On Wednesday at the Shared Resources Fair, Calder librarians spoke with more than 50 researchers about Tools to Save Time, Increase Productivity, & Help You Get Promoted. Many of the presented resources have been highlighted on this blog as well, including creating Auto Alerts to stay up to date with the latest evidence, using SCOPUS to find your h-index, and using SciVal Experts (formerly Collexis) to find collaborators on campus. Don't forget, we offer classes on all of these resources and are also happy to come out to where you are to help you in your research efforts.

Creating a Customized PubMed Filter for Non-Indexed Articles

Below is a filter that you can add to your PubMed My NCBI account. With this filter, you can quickly look at only the non-indexed articles in PubMed. (The non-indexed articles are the new, “In Process” records that haven’t been indexed yet, the records sent in by the publisher and thus never indexed, and the old, non-indexed articles. These represent nearly 2 million articles.
Here’s when I use this option. There are only two limits that don’t eliminate the non-indexed articles—the publication date range and the language. If I still have too many irrelevant results, I might want to apply additional limits. So, I first look at the non-indexed articles by looking at my results in my filter (below) and selecting any of the articles I want to keep into my temporary Clipboard or permanent Collection. Then, I apply additional limits to my search. I will have eliminated the non-indexed articles from my results, but that is fine, as I have already looked through the non-indexed articles.

Are you looking for a quick bite for lunch? There is a new truck in town! Look for the "Outtakes" food cart making its rounds through campus. The cart is on the Fred Cowell Mall in front of your very own library every day from 11 to 12, offering salads, sandwiches, yogurt, fruit, chips, cereal, and candy. From there the cart travels to the Schoninger Research Quadrangle and then the Mailman Center for Child Development. The next time you're looking for something to eat, grab something on the "Outtakes" cart and then bring it into the library, where you have access to computers and study space. Look forward to seeing you soon!
