Throughout current literature and professions it is evident handheld technology is pervasive. Exposing medical students to handhelds and incorporating the technology and resources into the medical education experience is essential. As medical students move from the four-year program into residencies, specialty programs and into practice, they will no doubt be expected to be PDA-aware; and in some cases, able to use handheld technology within clinical/hospital/private practice infrastructures from the moment they walk in the door.

The IUSM Educational Technology, Medical Library and Medical Student Affairs Computer Support groups have come together to create a handheld technology team with a goal to provide opportunities for IUSM students to gain needed handheld technology experience and assist teaching-faculty incorporate handheld technology, resources and projects into the medical education curriculum. The team has developed a new handheld technology program for IUSM: the IUSM PDA Program.

The program is based on a single, recommended handheld platform - Palm Tungsten C - in order to provide comprehensive support and services including:

-Hardware and software discounts for IUSM students, faculty and staff
-Medical Library Reference Librarians

Finding an electronic journal, book, or database just became easier with our new A-to-Z Electronic Resources list. Look for the link to “Online Resources A-Z” on the left column of our home page.

ResearchResearch is Indiana University’s newest funding opportunities database of comprehensive, up-to-date grant information.

ResearchResearch complements Community of Science (COS), IU’s premier grants service, which includes email alerts, electronic cv, and other aids for the researcher. Both ResearchResearch and COS can be found at the IUSM Library’s home page by clicking “Online Databases.”

IU no longer will subscribe to the InfoEd (SPIN) funding service. All IU research data in InfoEd has been transferred to COS.

To get started in ResearchResearch click Funding Opportunities on its front page, then from the left side click either: sponsor, discipline, recent calls, upcoming deadlines, or database search for keywords.

Ignore My Account and Email Alerts, which are unnecessary, and soon to be removed from the web page.
