February 3rd – Access to HS/HSL Resources from UMMC is Changing
Effective February 3, 2014, access to Health Sciences and Human Services Library (HS/HSL) e-resources from UMMC computers is changing. For UMMC employees who have an appointment in one of the UMB schools, access will require your UMID and password. For all other UMMC employees access is no longer available except from within the Library building.
UMB faculty, staff and students who want to access HS/HSL e-resources from UMMC computers will need to use their UMID and password. Questions about your UMID, visit Getting Started at UM at (http://www.umaryland.edu/helpdesk/getting_started/index.html).
This change is due to HS/HSL licensing agreements with publishers/vendors.
Exceptions
E-resources that are licensed by HS/HSL and will continue to be available to all UMMC employees are:
- Facts and Comparisons from Thomson Reuters (expiration date 5/31/2014)
- Databases including Medline and HAPI from OVID (expiration date 12/31/2014)
- Journals from Lippincott, Williams and Wilkins (expiration date 12/31/2014)
- ClinicalKey from Elsevier (expiration date 8/31/2014)
These resources are paid in part by UMMC and will be available through their expiration date. At that time, UMMC will determine whether these resources will be renewed and access expanded to the UMMS.
UMMC also licenses other resources including UpToDate and Micromedex. UMMC licensed resources will not be affected by this change.
If you have questions, please contact Everly Brown, Head of Information Services (ebrown@hshsl.umaryland.edu).

Request a Research Consent Form Review
Are you an investigator preparing a research protocol submission to the IRB? This service may be of interest!
HS/HSL librarians serving on the UMB Institutional Review Board have noticed that many research consent forms are written above the recommended reading level for patients and are often confusing and difficult to understand. The Reference Department offers a service to review your consent form before it is submitted with your protocol. We will offer suggestions for simplified language and note key sections that need revision or are likely to be confusing for patients. We will return the form to you with these suggestions within three business days. You can submit your consent forms on the HS/HSL website (in the Assistance section).
If you have any questions, please contact the Reference Desk at 410-706-7995, hshsl@umaryland.edu.
