Join us on Wednesday, September 27, 2023 from 12-12:30pm for a Library 101 session!

New to UMass Chan or can’t remember the last time you visited the library in person or online? Come find out about all the research resources and services the Lamar Soutter Library provides. Need to access articles from a different library? Need to know if you can post a copy of your article on your personal website? Need to share your data to fulfill funding requirements? There’s a librarian for that!

Thursday, January 26, 2023 from 12-1pm on Zoom

Join the Research Data & Scholarly Communication librarians for a walkthrough of DMPTool and how it can be used to create NIH compliant data management and sharing plans for your upcoming grant proposals. Create your account, access UMass Chan specific guidance, and learn how to share and publish your plan for review and submission.

Are you interested in knowing which areas of Worcester have the highest rates of hypertension? Or what areas in Central Massachusetts have known environmental contamination? How about visualizing Covid-19 vaccination rates by average income levels in local neighborhoods? We have a resource for that! 

Downloading PDFs from the Library's website just got easier! A new feature has been added to the Library website. In the tabbed search box at the top of the home page you can find the "Get PDF!" tab. Enter a DOI or a PMID and in just a couple of clicks you can retrieve the PDF if it's available. If your PDF is not available you can request the article from interlibrary loan.

We’re excited to announce a new update to the LSL website: the A-Z Database list! The new list allows you to narrow down our list of 130+ databases by subject or by database type, which can really take some of the guessing out of your searching. We also included subjects based on your program of study, so you can see which databases your librarians think will serve you best. Still not sure where to start? You can easily reach out to a subject specialist right from within your search, either by using our Ask a Librarian chat, or contacting a librarian directly.
