New Web Resources

The library has recently added two new links to useful resources for faculty and students. A new guide to Reserve materials is available from the Reserves Collection link on the library's home page (or http://www.gwumc.edu/library/services/reserves/). The guide includes procedures and forms for placing various types of materials (journal articles, books, book chapters, personal copies of books) on reserve in the library. In addition, instructions are provided for putting materials on E-reserve in Prometheus. It may be necessary to obtain copyright permission for certain items. The guide provides faculty with information on the fair use policy as well as a sample letter for use in requesting permission. Included in the guide are standard processing times, contact names, and information on how to locate materials once they are on reserve.

The library has also added a link to the Pathology Slide Browser resource, used by second year medical students studying Pathology. The link is available from the Information for Students-Selected Resources and Links section of the library's home page (or https://inside.gwumc.edu/edu/path). This resource provides digitized images and accompanying text for the Pathology labs studied throughout the second year. Access is restricted to students in the class.
