Library Toolbars: Access Research Tools from Your Browser

The Library is pleased to offer two new browser toolbars: a general Library Toolbar and the Clinician's Toolbar.

Use library toolbars to search key resources -- including PubMed@UCSF, Cross-Database Search, Library Quick Search, and the UCSF catalog -- from anywhere on the web. Get news feeds from UCSF Library News, as well as the University's News and Publications. Easily ask for help with library research and resources from any web page. The Clinician's Toolbar also features instant access to UpToDate and drug information.

View and download the Library Toolbar and Clinician's Toolbar. Please note that if you have an old library toolbar installed, you should uninstall it first.

Available Online: Annals of Internal Medicine & ACP Journal Club

The flagship journal Annals of Internal Medicine is now available online to the UCSF community through a library agreement. This journal, published by the American College of Physicians (ACP), is one of the top journals treating experimental and clinical medicine. Access includes the entire run, from Volume 1 in 1927 to the current issue, and includes Early Release articles. Online access to ACP Journal Club is also included.

Use RefWorks on Your Mobile Phone

RefWorks has announced the release of RefMobile, a new service that allows registered users to access their RefWorks accounts from a cell phone, smart phone, or PDA. All you need is a RefWorks account user name, password, and group code.

The RefMobile interface gives users immediate access to the most commonly used RefWorks functions, including searching entire RefWorks databases, viewing references by folders, adding and removing references from folders, creating new folders, and adding comments to Notes fields. You can also efficiently import new references using the SmartAdd feature.
