Where to Find Coffee When You’re at

the Library

It’s finals time, and we’ve been ge ing plenty of requests up at the desk for where to acquire some caffeine. A very good option if you’re in the library is visiting the coffee machine on the first floor just behind the stairs in the South of the building.

Available all day and all night, it has a number of coffee drinks on its automated menu, including la es, cappuccinos, mocha la es, hot chocolate and just plain drip coffee that can be customized with strength, milk, and sugar levels. The coffee machine is also incredibly well priced, at $1.20 for a vanilla la e (my recommendation).

The next option requires a bit of prior planning, but if you know that you’ll be in the library all day -or all night, since we have 24/7 access for CU Aﬃliates- bring K-Cups for one of our three Keurig machines. There’s one on every ﬂoor next to the

microwaves. Gevalia has great mocha la e K-Cups that work out to being about $1 per brew. King Soopers always has them.

If the need for coffee is felt during regular university business hours and the prospect of a walk sounds nice, coffee options can also be found in Building 500 at the food court until 4pm, at Intermissions Café on the first floor of ED 2 North until 4pm, or Etai’s in Research 2 until 3pm.

(11)

There are also vending machines on the first floor of the library all the way at the North end of the building (closest to Montview) that have various caffeinated soda options as well as a variety of snacks. They accept credit cards as well as cash.

Online Reference Resources

Are you working on a project and wondering what online resources the library might have that can help you? This library website is a great place for you to start your search. Each month the blog will be featuring one resource or a group of similar

resources to highlight, but to start we want to give you an overview of what the Online Reference Resources page oﬀers.

The page is divided into ﬁve reference types and a home page. Starting on the

homepage you can see that it has some tutorials for some of the sights that the library most often recommend for research including PubMed and EBSCO. On the left is a collection of links to all the other research areas we have collected resources for, medical, general, topical, grants, and images and media. The medical and general topics are both organized by the NLM classiﬁcation system and have resources in a variety of media types from ebooks to videos.

On the medical tab you will ﬁnd resources on everything from biochemistry to the respiratory system. Including a dictionary of biochemistry and molecular biology, a collection of heart sounds, and a collection of health hotlines. The general reference tab has citation information, dictionaries, and information on law among other resources. No ma er what your project the online reference resources page is a good place to start.

Like always if you can’t ﬁnd any resources for your project on this page, or need help ﬁnding more you can contact the library with a quick question for a librarian to answer or set up a consultation to have a longer discussion about your needs.

A visit to the National Library

of Medicine

Back in September, I had the opportunity to visit the National Library of Medicine and take their public tour of the facility. I’ll start by saying it’s a really interesting tour, so if you’re ever in the Washington D.C. area, you should deﬁnitely check it out!

The NLM is located in Bethesda, Maryland (about 30 minutes outside of D.C.), on the campus of the National Institutes of Health. It was founded in 1836 and is currently the world’s largest biomedical library. The NLM also coordinates the National Network of Libraries of Medicine, of which your Health Sciences Library is a member.

The NLM building itself is very nice, with a couple of reading rooms on the ground ﬂoor and a lobby area that houses temporary exhibitions. During the public tour, we learned a bit about the history of the NLM and the building, and got to see a few diﬀerent rooms and departments.

Coincidentally, myself and the other two guests on the tour I took were all librarians, so we saw a couple of areas that I believe the tour usually doesn’t go to. We were able to go downstairs into the stacks area, where there are bound physical copies of every biomedical journal you can imagine, dating back many decades. If the internet ever

(13)

ceases to exist, the NLM will still have all the journal articles you might need! Interestingly, the design of the building initially included several architectural

measures to keep these journals safe in the event of a catastrophic event in the area, but due to a variety of complications and bureaucratic red tape, the items are not actually protected by the design as it was intended.

We also saw several rooms full of massive servers that house MeSH, and the rooms where staff members work on MeSH. If you don’t know, MeSH stands for Medical Subject Headings. It is a controlled vocabulary and is what makes PubMed (which is handled by the NLM) unique. NLM staff members with significant experience in a particular medical area–rather than robots–read every single article that will end up in PubMed. These humans then assign MeSH terms to each article. This process ensures that if I write an article about “lung cancer” and you write an article about “pulmonary neoplasms”, we’ll find each others’ articles even if we don’t specifically search for all of those terms– this makes PubMed an incredibly valuable resource for research, as I’m sure you know! (If you want to know more about using MeSH to your advantage to search PubMed really effectively, contact the Health Sciences Library and we’ll help you out.) Anyway, it was very neat to see the spaces where MeSH “lives” in the NLM building.

The real highlight of the tour for me was the History of Medicine collection, which is housed in one of the reading rooms on the ground floor. We got to take a peek in some staff members’ offices that are in this area, and saw this very large and very expensive book scanner that the staff members use to digitize historical texts. Out in the reading room area, we saw this very old card catalog that is not in use anymore but is still in its original location.

(14)

Finally, we went into a very fancy climate-controlled room where all of the really valuable historical texts are kept. This was incredible to see. This room has all kinds of security and preservation measures to keep these materials safe. To be honest, I can’t remember most of the specific texts that the staff member pulled out for us because they all so old and so amazing, but I do recall that he showed us an original le er that George Washington wrote to a medical officer during the Revolutionary War!

(15)

(16)

I didn’t get great pictures of the books, but the short slideshow above gives you an idea of the kinds of materials in this room. Very, very cool!

The tour ended there, but you can see some of the amazing things the National Library of Medicine has from your own living room — their Digital Projects webpage is a good place to start your exploration of some materials you wouldn’t expect to be able to see on the web, such as an Egyptian surgical papyrus wri en in 1600 BC, or anatomical drawings from the 1400s! (Check out Historical Anatomies on the Web and Turning the Pages to see those documents.) The NLM also has a pre y thorough digitized collection of historical health-related images and videos, located on their Digital Collections webpage.

However, aside from all of the amazing old things, the NLM is also home to a massive number of current and modern resources that can improve your research and practice. I won’t go into detail here, but if you want to know more, please contact us at 303-724-2152 or AskUs@hsl.ucdenver.libanswers.com. Thanks for reading, and be sure to go visit the National Library of Medicine if you ever get the chance!

Retraction Watch: A new way to

fake authorship

A recent Retraction Watch article highlighted a unique way to score your article’s acceptance to a high yield journal – submit it under a famous author’s name, then claim it was an accident: h p://retractionwatch.com/2016/11/28/new-way-fake-authorship-submit-prominent-name-say-mistake/#comments . While this case wasn’t caught by Retraction Watch, it’s an interesting spin on the kinds of research publication

misconduct they investigate. Read the details from the editors of 4OR: A Quarterly Journal of Operations Research here: h p://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10288-016-0329-8

Publishers are Requiring ORCID

Do you have an ORCID number, a researcher ID number? There’s a growing list of journals and publishers, including PLoS, Wiley, the American Chemical Society, EMBO Press and others, that require corresponding authors to have an ORCID number. If you don’t have one yet, you can register here.

Library Closures – Holiday &

Carpet Cleaning

The library will suspend 24/7 access for a short period just before Christmas. When HSL closes at 5 p.m. on Thurs Dec 22, ALL USERS will be asked to exit the building — students, staﬀ, AMC, downtown, everyone. NO EXCEPTIONS. This is for carpet cleaning of high traﬃc areas, many of which have rarely/never been cleaned. The suspension of 24/7 runs from 5 pm, Thursday Dec 22 to 7 am, Monday Dec 26. Thanks to everyone for your understanding as we make the library cleaner for everyone! Happy Holidays!

This World Aids Day, contribute to the ﬁght against AIDS by buying art.

The Zimbabwean Aids Treatment Assistance (ZATA) program, founded in part by AIDS researchers from CU Anschu , is selling original art by Zimbabwean artists at the Health Sciences Library from November 28 to December 9 .

The pieces are ma ed and ready to be framed. Most pieces are between $25 and $75, at deep discounts from their original prices. Absolutely all of the proceeds go to ZATA to help AIDS patients in Zimbabwe who have participated in clinical trials continue to receive the treatment and antiretroviral drugs that they need.

There are only 40 paintings available and a few sets of notecard reproductions- any of them would make fantastic holiday gifts! For more information about ZATA, visit their site here. Cash or credit card will be accepted at the library’s front desk. Tax receipts are available as ZATA is a 501c3.

Prospector Temporarily Suspended

The Health Sciences Library is in the process of migrating to a new system. Beginning Monday, November 7, 2016, Prospector services will

be temporarily suspended as part of the migration. Prospector services will be restored within the next several months. We will notify the Anschutz Medical Campus community when services resume. Please watch for

updates. You will still have options for requesting materials during the Prospector downtime.

Interlibrary Loan (ILL): Please create an ILL (Illiad) account to place requests for books and articles held at other libraries. ILL services will be limited to academic material. ILLiad is a free service for most Anschutz Medical Campus faculty, staff, and students. Please visit our webpage. For questions and help with Interlibrary Loan, please contact the ILL office at copydocs@ucdenver.edu or call 303-724-2111.

Your Public Library: If you are looking for popular fiction or leisure

reading, please visit your local public library. Most libraries in the metro area are members of Prospector and can help you with this service.

Thank you for your patience and understanding during our migration process! We will do our best to make the transition as smooth as possible for you. Questions? Please contact the service desk at 303-724-2152. For specific questions concerning Prospector, please contact Tami Hoegerl at 303-724-2175 or tamara.hoegerl@ucdenver.edu.

The Health Sciences Library is in the process of migrating to a new library system to replace our current model. In order to prepare for the transition, we must temporarily turn oﬀ Prospector starting on November 6th, 2016 to resolve all outstanding

transactions.

Prospector transactions processed before this date will retain their original due date. Earlier return of material is appreciated and useful to your library, but not

necessary. During this transition your options available will be to place requests through your public library account, or for academic purposes only you can request material through our Interlibrary Loan Department using ILLiad . Quick and easy to register for an ILLiad account with HSL especially for University users,

students/staﬀ/faculty on the Anschu campus. After November 7, 2016 HSL will no longer be an option when requesting a Prospector item. We plan to reinstate Prospector services in our new system as soon as possible but no reactivation date is known at this time.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Tami Hoegerl at 303-724-2175 or email the Access Services department at circ.library@ucdenver.edu

Medical Lecture Ticket exhibit

Before the rigorous application process of formal medical education was required, anyone who could aﬀord a few dollars could a end medical lectures, and eventually become a doctor. The Medical Lecture Ticket exhibit showcases several lecture tickets from all over the US, including from the University of Denver’s Dental Department and the Denver and Gross Medical College. The tickets represent an era where there was li le regulation and oversight. Although seen as democratizing education, the medical ticket system often led to abuse and poorly trained doctors. The tickets disappeared as medical education reformers began to create the modern medical school application process and curriculum that medical school follow today.

Mindfulness in the Library

October brings with it not only the ﬁrst frosts of Fall and everything pumpkin- there’s also midterm season and pre-holiday planning that may have minds spinning. As we’re all hoping to get cozier in the Fall weather (when it arrives), we can also practice mindfulness to help keep us aﬂoat. It is easy to practice mindfulness in many se ings, but here on the Anschu Medical Campus one of the best places is the Health Sciences Library.

(27)

For one thing, you may already be here. Between our specialized computer

workstations for statistics and VH Dissector, our many anatomical models and sleek laptops available for checkout, it’s likely that this is where you study already. Take a study break now and then and ﬁnd a comfortable spot on any of our three ﬂoors to practice some mindful relaxation:

With a straight back, both feet on the floor and your hands resting comfortably, breathe in through your nose for a count of five, hold for two counts and exhale through your mouth for a count of five. Repeat this ten times, trying to think only about your breath. If other thoughts arise, let them go and re-focus on where your breath is in your body. Sometimes all it takes is a few minutes to re-charge.

For a walking mindfulness meditation- perhaps on your way to one of the Keurig stations or the coﬀee machine- be conscious of each step. Try to hold in your mind the reality of being present in the moment as your feet move. Notice that many muscles in your body are reacting and moving in time with your steps. The rhythm of walking can help your mind regain focus by noticing these small details of everyday reality.

Enjoy the library!

New Staff at HSL: SaraMarie Bottaro

SaraMarie Bo aro is a new

Access Services Specialist at the Health Sciences Library. In her role, she keeps track of the library’s laptops and other

circulating electronics and helps with library

advertising and social media in a graphic design/copy-writing capacity.

Though she grew up in San Diego, California, previous to moving to Colorado to work at CU Anschu , SaraMarie was living in Boston where she earned her two bachelor’s degrees in Peace and Justice Studies and Studio Art from Tufts University and the Museum School respectively.

During her undergraduate career she worked as a work-study student in the Fletcher School of Diplomacy’s Edwin Ginn Memorial Library, where she learned the ni y gri y of circulation procedures and fell in love with working in libraries. This love of working in libraries was put into perspective for her during time working at a tech startup in downtown Boston. The people and the oﬃce-provided snacks were wonderful but the work was not for her.

SaraMarie is thrilled to be utilizing her illustration and design skills in her work on the library’s Advertising and Social Media Task Force Commi ees. Working at the desk is also a big plus for her, as she enjoys making sure patrons have the best experience

possible when they walk in.

In her free time, SaraMarie runs her commission-based art business, knits, writes le ers, drinks tea and has just begun to practice judo.

Featured Special Collections book

for October

The Answer to the Riddle is Me by David Stuart MacLean

What if you had to reconstruct your identity from scratch?

“On October 17, 2002, David MacLean ‘woke up’ on a train platform in India with no idea who he was or why he was there. No money. No passport. No identity.

Taken to a mental hospital by the police, MacLean then started to hallucinate so severely he had to be tied down. Soon he could remember song lyrics, but not his family, his friends, or the woman he was told he loved. All of these symptoms, it turned out, were the result of the commonly prescribed malarial medication he had been taking. Upon his return to the States, he struggled to piece together the fragments of his former life in a harrowing, absurd, and unforge able journey back to himself. …” Medical Humanities/3rd ﬂoor Special Collections

Clinical Corner: Medical Images are Just

a Click Away

Looking for high-quality medical images from reputable sources? The Health Sciences Library subscribes to two resources that I ﬁnd particularly helpful for ﬁnding

images: VisualDx and Clinical Key.

VisualDx started as a dermatology resource and is now a medical image library containing over 32,000 images. For a given medical condition, VisualDx provides multiple images that vary according to age, location on the body, skin pigmentation, and other clinical features. In addition to images, you can also:

read a synopsis of the conditions

learn diagnostic pearls as well as pitfalls

see a list of associated medications if the condition can be drug-related ﬁnd out the latest evidence for therapeutic treatments

download the mobile app

Type in the name of a condition, or use the “Quick Start Diﬀerential Builder” on the home page.

Clinical Key can be used to access both electronic textbooks and journals, but it is also a good source of high-quality medical images. Type in the name of a condition and press enter, then look for the “Filter by” section on the left-hand side of the page. Click the check-box next to “Images.” From the results page, you can click on an image to view it in a larger size, or go to the source book or journal from where the picture came. All images have originated from either a book or journal.

(37)

Try out these resources today! If you have questions or would like to schedule a one-on-one consultation to learn more about these or other resources, contact me at the email address or phone number below. There are many other sources of high-quality medical images, and a list has been compiled by Health Sciences Library staﬀ on a LibGuide titled Images and Media.

Featured Staff Bio at HSL: Dana Abbey”

Dana Abbey:

While pursuing my

undergraduate degree, I needed to ﬁnd a position where I worked only nights and weekends. I was lucky enough to land a position at a public library, and continued to work there another 13 years. During those years, I earned my Masters in Library Science, worked in nearly every library department, and held supervisory and management positions. After leaving the public library, I worked for several years in drug testing and served as a library consultant.

For the past 10 years I have worked for the Health Sciences Library in a program sponsored by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) called

the National Network of Libraries of Medicine (NN/LM). I am a regional coordinator for community engagement, which means I work with those who need health

New Staff at HSL: Madison Mosely

Madison began her foray into library work the summer before her senior year of high school through an internship at the University of Miami’s Louis Calder Memorial Library and quickly fell in love with it. She volunteered in libraries until she graduated from The University of Georgia with her Bachelors in English. While at UGA, she was a member of the International English Honors Society and was an oﬃcer in the Ancient Germanic Studies Society. She concentrated in Advanced Studies in English and

participated in the British and Irish Studies program – through which she studied for a semester at Balliol College at Oxford. For her, part of the thrill of a ending Oxford was knowing that in certain parts of the city she was standing above thousands of archived materials from the Bodleian Library.

She moved to Colorado over two years ago and began working at Boulder Public Library and, a year later, at Mamie Doud Eisenhower Public Library. At HSL she is a part of the Access Services team, works with the Course Reserves, and supervises the Work Study Students. She is thrilled to be in an academic library once again and is even more excited to be working in a library that so thoughtfully caters to its users’ experiences. She truly feels in her element when assisting patrons and is grateful to have the necessary tools and support from the library and her team.

When she is not ﬁlling out applications to Library School, she enjoys reading, writing poetry, watching terrible tv shows about aliens and conspiracy theories (which are totally fabricated… or are they?), practicing her Italian, and eating tacos with her husband while their cat and dogs drool at their feet.

New Staff at HSL: Jessica Gerber

Jessica Gerber, MLS

I came to the library because I was interested in moving to Denver and I looked for a position at the University of Colorado. I moved to Denver from Laramie, WY, where I worked for a community college in the area as their librarian. I had moved to Laramie recently for family reasons from Bloomington, IN, where I a ended Indiana University for my MLS and worked for IU’s main research library.

In my current position as a cataloger, I am working on cataloging one of the special collections, the Bartecchi Southeast Asia Conﬂict Medical Collection. It is a collection centered on the events during the Vietnam Conﬂict, and features books about

physicians who went to Vietnam. I am also helping out with the transition to ALMA, and I have been editing records so they can be sent in to be uploaded.

In my personal life, I enjoy collecting comics, watching anime, reading science ﬁction, and I am interested in ﬁlms from all genres. I see my sister frequently on weekends, and watch my nephew Henry, who is now 1 ½. He has a lot of energy and is interested in everything.

Library Resource Login Problems

The Library CANNOT accept your UCDenver email address as a user ID. Find your Passport ID (alias) here: h ps://MyAccount.ucdenver.edu. You’ll need to know your 9-digit student ID number (which is NOT listed on your ID badge for security reasons), your last name, and your date of birth. This site gives you a great dashboard of

resources, including your alias/username (Passport ID) and links to other campus websites, including Webmail, Canvas, and the Library. Or you can call the library at 303-724-2132 and ask us to look up your alias for you. Please be prepared to tell us the month and day of your date of birth for veriﬁcation.

From what we understand, Orientation is telling you to use your UCDenver email address as the username for everything from the UCDAccess Portal to your Webmail. While your email address may get you into most campus resources, the library is an exception. We apologize for the misunderstanding. The good news is, your

alias/Passport ID will get you into not only library resources, but Access Portal and Webmail too!

De Humani Corporis Fabrica on Display

in Boulder, August 8-31

The Health Sciences Library’s copy of the second edition of Vesalius’ great anatomy book, De Humani Corporis Fabrica, will be on display at the University of Colorado Art Museum in Boulder from the 8 through the 31 of August. De Humani Corporis Fabrica, plus other items borrowed from collections at CU—including rare books from Norlin’s Special Collections and Archives and costumes from the Colorado

Shakespeare Festival—is part of the museum’s exhibition celebrating the arrival of First Folio! The Book that Gave Us Shakespeare, on loan from the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, DC.

Andreas Vesalius’ De Humani Corporis Fabrica, ﬁrst published in 1543, marked the transition of the study of anatomy from medieval to modern. While not the ﬁrst anatomical work based on direct observation, its scope and the quality of its

illustrations and typography made it hugely inﬂuential. The best-known images in the Fabrica are the “muscle men” from book 2, a series of progressively dissected ﬁgures dramatically posed in a landscape. The second edition was published in 1555, nine years before Shakespeare’s birth. The Health Sciences Library’s copy is bound in a beautiful sixteenth-century alum-tawed pigskin binding with brass clasps.

The First Folio, the ﬁrst collected edition of Shakespeare’s plays, was published in 1623, seven years after the playwright’s death. The Folger Shakespeare Library is sending selected copies of the First Folio on a national tour of American museums, libraries, and universities to commemorate the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death.

Visitors to First Folio! will come face to face with the original 1623 book, displayed open to Hamlet’s speech in which he debates whether “to be or not to be.” The tour is

organized and sponsored by the Folger Shakespeare Library, the Cincinnati Museum Center and the American Library Association. By the end of 2016, First Folios will have been exhibited in all 50 states, Washington, DC, and Puerto Rico.

The CU Art Museum, is located in the Visual Art Center at CU Boulder (1085

18 Street, Boulder CO 80309) and is open Monday through Saturday 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Tuesdays and Thursdays until 7:00 p.m. There is no admission fee, but visitors to the First Folio exhibit are asked to sign up for timed tickets
