“Going to be a nurse, tralala” : the nurse in popular culture
You are most welcome to the opening of the exhibition “Going to be a nurse, tralala” at 12 noon on April 5th at the University library in Huddinge.
The nurse is a continuingly recurring figure in popular culture. We meet her, for it is most often a she, in TV serials and in film, in cheap novels, pop songs and comic strips.
The nurse stereotypes are many and diverse. She can be a romantic dreamer just as well as a self sacrificing martyr, a cunning seductress or a bloodthirsty murderer. The exhibition “Going to be a nurse, tralala” shows some of these images and displays famous and unknown nurses in fiction – from Nurse Ratched in “One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest” to Carla in “Scrubs”.

New order among the bookshelvs in Huddinge
At the library in Huddinge, we have rearranged the reference literature, i.e. books you´re not allowed to check out from the library.
Instead of standing on separate shelves, reference literature is now sorted by subject with the specialist literature and course books. If a book has a red mark on the "back", it is classified as reference literature and may not leave the library.
Dictionaries and encyclopedias are still kept on separate REF-shelves.
If you have any questions, please ask us at the customer service desk.
PubMed goes mobile
NLM has recently launched a mobile version of PubMed. Now you can browse through the full content of the database with your mobile just as easy as with standard PubMed. The mobile version does not however support features as “Advanced search” or “Limits”. Once you have a summarized result list you can filter it on “Free full text” or “Review”. And you can navigate through the abstracts with the “next” and “previous” buttons without having to return to the result list.
A link to PubMed mobile beta will of course be avaible in our coming Library app.
The Bibliometrics Group’s publishing recommendations for research scientists at Karolinska Institutet
The research at Karolinska Institutet is measured with bibliometric methods, both internally and externally. Because of this, the Bibliometrics Group at Karolinska Institutet, on behalf of the Board of Research, has created publishing recommendations for research scientists at KI.
Here are the recommendations in a summary:
- Before you publish, do a little background research into the journal to which you intend to submit your article; it should be included in the Web of Science index.
- Check the journal’s impact factor and consider whether you can choose one with a higher value. (Where do I find impact factors?).
- One high-cited article usually gives better returns on the bibliometric indicators than several low-cited articles.
- Verify all your publications. It is essential to the quality of the database, and there is an explicit intention for the choice of bibliometric model to be such that the verification of all your publications has an aggregate positive effect.
