New Editorial Journal Review on A Step-Up Approach or Open Necrosectomy for Necrotizing Pancreatitis

 

Removal of the “Print Chapter” view from all medical Access sites

Last week, only a few days after it had posted to AccessMedicine, the newest version of Harrison’s was discovered circulating on a number of digital lockers, torrent sites, and other means of illicit file sharing. A quick examination of the file revealed that the party (or parties) who had created it simply printed every chapter of Harrison’s, “bound” it as an ebook, and started distributing it. Presently, the “Print Chapter” view makes it far too easy to accomplish a task like this.

To address this issue with digital piracy, we will remove the "Print Chapter” option on all Access medical online products. This is scheduled to be effective Thursday, September 1 on AccessMedicine and then to each subsequent site with its next release. We realize this will not stop piracy dead in its tracks. We do hope, however, that it will make it more difficult for those inclined to illegally redistribute our content, while still making our sites easy to use, as users will still be able to print by section.

If you have questions about this change in functionality, please contact your sales representative at digitalsales@mhedu.com.

McGraw-Hill is developing audio cases based on the well-liked Case Files series, edited by Eugene C. Toy, MD. We plan to create audio cases for each book and to format them like mini-lectures/grand rounds. We are trying to find the "sweet spot" for length of the audio tracks, balancing recording time with an appropriate amount of information in the case. As a result, we have recorded and posted "LONG" and "SHORT" versions of three cases. Your comments about which length is most useful and amount of information conveyed in the cases will help the author and McGraw-Hill create a better product.
