New Libguide Highlights Health Sciences Video, Image and DVD Resources

The Kellogg Library has a growing collection of streaming video, DVD and image resources.  Our new “Media Resources in Health Sciences” Libguide presents some of the most popular items in our collection arranged by subject.  Faculty may find these resources useful to present in class or to assign as additional study.  Students may just want to view to supplement their clinical experience or as a refresher.  Check out the guide at:

Suggestions or comments about the guide should be sent to Ann.Barrett@dal.ca  at the Kellogg Library.

SpringerImages Acquired

The Kellogg has purchased a large  images database called SpringerImages. SpringerImages is a growing collection of scientific images that spans the scientific, technical and medical fields, including high-quality clinical images from images.MD. The continually updated collection – currently over 2.8 million images – gathers photos, graphs, histograms, figures, and tables, and is available to the Dalhousie community via a searchable online database.

Springer allows users to create personal accounts so they can organize and save their images in sets.  It allows the sets to be saved to Powerpoint or PDF format.  The license allows the images to be used for “educational, personal, scientific, or research purposes, including illustration, explanation, example, comment, criticism, teaching, research or analysis in accordance with these Terms of Use.”
