Finding Biomedical Collaborators and Mentors at UM and Beyond with Collexis
“Loved this system!!!! Thanks!” -Enthusiastic Department Head
The Office of Research, the Calder Library, and Collexis partnered during the past year to create a powerful tool that lets you quickly and effectively identify 1,500 UM biomedical faculty by their area of proficiency.Instead of searching multiple department web pages for faculty information, users are searching Collexis, a one-stop resource to locate potential multidisciplinary team members, collaborators or mentors, at the University of Miami and throughout the world.
Collexis draws upon UM faculty publications from PubMed (the past 20 years) and NIH-funded research projects to automatically create and update dynamic faculty profiles. Faculty can input their own CV data into their profile to reflect areas of expertise not documented by PubMed citations or grant records. Collexis also incorporates a free, literature-based, scientific, social network tool of 1.5 million researchers worldwide.
Collexis consists of Researcher Profiles, Institutional Dashboard and BiomedExperts. Search yourself at https://research.miami.edu/profiles and typing in your name.

PubGet ( http://miami.pubget.com/) is a search engine for PDFs of the biomedical literature, similar to PubMed and Google Scholar, but with a great twist! What makes PubGet special is that you can also easily browse the latest issue of your favorite journals, article by article, when you go to PubGet from a computer on the UM/JMH network.
The Library activated UM as a PubGet site, so the PDFs of articles in the current issues of journals can be browsed, and the 20 million PubGet articles that are in journals accessible at UM can be searched. You can enter a journal title in the search box below ‘Latest Issues’ or you can customize the list of journals you see when you log in by clicking on ‘customize list’ and entering your MIT user name and password or Google account information.
More information on PubGet is available at the ‘help’ link on the top, right of the PubGet web site, and by coming to the Library.

The Library is pleased to announce a gift of books that belonged to Jess B. Weiss, M.D., inventor of the modern epidural needle. Dr. Weiss was a department chair at Harvard’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston for many years, and served as an Admiral in the U.S. Navy. He received lifetime achievement awards from both the American Society of Anesthesiology and the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Dr. Weiss was a gifted and dedicated physician who served as a mentor to many individuals. He was also a humanitarian and an early advocate for women physicians and the underserved. Mrs. Shirley Weiss decided to donate the books to Calder after reading an article about the Library in Miami Medicine in her doctor’s office.
