EndNote X3 is now available for check-out from the library. You may check-out a CD for home use at no charge, however if you would like EndNote on your work computer you will need to provide your computer Asset Tag and Cost Center Number so that the HFHS IT Department can bill your department for the installation process.
**Please note that departments that have their own IT department will not have to pay an installation charge for work computers. Please have your system administrator check-out a CD and fill out an individual user agreement for each computer in which EndNote will be installed. Every user MUST fill out a user agreement form.
New instructions on using EndNote X3 are available on the Sladen Education & Training web site.
If you are wondering if you should upgrade to the newer version of EndNote, here are some of the new things you will be able to do with EndNote X3:
1. Obtain full-text references from online journals to which Sladen subscribes
2. Easily transfer references to EndNote Web
3. Create groups and smart groups using your own specified criteria. For example, if you wish to create a group within your master list of references that are published by a specific journal, author, topic, or publication year, you can create a smart group that will automatically sort these references for you!
4. Compare duplicate records side-by-side for easy review.
5. Is compatible with Windows and Macintosh
To sign-up for EndNote Web 2.8 click here. Please ensure that you use an HFHS email address. The added benefit of using EndNote Web is that you will be able to import EndNote library references (from your computer) and access your libraries from all over the world without having to email yourself EndNote libraries as an email attachment.
Manuscript preparation services provided by Sladen Library will use EndNote X3 which is backward compatible with EndNote X1 etc. Information on manuscript preparation services can be found at the bottom of the EndNote FAQ page.
The Sladen Library will be holding EndNote X3 Drop-in Q & A Consultations on Wednesday and Thursday mornings from January 21st through April 1st. The sessions will be held in the library on K-17 from 9:00-10:00 am.

Cup holder entry for the Michigan Hospital Association Achievements Contest
Henry Ford Hospital has a long tradition of innovation which included the design and fabrication of medical instruments. The early facilities department included a machine shop that built suggested designs by the hospital staff. Among the most notable patented pieces included the Barron Food pump, designed by Dr. James Barron, and the liquid oxygen tent by Dr. Frank Hartman. Often the design was based on the need for the device to assist in patient care, as in Dr. Conrad Lam's noted “six finger glove”. The facilities staff created a glove fitted with a small knife to assist in surgical procedures.
The design for a medical cup holder was part of the Michigan Hospital Association Hospital Achievements Contest in 1959. The event was co-sponsored by Michigan Blue Cross and eight Henry Ford Hospital employees won cash awards or honorable mentions for their designs. The top winner was Cass Pawczuk, who won $500.00 for his “traveling purchase request” form. The form was described as a means to record quantity, price and vendor information on items to be purchased by the purchasing department. Other winners included entries for the development of a metal oxygen rack for patient transport and a clavicle strap for use in the orthopedic department. The design goal was to improve the quality of the Henry Ford Hospital patient experience. The awards were presented at the 40th annual convention of the Michigan Hospital Association at the Sheraton-Cadillac Hotel in Detroit.

A Brief Explanation of DOIs
You may have noticed strange codes that look something like 10.1000/182 appearing on some journal articles and e-books. These codes are DOIs – Digital Object Identifiers. A DOI is a unique, persistent alphanumeric string used to identify content on the Internet that can be defined as intellectual property. For example, many online journal articles and electronic books have a DOI assigned to them by their publisher. A DOI can also be used to identify audio and images. The nice thing about DOIs is that even though the location of an electronic document may change, say if an e-journal moved its content to a new publisher, the DOI will remain the same and the content can be found at the new location. A DOI will never change, so it can be used as a permanent link to an electronic document. Owing to their stability, and because many articles are now only published online, it is speculated that DOIs will soon be standard information included in reference lists.
If you have a DOI and need to locate the item it refers to, you can use a DOI Resolver. There is one available at the DOI website http://dx.doi.org/, and another from CrossRef http://www.crossref.org/. You can also add the URL “http://dx.doi.org/” to the beginning of a DOI string directly in your web browser search box. (Note: DOI strings always begin with the number 10.) Use caution when searching for a DOI in search engines like Google as you may be led to an article that references the DOI you’re looking for, not the original work.
Alternatively, if you have an article or book’s citation information and want to find out the DOI that belongs to it, you can use CrossRef’s DOI LookUp http://www.crossref.org/guestquery.

A Number of Study Guides Now Available as E-Books
Do you need to study for an exam or review a particular topic? If the book you want is checked out or you need to access it from your computer, we now offer a number of review and examination question books as electronic books that can be accessed through the Henry Ford System Libraries online catalog. In the previous issue of the Sladen Library News, we explained how to perform a general search for e-books in the catalog. Finding test review books generally follows the same procedure.
1) Begin by switching to the “Power Search” option located below the search box.
2) In Power Search, enter in keywords that describe book. You may want to try “pretest”, “exam”, “examination”, or “review”. If you search for more than one term at a time, be sure to change each drop down menu to “words or phrase” and “OR” the terms.
3) Finally, at the Type field, use the drop down menu to change the field to “electronic”, and then click Search.
A list of e-books matching your search will display. In order to access the electronic content, click on the small chain link icon located at the bottom right corner of each listing.
A number of our new test review books come from NetLibrary. A few of these titles include:
Case Files Internal Medicine, Eugene C. Toy, 2009
Passing the USMLE: Clinical Knowledge , Ahmad Wagih Abdel-Halim, 2009

Notice About Importing 2010 Citations into EndNote
Attention EndNote users: For those of you on version X2 or earlier, you may notice that when you import references from databases such as PubMed, the year field may appear to be blank for 2010 publications. EndNote is aware of this problem and has indicated that the temporary workaround for this problem is to simply double-click the reference in question and enter the year in the appropriate field.
We are hoping to release EndNote X3 in the next week or so which will rectify this problem.
Many thanks for your patience. Below is information pertaining to this particular issue: http://endnote.com/support/Faqs/Import/faq20.asp
