Join us at the Hirsh Health Sciences Library for another open workshop this Thursday, from noon-1pm, in Sackler 510. This session will be focusing on learning one of our many useful databases – Ovid. All Tufts community members are welcome to attend, and we allow snacks so you don’t have to go hungry!

Ovid Medline 101
Searching the medical literature more precisely can save you time and energy. Come spend 45 minutes exploring and searching Ovid’s MEDLINE database. In this hands-on class, we’ll focus on:

• Formulating and performing a subject search
• Applying basic filters
• Accessing full text articles
• Sending lists of results to yourself

This is a class designed for users new to Ovid – PubMed users welcome! Space is limited, so be sure to arrive promptly for a seat!

If you’re like me, you may not be much of a cook.  I tend to live on pasta and sandwiches.  However, there is one dish that my family has made over the years that even I can make.  It is zucchini pie (well it’s more like a quiche).  If you love cheese, feel free to pile it on.  I’ve also tried variations with eggplant!  Enjoy!   – Becky

ZUCCHINI PIE

1  8 oz. package of crescent rolls

2 or 3 medium zucchini, thinly sliced

3  T. margarine

1  clove of crushed garlic or 1 tsp. powder

salt and pepper

2 beaten eggs

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

parsley

Parmesan cheese

Separate rolls into triangles and place in 9″ pie plate.  Saute zucchini in margarine until soft – drain.  Mix eggs, cheese, parsley, salt, pepper, and garlic.  Pour over top of zucchini (in pie plate) and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.  Bake at 350° for 30-40 minutes.  Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting.

I am a big fan of Elise Bauer and her blog: SimplyRecipes.  They are easy, no fuss and good. I bring my lunch everyday so at least once a week I need to make something that has leftovers. This one looks like a bit of a pain, but it is easy and you can modify it to suit your needs. Don’t like beef? Use ground pork, turkey or tofu. Add what veggies you have in the fridge. Don’t want to make cornbread from scratch? Buy a box.  Top it all off with salsa, sour cream and guacamole. I feel warmer already.  – Amy, Research & Instruction Librarian

An early release of 3pm has been declared and we will be closing the service desk by 4:30PM.  If you have any reserve books or equipment please return them to the library service desk by 4PM.  Thank you for your cooperation.

The Hirsh Health Sciences Library would like to wish the Tufts community a safe and happy Halloween!  Remember that this evening we will be airing episodes of The Twilight Zone near the 4th floor library service desk.  We hope to see you there!

There will be some construction within the 6th floor classroom the next three Saturdays from 6am-2pm.  There may be noise associated with the work that is being done so students will be advised to study in other areas if it becomes a disruption.  We apologize for this inconvenience.
