Important Announcement: The New Library System and updated E-resource login process are Here!. As part of OhioLINK, Ohio's academic library consortium, the NEOMED Library is updating its 30-year-old shared systems. The new system allows researchers to "discover" print and electronic resources with a single search. Click here to start using the new system. Additionally, we have also changed the way that you all will login for off-campus access to the electronic resources provided by the NEOMED Library. All NEOMED students, faculty, clinical faculty, staff, and retirees, will click on the "Login using your NEOMED Network credentials" link on the login page. From there, you will be routed through NEOMED's network login process using the same login credentials that you use for logging into your email, Sharepoint, and other essential NEOMED networked resources. Please be patient with us as we get everything situated for your use and contact us with any questions at 330-325-6600 or e-mail library@neomed.edu for help.

Example of a Clinical Scenario

A patient comes into your office.  He is a 50 year old Caucasian male who has just been told his total cholesterol is 240 at the health fair and his LDL was 160 and HDL was 40.
 
“I know you will want to put me on one of those ‘statin’ drugs…I just don’t want to do that yet.  Is there anything I can take over the counter?  One of my friends was telling me about garlic…”

Step 1: Secure Demographics of Requestor

  • Who is asking the question?
  • How do they want the response delivered?
  • When do they need the response/answer?
  • What resources has the requestor already utilized?
