    v.3 of Randi Stocker's Literature Search Planning & Revision Tool now available.  (April 2012)

    The newest version of Randi Stocker's tool, Literature Search Planning & Revision Tool - v3, is now available for download.  The latest version should always be available from the Search Tools box located at the top of this guide's ARTICLES & JOURNALS page.

    Supplement the results of your CINAHL-Evidence-Based-Practice version search.  (February 2012) 

    There are a variety of reasons why a nursing article might appear first in another library database - so to do a more thorough search, add one or more of these library databases to your literature search:

    CINAHL - General Search version – use the Advanced search screen (click the “Advanced” link, located just below the search input box) to do a keyword search: http://ulib.iupui.edu/cgi-bin/proxy.pl?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?authtype=ip,uid&profile=ehost&defaultdb=rzh

    Ovid Nursing Database (found at the bottom of Ovid’s database menu):  http://ulib.iupui.edu/cgi-bin/proxy.pl?url=http://gateway.ovid.com/autologin.html

    Try one of the more limited nursing collections from a different search provider such as: 

    Search a broad biomedical database such as:  

    Use Ovid Healthstar – if the topic is related to Nursing Administration:  http://ulib.iupui.edu/cgi-bin/proxy.pl?url=http://gateway.ovid.com/autologin.html

     

    Use Web of Science:  http://ulib.iupui.edu/cgi-bin/proxy.pl?url=http://isiknowledge.com/wos     

    MSN Orientation slides & search worksheet(s) available for download  (August 2011)

    The Search Planning worksheet along with a demo planning worksheet with a sample search inserted are available for download.  

    The powerpoint files are too large to be loaded and will need to be divided up into smaller files.  They should be available by Friday, August 19 .

    Want some additional background information about a Journal?  (August 2011)

    See the new box, "Information ABOUT specific Journals" located in the left-hand column of this guide's ARTICLES & JOURNALS page.  This new box includes links to Cabell's Directories (covering selected journals in Nursing, Health Administration, Education, & Psychology), Journal Citation Reports-JCR (official source for journal Impact Factors), and Ulrichsweb Global Serials Directory.    

    Education & Information Technology digital Library (EdITLib) added to ARTICLES & JOURNALS page.  (August 2011)

     The EdITLib Digital Library covers research, developments, and applications related to all aspects of Educational Technology and E-Learning.  It is sponsored by the Association for the Advancement of Computing in Education (AACE) and has over 22,000 peer-reviewed and published international journal articles and conference papers.  It was added to two sections of the Nursing Databases list: "Education Databases" and "Technology">"Computer & Information Science Databases".

    No Longer Available:  Gale OneFile articles and Computer Database  (August 2011)

     The following databases are no longer subscribed to by IUPUI Libraries and are no longer available to IUPUI users:  Gale OneFile (which included full text articles in journals from many disciplines) and Computer Database.   Many of the full text articles included in these resources are also available in other IUPUI databases.  If you are concerned about the loss of a particular publication, please contact Librarian, Randi Stocker, (email: rstocker@iupui.edu; voicemail: 317-274-0494) who may be able to obtain it from a different source.

    Joanna Briggs Institute website redesigned and more   (March/April 2011)

     The Joanna Briggs Institute website has been totally redesigned.  It uses a new graphical apparoach which takes a couple of minutes to get used to, but which is quite user-friendly.   Some of the features of the new design include:  

    • A comprehensive 'Directory’ located at the top of the site (just click on the red pebble to learn more)
    • Cleaner navigation (simply click on the relevant piece of the model or via the list in the left hand navigation bar)
    • New language translation feature (top right corner of screen)
    • Advanced searching capabilities (top left corner of screen)
    • Descriptions of the various tools, products, and services are much clearer than before
    • Find out ‘what’s new’ by following JBI on Facebook or Twitter - use the link on the right-hand side of the JBI home page 

    Randi Stocker not receiving some messages  (March/April 2011)

     It appears that an automatic software "upgrade" to my smartphone last month is blocking text messages from some senders.  If you send me a text and don't happen to hear back from me within two hours, please follow-up with an email or voicemail message. 

    Library "Getting Started" handouts now available   (Aug 2010)

    Brief IUPUI library information for new students, faculty, and staff can be found in these colorful one-page handouts:  

    Oncourse Citation List is a great replacement for eShelf (spring 2010)

      Citation Lists reside in Oncourse Resources and the resulting links can easily be edited or deleted. The lists can be rolled over into newer versions of the course, and can be edited by other instructors.  The resulting citation lists contain links for retrieving the full text or physical location of the information. Copies of these citation lists can be attached to other items (e.g., assignments, forum postings, calendar items) within your Oncourse worksite.  Citations can be added from MetaSearch, Google Scholar, or typed in directly. 

    Aids for creating Oncourse Citation Lists can be found at:  Citation List -- Course Readings links in Oncourse Resources (http://www.ulib.iupui.edu/research/oncourse/citationlist)
