Electronic Table of Contents Service

Stay up-to-date with your favorite medical, nursing, and allied health literature by subscribing to Ministry Health Science Library Electronic Table of Contents (ETOC) service. You may choose selected journals and the library will email the table of contents to you each time a new issue of your selected journal is released. From this email, you will be able to access the full text of the articles you would like to read.

The ETOC service is a great way to stay current without having to search through the literature. You may select journals titles by:

• Reviewing the Top Ten List of journals on our website,
• Searching for specific titles via our online database, or
• Reviewing this extensive list of selected titles.

Send your list of selected titles to Deb.Knippel@ministryhealth.org. and you will be added to the ETOC distribution list for your selected titles. You will need to register individually for New England Journal of Medicine table of contents at this link https://www.nejm.org/nejm-alerts.

For questions about the ETOC service or obtaining library resources please contact Deb Knippel at 715-346-5091, 65091 or Deb.Knippel@ministryhealth.org.

This year’s clinical conference, “A Culture of Excellence: Inspired Care,” features Liz Jazwiec, RN, and Rich Bluni, RN. Both are nationally recognized speakers and authors of bestselling books that talk about their experiences in health care. These books are now available in the Ministry Health Care Health Science Library.

Eat That Cookie! Make Workplace Positivity Pay…For Individuals, Teams and Organizations, by Liz Jazwiec, offers strategies to create a positive workplace and discusses how these strategies can translate into improved patient care and employee satisfaction.
