There are about a dozen Toronto hospitals whose library collections appear in our catalogue. These items are for the staff affiliated with each hospital.
It might be possible to use items at these libraries, but you'll have to call the library that owns the item to see what their policies are. If they don't allow in-library use, you can always place an interlibrary loan to have it shipped to your campus.
There are three ways to set up table of contents alerts:
Why would you use the database to set up your TOC alerts? You only need to create one account in one place.
Why would you use the journal website? The journal website is likely to be more up to date.
Example: On this date, June 28, 2012, the most current issue in Medline was June 14, 2012 and the most current at nejm.org was June 28, 2012, two issues ahead of Medline.
Each database and each journal website will have slightly different procedures but they will all involve setting up an account that includes your email address.
MOLES (Methodology Oriented Locaters for Evidence Searching) are a collection of words that function as search filters in library searching. Use MOLES to help refine your search results to the specific type of information you're looking for.
If you're taking Social Work SWK4510, Research for Evidence-Based Social Work Practice, you will use MOLES words in your library research. In SWK4510, you will employ MOLES words for effectiveness questions.
