This will give you access to the OVID databases which Himmelfarb subscribes to as well as access to many of the databases available through the Gelman Library. You will be prompted to enter a username, which is your social security number. We understand that users would like to have access to all Library resources from home, office, and other remote sites, but there are significant technical and financial reasons why this is not yet possible. We are working with University technical staff to overcome these obstacles. We are faced, as is every other department in the Medical Center, with financial constraints.
Electronic products are generally more costly than their print counterparts.
Many textbooks are also not available online or are only available within a package which could be prohibitively expensive. Over the last year we have subscribed to Harrison's Online and Scientific American Medicine Online . Both are valuable resources for Internal Medicine. The Library also added the American Journal of Public Health to its collection of electronic journal titles. Other electronic products that we have reviewed are either extremely expensive or are incompatible with our systems.
