SOURCE and INCLUSION GUIDELINES:

This is a UIPO (and allies) community-sourced list of video and other licensed content that library vendors are making available on free or modified terms during the COVID-19 outbreak. We cannot vouch for any particular vendor, but will include press releases and other statements as we make them available.

This is a list ONLY for subscription or licensed content that is now being made available for free or on significantly reduced/discounted terms. It is NOT a list for various “how to move online and access our content remotely (for money)” webinars.

 

Some of this content will require the assistance of a librarian to gain access. Please contact a USD librarian in those instances.

MED/SCI Trackers, Indexes, and Archives:

Med/Sci Publishers, Vendors, and Private Platforms:

  • BioOne
  • Digital Science (Dimensions): we are able to free people from the constraints of specific applications and platforms by providing all relevant content on COVID-19 in Dimensions as a single export file, updated daily, to make sharing and distributing this research information easier. The file is available:
  • As a Google Sheet: https://bit.ly/2TDDobv
  • As an Excel file hosted on figshare: https://bit.ly/38DHyEE
    The file contains the details of (and links to) all relevant publications, data sets and clinical trials. The content has been exported from Dimensions using a query in the openly accessible Dimensions application, which you can access at 
    https://covid-19.dimensions.ai.
