You can follow along or listen as you would like;.
HPD Library is one of 4 Libraries that are available to you as Nova Students. The others are law, oceanographic, Alvin Sherman (main library), which you might utilize more frequently now, I will explain later; However, HPD will be your primary library. . Health Professions Division Library– is located downstairs next to juiceblendz , through the doors. Although the library is open M-Thursday 7-12 and Friday until 9 pm and the weekends 10-10; You can access library remotely 24/7 by logging onto www.nova.edu/hpdlibrary. I have highlighted all of the libiguide icons for the programs I will be discussing today. I will go over each in a few minutes.
When you log onto the library website, Notice the Top Level Tabs- These are the quick links (where you can check your library account): under services (where you can click on “Ask a Librarian” – ways to get in touch with a librarian. You can also access Interlibrary Loan to request books, chapters, journal articles from other libraries, and those that we have only in print. About us gives, library hours, directions, general info on library; Under the 2nd Layer tabs you can Search the entire NSU library catalog, Search the Journal Finder, PubMed, and HPD Databases for books and relevant articles. Please Note your program icons- they are the portal to your libguide where you can find info and resources specific to your program, including links to articles and databases.
The Library Catalog is located in the 2nd layer tab, furthest to your left _ Let’s Search the catalog for De Gowin’s Diagnostic Examination 10th edition: Enter title into search box/ click search to retrieve results: Scroll to the relevant title or image-De Gowin’s 10th ed and click View results. – Note: This book is available electronically and you can view it through access medicine resource- which has a built in reader so just login with your university credentials and it with open to book
We try to buy eBooks whenever possible so that the largest number of students, in as many places as possible, can use them. However, ebooks- come from several different publishers, so different books may work differently. Some have downloadable chapter PDFs – some you can keep, others have a time limit. And some have limited number of concurrent users – so if you can’t get in to a book, you may have to wait until someone else is done with it, just like a physical book
There are 3 types of books that are housed at the library (circulating-ones you can check out, reserve-available to view in library-these are usually current textbooks or required books, and ebooks-access online) . -Reserve books like Jarvis's Physical examination & health assessment (seen here) have restricted on campus use for 3 hours only; The are currently the only books housed in HPD Library as we are undergoing renovation. Reserve books are going to stay here while our circulating books have permanently been moved off site.
However - HPD students can have copies of the circulating books sent to you by Interlibrary Loan (ILL): you will received an email when the book is available and you can come to the circulation desk and pick it up: check is for 30 days.
You can access the ILL tab from the library Home page – It is located on the Drop down menu under services- log in with credentials – choose item type and fill in required info – Please allow for 1-3 business days
Scanned chapters or articles (from non-HPD institutions), as well as our off-site print journal collection, will be sent to you in approx. 3 to 4 business days. You get an email when it’s ready – click Electronically Received Items to view. It is the same process for requested books.
Let’s say that you are assigned to read this article by Lagu et al.; You need to retrieve the full text of the article. First, you will need to access JAMA Internal Medicine through the library databases.
From the HPD Library Homepage, use the Full-Text Finder to look for a specific journal in our electronic resources. Click on “Search Full-Text Finder”. Type in the exact journal title. If you are unsure of the exact title, use the drop-down box and select "Contains" to search for words within a title. Note: Search Text finder is the Second tab-not the first- You enter the title of the journal, not the title of the article.
Then, Browse for Article 1. Once you have selected a resource, click on the title. 2. The resource will not open directly to your article so browse to the correct year/volume/issue. 3. Once you select the correct year/volume/issue, you will see a list of articles for that specific issue. Browse the list until you find the article.

I want to briefly show you the pubmed database. You can access Pubmed through the HPD library PubMed quick search link,. PubMed is the 3rd 2nd level tab on library homepage, thus, your results will be linked to our Full Text Finder with the FindIt button on PubMed. You can access all library databases directly, The databases are the 4th 2nd level tab on library homepage, if you know a particular database that you would like to search for articles, we have an alphabetical list Just scroll to name and you can start your search
Because the library offers so many resources, there is a need to be program specific so students and faculty can easily access what they need.
So, I would like to highlight some of the features of each program’s libguide. These features you can find in common on each of the libguides and these speak to some the resources. From the biomedical informatics libguide, if you click on the HPD Student Info & References tab, you can find out general information on what the library has to offer. This a helpful ready reference for everything HPD Library if you have any questions. Information about room number sequencing, which can be a little confusing at first, can be found there. As well as printing services, as HPD students you receive $75 a year for printing services on campus. On the biomedical informatics libguide landing page you will information about finding full text and writing styles. You will also find these resources on each of the libguides, albeit it may be displayed differently.
On the disaster and emergency management libguide, if you click on resources for publishing, you will see how HPD library can help you out. If you are not sure where to submit your manuscript? Try consulting JANE, which is a journal/author name estimator and a freely available Web-based tool that identifies suitable journals for publication. In addition to locating journals, JANE can also locate relevant articles to cite in your paper and even help find manuscript reviewers.
On the Medical Education libguide you can information about non-HPD databases which you as NSU students have access. Eric , which s an online library of education research and information, and PyschInfo, resource devoted to peer-reviewed literature in behavioral science and mental health, are two additional resources that you might consider exploring during your research.
The nutrition libguide has a tab entirely devoted to Natural Medicines database. Which is the leading is an evidence-based database of information on the safety and effectiveness of natural medicines and alternative therapies. And we provide instructions for getting the APP.
The database chart is prominently displayed on the public health libguide. it is a reference tool so if you ever get confused as to which database is for what subject you can refer to this chart for clarification. Under Images and Mulitmedia you will see a list of the Apps that the library has available to students. If you click on the links you will find instructions on how to download them as well.

Briefly, endnote is our citation management software. Some of you might familiar with refworks or Zotero or Mendeley. At Nova, we offer endnote free for all students,. You can import citations from databases, Keep track & manage PDFs, Insert citations into your paper in a wide variety of styles (APA, AMA, MLA) using MS Word and other word processors, and it also builds your reference list at the end of your paper. There are instructions there on how to set it up, if you have any trouble you can come into the library with your laptop and we can help you
We are under construction. So during the library renovation there are no study rooms. If you would like a private study room you have check out one at Alvin Sherman Library. Otherwise you can sit at one the carrolls in the hallway or in the library. They are first come first serve. Phase 1 of the renovations should be completed by December and we will have a few study rooms available for check out . Not all because in Phase II of the renovation the other half of the library will be closed. SO we will not be at full capacity yet.
