May 2020 Library Newsletter (Access From Home)
The Virtual Library
The library is here to support students learning and faculty teaching as we continue social distancing from home.
The physical library is still closed to students but you can still access library books and videos via curbside pickup. Read about that below.
We do, however, have a robust online library with journals, databases and librarians available to answer your research and writing questions. This newsletter contains tutorials on how to use the library from off campus but you can also contact a librarian if you would rather have personal instruction (library@nwhealth.edu).

Contact-Phone, Email and Chat
You can reach the library by calling 952-885-5419.
For more specific questions about library resources, feel free to contact Krista Jacobson, the Public Services Librarian, directly at 952-885-5463.
If you prefer, you can contact us via email. You can use the library@nwhealth.edu email address as librarians check and respond there often. They can make sure the person who can answer your question gets it.
You can also email Krista directly at kjacobson@nwhealth.edu
You can email the library director, Anne Mackereth at amackereth@nwhealth.edu
You can email Monica Howell directly at mhowell@nwhealth.edu
You can email Susan Vossberg directly at svossberg@nwhealth.edu
If you prefer text, you can send a message to 651-504-1542.
We also have a chat button located on the main library page (Pictured slightly above and to the right). You will see the logo when someone is available. Otherwise, there will be an option to email us.
The Library Is Temporarily Closed but Curbside Pickup is available
The library is temporarily closed to guests. However, if you would like access to a book, CD or video, contact the library. We have instituted curbside pickup with limited hours. If coming to campus isn't an option, contact us and we'll discuss alternatives.
We are not lending reserve textbooks, though. If you'd like an older edition in our general collection, we can make arrangements to get that to you. For current textbooks, we are working exclusively with instructors so please go through them.
Books that are checked out are not due back until students are allowed back on campus. We will work to renew your books through June.
If you only need a book chapter (again textbook requests need to go through an instructor) or an article we only have available in print, either email us or submit an interlibrary loan request form.

Searching Strategies (Beginning or Advanced)
Do you feel lost when searching PubMed? Do you wonder which databases to use that aren't PubMed?
Join this session for tips and tricks from a librarian. The format is casual. We'll walk through some searching strategies but the direction of the session will be determined by the experience or specific questions of the participants.

Differential Diagnosis Ebook
Find it in our catalog!
Barring technical difficulties, it is available for students in our catalog. To access it, go to the main library page and search for Differential Diagnosis in our catalog (i.e. use the search for books feature instead of searching for journals bar).
Then look for the copy that says "Downloadable." Click on the downloadable button. To log in from off campus, type in your full email address (including the nwhealth.edu) and enter the password you use for email/computers.
