Editor's Notes

• #2: Good Morning Class of 2022 and welcome to your library orientation, I am Julie Sarpy and I am your KPCOM Liaison Librarian. HPD has so many programs that we designate a reference librarian to assist each specific one. So, I am the one for COM.

• #4: Before I start - I want to let you know where you can find a copy of this presentation so you don’t have to worry about writing down everything and remembering everything. From the HPD Library Homepage which is www.nova.edu/hpdlibrary, then click on the icon for Osteopathic Medicine. All of the resources I will speak about today can be found on this homepage or the library guide.

• #7: Before you access any of the eResources you will need to authenticate. Because these are paid databases, they basically want to know who is paying for your access, so that is what the authentication does. It identifies that you are an NSU student and that you have access via the NSU subscription. Use your Sharklink Username & Password. Your Username is everything before the @ symbol in your NSU email address. For example my email address jsarpy@nova.edu, so my username is jsarpy.

If any of you have read an ebook before on a personal device such as your Kindle or Nook, you notice it does not look the same as print., but it has the same content.
