The PubMed  Limits page has been replaced by a results filter sidebar to provide users with a more visible and accessible way to narrow PubMed results. The filter sidebar options will work the same way as the limit selections; that is, once a filter is selected it will be activated for subsequent searches until the selection is cleared.  The "Filter your results" portlet will eventually be incorporated into the filters sidebar. For additional information about the filters sidebar, please read:

The NLM Technical Bulletin and the PubMed trifold.

When students have Blackboard-related difficulty, they should contact their instructor instantly. Often the issue is course content-related and needs to be resolved by the instructor. If it is a technical problem the instructor can't solved, the instructor should contact METC_Blackboard_Support@rush.edu as soon as possible. One of the Blackboard support team members will work with the instructor to provide a solution. 

The reason we ask that instructors, rather than students, to contact the METC Blackboard support team is that needed changes usually require the instructor's permission (e.g. removing an exam attempt) and some incidents involve the collaboration of both instructors and support staff (e.g. re-organizing the course content).

Addressing a Blackboard problem should be initiated by students immediately contacting their instructor, followed by the instructor working with the Blackboard support team. This procedure eliminates any unnecessary burden upon students, streamlines communication, and ensures that Blackboard issues are resolved in a timely and efficient fashion.

In March, Robert L. Behling visited the Rush campus to co-present,
"Two Rush Doctors: Military and Family PracticeCareers of the Drs. Williams,"
with Rush Archivist Heather Stecklein. The presentation chronicled the lives of Behling's great-grandfather, John L. Williams, MD, who graduated from Rush Medical College in 1863 and his son, William E. Williams, MD,  who also
graduated from Rush. John L. Williams served as a surgeon at a Civil War
hospital in Vicksburg, and he later returned to Cambria, Wisconsin to run
a small-town medical practice. Williams and his son provided primary care
to the small community for over fifty years. Throughout the presentation,
Behling and Stecklein exhibited special items from the family's collection-
including the surgical kit used at the Civil War hospital, items removed from soldiers, family correspondence, and photographs.  

At the conclusion of the presentation, Mr. Behling issued
a surprise announcement: He declared that he was donating
the entire collection of materials to the Rush Archives.   More . . .

The new collection, titled "The William E. Williams and John L. Williams Collection, Cambria, WI, donated by R. Behling and J. Sweeney," is available for viewing at the Rush University Medical Center Archives. In addition to the items used in the presentation, it includes an early brass microscope, a medical field kit, and a variety of photographs and documents related to the family and its medical practice. The Rush Archives is thrilled by Mr. Behling's generosity, and it will maintain the collection as a valuable historical resource for many years to come.
