DATABASE SPOTLIGHT: DATABASE TRIALS
The Netter Library has arranged long-term trials of two databases.
GIDEON is a rich resource, updated daily, for infectious disease, epidemiology, and microbiology information. The platform features tools for finding disease, drug, vaccine, microbe, and country-specific information; identifying pathogens; performing diagnoses; and visualizing epidemiological data, including disease outbreaks and vaccine coverage. At their website, in the “More” section, GIDEON also contains books on infectious diseases in specific countries, specific diseases globally, and major topics in the study of infectious diseases and epidemiology (as well as sample lesson plans).
You can access GIDEON from the Netter and ABL library database lists, or this URL will work from on or off campus: https://libraryproxy.quinnipiac.edu/login?url=https://app.gideononline.com
A brief overview is available at https://www.gideononline.com/features/, and there is a lot of info on their Help page, including videos. A mobile version is also available.
Social Explorer provides easy access to demographic information about the United States in interactive data maps going back to 1790. Users can visualize and interact with data; create maps, charts, reports and downloads; explore 100,000+ built-in data indicators related to demography, economy, health, politics, environment, crime; and more! Easily add your own data for further impact.
You can access Social Explorer from the Netter and ABL library database lists, or this URL will work from on or off campus: http://libraryproxy.quinnipiac.edu/login?url=https://www.socialexplorer.com/explore-maps
A brief overview is available at https://www.socialexplorer.com/product and there is a lot of info on their Help page and in their FAQs, including training modules.
We have access to these resources until June 30, 2025. Please email, call or stop by the library and speak to Matt Wilcox, if you find these to be useful resources that we should license beyond June 30th.
LOOKING TO PUBLISH?
The Quinnipiac community can now publish research open access with no article publishing fees in journals from Springer, ACM and Cambridge publishing houses. The only requirement is that the corresponding author have a valid Quinnipiac email address. For more information visit our Open Access Publishing Research Guide.
BLACK HISTORY MONTH
February is Black History Month. This annual celebration shines a light on achievements by African Americans and is a time to recognize their central role in U.S. history. Visit our Black History Month book display in the Netter Library. All books on display are available for checkout at the library information desk. These are just a sampling of books available in the Netter Library for Black History Month. If you are looking for more, stop by the library and we will help you find more titles.
ONE BOOK ONE UNIVERSITY INITIATIVE
