New OVID Full Text Journals In August, 2002, the UAMS Library added two additional collections of Ovid full text journals. The Essential Nursing Collection includes 40 top nursing journals indexed in Medline and/or CINAHL. Among the titles in this collection are American Journal of Nursing, JONA Journal of Nursing Administration, Clinical Nurse Specialist, and Cancer Nursing as well an many other journals that were previously available at UAMS only in print. The other new collection of full text Ovid journals is the Lippincott Williams & Wilkins High Impact Collection. This is a collection of Lippincott’s 50 top ranked, highly cited journals. Some of the titles in this collection that were formerly available only in print are American Journal of Surgical Pathology, Ear and Hearing, Epidemiology, and Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology. When searching the Ovid databases the designation
of “Ovid Full Text” will appear under the citation for these
journals and from there you may link directly to the full text article.
Most of the journals are full text from 1996 to the present. The addition
of these two new collections will expand the number of full text journals
in the “Journals @ Ovid Full Text” database by 61 journals.
To see the full list of journals in these collections go to “What’s
New” in the Library’s website at http://www.library.uams.edu/whatsnew/news/ovidnew.htm

Off-Campus Access to Electronic Resources UAMS Library patrons may now gain access to the Library’s online journals and databases from off-campus locations thanks to a new proxy service. How? When accessing the online resources from off-campus using the Library’s online catalog or webpage, the patron will be asked to supply his last name and UAMS badge barcode number. The name and barcode will be compared to the Library’s patron database. If a match is found the patron will be “authenticated” and will then be able to go to the online resources just as he would from on campus. This authentication will be valid for the rest of the browser session. In order to be authenticated a patron must have a record in the patron database. Student and housestaff records have been loaded into the database. Faculty and staff who have not used the Library, however, will need to contact the Library’s Circulation Desk at 686-5980 or come by the Library to register. On-campus users will not be asked for a name and barcode except for those resources that require a password. Note: CD’s available for AOL & Adobe It will be necessary for America Online (AOL) users to minimize their AOL browser and use either Internet Explorer (IE) or Netscape. It is also a good idea to have the latest version of the Adobe Reader on your computer. A CD-ROM may be checked out at the Circulation Desk with the needed software. [These browsers are available online, but if you do not have a high speed Internet connection it may take awhile to download them to your computer.] Please do not use the link provided by AOL for downloading either IE or Netscape because they have some AOL coding and will not work. Please contact Mary
Hawks (hawksmarys@uams.edu) or Dena
Plaisted (plaisteddenak@uams.edu) if you have questions.
