Health information in other languages
Mary Riordan has compiled a collection of health topics in a variety of languages common to refugees in the U.S. Links to these documents appear on AZHealthInfo and copies have gone out to many public health and library groups in Arizona. You can see these documents by going to http://azhealthinfo.org, selecting “Local or State” next to Health Topics and then browsing for items such as “Cancer Resources for Refugees”. An example is: http://www.healthinfotranslations.com/pdfDocs/angina-Hindi-Fin.pdf
A few items from the Administrative Team
The “ATeam” is reviewing possible library-wide goals and projects for the coming year. A few of the possibilities are the “space committee”, increased public relations/awareness, working closely with the new Dean in the College of Nursing on her initiatives, review of and possible redesign of the web site and exploring a partnership with the College of Pharmacy and TGen around their recent grant.
On November 6, 2009 the College of Medicine and the University Press will be having a reception in the library for the release of a memoir of Dr. Merlin K. “Monte” DuVal, first Dean of the College of Medicine. Dr. Duval’s family has been invited.
Gary will be in Washington, DC during the week of October 19th to attend the “capstone”/graduation for this year’s class of AAHSL/NLM Leadership Fellows, including Sandra Martin. The week will involve visits to the National Library of Medicine, the NIH library, the Association of Research Libraries and the Association of American Medical Colleges with panel discussions at each site. Sandra is so appreciative of the welcome that she received at AHSL. This will be a proud moment for her and an educational experience for all in attendance.
