The end of semester race will soon be on for our Histopathology slides. This semester we have the added complication of not being able to use our online booking system (as it's not working at the moment). To ensure all students have a fair chance to access the slides for study the following arrangements have been made:
Half the boxes of slides have been placed in the Path Lab at Sandy Bay for the use of the first and second year med students.
The rest of the boxes of slides are available at the Clinical library for the use of the remaining med students and the medical research students. The boxes at the Clinical library may be booked up to 24 hours in advance by contacting us.

Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine
The 2007 Nobel prize in Physiology or Medicine has just been announced.
Mario R Capecchi, Sir Martin J Evans and Oliver Smithies won for developing 'Knock-out' mice. They used stem cells to genetically modify the mice. It is now possible for scientists to insert or remove a single gene and study the effects.

Past exam papers
The library has published all previous exam papers we have access to. They may be accessed through the catalogue by doing an All Titles Alphabetical search on the course code. Just a tip though, you need to put a space between the letters and numbers of your search terms (eg. CAM 102).
The exam papers which are in our catalogue are also available on CDs which are available as reserve loans from the Clinical library.

Its not long until the end of semester. If you are busy ploughing through your last assignments for the year and getting ready for exams, remember that Ian and I are available to advise you on finding relevant information efficiently. If you need a refresher on PubMed or EndNote or evaluating information you have found, contact us and make an appointment.
