Working via the VPN portal and experiencing problems with PubMed?

Access to PubMed from elsewhere (VPN portal) can be disrupted for some. We provided an extra link to PubMed on the startup screen of the VPN portal just below 'Medische Bibliotheek' that will solve the problem for most visitors.

However, if you experience problems while visiting PubMed via the VPN portal, please do try the following. Maybe following the first step will already work for you, then you don't have to follow the other steps.

Accept Cisco's Active X component

Go to the portal (http://vpn.erasmusmc.nl) and log in with your microsection number and password
Click the third link named 'PubMed'
A redirect is activated in which the URL will appear normal (www.pubmed.gov), but the portal is still active.
During this redirect a short note can be shown that something from Cisco (Active X) needs to be accepted, but this will often disappear in a fraction of a second. You can work around that with the following: 

  1. In Internet Explorer go to Tools > Internet Options
  2. Click the tab Security
  3. Click [custom level]
  4. Browse to 'ActiveX controls and downloads > Download signed ActiveX controls' and select 'Prompt'
  5. Click [OK] twice

Add erasmusmc.nl and pubmed.gov to your trusted sites

  1. In Internet Explorer, go to Tools > Internet Options
  2. Click the tab Security
  3. Click the green icoon 'Trusted Sites'
  4. Click the button [Sites]
  5. When on the bottom of the screen the button 'Require server verification (https:)...' is active, remove it
  6. Fill in the top field: '*.erasmusmc.nl' and click [Add]
  7. Do the same for *.pubmed.gov
  8. Click [Close] and [OK]

Renew Java

Maybe you need to renew Java. You can do so here: http://java.com/en/download.

Requestform photocopies of articles changed

The requestform photocopies has changed. You can login to the new form at http://82.95.190.162/medischebibliotheek/. After login click the 'request photocopies' button in the menu.

You can use the login information that you used in the old system. Only when you used to have a password shorter then 4 characters you need to choose a new one. Click 'forgot password' to do so.

Because of the new system a delay of a few days can occur for your requests. This will be resolved at the end of this week.

You can send your questions or remarks to y.gueye@erasmusmc.nl.

List of publications by department integrated in website even more easily

Lots of departments of the Erasmus MC present a list of their employees’ publications on the website. The process of gathering, structuring and placing them in the CMS is quite time consuming. The library has developed a procedure that will make this more easy.

If your department stores the metadata of its publications in EndNote we can provide on output style that defines an XML file that can be uploaded to Morello and published on the Erasmus MC website within minutes.

If you don't store publications in EndNote XML files can also be generated with nothing more than a simple list in a Word file, but that takes quite some extra steps.

The library can help you create a first literature list in this way, and will provide you a manual with which you can do this yourself the next time. The sorting and lay-out of the list will be altered according to your wishes. Please contact Wichor Bramer for more information.

The deparment of Internal Oncology have been the first to adopt this new procedure, as they were the first to ask for it. See their list of publications. They use the more complex way via Word. The department of Public Health are the first to use the EndNote way and present lots of different publications.
