Research Day
On Wednesday the AHSC presented the “Frontiers in Biomedical Research” Poster Forum on the AHSC plaza. AHSL was represented by two very nice poster presentations. Jennifer Martin and Sandy Kramer displayed their poster describing a literature-searching project in the College of Pharmacy. Our second poster presented work done on the Frontera Collaboration for border health by Annabelle, Brooke, Yamila and Jeanette. You can see Jennifer and Sandy’s poster on our website at:
http://www.ahsl.arizona.edu/about/presentations.cfm and I’m sure that any member of the Frontera team will be happy to share their poster with you. Thanks to everyone who made this event a success!
Collegiate Showcase
As part of Homecoming weekend the Health Sciences Center is presenting a “collegiate showcase” on the AHSC plaza today from 1-3:30 PM. The exhibit will feature posters from many organizations on the AHSC including the library. With short notice Yamila and Mary R. put together a beautiful poster representing the library. Stop by the plaza after our staff appreciation luncheon to see it. Thanks to everyone involved in getting this done!
Dr. John Palmer
Thanks to Nga for putting together a wonderful poster celebrating the life and career of Dr. John Palmer. Dr. Palmer will be receiving the UA Honorary Alumnus Award over Homecoming Weekend. You can see the poster in the glass cases, just outside the library entrance, near the doors at the top of the exterior stairway.
24/7 study area?
The request we get most from students is for longer hours. Many newer library buildings include a room with a separate entrance that is available 24/7 with no supervision. We are starting to explore the possibility of creating a 24/7 study area in room 2101, the Java City area. By closing off the room with a movable partition across the library side in the evenings and giving access from the hallway with a card swipe we may be able to meet the student’s needs. We are considering installing security cameras and perhaps employing a staff person if additional security is needed. We are working with Facilities, Risk Management, UAPD, UMC Security and ITS on this proposal. If you have any ideas or suggestions, please pass them along to any ATeam member.
Exhibit reception
Dr. Witte will be hosting another reception to publicize the exhibit, Creating a Community of Questioners for the Future. The reception will be held on Wednesday, October 27 from 4-6 PM. I’m sure that library staff will be welcome to attend.

Jacque & Kathleen, Visitor, Office Moves
Headline in UA News
Jacque generated some great publicity for the AHSL in working with Kathleen Carlson of ASU (and an AHSL Clinical Education Librarian) to produce a list of trusted consumer health web sites. She and Kathleen gave a presentation on finding health information on the web at a monthly breakfast series for UA and ASU faculty in Phoenix. Their presentation was picked up by one newspaper in Phoenix and by our own UANews.

Visitor
Sandra Martin, Interim Director of the Shiffman Medical Library at Wayne State University in Detroit will be visiting the library next week. As I mentioned in November, Sandra is an NLM/AAHSL Fellow, one of five this year, participating in this highly competitive program for librarians who show strong leadership potential. Sandra will be meeting with many people around the library to ask questions and to learn about our operations. She will visit us again, probably in late summer or early fall.
Office Moves
On Friday Jennifer will be moving downstairs to a cubicle “over the wall” from Amanda. Annabelle will be moving into the Information Desk Offices. This will make their former office available for the ITS Help Desk staff. For the next week Sandra Martin will be using Annabelle’s “old” desk.

Publicity for PHRILS & PILS, 4th Floor
Publicity for PHRILS & PILS
For three days during the first week of classes Annabelle and Jennifer set up a table in the Drachman Hall courtyard to publicize the library liaison services now called the Public Health Research and Information Liaison Service (PHRILS) and the Pharmacy Information Liaison Service (PILS). They had around 250 visitors to this very successful event. Here are some photos:
Fourth Floor
Study carrels and tables have been moved up to the south end of the fourth floor. In addition, some of the moveable whiteboards have been anchored to the room dividers. All of the moveable furniture has been relocated to the north side of the room. The cloth on the carrels is awaiting cleaning. Once clean they will be available for use. So far some students are using the space as we envisioned it – as a quiet study area. Run up and see it if you have a chance.

USPHS Meeting, SLA Meeting
US Public Health Service Meeting
Pat and Annabelle presented both a paper and a poster at the national convention of the US Public Health Service held in Tucson last week. Their topic was the Pima County Community Health Task Force, a coalition of the Pima County Health Department, the Pima County Board of Supervisors, the Pima County Public Library, the AHSL, the UA National Women’s Health Center of Excellence and the Colleges of Nursing and Public Health.
The poster showed the vision and mission and what each of the collaborators contributes as well as progress to date. The presentation described the history of the collaboration, where we are now, and our plans for moving forward.
Special Libraries Association
When a panelist dropped out at the last minute, Sandy got herself on a panel at the Special Libraries Association annual meeting in Seattle. The panel, titled "Embedded Librarianship: Background & Overview" was a discussion of libraries that have “co-located” librarians with their user groups as we have in Public Health, Pharmacy and Bio5.

A photo tour of Pharmacy & Public Health
Ever wonder where, exactly, Mari, Jennifer and Annabelle are when they're over in Pharmacy and Public Health? Here's a quick photo tour to see them.
Start out by walking up the "mall" toward Bio5 and you'll see the College of Pharmacy.
Head up the stairway on the northwest corner of the building (the first one you see).
Go in the door on the second floor (it's three flights up!)
Once inside, turn right and go through this door.
Staying to the right you'll soon spot Jennifer's cube.
And here's Jennifer!
After seeing Jennifer you can head across the building to the bridge that connects the College of Pharmacy to the College of Public Health. Once you cross the bridge you'll see a sign on your right.
Bear to the right, the a quick left after you pass the mailboxes and you'll come to Annabelle's office.
And here's Annabelle!
Here are two of our remote liaisons conferring with each other about some important matter.
And across the aisle from Annabelle's office is Mari's cube. Mari's on vacation so I'll get some photos when she returns.

Pogoe, Interlibrary Loan
Pogoe (pronounced Pogo-E)
The AHSL Geriatrics and Gerontology health topics page is this month’s featured website on the Pogoe website: www.pogoe.org Pogoe is the Portal of Geriatrics Online Education. Carol Howe created and maintains this page – great work Carol! Here is the text that accompanies the link to our page,
(http://www.ahsl.arizona.edu/topics/geriatrics/ )
This month’s featured site is the Geriatrics and Gerontology Web Page, hosted by the Arizona Health Sciences Library at the University of Arizona with support from the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation and the Arizona Geriatric Education Center. This continuously updated website features the most recent evidence-based articles and other resources addressing major geriatric syndromes such as frailty, deconditioning and incontinence. “PubMed Alerts” – pre-formulated and automatically updated searches on key aspects of these syndromes are provided. The website also contains information on broader topics such as aging demographics, health literacy, clinical trials recruiting older patients, consumer resources, and professional associations.
Spotlight on Interlibrary Loan
Two years ago the four health sciences colleges asked the library to remove the fees that we charged for Interlibrary Loan. A plan was put into place, procedures were changed in the department and several bookkeeping changes were made. The first year was difficult financially, but the ILL budget is now balanced. Kathy, Jennifer and Laura have all contributed to making the ILL operation as efficient as possible. Last year ILL borrowed 4,214 items for our users and supplied 2,802 copies via document delivery. We also supplied 11,548 articles and books to other libraries. If you do the math you’ll see that the ILL staff is very busy! Thanks to Kathy, Jennifer, Laura and their student workers for providing this service to our users and to those at other libraries.
