Yesterday I read a research report in the Journal of the Medical Library Association that reminded me to be cautious when using Wikipedia articles for health care information.

They analyzed drug information on Wikipedia for 21 different medications and compared it to information from a subscription drug information database.

Mendeley: A reference manager and academic social network

Do you ever come across research papers on the internet and think they’re really neat and want to refer back to them again, but you either don’t know how to save them, or you do, but they end up scattered all over your computer and almost impossible to locate again?

Staff Profile: Katie Flood (+Tips for health science students!)

My name is Katie Flood and I am the evening Library Assistant at the Bay Shore campus. I’m fairly new to the Touro community, having just started my tenure here in early June. I moved to Long Island after graduating from SUNY Oswego with a Bachelor of Science in Wellness Management and minors in Health Science and Athletic Coaching. I was extremely interested in a position with the Bay Shore Library because I felt my health science background would allow me to relate to the students here and act as a resource.
