I put it to you that information, if viewed from the point of food, is never a production issue; you never speak of food overload. Fundamentally, it's a consumption issue. And we have to start thinking about how we create diets within ourselves, exercise within ourselves to have the faculties to deal with information, to have the labeling to be able to do it responsibly..."<br />

<br />
I would like to know if any books have been written about a topic, or, say, by a specific person. More so, I am not interested in whether <a href="http://www.nyit.edu/library">NYIT Library</a> owns a particular book, as I understand that I can either request it through <a href="http://www.nyit.edu/library/services/interlibrary_loan/">interlibrary loan</a>, or recommend that it be <a href="http://www.nyit.edu/library/recommend_purchase">purchased</a> and added to the collection.<br />
<br />
<b>Scenario 2</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSzDR52qVezJL6Qg4B6uWIoOL0wEkduMGysq_F2upA1d5RK0wWUewF-cOzJmYj-dc9aKv3eUGxS6cwSxlyP9zrjjQU_c72edxwPcSne5VCYlVd-TE7F6-2yCIwvZuja-_kMxOD_gmvGsYI/s1600/worldcat.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="162" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSzDR52qVezJL6Qg4B6uWIoOL0wEkduMGysq_F2upA1d5RK0wWUewF-cOzJmYj-dc9aKv3eUGxS6cwSxlyP9zrjjQU_c72edxwPcSne5VCYlVd-TE7F6-2yCIwvZuja-_kMxOD_gmvGsYI/s320/worldcat.png" width="320" /></a></div>
I would like to locate a library in the city, state or country, that subscribes to a particular journal, or magazine, or that has a specific title in its holdings. I have an <b>International Standard Book Number (ISBN)</b>, and/or an <b>International Standard Serial Number (ISSN)</b>.<br />
<br />
The above two scenarios offer perfect examples of <b>WorldCat's </b>true value.<br />
<br />
<b><a href="http://arktos.nyit.edu/login?url=http://firstsearch.oclc.org/fsip?dbname=worldcat&done=referer">WorldCat</a> </b>is a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical_search">vertical search engine</a> focusing on libraries. A meta catalog of close to <b>200 million records</b>, WorldCat indexes books and other materials from libraries around the world. A quick search tells you both what books have been written about a given topic, and where a particular book or journal is available based on your current location. Clicking the <b>Find in a Library</b> link in <a href="http://books.google.com/advanced_book_search">Google Books</a> directs you to WorldCat’s search engine and website. Cut out the middle man (i.e. Google) and proceed directly to <a href="http://arktos.nyit.edu/login?url=http://firstsearch.oclc.org/fsip?dbname=worldcat&done=referer">WorldCat</a>.<br />
<br />
<b>Access</b><br />
<br />
NYIT access to WorldCat comes in two varieties: the free public <a href="http://www.worldcat.org/">Url</a>, and the advanced NYIT <a href="http://arktos.nyit.edu/login?url=http://firstsearch.oclc.org/fsip?dbname=worldcat&done=referer">interface</a>. There is also a custom <a href="http://www.worldcat.org/m/">mobile Url</a>, and mobile <a href="http://www.worldcat.org/mobile/">Apps</a>.<br />
<br />
<b>Bookmarks for Success</b><br />

Recently, AMA (American Medical Association) released the most fascinating medical facts of 2011. Here are just some that seemed to be the most interesting.<br />
<ol>
<li>For every American who quit smoking in 2011, another became obese. </li>
<li>63% of doctors say they have changed an initial diagnosis based on new information found online.</li>
<li>Only 9% of patients say online information influences their physician choice. </li>
<li>91% of Americans don't know how much sodium healthy people are supposed to consume. </li>
<li>The overwhelming majority of online physician reviews are positive. </li>
<li>Anxiety and depression medications are used by 27 million Americans. </li>
<li>82% of U.S. hospitals have delayed patient treatment because of drug shortages.</li>
<li>An estimated 4.5 million annual outpatient visits are due to adverse drug events.</li>
<li>80% of patients fear contracting infection in a hospital; 71% worry about medical errors.</li>
<li>Nearly 12 million Americans are cancer survivors, 4 times the number in 1971.</li>
</ol>
And the list goes on...<br />

Many Apps are saved to your device and do not require internet access when they are being used. This is practical when you have limited Wifi, but it also means you need to update the apps frequently to make sure you have the most recent and accurate information downloaded.<br />
Mobile sites are websites or databases optimized for easy navigation on smaller screens and require internet access.<br />
<br />
Check <a href="http://www.nyit.edu/library">NYIT's Library Webpage</a> , and browse the <a href="http://libguides.nyit.edu/">LibGuides</a> including the guide to <b>Medical Mobile Resources</b>. The guide includes both recommended Apps and a list to the mobile sites for databases subscribed by NYIT libraries.<br />

Very often you will need to search for information about a topic <b>without </b>limiting yourself to a particular journal, magazine, or newspaper; your goal is to locate citations about a subject, and/or full text articles. <br />
<br />
Your 2nd bookmark is to the library's <a href="http://www.nyit.edu/library/find_resources/databases">Find Articles in Databases</a> page. These <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical_search">vertical search engines</a> provide in-depth information on variety of subjects. Unlike <a href="http://www.google.com/">Google</a>, what you are accessing is <b>paid-for content</b> from some of the world's leading publishers. <br />
<br />
While some of our resources cover more than 1 topic, these databases highlight specialized disciplines from <a href="http://www.nyit.edu/library/find_resources/architecture_arts">architecture</a> to <a href="http://www.nyit.edu/library/find_resources/health_sciences">neuroscience</a>. For advice on selecting from one of our many titles <a href="http://libanswers.nyit.edu/">ask a librarian</a>. A best in class database that focuses on your major is another great bookmark.<br />
