The Rotation: A Himmelfarb Library Blog
Resources, tools & health news from GW Himmelfarb Health Sciences Library
Take a study break in July by checking out one of the events highlighted in Healthy Living @ Himmelfarb's DC Events Guide! This month's calendar celebrates summer with the drive-in, the Lawn, and the Annual Independence Day Concert at the Mall. It may be hot out there, but there's still plenty to see and do in DC!
Join the Milken Institute School of Public Health for an exciting opportunity to engage in key public health issues in the GW SPH Summer Institute!
From July 29-August 1, the Milken Institute SPH will offer short, graduate-level courses in a flexible format and taught be leading research and global health faculty. The courses will incorporate experiential and skills-based learning and are perfect for current students and working professionals.
The courses offered will include:
Please excuse any disruptions as some areas of the library receive new carpeting and furniture. All work should be completed by July 1.
Thank you!

Beginning on June 10, PubMed's full-text links to Himmelfarb Library's collection have changed:
Find It @ Himmelfarb links display on each item in PubMed and can be used to access full-text articles. Courtesy of a new integration provided by Himmelfarb’s Browzine implementation, Find It @ Himmelfarb links first check for an available PDF; if a PDF is available, it will be delivered to the user immediately. If a PDF isn’t immediately available, Find It @ Himmelfarb links provides options for full-text access, or the option to request the article via the Documents2Go system in cases where the article isn’t available from Himmelfarb.
Full-Text @ Himmelfarb links have been retired for several reasons. Most importantly, the National Library of Medicine is discontinuing this service later this year. In addition, this linking system is incompatible with Himmelfarb’s new library systems, launched in conjunction with the Washington Research Library Consortium (WRLC) last summer, so the collection data which provides these links is increasingly dated.
If you have questions about these changes, please contact Laura Abate (leabate@gwu.edu).
