The document provides an orientation to library resources for biomedical informatics students. It summarizes that the library website and liaison contact information can be found on the library guide. Required textbooks for the program are listed on the guide, noting if electronic or print versions are available through the library. It describes how to authenticate and access electronic resources, and how to request chapters from print books through interlibrary loan. Finding journal articles and full text is covered, along with links to APA style resources and information on downloading Office 365 and Endnote software.

Hinweis der Redaktion
When the Library gets the textbook list, we try to get the book electronically to accommodate our distance users and allow greater accessibility of the book. However, please note that we license these books through different eBook vendors and each title may be on a different ‘platform’ or have a different look & feel & capabilities as well as be limited by the number of copied of the book available. I have provided the hyperlinks when available. However each title will probably have a different number of simultaneous users. If there is a limit I indicate that. That means that if you try the link and we only have 1 ‘copy’ of the book available & someone else is using it, you may get a turn away notice.
You will be prompted to “authenticate” or log in to access any of the libraries’ subscription electronic resources. You will use the 1st box for Current students, faculty & staff and you will log in using your Sharklink username and password. (It should be the same one you use to log into Blackboard and check your Sharkmail.
