It also includes over 800 topic summaries on AHFS Drug Information. DynaMed recently added calculators for math, statistics, by specialty, and more.
DynaMed can be downloaded to a PDAs, smartphones, iPhone, and iTouch. In order to install DynaMed on a PDA device, you will need to obtain a DynaMed serial number. To request a DynaMed serial number, please contact Ebsco through dynamedsupport@epnet.com. Please indicate which device you are using and use your UIC email for authentication purposes.
