Meeting, Budget, Budget
Meeting at UCLA
On Wednesday Gary attended the Resource Library Directors meeting at UCLA. Once a year the Regional Medical Library (RML) brings together the directors of 12 academic libraries in the California, Arizona, Nevada, Hawaii and Pacific Islands region to discuss issues of importance, to share information and the learn about programs at the RML. Although negotiations are still ongoing between the RML and the National Library of Medicine, we hope to soon have a subcontract with the RML to support some of our outreach activities. This will be a real help to our budget next year.
Library budget needs
Last week Gary delivered a report to the Vice President for Health Affairs, Dr. Crist, describing budget projections for the next nine years. This brief report also laid out several plans for supplementing the library’s state budget. Later today or early on Monday, Dr. Crist will receive a report from Jeanette and Gary proposing budgetary support from the UA Health Network (UMC, UPH and Kino). Many other libraries receive support from their clinical partners and we feel that this is a good time for the UA Health Network to step up to the plate.
Other budget news
President Shelton is scheduled to announce the UA budget for the coming year later today. We have heard that there may be a 10% cut but don’t know if that would be applied equally to all departments, etc.

Welcome Nicole!, Thank you, News Monitor
Welcome Nicole, Thanks search Committee
I’m happy to announce that Nicole Capdarest-Arest will be joining us on Monday, April 4 as our newest Information Services Librarian and College of Medicine Liaison. Special thanks to the search committee - Amanda, Brooke, Javad, Jeanette and Sandy – for sorting through applications, arranging the interviews, compiling staff comments and making a final recommendation!
The sound of progress
You may have heard (or be hearing) some noise on the second floor this morning. Pat, from the Carpentry Shop, is hanging up the mounting for our new “news” monitor in the front lobby. The monitor itself is on backorder but we hope to have it up and running in the next few weeks.

Tessie’s Photo Brown Bag
Yesterday Tessie treated staff members to a slide show of her photos. The Brown Bag Lunch presentation included photos taken mostly at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum but also at locations around Tucson, Denver and Austin, Texas. By visiting the museum in the early morning hours Tessie has captured many different animals in action poses. Watch for more staff Brown Bags!
