For the past year the MPower Virtual Research Library initiative has licensed ClinicalKey for researchers and students at UMB,UMCP, and the Universities at Shady Grove. Unfortunately, the MPower Virtual Library budget was reduced this year to the point where we can no longer support this resource. The last day of availability will be August 30, 2014. Please send any comments or concerns to M.J. Tooey, Associate Vice President, Academic Affairs and Executive Director, HS/HSL at mjtooey@hshsl.umaryland.edu.
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.
