Netter Library Newsletter January 2025
GIDEON TRIAL
The Netter Library has arranged for a long-term trial of GIDEON, the Global Infectious Diseases and Epidemiology Online Network.
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.
We have access to this resource until June 30, 2025. Please email, call or stop by the library and speak to Matt Wilcox if you find this to be a useful resource that we should license beyond June 30.
DATABASE SPOTLIGHT
MedOne Education Clinical Capsules is a new comprehensive series of clinical learning modules that cover individual diseases and disorders organized within 14 volumes, spanning across organ systems and specialties. Tailored specifically for students preparing for rotations and the Shelf and USMLE® exams. The modules offer templated structures encompassing Epidemiology, Pathogenesis, Signs and Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Treatment for a wide array of commonly tested diseases. Each volume is organized by organ system/specialty, regularly updated, and enriched with illustrations, diagrams, radiographic images, and tables, ensuring users have access to the most up-to-date and comprehensive information.
