Wednesday 5 December 2012

The New Books List for November is now ready with titles ranging across a wide spectrum. We have purchased the new edition of the Oxford handbook of nutrition and dietetics as well as the 18th edition of Smith and Tanagho's general urology. We have also acquired titles on radiology such as Chest x-rays for medical students and Primer of diagnostic imaging.

Surgical titles include Handbook of surgical consent by R Nair and How to operate: for MRCS candidates and other surgical trainees by M Stephenson which contains three DVDs covering 10 hours of introduction to each procedure. Nurses will be interested in Becoming a registered nurse: making the transition to practice by J Temple and An introduction to evidence-based practise in nursing and healthcare by A Poole.

Feel free to recommend titles for us to add to our stock and if all you need is a novel, don't forget our General Reads shelves.

Change to Athens Login on Science Direct

Science Direct is the journal platform from the publisher Elsevier.  We use this to access The Lancet across the Trust (more titles to come in the new year).

A change has been made to how you login using NHS Athens.

Click on "Login"

Click on "Go to Athens / Institution Login"

Choose "OpenAthens Federation (Eduserv)" from the drop down list under "Please choose your institution's region or group"

You will be presented with a long list.  Fortunately this is arranged in alphabetical order - scroll down and click on "NHS England"

You will now be prompted for your regular NHS Athens login.

Fortunately when you next login on that machine you will see a new option when you click "Login" of "NHS England Login" so it will not be such a lot of clicks.
