There are two changes in how we are able to deliver journal articles to you.
These result from the University of Manitoba adopting the Fair Dealing Guidelines (Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada, 2011, available at http://umanitoba.ca/admin/vp_admin/ofp/copyright/fair_dealing_guidelines.ht…).
Please note that these changes should NOT affect your access to library resources. If you do notice a difference, or have any feedback resulting from these changes, please let us know.
1. Email agreement after requesting an article
Each time you request articles by email, we will respond with the statement below, and will require you to respond stating you agree.
We do recognize that this adds another level to the process to request articles, but unfortunately is a necessary step to comply with licensing agreements and copyright legislation.
"Thank you for your request. In order for the UML to obtain the items you requested we need an acknowledgement from you that you have read and understood the following statement;
The University of Manitoba has adopted the Fair Dealing Guidelines (Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada, 2011) available at http://umanitoba.ca/admin/vp_admin/ofp/copyright/fair_dealing_guidelines.ht…, which pertain to making copies of original materials.
This (these) copies will be used solely for research, private study, review, criticism or news reporting.
By responding to this email with the statement "I agree" you confirm acceptance of the conditions as outlined above.
Once we have received your response we will complete your request. Any questions may be directed to the Document Delivery Department at the Neil John Maclean Health Sciences Library 204-789-3345."
2. No photocopying from the print collection
Previously if you requested a journal article that we only had in our print collection, we could scan a copy of the article and email it to you. Or we could photocopy and mail or fax the article.
We are no longer able to make copies of these articles/chapters for you, though we do have several options of providing this content to you:
* We will purchase the article through a company that charges us for the cost of the article, and also for the cost of the copyright to loan the article (this is similar to loaning from other libraries and is within our budget).
* Mail the print copy to you, complete with return postage.
* Locate a similar resource that we can loan you.
To determine the best option, our Library Assistant Connie will contact you to see which option best meets your needs.
Please let me know if you have any questions,
Orvie

The Community Guide (www.thecommunityguide.org
<http://mhiknet.lib.umanitoba.ca/node/www.thecommunityguide.org> ) is a free
resource from the epidemiology branch of the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention in the US. It provides summaries and recommendations from
systematic reviews that they conduct on broad public health topics.
The Community Guide is a great place to look for answers to questions on:
* Which program and policy intervention has been proven effective?
* Are there effective interventions that are right for my community?
* What might effective interventions cost; what is the likely return
on investment?
Also, a friendly reminder that MHIKNET Library Services will be closed from
Friday December 23, 2011, re-opening Tuesday January 3, 2012.

New guidelines for breast cancer screening have been released by the
Canadian Task Force on Preventive Health Care and published in the CMAJ.
Canadian Task Force on Preventive Health Care. Recommendations on screening
for breast cancer in average-risk women aged 40-74 years. CMAJ. 2011; 183
(17): 1991- 2001. Available from: http://www.cmaj.ca/content/183/17/1991
A summary of the new recommendations included in these guidelines are
available on page 1995.
"Recommendations are presented for the use of mammography, magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI), breast self-examination and clinical breast
examination to screen for breast cancer (see Box 1). These recommendations
apply only to women at average risk of breast cancer aged 40 -74 years. They
do not apply to women at higher risk because of personal history of breast
cancer, history of breast cancer in first-degree relatives, known mutations
of the BRCA1/BRCA2 genes or previous exposure of the chest wall to
radiation. No recommendations are made for women aged 75 years and older,
given the lack of data available for this group.
Mammography
. For women aged 40-49 years, we recommend not routinely screening with
mammography. (Weak recommendation; moderate-quality evidence)
. For women aged 50-69 years, we recommend routinely screening with
mammography every two to three years. (Weak recommendation; moderate-quality
evidence)
. For women aged 70-74 years, we recommend routinely screening with
mammography every two to three years. (Weak recommendation; lowquality
evidence)
Magnetic resonance imaging
. We recommend not routinely screening with MRI scans. (Weak recommendation;
no evidence)
Clinical breast examination
. We recommend not routinely performing clinical breast examinations alone
or in conjunction with mammography to screen for breast cancer. (Weak
recommendation; low-quality evidence)
Breast self-examination
. We recommend not advising women to routinely practice breast
self-examination. (Weak recommendation; moderate-quality evidence)"
The Canadian Association of Radiologists responded (unfavorably) to these
guidelines.
