Celebrate Library Fest 2022 at the D. Samuel Gottesman Library!
Einstein’s D. Samuel Gottesman Library is marking National Medical Library Month with a variety of fun events and challenges, to highlight library resources and services, open to all members of the Einstein community during its Library Fest 2022.
Visit our D. Samuel Gottesman Library during October to help mark National Medical Library Month and have some good, resource-full fun!
The fun began in late September (and continues throughout October), with the first of four weekly challenges to test participants’ research skills. Each Thursday, library staff members post a new question, whose answer can be found using library resources. Share your response with library staff by the deadlines noted on the library website and be entered to win an amazing prize.
While October 24 through 28 will be Amnesty Week, with fines for all overdue books and journals* forgiven, Wednesday, October 26, promises to be the pinnacle of the month-long celebration. From 3 to 6 p.m., enjoy demos highlighting library resources in support of clinical care, research, and education. Participants who visit all five demos can enter a raffle to win a fun and exciting prize.
Demos include:
- Evidence-based, clinical-decision-support tools: uCentral from Unbound Medicine and VisualDx;
- Journal and article discovery: Embase and ScienceDirect from Elsevier;
- Textbooks, journals, databases, and more from Ovid; and
- Peer-reviewed video journal articles and instructional videos from JoVe (Journal of Visualized Experiments).
Staff from our local NY Public Library branch also will be at the library to offer our campus community members the opportunity to get a free NYPL library card. Expand your resource horizons with access to the NYPL’s 8 million books and DVDs and 300,000 e-books, online magazines, and much more.
Rounding out the fun will be the free Einstein Library swag that will be given away throughout the month. Choose from handy pop-sockets, fashionable, retractable I.D. badge holders, medicine-themed coloring books, reusable bags, and more!
*Please note: Fine Forgiveness will not apply to reserve items, laptops, and fines accrued for previously returned items.
