Levy Library

The Classes are Back!

After a renovation-induced hiatus, we are happy to announce that we are teaching drop-in classes again in the Levy Library - and in a new, renovated space, no less! The schedule and registration form are up now at http://fusion.mssm.edu/levy/classes/.

Notice especially that there are two new classes: for the first time we will be teaching a Photoshop class that will help you improve your images for publications and presentations (without distorting or falsifying your data), and we also have several sessions to orient you to the new PubMed interface - it's in Beta-testing now and will soon be the only way to search PubMed.

Spring Library Class Schedule

The schedule of library classes for now through April has been posted. We've got lots of useful sessions about topics such as using EndNote and RefWorks, finding medical images and using them in PowerPoint presentations, and searching NCBI molecular biology databases. A couple of new classes are also available - one to get you acquainted with the new changes to PubMed (hint: lots more changes are coming) and one to get you started with using Ensembl, the UCSC Genome Browser and the NCBI Map Viewer to browse your favorite chromosomes, whether they be in dog, chicken, honeybee or J. Craig Venter (more typical model organisms also available).

Check the schedule and register for classes online, or contact us with a suggestion for a class you'd like to see!
