If you subscribe to CINAHL you've probably heard by now that EBSCO has bought the rights to the database and will soon (exactly when is up to interpretation) no longer offer the database on any other platform but theirs. In response, UBC librarians have started a CINAHL listserv to give us a place to discuss and ask questions.
To subscribe to the list send an email to: Majordomo@interchange.ubc.ca. Include the following command in the body of your email message: subscribe lib-cinahl "your email address" (remove the quotes).

I'm pleased to announce that the GMR has funding available for five types of awards. The decriptions for these awards and the Requests for Proposals (RFPs) are found online as follows:
Exhibit Award
Outreach Express Award
Professional Instruction Award
Technology Award
There is no fixed deadline for these awards. Online applications are linked to the RFPs. Applicants must complete the online forms for consideration.
In addition to these awards, the three types of subcontracts were announced in June. Information about these subcontracts also is found on the funding page of the Web Site.
If you are wondering about the difference between subcontracts and awards,
subcontracts are required for projects with budgets that exceed $5,000, while awards are for projects with budgets under $5,000.
Please contact your state liaison in the GMR Office if you have questions about GMR funding opportunities. Information about how to reach your state contact librarian is found on: http://nnlm.gov/gmr/about/staff.html
