Library System

All of the Wayne State University Libraries will be closed for the holiday break from December 24- January 2, reopening on Tuesday, January 3.

Have a wonderful holiday!

If you weren’t able to attend the events during Open Access Week, have no fear, we still have plenty of information for you! Our scholarly communications librarian would love to work with you to add your content to digitalcommons@wsu. To get started, visit http://www.lib.wayne.edu/services/research/scholarly/digitalcommons.php

Open Science Medicine (OSM) is a group of medical students at Wayne State University. All mnemonics and jovigrams portrayed in these videos are original to the students in our group unless otherwise stated. Drawing the jovigrams or mnemonics out a few times greatly improves rapid recall and (they are hoping) aids in long-term retention of the material.
