Hi, recently I received an email pointing me to a product recalls page from different United States Government agencies (http://www.recalls.gov). This is a great resource, and if you're interested you can not only search the page for past/current recalls, but you can be alerted via email when new recalls are announced (http://www.recalls.gov/list.html).The FDA has created a page talking about

For some reason, the web was going crazy today and Manual of Nursing Practice was unavailable for an hour or so this morning. It's working now, but I thought it was a good opportunity to remind you that in case a UCI Library resource isn't working, or you don't have access to a resource, anything like that, make sure you send me an email, give me a phone call, or contact someone at the UCI

I don't often quote David Bowie, but this post calls for it! In the coming days (possibly weeks, sometimes change takes a glacial pace) you may notice a shift in how content is pushed out from me. I'm hoping to consolidate some of the contact points so it is easier for everyone to figure out where everything is. Novel concept, eh? Anyway, I'm going to be retiring my part of the EEE wiki (using a

One of the questions I am asked most often is, "How can I access this material from my office/home/laptop?" At UCI, we allow you access through something called a VPN. VPN stands for Virtual Private Network, and the Wikipedia entry can describe what that is better than I can! But it allows you to access almost all of our online resources from off campus.There are several ways to use a VPN, but
