Virginia: where they're most often found, how to recognize them, and
what problems can be caused by their bite.

There has been a change to
PubMed that should now make
it a bit easier to import citations into
RefWorks
or any other citation
management software. The change that has been made is one that should
cut down on the number of steps it takes to import citations. There is
now an
option in the
Send To Menu that allows you to create a file to
import directly into a citation management program. I have included the
steps below and please contact the library if you have any questions as
we are here to help.
Steps to Import Using Citation Manager Option in PubMed
1) Be sure you are logged into your RefWorks account
2) Conduct your search in PubMed and select the
citations you want to import
3) Locate the Send To Button (Upper Right Corner)
4) Select Citation Manage and Click Create File\
5) Save the File to Your Computer
6) Go To RefWorks , Click on References, and Select Import
7) Set Import Filter to NLM PubMed and make sure
Database is PubMed
8) Go To Select File Box and Click on Browse Button
9) Locate Your File
10) Designate
Place/Folder for the Citations (Optional)
ยท
If you do nothing
it will appear in the last imported folder
11) Click on
Import and You Should See an Indication in RefWorks that the citation has uploaded

Each year, April 7 is designated "World Health Day" by the World Health Organization. This Saturday,
World Health Day 2012 will celebrate
Ageing and Health with the slogan "Good Health Adds Life to Years."
"[This] campaign activities and materials will focus on how good health
throughout life can help older men and women lead full and productive
lives and be a resource for their families and communities.
Over the past century life expectancy has increased dramatically and the
world will soon have more older people than children. Populations are
ageing everywhere, but less-developed countries are witnessing the
fastest change. This social transformation represents both challenges
and opportunities. In particular, countries may only have a single
generation to prepare their health and social systems for an ageing
world." -- World Health Organization
The campaign also aims to challenge stereotypes with posters featuring older people in positive, healthy situations. Visit the
World Health Day 2012 website to download posters, view photos, and find links to articles and additional information on ageing and health.
