Track Your Research Impact with Scopus Author Profiles

By Taira Meadowcroft Posted in J. Otto Lottes Health Sciences Library Resources and Services

Posted on February 9, 2022February 23, 2022

Defining and managing your online professional identity is often as important as defining and managing your in-person professional identity. One of the ways you can help define and manage your online professional identity is keeping track of your author profiles.

Scopus Author Profiles are a good place to start. Scopus automatically creates a profile for you, based on their database algorithms, and curates a list of your publications, complete with citations and h-index.

Even though the profiles are already created, you should double check your profile every so often to make sure the information (name, affiliation, and publications) is up to date.

Below is what you will see in your Scopus Author Profile.

You can go one step further and link your Scopus Author Profile with your ORCID.

You can search for your Scopus Author Profile here. If you need help with your Scopus author profile, whether that’s updating your profile, linking your ORCID, or providing a citation report, you can email the Health Sciences Library for assistance.

Celebrating Black Authors and Black Stories

By Taira Meadowcroft Posted in Resources and Services

Posted on February 8, 2022April 18, 2023

This month we are appreciating all the wonderful reads written by Black authors, showcasing Black stories.

Here are just a few of our favorite picks you can find available at Mizzou Libraries or request through our website.

For the Non-fiction Lovers:

All Boys Aren’t Blue by George M. Johnson

In a series of personal essays, prominent journalist and LGBTQIA+ activist George M. Johnson explores his childhood, adolescence, and college years in New Jersey and Virginia. From the memories of getting his teeth kicked out by bullies at age five, to flea marketing with his loving grandmother, to his first sexual relationships, this young-adult memoir weaves together the trials and triumphs faced by Black queer boys.

Black Girl, Call Home by Jasmine Mans

A literary coming-of-age poetry collection, an ode to the places we call home, and a piercingly intimate deconstruction of daughterhood, Black Girl, Call Home is a love letter to the wandering black girl and a vital companion to any woman on a journey to find truth, belonging, and healing. As a competitive spoken-word poet who draws large crowds of people, Jasmine Mans’s collection is divided into six sections, each with a corresponding active telephone number where she has recorded excerpts of her poems.

The Hill We Climb by Amanda Gorman

On January 20, 2021, Amanda Gorman became the sixth and youngest poet to deliver a poetry reading at a presidential inauguration. Taking the stage after the 46th president of the United States, Joe Biden, Gorman captivated the nation and brought hope to viewers around the globe.

For the Fiction Lovers:

Feathers by Jacqueline Woodson

“Hope is the thing with feathers,” starts the poem Frannie is reading in school. Frannie hasn’t thought much about hope. There are so many other things to think about. Each day, her friend Samantha seems a bit more holy.There is a new boy in class everyone is calling the Jesus Boy. And although the new boy looks like a white kid, he says he is not white. Who is he?

Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

Americanah follows two Nigerian characters, Ifemelu and Obinze, teenagers in love who drift apart when Ifemelu moves to America. This novel wears its politics on its sleeve, acutely describing how it feels to try and navigate multiple cultures — a feeling that is endemic to being an immigrant — and openly debating the lived experiences of Black people, American or not.

Boy, Snow, Bird by Helen Oyeyemi

In the winter of 1953, Boy Novak arrives by chance in a small town in Massachusetts looking, she believes, for beauty—the opposite of the life she’s left behind in New York. She marries Arturo Whitman, a local widower, and becomes stepmother to his winsome daughter, Snow. A wicked stepmother is a creature Boy never imagined she’d become, but elements of the familiar tale of aesthetic obsession begin to play themselves out when the birth of Boy’s daughter, Bird, who is dark-skinned, exposes the Whitmans as light-skinned African-Americans passing for white. And even as Boy, Snow, and Bird are divided, their estrangement is complicated by an insistent curiosity about one another. In seeking an understanding that is separate from the image each presents to the world, Boy, Snow, and Bird confront the tyranny of the mirror to ask how much power surfaces really hold.

New Book Highlight: Pediatric Vaccines – A Clinical Decision Support Chart

By Taira Meadowcroft Posted in J. Otto Lottes Health Sciences Library Resources and Services

Posted on February 2, 2022February 16, 2022

We’ve recently added to our collection the ebook Pediatric Vaccines: A Clinical Decision Support Chart from the American Academy of Pediatrics.

This handy visual aid guides clinicians in deeper discussions with patients and parents about childhood and adolescent vaccines, the diseases they help to prevent, and how parents are doing the best for their children by vaccinating fully and on time.

The patient-facing pages are designed for health care professionals to use as a visual aid while addressing patients’ and parents’ questions about vaccines. Infographics and clinical images from American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) visual libraries help to illustrate why vaccines remain important in an era when many of these diseases are not encountered by the general public— thanks, widely, to the introduction of vaccines and consequent herd immunity. The information helps patients understand the importance of vaccines, the rationale for the current schedule, and why they are receiving a strong recommendation from their health care professionals.

The health care professional facing pages supply additional information for health care professionals about the etiology and nature of the diseases and current recommendations for vaccine schedules.

You can access the book online.

Blind Date With A Book

By Taira Meadowcroft Posted in J. Otto Lottes Health Sciences Library Resources and Services

Posted on February 1, 2022February 14, 2022

From February 1-14, the Health Sciences Library invites students, faculty and staff to go on a “Blind Date with a Book” for Valentine’s Day. Some titles from our collection have been selected and decoratively wrapped with a few lines from the books to provide the best blind date experience.

You can find the books near the Service Desk on the main floor of the Health Sciences Library. If you check out a book, don’t forget to Rate Your Date for a chance to win a prize! There are slips of paper in the library or you can email asklibrary@health.missouri.edu with your rating (out of 5 stars) and one sentence review.

Can’t come into the library? No problem! We have chosen some of our new ebooks for your blind date.

Book Blind Date #1

“You know you are different. You see and think in such different ways, most of the time no one else can see the way you perceive things. My father told me that I used to scare him when, at 9 years of age, I would wake up in the mornings and say things like ‘Dad, I know what causes cancer; it’s the excessive use of pesticides on everything we eat.’ Although that theory didn’t explain everything, years later evidence would come out that certain chemicals and pesticides are in fact carcinogenic.”

Book Blind Date #2

“And after how many speeches to herself about what not to do? Things not to do such as, first and foremost, meet anyone, much less someone, at a basement party? After all of that, Ndiya Grayson met Shame Luther at a basement party. It was the Fourth of July, a Sunday. Well, by the time they met it was early Monday morning. Over the next month she’d seen him twice. This night would be the third time.”

Book Blind Date #3

“Courage is contagious”

Book Blind Date #4

“In the haunted summer of 2016, an unaccustomed heat wave struck the Siberian tundra on the edge of what the ancients ones called the End of the Land.”

Book Blind Date #5

“An oyster creates a pearl out of a grain of sand.”

Book Blind Date #6

“I’m going to tell you a brief story.”

Book Blind Date #7

“Since the time when man’s mind first busied itself with subjects beyond his own self-preservation and the satisfaction of his bodily appetites, the anomalous and curious have been of exceptional and persistent fascination to him; and especially is this true of the construction and functions of the human body.”

Book Blind Date #8

“I knew with certainty that I would never be a doctor.”

Book Blind Date #9

“On January 29, 1951, David Lacks sat behind the wheel of his old Buick, watching the rain fall.”
