Published on 1 Comment on Search Health Information @ Himmelfarb

If you like the convenience and ease of searching Google and Google Scholar, but are concerned about the quality and availability of results retrieved, Himmelfarb Library may have a solution. Health Information @ Himmelfarb is a new search tool that replaced the multidatabase search this summer. You can use Health Information @ Himmelfarb to enter keyword searches and retrieve health sciences-focused content that is in Himmelfarb's collections. This includes full-text access to many of Himmelfarb's electronic resources, and records from the Library Catalog to locate print and multi-media resources.

Health Information @ Himmelfarb will be available as a pilot project throughout the upcoming academic year and we will be evaluating and fine-tuning it as the year progresses. Visit the Health Information @ Himmelfarb FAQ for more information and use the feedback form to share your comments or get answers to questions.

Published on 1 Comment on DynaMed on Multiple Mobile Devices

It is now easier to install DynaMed on multiple mobile devices.  DynaMed is installed after first creating a free Skyscape account. Skyscape now supports the installation of DynaMed on up to up to five devices of the same operating system. For example, if you have registered DynaMed on your iPhone, you can install it to your iPad using the same serial number. When you install Skyscape/DynaMed on the iPad, all of the resources that were registered to your iPhone are automatically installed. This also applies to the Android and BlackBerry platforms.

The maintenance of switching/adding devices is handled through Skyscape's My Account webpage. If you want to have the product installed on a sixth device, you will need to deactivate the subscription from one of the other five devices. You are able to do this from the My Account page.

DynaMed provides rapidly updated, evidence-based, clinically-oriented disease and drug information for health care professionals. If you need a serial number in order to install DynaMed on your mobile device, please send an email to Himmelfarb Library at himmelfarb@gwu.edu.
