The Shiffman Medical Library now provides full access to the
General Section of the Journal of Visualized Experiments (JoVE). JoVE is a peer
reviewed, PubMed indexed journal devoted to the publication of biological,
medical, chemical and physical research in a video format. JoVE was established
as a new tool in life science publication and communication, with participation
of scientists from leading research institutions. JoVE takes advantage of video
technology to capture and transmit the multiple facets and intricacies of life
science research. Visualization greatly facilitates the understanding and
efficient reproduction of both basic and complex experimental techniques,
thereby addressing two of the biggest challenges faced by today’s life science
research community: i) low transparency and poor reproducibility of biological
experiments and ii) time and labor-intensive nature of learning new
experimental techniques. Finally, JoVE opens a new frontier in scientific
publication by promoting efficiency and performance of life science research.
Visualization of the temporal component, or the change over time integral to
many life science experiments, can now be done. JoVE allows you to publish
experiments in all their dimensions, overcoming the inherent limitations of
traditional, static print journals, thereby adding an entirely new parameter to
the communication of experimental data and research results.

The first release of the National Library of Medicine (NLM) Wireless Information System for Emergency Responders (WISER) for Android is now available.

This release allows users to:

• Leverage WISER’s full database of chemical, biological, and radiological substances from an Android device and search WISER’s full list of known substances.
• Take advantage of WISER’s new simplified search: search by name or ID using a single, integrated search field.
• Browse WISER substances by category.
• Track recent substance history.

WISER for Android can be downloaded and installed directly from Android’s Marketplace – https://market.android.com/details?id=gov.nih.nlm.wiser

Shiffman Medical Library is helping WSU School of Medicine students from the Hematology Oncology Peer Education (HOPE) interest group get more registered donors for the Michigan Organ Donor Registry.

They are joining with other Wayne State organizers at the Adamany Undergraduate Library (UGL) and other locations on main campus. This year the event runs January 12 – February 23, and we are remembering WSU student Rebecca Butler who lost her battle waiting for an organ in 2011.  View this inspiring short video to see Rebecca’s story .

WSU competes with 17 other Michigan colleges and universities to register the most donors or get the highest percentage based on enrollment. To see the campus standings view here.

On Friday, February 17, Shiffman Library will host a registration table where medical students will volunteer their time to sign up anyone who stops by. The event runs from 1 – 5 PM in the Shiffman Atrium. Bring your driver’s license to do the quick sign-up and to get more information about this life-saving program. If you don’t already have a RED HEART on your Michigan driver’s license you aren’t signed up.  You can also sign up online at this link http://giftoflifemichigan.org/become_a_donor?tag=wsu
