Joanna Osika, Paulina Biczkowska and Jakub Rusakow from the MUG Main Library were chosen for the second time as one of just a few teams to participate in the FAIR-IMPACT program. It is funded by European Commission and its aim is to support implementation of FAIR data principles in European research services.

This time they will realise project #2: Creating EOSC compliant interoperability policies based on EOSC Interoperability Framework (IF). During several workshops they will have to provide feedback on the interoperability guidelines as well as assess and improve the interoperability level of the Polish Platform of Medical Research of the MUG. In the future, this should contribute to greater opportunities for cooperation with other European services and enhance visibility of the presented content within the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC).

The international Love Data Week campaign always takes place during the week of Valentine's Day. This year's theme is "Whose Data Is It, Anyway?", which aims to draw attention to the non-obvious issue of ownership of research data. Data can be shared, published, reused, and the end user is not always aware of where it really comes from.

On the occasion of Love Data Week, every day throughout the week we will be sharing data management tips on the Facebook page of the MUG Main Library. We encourage you to familiarize yourself with them, as well as to take part in the numerous webinars, events and trainings organized as part of Love Data Week. Their list can be found here.

In order to ensure access to the best possible sources of information, we have launched a new tool in the MUG Library Catalogue - the Primo Research Assistant. This is one of the most modern solutions, using artificial intelligence technology, which allows you to create search queries using natural language. This tool uses most of the content found in the Library's e-resources to identify five documents that can help answer the question asked. Then, it extracts the most important information from the description/summary of each source and saves the answer.

Thanks to the ability to create search queries in natural languages, searching is definitely more intuitive. Because, using the GPT 3.5 multilingual model, the question asked is automatically converted into a query understandable to the search engine. This model also allows you to add instructions to the query regarding the specific language in which you want to get the answer.

Here's how to use Primo Research Assistant:

1. It is necessary to log in to the MUG Library Catalogue.
   After selecting the appropriate field, MUG students and employees will be redirected to the Central Authentification Service (ou have to log in with the same login and password as to the Extranet or to your e-mail in @gumed.edu.pl domain).

   

2. Then, select the Primo Research Assistant from the main Catalogue menu and enter your query.
   
   

Unfortunately, the Primo Research Assistant does not yet support follow-up questions. As such, each question is interpreted independently of the others.

3. More information about the Primo Research Assistant is available by selecting About Research Assistant in the lower left corner of the search window:
    

We encourage you to test this tool.

The Main Library invites you to join celebration of Open Access Week!

This interbational event was initiated by the SPARC in 2008 and has grown rapidly since then.

This year's edition will be held again under the theme Community over Commercialization. The organizers encourage to reflect whether the current approach to open science is implementing the original assumptions of the idea. They are proposing to discuss about "inequitable extraction of profit from publicly funded scietific activities" and encourage the promotion of non-commercial collaborative publishing models, such as e.g. Diamond Open Access, where publications are available openly and the author does not bear any costs.

On that occassion, we have prepared a game in the theme of research data – a virtual escape room. You can expect a solid dose of knowledge, accompanied with an uncommon sense of humour and puzzles.

The game will be available via the Library's website and Facebook profile from Monday October 21 to Sunday October 27.

In addition Jakub Rusakow, PhD, will present the actions taken by the Medical University of Gdansk to promote Open Science during the GenOA Week.

Dr. Jakub Rusakow, Head of the Scientific Information and Promotion Division at the Main Library and coordinator of the Excellence of Scientific Publications Unit, was qualified for the Skills4EOSC Fellowship Programme, which is financed by the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC).

From 02.09 to 11.10.2024 he is completing a 6-week internship at the Italian Institute of Technology in Genoa. As part of the programme he is being involved in implementing a tool for automatic creation of data management plans.

Dr. Rusakow qualified for this edition of the programme as one of 4 people from all over Europe.

Albert Einstein supposedly said "The only thing that you absolutely have to know, is the location of the library". And while the location of the MUG’s Library remains the same, we are changing the library system and the online catalog, i.e. the source of information about our collection. That is definitely worth knowing!

The currently implemented integrated Alma system is used in more than 1,800 institutions around the world. Its implementation is co-financed from funds obtained under the non-competitive project entitled "Supporting processes of university consolidation" realized by the Ministry of Education and Science under the Operational Program Knowledge Education Development co-financed by the European Social Fund (contract no. MEiN/2022/DIR/3438).

A new online catalog linked to the Primo Search will be used to search the book collection and electronic resources of our library and the libraries of the Fahrenheit Union of Universities in Gdańsk. The functions and facilities of this catalog will support you during your studies, research work or preparation of publications. However, you will be able to make full use of it only after signing in.
The new catalog uses the university's authentication system, so from now on, in order to use your library account, you will sign in, in the same way as to? the university's mail or Extranet. External users (outside MUG) will be asked to create a new password the first time they try to sign in.

Catalogue

Signing in to your library account is an important step, as certain information (e.g., book availability) does not display to non-logged-in users. By signing in, you will be able to order and borrow textbooks and scientific books, use electronic resources, check your library account, as well as save interesting searches, or use the option of sending data to designated reference managers.

International Open Access Week is an initiative that seeks to prove that knowledge is a human right and to promote concept of Open Science and scientific collaboration across social, geographic and economic boundaries. It was initiated by SPARC and continues since 2008.

The theme of this year’s Open Access Week was “Open for Climate Justice”. Why was this particular issue chosen to be addressed? Climate changes are among the global society’s biggest challenges. No doubt about it. And everyone has to face them. However, not everyone is affected by them equally. As many as 67% of natural disasters occur in the countries of Global South – in Africa, Latin America, parts of Asia and Oceania. Most of these countries are considered as developing countries without insufficient access to free knowledge. Knowledge that is crucial to tackle climate crisis. That is why we want to promote free sources of information, accessible to all people. From Monday till Friday (24-28.10) we shared on our Facebook chosen articles from Polish Platform of Medical Research concerning climate changes. We encourage you to read them!

 

We prepared also a climate change quiz available for the whole week. You just needed to answer couple questions, provide your personal details (name, surname and e-mail address) and you could win medical textbooks sponsored by Edra Urban & Partner and The Book Service.

Winners will receive an e-mail.

Check also the Open Climate Campaign website.
 

We encourage you to take advantage of the trial access to Oxford University Press ebooks.

A test access includes access to the whole Oxford University Press handbooks collection in the field of medicine and clinical psychology on the Oxford Academic platform.

Additionally, the test involves AMA Manual of Style.

The test will be available till 31.12.2022.

Library accounts of all first-year students will be activated on September 30 at 3 pm.

From that time, it will be possible to log into one's library account and order books via the MUG Main Library catalogue online.

As we celebrate the annual Libraries Week (May 8-15th) with the official theme “Library – the whole world in one place”, some spectacular events will take place in the MUG Main Library.
 

On Wednesday, May 11th, we would like to invite you to participate in the cross-cultural communication workshop How to be culturally intelligent and why worth trying? run by Professor Natasza Kosakowska-Berezecka. The event will take place at 1 p.m. in the Reading Room no. 2 in the MUG Main Library and will be held in English. You can count on more attractions after the meeting during the “Intercultural Integration Coffee”. Thanks to cooperation with our partners – SASS, Resource Team, Phi Delta Epsilon, MedHum, Welcome Point, Gazeta GUMed and GUMed Museum – you will get the chance to compare medical bags from XIX and XXI century, participate in numerous funny activities and have a less formal chat. Snacks – from all over the world – included.
 

From May 9th the exhibition-surprise "72 in 1" will be presented. We are sure that – according to libraries week theme – it is possible to create the whole world in one place. You won't need 80 days to explore it, here it will take just a week!

About workshop:

We live in the global world that is challenged with global problems – the pandemic, climate crisis, migration and refugees seeking shelter from horrendous conflicts and wars. We are all interdependent and if we do not learn how to cooperate across nations, cultures and regions we will not come even close to solving any of these problems. Cultural intelligence is one of the key social competences necessary to foster such cooperation and a necessary asset if you work in cross-cultural setting. During this 1,5 hour meeting we will focus on how to be inclusive and open to diversity and develop our cultural intelligence that can be used in solving interpersonal conflicts.

Natasza Kosakowska-Berezecka has a PhD in Psychology and works as an Associate Professor in the Division of Cross-Cultural Psychology and Psychology of Gender at the University of Gdańsk. Her main area of practice and research is gender equality, diversity and work-life balance within the area cross-cultural psychology and her special interests are mechanisms of bias, social change and organizational cues fostering social capital and diversity within organizations and societies across the world. She lectures at Polish universities but also abroad (Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge; Arctic University of Norway, Tromso; University of Brunel, Uxbridge, London; Universidad de Granada, Spain; Delhi University, India; University of Geneve, Switzerland). As diversity expert she also co-authored the Integrative Model for Migrants for City of Gdańsk.
