STAT!Ref Releases New User Interface

STAT!Ref will launch a new interface on August 1, 2011. The new interface has been optimized to make an easier navigation of the database.

 Improved features include: 
  • More user preference options that enable enhanced customization
  • A powerful search engine that keeps historical track of your research, enabling you to return to your “favorites” for fast retrieval  
  • Enhanced access to bibliographic citations, including Refworks and Endnote
  • Re-designed layout making it easier to locate resources and find relevant, authoritative, and evidence-based information
  • Easily return to nearly anywhere in STAT!Ref by saving a link with a new "Link to page" feature 
  • New aesthetic design – clean, crisp and easily navigable 
  • Enhanced access to tools that make research easier, such as Stedman’s Medical Dictionary and the STAT!Ref medical calculator, MedCalc 3000

For more information on the new STAT!Ref interface, go to the Library website databases list at:  http://www.library.tmc.edu/core/databases.cfm Click on “S” and select STAT!Ref, or enter “stat” in the search box.  When you access the database, a message will display asking if you want to try the new interface.
