Congratulations to the class of 2007

Stop by the library to see the 2007 commencement exhibit. This year's commencement speaker was Dr. Nora Volkow, Director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse. In addition to the bestowal of 156 MD degrees, 43 PhDs and 10 combined MD/PhD degrees, the exhibit also honors the teaching excellence of six Einstein faculty members and four physicians who received Distinguished, Lifetime and Honorary Alumni Awards.

We extend congratulations to everyone on their graduation, and wish you success in the years ahead.

New Databases

Recently the library added three new databases to our web site:

1. ASH Image Bank. Produced by the American Society of Hematology, the ASH Image Bank is intended to serve as a comprehensive reference and teaching tool that is widely accessible to physicians and hematology students around the world.

2. Historical Statistics of the United States. This newly-updated (2006) fourth edition contains a variety of quantitative facts about US history. Users can create their own tables, or else download pre-existing tables in Microsoft Excel or Access formats. Broad topics covered include population, work and welfare, economic structure and performance, economic sectors, and governance and international relations.

3. Proteome. Proteome provides access to six protein databases: YPD, HumanPSD, WormPD, GPCR-PD, PombePD, and MycopathPD. The databases feature disease information, references, Bioknowledge transfer and integrated resources. One-time site registration required.
