New EndNote PubMed Filter

There have been two calls this week from EndNote users having trouble with importing references from PubMed. The reported problems are that only one PubMed reference/citation from a list of many is imported or that all the selected references appear as a single EndNote reference.

The solution is directing patrons to the EndNote web site (www.endnote.com) where they will find an icon, in the top right corner of the page, labeled "PubMed News Alert 1/14/04." Following this link will take users to a page where they can download the new EndNote PubMed import filter for both PCs and Macs. Patrons may ask what to do with this downloaded file and you can direct them to save it to their "filter folder" within the EndNote directory (folder) on their computer. This should solve their problem. You can also refer them to Lisa or Jim.

Exam Master for the USMLE

Today we withdrew our copy of the software, 'Exam Master for the USMLE' from the educational tech collection. We were unable to rerun this software from any of our current ed tech machines due to a lockout code on the program.
You can refer patrons who are looking for USMLE test prep materials to the 'USMLE Bio-Medical Library Resources' link on our Library Instruction - Library Handouts - Subject Guides page. Or directly at: http://courses.lib.umn.edu/page.phtml?page_id=897
If you have further questions, feel free to direct them to Lisa or Katherine
