Himmelfarb Library is pleased to announce that more online resources are now optimized for use on mobile devices.  Health Information @ Himmelarb, CINAHL with Full-Text, Health Policy Reference Center, and SportDISCUS with Full-Text are now designed to automatically detect Smartphones and tablet computers and provide a search interface designed for mobile devices.  Apple iPads will continue to access the complete desktop version of these resources.

The updated mobile interface is tailor-made for the smaller screens of mobile devices and provides the most important search and retrieval features and functionality right in the palm of your hand.  Mobile device users now have access to the same user-friendly and easy-to-use search experience that is available online.

For more information, please access our guide to Mobile/Handheld Resources or ask us!

Additional space for quiet study is available at the following locations:

All passes expire on December 1, 2012.
  • The Gelman Library which is open to all University students on a first-come, first served basis.
