Congratulations Jacque!
Congratulations to Jacque who has been elected to serve on the MLA Nominating Committee for 2010. We should also note that Jerry Perry, our former Head of Information Services, has been elected MLA President-elect.
DuVal Papers
The library has received a donation from Mrs. Ruth DuVal, widow of the founding dean of the College of Medicine, Dr. Merlin K. (Monte) DuVal. The donation consists of papers, photographs and some memorabilia of Dr. DuVal’s. These include records relating to the founding of the College and to Dr. DuVal’s service as Assistant Secretary of Health in the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare (now HHS). We hope to be able to organize and preserve these valuable papers for the use of future scholars.
Computer equipment
This week we signed an MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) with ITS (the College of Medicine Information Technology Services.) This document clarifies the service that we can expect from the computer support people and specifies that we will have a say in how certain funds are spent. We hope to have some new staff computers coming soon in addition to large flat screen monitors in two of the group study rooms. Older staff computers will be “trickled down” to the lab with some additional memory to make them more useable.
Happy Holidays and New Year!
This will probably be the last Update until after the break. I hope that you and yours enjoy a peaceful and enjoyable holiday season and that the coming year brings you happiness and contentment.
