 Mobile Computing for Healthcare   (Affinity Access Only)

Many of our subscription databases offer a mobile version. Most of them are web-enabled, not technically an “app” that you would download to a device. In that respect, it doesn’t matter what brand of smartphone/tablet you have. Some of these are worth a look …

Premium resources available to you as an Affinity employee :

• AccessMedicine Mobile
• MDConsult Mobile
• FirstConsult Mobile
  Stop by and you’ll find other free and recommended apps and mobile resources.

Old AudioDigests Free to a Good Home

By Margo A. Lambert, MLIS, St. Elizabeth Hospital Library (mlambert@affinityhealth.org)

The MMC and STE Libraries will be giving away 1 year's worth of old AudioDigest CDs. These programs are too old to apply for CE credits but they offer a lot of good information for health professionals. Look for them on the book sale tables at each library beginning
January 16th.

These CDs will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Due to their popularity we expect them to go quickly.

Subject areas include the following:
Urology, Psychiatry, Pediatrics, Otolaryngology, Orthopedics, Ophthalmology,
Obstetrics & Gynecology, Internal Medicine, General Surgery, Gastroenterology,
Family Practice, Emergency Medicine, and Anesthesiology. Please note: Not every title is available at both libraries.

Why are we giving them away?
--We want to have room for the most recent information on our limited shelf space
-- CE credits are only available for 3 years after the publication date.
-- Newer editions are available on AudioCD and MP3 files that can be downloaded to your computer or MP3 player. Contact Michele Matucheski for more details on accessing recent AudioDigest MP3 files.
