NIH Public Access Policy
Posted Thursday, February 7, 2008, 11:45 am by Judy Rieke
The Library of the Health Sciences wants to make faculty, staff and students aware of the recently adopted NIH Public Access Policy .  This policy ensures that the public has access to the final, peer-reviewed, published results of NIH funded research.  It requires that these articles be accessible to the public on PubMed Central to help advance science and improve human health.  The NIH Public Access Website:  http://publicaccess.nih.gov/ has been established to facilitate the process.

On December 26, 2007,  the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2007 (H.R. 2764) was signed and directs the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to provide public access to its funded research.  This new mandate requires researchers funded by NIH to submit their manuscripts to PubMed Central. Scientists who publish in journals that do not submit articles directly to PubMed Central must deposit their manuscripts no later than 12 months after the official date of publication.
 
Please check this policy information sheet for further details and links to pertinent websites for submission of articles.  If you have further questions about the NIH Public Access Policy , please e-mail PublicAccess@nih.gov  or contact Judy Rieke, 77-4129 or jrieke@medicine.nodak.edu  for assistance.  
MyNCBI Automatic Searches May be Delayed

Annual Medline/PubMed Year-End Processing will temporarily halt the addition of fully-indexed Medline citations to PubMed on November 14, 2007.  If you have MyNCBI searches that contain MeSH terms you will not receive new results until the Year-End Processing is complete.  Tentative completion is targeted for early December 2007.

NIH Public Access Policy.
Posted Wednesday, May 4, 2005, 9:10 am by HEFL Webmaster
After several months of debate and comment, NIH issued its "Policy on Enhancing Public Access to Archived Publications Resulting from NIH-Funded Research" on February 3, 2005. Guidelines for the implementation of that policy were issued April 29, 2005 and went into effect May 2, 2005.  The Policy requests and strongly encourages all NIH-funded investigators to make their peer-reviewed author's final manuscripts available to other researchers and the public at the NIH National Library of Medicine's PubMed Central (PMC) immediately after the final date of journal publication. At the time of submission, authors are given the option to release their manuscripts at a later time, up to 12 months after the official date of final publication. NIH expects that only in limited cases will authors deem it necessary to select the longest delay period.
NIH has developed an FAQ site to assist researchers in complying with this request.  This initiative is an important step in making federally funded research freely available and in the open access arena.  Please contact Judy Rieke at jrieke@medicine.nodak.edu in the library for comments or if you have further questions.

Children's Books for Belcourt - National Library Week Project
Posted Wednesday, April 21, 2004, 5:08 pm by HEFL Webmaster
The staff of the Harley E. French Library invites the faculty, staff and students to help us with our National Library Week Project.  We are asking for donations of new or used (in good condition please) children's books for the pediatrics unit at the Quentin N. Burdick Memorial Health Care facility in Belcourt on the Turtle Mountain Indian Reservation.  Drs. Sandeep Patel and Angela Erdrich received a small grant to make available books for children as they are waiting to see the doctors.  They very much want to supplement the books they bought through the grant with additional ones, so please help out if you can.

Bring the books to the library circulation desk.  We will make sure that they are delivered to the doctors to use in the waiting areas.

Thanks for helping @Your Library!

Project with Tribal College Libraries
Posted Monday, April 29, 2002, 12:00 am by HEFL Webmaster
The Harley E. French Library of the Health Sciences was recently awarded a $40,000 "Access to Electronic Health Information for the Public" subcontract from the Greater Midwest Region office of the National Networks of Libraries of Medicine. The subcontract is entitled "Tribal College Libraries: Linking Native Americans to Health Information." This project has four major objectives. They are to:

   * Train Native American health care consumers and health professionals needing consumer health information to find reliable electronic consumer health information through partnerships with tribal college library staff.
   * Develop a health information web page to prominently promote MEDLINEplus, PubMed, and ClinicalTrials.gov as well as other web resources applicable to Native American health consumers.
   * Provide tribal college libraries with access to a full text health information database.
   * Place two computer workstations with Internet access dedicated to the Native American consumers and health professionals needing consumer health information in all five North Dakota tribal college libraries.

The HEF Library in partnership with the tribal college libraries of North Dakota is planning and implementing the project over an 18 month period from March 1, 2002 to August 31, 2003. The five tribal colleges in North Dakota are: Cankdeska Cikana (Little Hoop) Community College in Fort Totten, Fort Berthold Community College in New Town, Sitting Bull College in Fort Yates, Turtle Mountain Community College in Belcourt, and United Tribes Technical College in Bismarck. Judy Rieke is the principal investigator for the subcontract. Contact her for more information (jrieke@medicine.nodak.edu).

Posted Thursday, April 19, 2001, 12:00 am by HEFL Webmaster
Each year the Harley E. French Library compiles a bibliography of publications by faculty of the School of Medicine and Health Sciences in preparation for the Elwyn B. Robinson Lecture, "In Recognition of Scholarship." Our bibliography is combined with the campus-wide bibliography compiled by the Chester Fritz Library, which sponsors the event. The tenth annual Robinson Lecture was given by Charles L. Robertson, Associate Professor in the Department of Aviation on 23 January 2001.

This year's bibliography covers publications by faculty of the School of Medicine and Health Sciences from September 1999 through August 2000.
