ITM Library Newsletter 2014

New ITM Library Website

The ITM Library website has received a major make-over, with a fresh look and feel in a new 5 by 6 matrix structure, page-specific hotlinks and a website-wide search box. Currently bib.itg.be co-exists with lib.itg.be but soon – when all secondary pages are converted in style and the last few bugs eliminated – the new library website will replace the old one at the familiar lib.itg.be URL.

• Anthropology and Medicine (Taylor & Francis)
• International Journal for Quality in Health Care (Oxford University Press)
• Journal of Mixed Methods Research (Sage)

!! Please remember that you can access the library resources also from outside the ITM campuses via the E-Library login for ITM staff and students, using your personal ITM account!!

Complete ITM Library Books Catalog integrated in our Discovery Service

The ITM Library Discovery Service covers virtually all the published biomedical literature available to ITM patrons, both in open access and subscribed to. It encompasses dozens of external databases and e-journal collections, featuring many millions of research articles. Recently also the complete ITM books catalog (over 28,000 titles) was integrated so that all our print and e-books can be found – either as part of our complete information universe, or separately, using the ‘ITM Library Books’ limiter. As with the new library website bib.itg.be, please grant the Discovery Service a few more weeks for further finetuning, especially for online availability indicators such as LinkSource.

New Look for TropMed Central Antwerp

Built on the latest DSpace 3 platform, TropMed Central Antwerp, ITM’s institutional open access repository, now lists over 6,500 publications authored by ITM researchers, from the year 1990 up till now.

Due to publishers’ legal copyright restrictions, so far only about 30% of these contain a publicly available full text PDF. We are continually improving this full-text ratio by collecting authors’ preprints, which are generally not subject to such open access distribution limitations.

How to enhance your international visibility: ITM authors are warmly invited to send us both their final MS-Word versions and the published PDF of your new publications to dspace@itg.be. We shall then put the appropriate version in TropMed Central Antwerp for you. Please also supply any remaining missing preprints of older publications.

Please also keep in mind that within the ITM site the large majority of post year 2000 full text PDF’s is available from within the ITM Staff Publications database. This database is also linked with the ITM website for the automatic creation of publication lists on your personal webpages.
