Library News

DISCOVERY SERVICE
Check out our newest library tool, Evergreen Discovery Service (EDS)! EDS collates all library resources, 
making the process of finding the articles you need quick and seamless. EDS helps you search our entire library, which includes EBSCO’s Nursing Reference Center and e-journals; Ovid (350 e-journals & 5 ebooks), Clinical Key (1500+ journals & ebooks), Natural Medicines (complementary and alternative medicines database), Cochrane Database, UpToDate and much more. The EDS hyperlink can be found here. Please note that if you are off-site, or not on a hospital-networked computer, some resources may not function correctly.


EPOCRATES TRIAL
We are conducting a 30-day trial this month of a research tool called Epocrates. If you are interested in taking a look at, or using this tool, the link is here.

NEW DIETARY GUIDELINES; LESS SUGAR & SALT
New dietary guidelines have been issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Department of Health and Human Services. They are the first ever to recommend a limit — 10 percent of daily calories — to the amount of added sugars Americans should consume. Saturated fats, too, should account for no more than 10 percent of a person’s daily calorie intake, the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines recommend. That puts red meats, butter, cheeses and high-fat dairy products like ice cream and whole milk in a cate- gory of foods to be eaten sparingly. That advice fits with a new emphasis on moving Americans away from meals built around animal protein and toward diets more heavily derived from plants.
