Bme451 Fall07 Final

Selected Library Resources for Biomedical Microdevices Research Sara Tompson Science & Engineering Library Team Leader, sarat@usc.edu, 740-8700 For Professor Ellis Meng’s BME 451 class “ Fundamentals of Biomedical Microdevices” Fall 2007

Interdisciplinary endeavors require thoughtful literature research strategies!

Resources in literature of more than one discipline

Terminology can vary by discipline

May not have any core texts

At a high topical level, what would you say are the main disciplines used in this course?

Biomedical Microdevices: Interdisciplinary

Berry & Williamson in Ackerson say, for “nanotechnology”:

IOP’s Nanotechnology first journal (field development landmark) – 1990

Best databases (all at USC!): Science Citation Index (in Web of Knowledge), * Compendex (in Engineering Village 2), * Inspec (in EV2), * SciFinder Scholar (requires local file download to access), PubMed.

*-ed items, PLUS Worldcat – good for conference proceedings. I’d add: IEEE Xplore!

Biomedical Microdevices: Interdisciplinary

Library of Congress “Science Tracer Bullets”:

Nanotechnology closest - http://www.loc.gov/rr/scitech/tracer-bullets/nanotechnologytb.html

National Library of Medicine’s MeSH database: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/MBrowser.html

Anyone used either? (More for librarians, but useful to all.) Let’s take a look…

How to access from USC Libraries page…Anyone Know?!

USC Libraries “Scholars Portal”

Webfeat “federated search”

Not normally recommended, too many false hits, not very granular search

HOWEVER… good for inter-disciplinary resource pointers

STILL must go down and DESELECT catalogs (HELIX, HOMER, USC Advocat)

Scholars Portal MEMS Surgery Results ebrary hidden treasures! SP useful for knowing WHERE to do a more detailed search

ebrary Results: Citation done for you!

“ Advances in microsensors and bioMEMS are likely to yield great dividends. Current triaxial accelerometers and micropressure transducers are small enough and low-power enough to be implanted in the body.”

National Academy of Engineering Staff . Seventh Annual Symposium on Frontiers of Engineerin g. Washington, DC, USA: National Academies Press, 2002. p 97. http://site.ebrary.com/lib/uscisd/Doc?id=10038538&ppg=107

Back to Databases: Access to Articles, Proceedings

Remember, Ackerson text said: Science Citation Index, Compendex, Inspec, SciFinder Scholar, PubMed . I added IEEE Xplore.

What database platforms/suites include these?

Scholars Portal results for MEMS surgery said: ebrary (NOTE some false hits, though); Inspec (46 hits), ProQuest Research Library Complete (34), IEEE Explore (23), JSTOR (23), Web of Science Science Citation Index Expanded (20).

From what point can you access all of these?

Let’s finish up by looking at Inspec, Xplore and Medline (subscription version of?...)

Defaults to both, so unclick as needed

Try BOTH fulltext links

ALL but books at USC!

NOTE: Xplore and OVID (next slides) have simultaneous user limits – remember to log out! (EV2-Inspec & Compendex, ProQuest and Web of Science do NOT have limits – but DO still logout please).

Option 2 of Medline recommended; also, CINAHL good for social aspects.

MeSH default is ON; HSC librarians recommend on, so you use best retrieval vocabulary. Useful to “explode” the “trees” in the MeSH hierarchy to get the TOTALLY BEST search terms. I usually ALSO include the “X as keyword” search option.

Try BOTH fulltext link options
