Sometimes unimpressive-looking books can have world-changing impact. Gregor Mendel’s Versuche über Pflanzen-Hybriden (Brno: Verlag des Vereines, 1866) is a perfect example of this. When it was first published, it was largely ignored, but in it he presented the Mendelian ratios which laid the foundation for modern genetics, earning for him the unofficial title “Father of genetics.”

1 of 20 Gregor Johann Mendel (1822-1884) was a botanist and Augustinian monk. He was born Johann Mendel, the only son of a farming family in Austria. At age 11, he was sent to school in Troppau. He then enrolled in the Philosophical Institute at the University of Olmütz, where he excelled in physics and mathematics graduating in 1843. That year, against his family’s wishes, Mendel entered the Augustinian Abbey of St. Thomas in Brno, and took the name Gregor. In 1851, Mendel was sent to the University of Vienna to study science and obtain teaching certification. In 1853, he returned to the monastery to teach secondary school and conduct research. In addition to plants, he studied bees, astronomy, and meteorology. Most of his published research was in meteorology, and he founded the Austrian Meteorological Society in 1865. He was elected abbot in 1868, and gave up research to accommodate his new responsibilities. He died in 1884 and was buried in the monastery.

When Mendel began his experiments, it was generally accepted that traits of offspring were a blend of all traits of its parents, and that hybrids invariably reverted to the parents’ original forms—no stable new varieties could be generated. Mendel chose to work with peas because there were many varieties with distinctive traits, controlled pollination was easy, and new generations could be produced quickly. His experiments, which involved nearly 30,000 plants over almost ten years, led Mendel to three major conclusions: the Law of Segregation and the Law of Independent Assortment, and that heredity follows basic statistical patterns. He asserted that these principles apply to all organisms.

Mendel presented his findings in two lectures before the Natural Science Society in Brno in 1865, which published them in Verhandlungen des naturforschenden Verines in Brünn (Transactions of the Natural Science Society in Brno) in 1866. When the paper was published, Mendel asked for forty reprints and sent many of them to prominent scientists, but his work was largely ignored until 1900, when three botanists arrived at the same conclusions, only to discover that Mendel had published first. Initially controversial, Mendel’s work became increasingly accepted and influential.

The Health Sciences Library’s copy of Mendel’s paper was extracted from the journal. It is a small, thin volume, printed in a Roman typeface with no illustrations, narrow margins, and a gray library buckram binding.

Rare materials are available to individuals or groups by appointment on Wednesday mornings and Thursday afternoons, or at other times by arrangement. To schedule an appointment, contact Emily Epstein, [email protected] or 303-724-2119.

Do you ignore phone or email messages from science or medical reporters, hoping they won't call back?

If you don't call back, will they share inaccurate information with the public?

If you do call back, are you contributing to a clear understanding of a topic, or adding to the general confusion about a discovery's importance or impact?

Ed Yong, award winning journalist and National Geographic blogger, acknowledges, "there’s a lot of nervousness about giving comments to journalists."

He has shared some tips he believes will bring some clarity to science reporting. You can effectively participate, provide information that will help the public, and give context to new discoveries. You can prevent misunderstanding.

2 of 20 Health journalist Gary Schwitzer was so discouraged by the

poor quality of health news reporting, he established HealthNewsReview.org and established 10 principles for quality reporting. He, and a group of reviewers rate news stories about health innovations and discoveries using these principles. They believe that communicating these 10 elements can help the public better understand scientific and medical discoveries and their potential impact on all our lives. Keeping these 10 principles in mind when you are called for background or comment may help you improve reporting, and save clinical colleagues from an onslaught of unnecessary patient calls and questions!

The Library also offers three books that offer tips, training, and illustrations of how to communicate science more effectively to the public or the media:

A scientist's guide to talking with the media : practical advice from the Union of Concerned Scientists by Richard Hayes and Daniel Grossman. HSL General Collection/3rd Floor Q 225 H4184s 2006 Am I making myself clear? : a scientist's guide to talking to the public by Cornelia Dean. HSL General Collection/3rd Floor Q 223 D283a 2009 Don't be such a scientist : talking substance in an age of style by Randy Olson. HSL General Collection/3rd Floor Q 223 O527d 2009

You can help improve the quality of science understanding with just a few simple and effective tools. In an era of apathy about science education, if you don't help the public learn, who will?

Trip Database is an evidence based search filter for research articles, evidence based synopses, DynaMed (an evidence based clinical information tool), and non-evidence based image, video, and news resources. It provides an efficient first stop for searching for evidence based information.

3 of 20 Trip has enabled full text linking to the Anschutz Medical Campus' journal subscriptions and to PubMed Central's (PMC) free full text collection.

To set up full text linking, first sign up for an account (your account will facilitate full text linkage, saving searches, and convenient return to prior search topics via the timeline.)

Once you have signed in, alter your profile (via the 'Setting' button) by selecting the "University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus Health Sciences Library option from the Your Institution menu.

Trip now offers the following resources with its one-stop searching interface:

DynaMed integration: Click on the DynaMed tab and you'll see the results. Access to the actual content is only available for those with subscription access - the Health Sciences Library provides a subscription. To utilize this resource through Trip when off-campus, go to the Clinical Tools list, click on Dynamed, and log in as prompted (use your employee or student ID. Hospital staff should put an H in front of their 5 digit ID number). Users may need to repeat this process if your login times out while browsing Trip results. Case Reports: Working with BioMedCentral's Cases Database we're really pleased to see this interesting collection added to the site. Developing World Filter: Working with a slightly modified filter from a Norwegian Cochrane site we have created a specific and sensitive filter to quickly and easily find evidence suitable for low and middle income countries. This is a great tool for evidence based decision making for Global Health projects.

To see these changes, click here.

If you'd like to work with a Health Sciences Librarian to use Trip more efficiently, feel free to set up a consultation. We're happy to meet in your office to provide the training and consultation you need to efficiently tackle any project!

If you're a Google Reader user then you've probably seen Google's announcement that it plans to phase out Google Reader on July 1, 2013.

Here on the Anschutz Medical Campus many Google Reader users will take advantage of Outlook 2010's RSS Feeds feature, buried down the folder view under unused folders like "Junk E-Mail" and "Outbox" that most of us never use. If you don't use Outlook, there are many other alternatives. Lifehacker blog recommends 5 alternatives, with Feedly winning audience favorite by a wide margin. Another blog mentions 12 alternatives. They options suit users who are novices to experts in RSS reader use.

Adding feeds in Outlook 2010 is easy. once you've arrived at a blog, news website, or continuously updated website, look for the letters RSS or the RSS feed symbol - a square with a dot and two curved lines, sometimes in orange - click the symbol, copy the URL (it usually contains the letters xml).

When you right click on the RSS Feeds folder in Outlook, you can click Add a Feed. Simply paste your URL into the dialog box and your feed will be set up in Outlook.

Read the "Get Started" guide provided by Microsoft if you need more assistance, or feel free to Ask Us to visit your office so that a librarian can help you set up your feeds. Tech savvy folks may want to export an OPML file from Google Reader into Outlook, and How-to Geek provides instructions to facilitate that process.

UPDATED on June 17, 2013 with a link to an article with 12 alternatives.

The Marlowe Papers by Ros Barber is available via Prospector, Colorado's cooperative lending library catalog.

Of all the possible candidates in the "who really wrote Shakespeare's works?" debate, Christopher "Kit" Marlowe is often quickly dismissed. After all, he died at age 29 during a dispute over debts. His contemporaries probably saw it coming - his quick temper, heretical views, or his tendency to get romantically involved with the wrong men or women conspired to predict an early end.

And yet, hundreds of years later, a dedicated group of scholars persists in the theory that his death was faked to escape legal and other troubles and he survived to funnel work through associates to be passed off by Shakespeare as his own.

The Marlowe obsessed writer Ros Barber weaves together the threads of scholarly evidence into an entertaining tale of Marlowe's post 1593 life, full of escape, danger, proverty, love, and of course, writing. The story is presented as Marlowe's autobiography, in Elizabethan style blank verse. If I've lost you at the mention of verse, be reassured that Barber's talent as a writer shines through, making the verse accessible and engaging even as she takes care to preserve the authenticity of Marlowe's Elizabethan era "voice".

Once you've read the Marlowe Papers, you may want attend the

Colorado Shakespeare Festival performances of Richard II, Macbeth, and Midsummers Night's Dream to experience one of the world's premiere outdoor performances of the Bard (or Marlowe's?) works. You'll recognize Richard's description of England as "this sceptred isle", hear Malcolm quip that "Nothing in his life Became him like leaving it", and who can't relate to Titania's "metthought I was enamored of an ass?" The repertory company performs in University of Colorado's Mary Rippon Theatre from June 7 to August 11, with some matinee performances.

6 of 20 The Marlowe Papers is available by request via Prospector, a library lending cooperative based in Colorado.

The combined collections of over 40 academic, public and special libraries in Colorado and Wyoming are available to Univerity of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus library users. Materials include print and multimedia materials. Electronic request delivers dvds, cds, and books for research or entertainment to the Health Sciences Library where you can pick up your materials after receiving email notification of their arrival.

Although electronic and journal resources are listed in Prospector, licensing prevents download or use by users not affiliated with the owning library. However, you may travel to a Prospector member library to use materials. Check the websites of the member libraries before visiting the library.

With a location like Colorado, we encounter a fair number of cases involving altitude

sickness. HAPE or High Altitude Pulmonary Edema is one of the more severe types. How do you find the right articles when looking at the journal literature? The closest Medical Subject Heading for this condition is Altitude Sickness. The search "Altitude Sickness"[MeSH] retrieves at least 2740 citations in PubMed. Synonym keywords you might include for better coverage for your search: Altitude Sickness (2805), Altitude Sicknesses (1), Mountain Sickness (1184), Mountain Sicknesses (1) and you might have other phrases or wording that you might decide to use as well. If you want to focus on particular type of altitude sickness you might need to use keywords and phrases like: HAPE (329) or "high altitude pulmonary edema" (500) or "high altitude pulmonary oedema" (114). This table gives you an idea of how including different synonym phrases can affect the quality of your search retrieval.

Description Search Strategy Results Just the MeSH term “Altitude Sickness”[MeSH] 2740 “Altitude Sickness”[MeSH] OR “Altitude Sickness” OR “Altitude MeSH with MeSH as keyword phrase Sicknesses” OR “Mountain Sickness” OR “Mountain 3044 and entry term synonyms Sicknesses” MeSH with MeSH as keyword phrase “Altitude Sickness”[MeSH] OR “Altitude Sickness” OR “Altitude and entry term synonyms and other Sicknesses” OR “Mountain Sickness” OR “Mountain 3274 identified synonyms (there could still Sicknesses” OR HAPE OR "high altitude pulmonary edema" be more) OR "high altitude pulmonary oedema"

7 of 20 HAPE OR "high altitude pulmonary edema" OR "high altitude Just keyword phrases for HAPE 665 pulmonary oedema"

You can use PubMed's Clinical Queries to limit any of the above searches to articles about Therapy, Etiology, Prognosis, Clinical Prediction Guides or Diagnosis with a Broad/Sensitive or Narrow/Specific focus. I'll use the last example with just the keyword phrases for HAPE - Therapy B 163 | N 26, Etiology B 223 | N 15, Prognosis B 72 | N 5, Clinical Prediction Guides B 137 | N 5 or Diagnosis B 172 |N 4.

If you are looking for resources that may help explain this condition to a patient, MedlinePlus has several topics that may help.

Here's a quick post to introduce a new column/category of the Health Sciences Library

News blog. As we have opportunities to interact with and learn from our clinical faculty and staff, we'll turn that information around and put it out there to our broader clinical audience. Researchers and educators might find it of interest as well. In general, anything that builds synergy and collaboration is probably a good thing.

We already have one posting in Clinical Corner about our new subscription to JAMAevidence, which can help you around all evidence-based medicine searching, article critiques and teaching. Any time you want to see the postings in the Clinical Corner, all you need to do is choose the Clinical Corner category from the Categoriesr d op down menu and there you'll have it.

Anyway, don't hesitate to comment on the post or contact me if you have clinical pearls, questions or great resource suggestions that we should consider for this new part of the HSLNews.

This time each year, students, residents, fellows, and faculty prepare to leave the Anschutz Medical Campus to pursue careers elsewhere. We've compiled the following suggestions to help those who are leaving have a smoother transition.

Find out if you will have access to a library with your new affiliation. If you will be affiliated with a hospital, health system, or academic institution, you should have access to a library or information center. Check the institution's website or contact administrators to find out about library services. Don't hesitate to contact the health sciences librarian at your new institution. He or she will be a valuable source of information about your new organization as well as clinical and research information. Email your Ovid search strategies. If you will have access to Ovid databases at your new institution, you may want to email your saved searches to yourself before your Ovid account with the Health Sciences Library expires. You can then recreate your searches in your new Ovid account. Get help setting up PubMed search queries. Many of you will use the freely available PubMed to search MEDLINE. PubMed allows you to save searches and receive regular updates to current articles in your field. To learn how to set up a My NCBI account to save searches in PubMed, visit the My NCBI web page. Ask Us! if you’d like to meet with a librarian for assistance. Use Loansome Doc to obtain copies of journal articles. If you are entering private practice or joining an organization without a library, consider opening a Loansome Doc account to obtain copies of journal articles (usually for a fee) from a hospital or academic medical library in your area. To find out about your options for document delivery and other support services, contact the National Network of Libraries of Medicine at 1-800-338-7657. Evaluate clinical point-of-care resources. If you will be located at an institution that does not provide access to clinical point-of-care resources, you may opt to purchase a personal subscription to one of these resources. Evaluate clinical resources offered by the Health Sciences Library before you leave. Current individual subscription prices for some of these products are provided below.

HSL no longer offers this POC tool. Register for access ACP PIER – Available with ACP membership (ACP members only) The Cochrane Library –Individual subscription for HSL Link to The Cochrane Library one year: $344.00 First Consult – Pricing varies according to HSL Link to First Consult via MD Consult subscription type Essential Evidence Plus – Individual subscription HSL no longer offers this POC tool Sign up for 30 days for one year: $85 free trial access UpToDate – Pricing varies according to subscription HSL Link to Up to Date type 13 of 20 Check out local libraries in your new location. Visit the public library in your new location and ask about resources. Even libraries in small towns may offer access to major medical and science journals. Libraries at public colleges and universities sometimes offer services to local communities so if you will be located near a public college or university, explore the options they offer Find and load smartphone apps that will help you locate information quickly. While many apps are linked to the Library's subscriptions, some great apps are free. Archimedes medical calculator, Epocrates drug information, and many National Library of Medicine apps are free and useful. Take advantage of resources that are free or available with professional memberships. The benefits of membership in professional societies usually include access to the society's publications. For example, membership in the American College of Physicians includes free access to ACP PIER. The American Academy of Family Physicians offers a discount on personal subscriptions to MD Consult and First Consult.

Researchers agree that citing retracted articles can be embarrassing. It's easy to overlook that research has been retracted. Sometimes retractions are buried in the editorial pages of a journal. Not all retracted literature makes a big splash in a field or in the general press, so it can be easy to miss these notices.

PubMed tracks these notices in the literature, including follow up comments, erratum, corrected and republished work, partial or complete retractions and updates. Of the 22 million plus records in PubMed there are over a million records that have these notes. The most common notes are comments on an article. Just over 5,000 records have some type of retraction note. It can be like finding a needle in a haystack!

Special keywords are noted in the "Comment Correction Type" field of PubMed records:

Comment in: hascommentin Comment on: hascommenton Erratum in: haserratumin Erratum for:: haserratumfor Corrected and republished in: hascorrectedrepublishedin Corrected and republished from: hascorrectedrepublishedfrom Partial Retraction in: haspartialretractionin Partial Retraction of: haspartialretractionof Republished in: hasrepublishedin Republished from: hasrepublishedfrom Retraction in: hasretractionin Retraction of: hasretractionof Update in: hasupdatein Update of: hasupdateof

These notices appear in the Abstract display of records in PubMed, so you can search for these notes. Use the search strategy below to find these records.

hascommentin or hascommenton or haserratumin or haserratumfor or hascorrectedrepublishedin or

15 of 20 hascorrectedrepublishedfrom or haspartialretractionin or haspartialretractionof or hasrepublishedin or hasrepublishedfrom or hasretractionin or hasretractionof or hasupdatein or hasupdateof

Add your subject at the end of the search strategy and you can find articles that have these added notes. For example: hascommentin OR hascommenton OR haserratumin OR haserratumfor OR hascorrectedrepublishedin OR hascorrectedrepublishedfrom OR haspartialretractionin OR haspartialretractionof OR hasrepublishedin OR hasrepublishedfrom OR hasretractionin OR hasretractionof OR hasupdatein OR hasupdateof AND p53

How can you follow these notes and monitor their impact on your research? My NCBI offers two ways to track retractions using automated methods.

(Don't want to have to follow these instructions? Ask Us! to meet with you and mention this post - it will take a librarian 5 minutes to get these set up!)

You can -

1. set up a filter via My NCBI to catch retractions within your results as you are searching 2. set up a search topic alert on your topic of research to stay on top of retractions.

You must first sign up for a My NCBI account if you don't have one already. This is simple - you choose your own password, and NLM/NCBI does not send any email to you besides the search topic alerts you request.

To set up your filter, click on the "Manage Filters" link to the right of your results. Then select the "Properties" option. Click to open the Publication Types list, then scroll down the list and check the boxes next to "Retracted Publication" and "Retraction of Publication".

16 of 20 Once you've selected these filters, you will see subsets to the right of your results. Simply click on the subset to note which articles in your set have been retracted.

To set up your email alert, be sure to start at the Library's PubMed link and include AND ("retraction of publication"[Filter] OR "retracted publication"[Filter]) in your search strategy. Then click the "Save Search" under the search box.

Select your delivery interval, Abstract format, increase the number of results, and then click save.

You will receive an email whenever there are new retractions on your subject. The email will include citation and abstract, and should include a link to the Library's full text journal linker.

17 of 20 Avoid future embarrassment and stay alert to retractions in your research field with these techniques! Ask Us! to meet with you and mention this blog post if you'd like to have a Librarian work with you to get this set up!

[caption id="" align="alignnone" width="120"] Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD)

[/caption]

Why go mouseless? Blind users do not use the mouse. As part of Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD), two members of the Health Sciences IT Department, Cathalina Fontenelle and Vivienne Houghton, briefly attempted to go mouseless in order to get some understanding of the difficulty in navigating a computer with just a keyboard.

The purpose of GAAD is "to get people talking, thinking and learning about digital (web, software, mobile, etc.) accessibility and users with different disabilities." Besides going mouseless for an hour, you could participate by:

Surfing the Web with a screen reader for an hour Captioning a video Publishing a blog post about GAAD and your organization’s commitment to digital accessibility

The bad news is, we failed miserably at using the computer without the mouse -- we didn't make it past 15 minutes. The good news is, participating in GAAD made us even more motivated to make the Health Sciences Library website more inclusive of all users of varying abilities. Our goal is to improve accessibility to the HSL site according to the W3C's Web Content Accessibility Guidelines by GAAD 2014.

What can you do today?

For an hour, take the challenge and unplug your mouse, launch your screen reader, and surf your favorite sites strictly using the keyboard (tab/shift tab, arrow keys, enter and spacebar). Leave a comment and let us know how you did! For an extreme challenge, you could even try turning off your screen and depending solely on the verbal information conveyed to you via screen reader. 18 of 20 Know anyone in web design or development?

The libraries of four higher education systems in Colorado, including the Health Sciences Library, have come together to launch Digital Collections of Colorado (DCC) to improve access to digital information created by their faculty, students and staff. The libraries of Colorado State University, the University of Colorado, Colorado Mesa University, and Colorado School of Mines have created the Digital Collections of Colorado “repository” for managing and making available digital files representing all manner of scholarly works over the Internet. For additional information about this partnership please contact Jane Barber, assistant director of development and communications, at 970-491-5712 or [email protected].
