Simbryo – New @ Himmelfarb
Simbryo: An Animated Tour of Human Development is now available via Himmelfarb Library. Simbryo provides access to a set of animation modules of the embryology system. Modules include Early Development, Cardiovascular, Genitourinary, Gastrointestinal, Pulmonary, Head and Neck, and Limbs.
Simbryo allows users to explore the spatial and temporal relationships in embryologic development via its visual representations. Simbryo includes a developmental clock to identify the time frame of each animated process. Users can control Simbryo's high-quality animations by pausing, slowing the speed, moving forward and backward, moving frame by frame, and zooming. Simbryo also provides pop-up text boxes to narrate the process displayed in the animation.
Simbryo can be access from both on- and off-campus locations. If you have questions, please contact Laura Abate (leabate@gwu.edu).
Changes to Himmelfarb Library Off-Campus Access
At the end of July 2015, a change to login procedure for off-campus access to Himmelfarb Library's online resources will go into effect. Currently, users can login via the WRLC Library Services login using a combination of their last name and either their GWid (G#) or GWorld barcode number.
Beginning later this month, users will need to use their GW NetID and password to login via WRLC Library Services. The GW NetID and password combination is the same combination used to login to GW Email and Blackboard.
All GW students, residents, faculty and staff are eligible for a GW NetID. If you haven't done so already, please claim your GW NetID.
If you have any questions, please contact me at leabate@gwu.edu
