EndNote, ProCite, and RefWorks Support
* The UNC library system offers excellent summer classes on RefWorks, PubMed, and EndNote. To register for classes at the Health Sciences Library click here. To register for classes at Davis Library on RefWorks click here, or on EndNote click here.EndNote, ProCite, and RefWorks are reference management software programs that can be used to import and store literature searches, create and manipulate bibliographic or related information, perform "cite-while-you-write" functions, and format and create automatic bibliographies tailored to a particular publication style.
Christiane Voisin and Lynn Whitener are available for personal instruction and troubleshooting with both EndNote, ProCite, and RefWorks. Quick tips and a brief overview of EndNote and ProCite are provided by the Health Sciences Library (click here to view the HSL's quick tips on EndNote and here to view the HSL's quick tips on ProCite). There are also tutorial/learning modules offered online on both EndNote and RefWorks. Also available is an ISI ResearchSoft comparison of EndNote, ProCite, and Reference Manager. There are other HSL Learning Modules available, and also a list of currently offered EndNote and RefWorks classes at the UNC Libraries.
Each program is responsible for purchasing EndNote and ProCite, as the Sheps Center does not have a site license for either program. You may purchase or upgrade a copy of either package from the UNC Student Stores' RAM Shop at a reduced academic rate. UNC does have a site license for RefWorks and, therefore, it may be used by the university community free of charge; all you need is an ONYEN. Login to RefWorks or start an account here.

Interlibrary Loan Services
Health Sciences Library Interlibrary Loan Services
The Health Sciences Library can help you retrieve materials (journal articles, books, etc.) that cannot be found at Sheps or at the UNC libraries.
Click on the link above to go to HSL's form to request this service. HSL charges a $5 fee per requested item.
PubMed Searching Service
My NCBI provides a Stored Search feature to store and update searches in PubMed. My NCBI (National Center for Biotechnology Information) is a handy way to store a search strategy in your area(s) of interest and retrieve new literature as frequently as necessary by clicking "What's New". My NCBI requires a one-time registration and is a free service from NLM (National Library of Medicine). Using the My NCBI feature, Christiane Voisin runs a series of search strings in PubMed and emails, prints, saves to a user folder, or adds to a bibliographic reference database the updated search results. Searches are sent once a month, usually the first week. Searches may be added, deleted, or modified at any time.
