Overwhelmed by the number of library resources available? Interested in a customized set of resources for your program or a specific class? Let librarians help you design and information tool customized for your students' needs.

We realize that it is not always simple to sort out which databases, books, and journals are most relevant, so we would like to help you. Save time searching for appropriate books and journals by accessing all of them from one convenient location. We can even include handy search tools that will allow you to search a term across 40 databases or all of our electronic textbook collections.

We can also gather and link to all the important journals in your field (via Himmelfarb subscriptions) as well as provide an easy way for you to receive the tables of contents for each new issue as it is released.

The Reference Department is happy to work with you to develop a Research Guide containing books, journals, websites, and software programs gathered from our collection that match the needs of your students.

Several Research Guide have already been developed and are available on the Himmelfarb Library website. For more information contact Alexandra Gomes at (202) 994-1825 or mlbawg@gwumc.edu.

Himmelfarb's Library Catalog was upgraded over the winter holidays. The upgrade brings an updated look and a few new features for library users.

• Detailed information about item availability appears in brief and detailed catalog records.
• Immediate holds can be placed when an item is currently checked out.
• Materials can still be renewed using the 'My Account' feature.

Improvements are continuing to be made to the new interface. If you have any questions about how to use the upgraded Library Catalog, contact the Information Desk at 202-994-2850 or library@gwumc.edu.
