Free Access and Demo for UpToDate clinical information

UNCG has been offered free access to UpToDate, a bedside/point of care information database with clinical care summaries for thousands of diseases, drug interactions, and more, until 4/31/2013.

UNCG faculty and students can access UpToDate online through this link. The path to this link from the library home page is Databases/U/UpToDate. If you're off-campus, use your iSpartan account to log in.

FYI, this is free "trial" access.  There is no funding to pay for a subscription to UpToDate.  But for what it's worth, I hope that our clinical faculty and students enjoy free playtime with this resource.  If anyone has any questions or comments, just let me know.

The sales rep for UpToDate would like to accompany the free trial with an online meeting demonstrating the contents and features of UpToDate on Thursday 3/21, noon-12:30 pm, at https://wolterskluwer.globalmeet.com/BrianSmith.

Any UNCG student or instructor is welcome to use that URL to attend.
