We wish all our patrons a happy holiday.

Please be aware that the SFX server will be out of service on Wednesday, from 6PM until 7:30PM, for installation of additional memory. The server supports the Library's GET IT service. It will be upgraded with additional memory thereby increasing the load speed of our GET IT menu of services.

You will automatically be re-directed to Wiley. If you need assistance, please contact the InfoDesk at infodesk@med.cornell.edu or call 212-746-6055.

Come by and take a look at our congratulatory message to the Class of 2008, featuring real video from this year's graduation ceremony at Carnegie Hall. The display screen is located in the Library Commons, just inside the Library entrance.

Thanks to all the students who attended one of our Library workshops from January to May this year. We look forward to presenting a new round of free classes starting in September. While there will be no scheduled classes over the summer, you can still take advantage of Library learning by registering for an individual or group consultation at a time and place convenient to you. Do you want to build better searches? Explore evidence-based medicine? Manage your bibliographic references? Learn about open access publishing? On these and similar topics, we can customize a tutorial to meet your information needs. Submit your request online, e-mail libeducation@med.cornell.edu or call 212-746-6061.

Recipients of NIH funding should be aware of a new reporting requirement that has been implemented as part of the NIH Public Access Policy. Investigators must deposit all peer-reviewed articles accepted for publication on or after April 7, 2008 that arise from direct costs funded by NIH into PubMed Central (PMC). PMC is NIH's digital archive of biomedical and life sciences journal literature. Full text of the articles will be made freely available to the public no later than 12 months after publication. Beginning May 25, 2008, anyone submitting an application, proposal or progress report to the NIH must include the PubMed Central or NIH Manuscript Submission reference number when citing applicable articles accepted for publication on or after April 7, 2008 that arose from direct costs funded by NIH. The new requirement replaces NIH's previous policy asking that authors voluntarily deposit their publications.

The Weill Cornell Medical Library will help authors meet the NIH requirements by sharing updated information, identifying journal publisher policies and support services, and meeting with authors. See the Library's NIH Public Access Policy page for more information, including a tutorial and handout outlining the new NIH reporting requirements. You may also register for a consultation or class with Library Education & Outreach, 212-746-6061 or libeducation@med.cornell.edu.

Free Library printing will continue until the Print and Photocopy Management System (PPMS) works consistently. We apologize for the problems you may have encountered with printing as we work through the technical issues with our PPMS system. We will announce the beginning of charging when the system is working consistently. We will keep you informed of our progress and we appreciate your patience as we work to make PPMS efficient for you.
