Microsoft Office Now Available Online
Creighton University employees and students are entitled to certain software at extremely discounted pricing. Employees and students can purchase software through this location: http://www.creighton.edu/doit/software/personal rather than through the Health Sciences Library as in the past. For approximately $25 the Office 2007 suite is available for the Work at Home license. Log in with your netid and password, fill out the online form, add the software to your shopping cart, and check out like any online storefront. The license allows Creighton employees and students to install Office on one personal computer at home and is NOT for university owned computers.

Trial of Essential Evidence Plus
Through 16 May 2008, the Health Sciences Library has trial access to Essential Evidence Plus (EEP), a database of point-of-care resources providing “filtered, graded, synopsized evidence and evidence-derived tools,” including:
- Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM) Guidelines – practice guidelines, evidence summaries, and images
- Abstracts of the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews
- Decision support, history and physical test, and diagnostic test calculators
- Derm Expert – images and diagnostic guidelines for dermatologic conditions
- E/M Coding – helps determine codes for Medicare Evaluation and Management Services
- ICD-9 Lookup Tool
- Daily POEMs (“Patient-Oriented Evidence that Matters”) – synopses of new evidence on a single topic, delivered by email or a weekly spoken podcast.
The database can be accessed on the web, or downloaded to Palm or Pocket PC PDA devices. Instructions are provided at the trial website, as well as user training materials.
Please try this resource and send your feedback to Bryan Stack, Serials and Electronic Collections Librarian, at 280-5137 or cuhsl-serials@creighton.edu
