HI A number of people wanted to be updated on procedure to access TBL cases at Med Ed Portal 1. You can register on Med Ed portal site and get access to non-restricted collections (TBL cases are restricted) 2. You can search for abstracts of TBL cases but canšt download cases without special permission 3. There is no indication at abstract level of how to get access....if you happen to click on title of abstract...it takes you to a details page that does have instructions on how to gain access Access to Restricted collections 1. you send email to Med Ed administrator requesting access (email address on detail page behind abstract)....wait 24 hours 2. they send you a link to a survey where you outline your credentials and someone to vouch for you.....your HR person or another TBL case authour....they contact your sponsor and verify your credentials.......wait 72 hours 3. they send you a zipped file with case and licensing Ruth Levinešs advice to contact the case authour directly is probably the most efficient and timely -- Jim Sibley Director Centre for Instructional Support Faculty of Applied Science University of British Columbia 2205-6250 Applied Science Lane Vancouver, BC Canada V6T 1Z4 Phone 604.822.9241 Fax 604.822.7006 Email: [log in to unmask] Web: http://cis.apsc.ubc.ca Š Copyright 2010, Jim Sibley, All rights reserved The information contained in this e-mail message and any attachments (collectively "message") is intended only for the personal and confidential use of the recipient (or recipients) named above.
