This presentation will show you how to find human sequence variants by chromosome position, gene, disease names, and database identifiers(RefSNP, Variant region ids) using NCBI’s new Variation Viewer (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/variation/view). You will learn how to browse the genome, navigate by gene or exon, filter results by one or more categories including allele frequencies from 1000 Genomes or GO-ESP, and link to related information in NCBI’s molecular databases and medical genetics resources such as ClinVar, MedGen and GTR. You will also be shown how to upload your own data to add to the display, and download results. Anyone who works with clinical or research variation data will find that the Variation Viewer provides a convenient and powerful way to access human variation data in a genomic context that is fully integrated with all other NCBI tools and databases.

Coming Soon! Use Your UMID to Request Articles and Books (ILLiad)
On August 26th, UMB faculty, staff, and students will be able to use their UMID and password to access ILLiad, the system that allows you to place article and book requests. A separate password for ILLiad will no longer be needed. One less password to deal with and the service is still free.
PLEASE NOTE:
- August 8 to August 15, no new ILLiad registrations will be accepted; people with existing accounts can still place requests.
- August 15, 4 p.m. to August 25, the ILLiad system will be down.
- August 26, UMID access to ILLiad goes live!
UMMC employees with an appointment in one of the UMB schools (for example residents/fellows) can also access ILLiad using their UMID. UMMC employees without an appointment in one of the UMB schools will no longer be eligible for the Article and Book Request service. Resources are still available by coming to the Library or you may want to consider becoming a Loansome Doc member. For information about this service, visit http://www.hshsl.umaryland.edu/services/LD_RegForm.doc.
If you have any questions, please contact Resource Sharing at rs@hshsl.umaryland.edu or call 410-706-3239.

Access Pharmacy Discontinued
For three years the Health Sciences and Human Services Library and the School of Pharmacy have co-funded a pilot to provide access to McGraw-Hill’s AccessPharmacy to all of UMB. For a number of reasons including escalating resource costs, the inability to “unbundle” core texts from the package, and budget constraints, the HS/HSL and the SOP have mutually agreed to discontinue co-licensing this resource. Please send any comments or concerns to M.J. Tooey, Associative Vice President, Academic Affairs and Executive Director, HS/HSL at mjtooey@hshsl.umaryland.edu.
