Anatomy TV (from Primal Pictures) - Training

Training: Anatomy TV (from Primal Pictures) - teaching tool

Trainer: resource developers, Primal Pictures

Date: Thursday, November 11^th

Time: 2:00pm

Venue: North Training Room

The session will be aimed at academic staff. If you could like to attend, please contact Arlene Healy

Description:

New Library subscription: Anatomy TV

This teaching tool provides medically accurate 3D models of the human anatomy. The representation of the body is derived from medical scan data that has been interpreted by a team of Primal anatomists and then translated into three-dimensional images by graphics specialists. The anatomy visuals are accompanied by 3D animations that demonstrate function, biomechanics and surgical procedures. The resource also provides clinical videos and text to supplement the core anatomy data.

You can access Anatomy TV from the New Resources section of the Library database webpage. There's also a “How To” guide .

TCD Library’s 12 month subscription provides access to the Anatomy Plus Platinum Package, including the Dentistry module, ensuring this valuable teaching tool benefits as many academic departments as possible.

We aim to assess usage levels and relevancy to TCD academic programmes prior to a renewal of the subscription in late 2011.

State Papers Online - new resource from Cengage

State Papers Online: the Government of Britain 1509-1714

TCD Library has recently purchased Parts II and III of State Papers Online from the provider, Gale: Cengage Learning, the provider of many of the History databases which may be accessed by Trinity College researchers and students.

A Royal Warrant to the Lords Justice of Ireland, sent from Hampton Court in May 1700 concerns Edward Geoghegan, of Castletown, Co. Westmeath, a man who had never been employed under the late king James, and had always shewed kindness to his protestant neighbours. An earlier letter, (1696), was to have reversed accusations of outlawries against Geoghegan. However, as he being in the letter styled gentleman, and in the record esquire [...] he could not receive the benefit of our letter. The 1700 warrant was intended to correct the earlier mistake and to secure a free pardon for Edward Geoghegan, esquire. (State Papers Online Part III: The Stuarts and Commonwealth, James I - Anne I, 1603-1714: State Papers Domestic)

TCD Library has had State Papers Online Part I: The Tudors, 1509-1603 : Domestic since 2008. State Papers Online Part II, The Tudors, 1509-1603: State Papers Foreign, Scotland, Borders, Ireland and Registers of the Privy Council completes the papers of the Government of Britain for the Tudor period. Dr S. Alford of the University of Cambridge writes that these two parts give us practically all the sources we need to investigate the government of the Tudor kings and queens in microscopic detail.

The three parts of State Papers Online purchased by the Library, may be consulted via the usual catalogue record for the State Papers Online Part 1 and via the New Resources tab on the Library’s website.

New resources

There have been several new online resources added to the Library in the last week. Please check the NEW RESOURCES tab on the Databases and E-Books section of the Library website. New online resources appear here FIRST. Marc records are added to the Library catalogue later by Collection Management.

Wilson's OmniFile Full Text Mega

A note on OmniFile Full Text Mega on WilsonWeb.

The OmniFile contains indexing, abstracting databases and a certain amount of full text. The TCD link resolver is also on WilsonWeb, and links to other full text resources held by the Library if the full text isn’t in the OmniFile.

Omnifile Full Text, Mega Edition features all the content of these full-text databases as well the full runs of every full-text journal they index.

[However, please note, there are indexes within these databases which may not have corresponding full text within the database, for example in cases where a journal is not available electronically. In these cases, the TCD link resolver will lead from WilsonWeb to the Library catalogue for paper copies, where available.]:

Education
General Science
Humanities
Readers' Guide
Social Sciences
Wilson Business

For example: Social Sciences Full Text includes the Social Science Index: http://www.hwwilson.com/Databases/socsci.cfm
Social Sciences Index: This database delivers the same indexing offered in Social Sciences Full Text but SSI itself has no abstracts or links to full text articles.
TCD has access to [within the Wilson Omnifile full text mega] Social Sciences Full Text [Sept. 2010] and so has access to abstracts and links to full text articles in addition to the original Social Sciences Index.


OmniFile Full Text Mega on WilsonWeb also contains the full text from ONLY the journals in selected databases to which Wilson has full text rights, namely
Applied Science & Technology Full Text
Art Full Text
Biological & Agricultural Index Plus
Index to Legal Periodicals Full Text
Library Literature & Information Science Full Text


Some features of OmniFile' Social Sciences database [Sept. 2010]:
§ High quality indexing of over 625 periodicals as far back as 1983, nearly 400 of which are peer-reviewed.
§ Full text of articles from some 215 journals as far back as 1995.
§ Visit Journal Directory for a searchable list of the journals covered.
