Here's a list of top ten things to know as a new postdoc or fellow in at UVA Health:

1) Off-Grounds Access

• Option 1: LibKey Nomad: browser extension that offers links to PDFs while browsing certain pages such as PubMed, WOS, publisher websites, and Wikipedia
• Option 2: Proxy: Start at a library webpage, like the Health Sciences Library homepage, and click on a resource: you'll be prompted for Netbadge login and be able to access library-licensed resources 
• Option 3: UVA Anywhere: UVA IT provides a "virtual private network" that, via a software install of a VPN, and login, puts your computer on the UVA network, thereby providing off-Grounds access to licensed library resources

2) Finding Books and Cross-Disciplinary Literature

• Virgo (UVa’s Library Catalog)

3) Finding Research Articles and Protocols

• PubMed : start at the UVA link to PubMed to get "Find@UVA" links with each citation that will lead you to library subscriptions (or use LibKey Nomad, above)
• Web of Science : a popular UVA-licensed tool for finding cross-disciplinary literature
• A-Z list of health sciences literature databases
• Our list of resources for finding online protocols and research methods

4) When We Don't Own It: Interlibrary Loan

• Our Interlibrary Loan system, ILLIAD, allows you to order books and articles at no charge to you
