Celebrating Five Years of Service, Success!

On October 15^th, the Health Sciences Library celebrated its fifth anniversary of serving the Anschutz Medical Campus community.  Faculty, staff, students, and members of the public had a chance to meet with library staff and enjoy a cupcake and coffee.

 

 

Library IT staff were on hand to promote the availability of laptops and iPads for our faculty, staff, and students.  Students were asked to complete a technology survey in order for the library to better serve their needs.

 

 

 

 

Collection Management staff were present to introduce historical medical artifacts that are available for research purposes.

 

 

 

The Health Sciences Library’s fifth year celebration was indeed an enjoyable opportunity to highlight its services and wonderful staff!  If you didn’t have a chance to join us for the party, be sure to stop in and say hello!  We look forward to many more years of collaboration and service with the Anschutz Medical Campus community.

Celebrating 5 Years of Service October 15, 2012

Save the date and help the staff of The Health Sciences Library celebrate our 5th anniversary on the Anschutz Medical CampusIn 1939 the Denison Memorial LIbrary was erected in its original site on the old campus at 9th Avenue and Colorado Boulevard with funds provided by the Denison family, a family of physicians.  By the beginning of the school year 2007 we were a very lonely library as most of the schools and offices had relocated to the Anschutz Medical Campus.

You can imagine the logistics it takes to move an entire library!  The staff worked for years planning the building and the move.  Finally the time had arrived and October 15, 2007 The Health Sciences Library opened in its present location on the Anschutz Medical Campus.  We couldn’t leave the whole building behind.  We had to take a piece of it with us.  While you are here, take the time to go to the socond floor and see the stained glass window with the Denison coat of arms that had been donated to us by the family and had been on display in the old Denison Memorial Library.

The celebration is from 11am-1:00pm on Monday, October 15 in the Health Sciences Library foyer.  There will be food, drinks and free gifts.  Come join the fun.  Share and learn the secrets your library has to offer.

[Helen White, Circulation Manager]

Crisis? What Crisis? The Future of Scholarly Communications and the Health Sciences Academy

By many accounts, scholarly communications are in a state of crisis, with some experts predicting end-times.  The advent of e-publishing and easy dissemination through the Internet have markedly improved access for readers of the academic journal, but at a cost – to academic libraries through ever-escalating subscription prices, their University sponsors who struggle to sustain collection budgets, and researcher authors who increasingly have to absorb escalating per-page fees for their articles.

Join us for Crisis? What Crisis? The Future of Scholarly Communications and the Health Sciences Academy, a conversation about the future of scholarly communications sponsored by the Health Sciences Library with a panel of experts, national and local, featuring:

• John Corboy, MD, FAAN, Professor, Dept. of Neurology, CU School of Medicine and Editor of Neurology: Clinical Practice;
• Roxie Foster, PhD, RN, FAAN, Professor and PhD Program Director and Interim Chair, Division of Adult and Senior Health, CU College of Nursing and Editor-in-Chief of Journal for Specialists in Pediatric Nursing;
• Tom Richardson, Director, Institutional Sales and Service, New England Journal of Medicine, and Society for Scholarly Publishing representative to the Chicago Collaborative;
• Jean Shipman, Director, Spencer S. Eccles Health Sciences Library, MidContinental Region and NLM Training Center, NN/LM, University of Utah, and Association of Academic Health Sciences Libraries co-convener of the Chicago Collaborative; and,
• Jerry Perry, MLS, AHIP, Director, CU Health Sciences Library, Panel Moderator.

DATE:              October 18, 2012

LOCATION:     Shore Family Auditorium, Nighthorse-Campbell Building

TIME:               2:30-4:00 pm

A reception will follow Crisis? What Crisis? in recognition of the HSL’s 5 years of service on the Anschutz Medical Campus, and the 200^th anniversary of the landmark New England Journal of Medicine.
