ICONnection News Corner: Stories from ICON Libraries

News from Creighton (contributed by Jim Bothmer)

Due to lack of shelving space, all pre-1965 journals will be moved to offsite storage. Retrieval will be within 24 hours of a request.

The HSL/LRC is the primary research library for the University Pathology Consortium (UPC). UPC has developed an electronic database on disease diagnosis called UPCMD Disease Diagnosis. This “textbook” is being offered for sale to individuals and institutions and offers specific recommended tests for diagnostic evaluation as well as an extensive image databank. HSL/LRC did much of the online searching for the authors and retrieved the articles for the authors’ research. UPC is a consortium of six academic health science centers:

Creighton University
Stanford University
University of CA at San Francisco
University of CA at Davis
University of Iowa
University of Southern California.
