Dig Deep Trivia : @sk Your Medical Librarian

Just for grins (and to see if you have been paying attention), here is a little exercise to demonstrate your knowledge of where your Librarians go to find information.

Match the database name to its function.

Database Name
1. MedlinePlus
2. Natural Medicines
3. Pubmed /Medline
4. Micromedex Drug Info
5. CINAHL

Function
a. Drug and Toxicology Information
b. Clinical Medical and Nursing Journals
c. Reliable consumer health resources
d. Nursing and Allied Health Information
e. Evidence-based information on herbal remedies

And remember, October is National Medical Librarian’s Month.
Visit your nearest Affinity Library (or visit the library web page) for a chance to solve this year’s word search puzzle (and be entered into a drawing for gift certificates to your hospital coffee shops)

If you are a chocolate fan, guess how much chocolate is in the candy jar at your library. The person with the correct or closest guess will win the chocolate!
Winners will be notified in early November.
