Surviving your Medical Education

Are you in an intimate relationship…while trying to navigate the responsibilities of medical school? Is medical school simply pu ing stress on you and your loved one(s)? If so (or not) you may want to check out, Intimate relationships in medical school: How to make them work available here at the Health Sciences Library.

Or maybe you don’t have time for a relationship, you’re just trying to keep your head above water. Robert Coombs has some sage advice for you in his book, Surviving medical school. I’m sure most of our med students, however, aren’t just surviving, they’re doing ﬁne. But is “ﬁne” good enough? What if you want to excel! We have the book that reveals the tips and tricks on How to excel in medical school.

We all know med students have it tough, but what about nursing? I’ve had many a nursing student come into my oﬃce with bloodshot eyes and a dozen things on their agenda. From now on I’m going to recommend this book to them: Surviving nursing. Pharmacy students would beneﬁt from our online book, Pharmacy student survival guide.

Several programs here on campus require students to dissect a human cadaver in the anatomy lab. It is an experience most of us will never have. But we can experience the philosophical musings of those who have through books like, Body of work: Meditations on mortality from the human anatomy lab and One breath apart: Facing dissection. For those of you that have or are about to experience the anatomy lab, check out these books to prepare and compare your experience to the authors’ here.

Are you a woman struggling to be heard in the male-dominated world of academia and medicine? We have some support for you in the books, Lifting a ton of feathers: A woman’s guide for surviving in the academic world and Women in medicine: ge ing in, growing, and advancing.

Are you about to ﬁnish that Ph.D., but you know life in the laboratory is not for you. Help is right here on campus. Explore diﬀerent science career paths with our

book, Alternative careers in science: Leaving the ivory tower. You can also contact the Alternatives in Science Club.

The Health Sciences Library has these books and many more to help you through diﬀerent phases of your medical education. Please see the complete list below. To put them on hold just follow the links.

Shopping for an e-book reader

or tablet?

This time of year “e-book reader” is on a lot of gift wish lists. There’s so many options now – should you get

an e-reader that is offered by a specific bookseller (Kindle, Kobo, Nook), or go with an all around tablet and load apps for the different booksellers.

If you’re a smart shopper you’ve been looking for reviews. TopTenReviews is oﬀering

guidance on both e-readers and tablets, so that you can make an educated selection.

Do you have a reader or tablet you love? Tell us all why in the comments space below! [Lynne M. Fox, Education Librarian]

PubMed Commons: A New Forum for

Scientific Discourse

If you’re reading this, you probably spend a lot of time searching on PubMed. Wouldn’t it be great if you could read comments from other researchers when you viewed a PubMed record?

This could soon be a reality through PubMed Commons. Now in a pilot phase, PubMed Commons is looking for participants. Be a pioneer contributor to this new collaboratory comment system. An FAQ shares information on PubMed Commons and can answer many of your questions about the new system. [Lynne M. Fox, Education Librarian]

FYI: Trying to replace

important documents?

During the recent ﬂooding many Coloradoans lost important documents. This information may be helpful in locating the oﬃces and agencies that can help you replace those papers:

Did you lose any of your important personal papers in the recent flooding? If so, you may be scrambling to remember everything that needs to be replaced, as well as figuring out where to go to get replacements. The Colorado Division of Emergency Management has addressed this problem by posting a list on their blog with websites and contact information for obtaining birth, death, and marriage certificates; mortgage, property, and insurance papers; adoption, immigration, and military records; financial information; passports; drivers licenses and vehicle records; and more. Even if you were not affected by the recent flooding, this is helpful information to keep on hand in case any of your important documents are ever lost or destroyed.

Please note, the list links to a federal government website for obtaining birth, death, and marriage certiﬁcates. However, if the birth, death, marriage, or divorce occurred in Colorado, you can obtain these records from the Colorado Dept. of Public Health & Environment’s Vital Records Section.

NLM Activates Emergency

Access Resources

The National Library of Medicine (NLM) has activated the Emergency Access Initiative (EAI) in support of medical eﬀorts in the Philippines and surrounding areas following the devastating typhoon. The Emergency Access Initiative provides free access to full-text articles from over 650 biomedical serial titles and over 4,000 reference books and online databases to healthcare professionals and libraries aﬀected by disasters.

The Emergency Access Initiative serves as a temporary collection replacement and/or supplement for libraries affected by disasters that need to continue to serve medical staff and affiliated users. It is also intended for medical personnel responding to the specified disaster. EAI is not an open access collection – it is only intended for those affected by the disaster or assisting the affected population.

Access the collection @ Emergency Access Initiative.

For questions regarding the Emergency Access Initiative, please

email custserv@nlm.nih.gov or call 1-888-346-3656 in the United States, or 301-594-5983 internationally.

Featured New Book – “Always There”

“Always There:

the remarkable life of Ruth Lillian Kirschstein, M.D.” by Alison F. Davis, Ph.D.

“There are very few people who have such a profound impact on their professions that the telling of their life story is also a recounting of the history of their time and place. Ruth L. Kirschstein, M.D., who provided direction and leadership to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) through much of the second half of the 20th century, was one such person. At a moment in time when professional service to the government is often not given the respect it deserves, the story of Ruth’s life, and the positive eﬀect she had on public policy, public health, and the training of several generations of biomedical researchers, should inspire those considering public service and give great satisfaction to those currently serving the nation and the world.”

Exhibit: 20th Century Microscopes

The Health Sciences Library is exhibiting a selection of our early 20th century

microscopes. The exhibit is on the second ﬂoor landing at the South side of the building. The microscopes, made of brass, steel and glass, show the union of ﬁne

craftsmanship with precision research tools. Included in the exhibit is an example of a Bausch & Lomb microscope and two Carl Zeiss microscopes.

Also included in the exhibit is an image from what is perhaps the best known early treatise on the microscope was Robert Hooke’s Micrographia: or, Some physiological descriptions of minute bodies made by

magnifying glasses. Hooke was the curator of experiments at the Royal Society of

London when he was asked to give a series of lectures on his experiments with the microscope. He gave his ﬁrst lectures in 1663, and in 1665 presented his work in the Micrographia. It is one of the earliest books devoted to microscopy, based on demonstrations Hooke arranged for the Royal Society The Health Sciences Library is honored to have a copy of this wonderful book in our rare books collection. All the artifacts and rare books in the Library’s collection are available for research with an appointment.

Information on using these resources can be found on our website at: h p://hslibrary.ucdenver.edu/special-collections.

Additionally, information and images of the artifacts are available on the Health Sciences Library’s Digital Repository.

FYI-Free Pill Identification &

Information Database

Here at the Health Sciences Library we often turn to Micromedex for pill images to identify loose medications. There’s both search by pill markings and by color, shape, pa ern information. But Micromedex’s Drug Identiﬁcation tool is an expensive licensed database and consumers can now turn

to Pillbox, complete with 1800 images of prescription medications. And now, app developers can access the 1800 images via the RxImage site.

Book Review: The Lady and

Her Monsters

UPDATE, 10/30/13: The Shelley-Godwin Archive, an online collection of materials related to Mary and Percy Shelley, William Godwin and Mary Wollstonecraft has just been announced. First available from the archive, on October 31st, are Mary Shelley’s notebooks with notes and ideas and early drafts of Frankenstein. A facsimile edition exists, but its small print run and expensive price tag made it a rarity on it’s own. The project pulls together rare and rarely seen materials from private collections, the New York Public Library and Oxford’s Bodeian Library. This time of year numerous versions of Frankenstein show at horror ﬁlm festivals and on third tier cable channels. Have you ever wondered how a teenaged Mary Shelly could have imagined such a tale?

If you were looking for a 19th century equivalent to the Kardashians, look no further than Mary Shelly and her half sister, Claire Clairmont,. The sisters were certainly scandalous enough and their personal lives were widely reported in British

(32)

g p y p

newspapers and gossiped about in the ﬁner circles. Just half of their antics would have invited derision and ridicule from the general public.

But the sisters weren’t your typical celebrities and Mary Shelly was possessed of a singular intellect. Their father, William Godwin and Mary’s

mother, Mary Wollstonecraft, were prominent authors and proponents of some of the most outlandish and progressive ideas of their time. Mary’s mother died shortly after her birth, and Mary was educated by her father, reading (especially her mother’s writing and her father’s frank memoir of their love and marriage), and the ideas of her father’s intellectual circle – a who’s who of enlightenment and neoclassical scientists, philosophers, and artists of the day.

Tales of Galvanism, grave robbing for anatomical study and other grisly talk fascinated Mary. All coalesced when she engaged in a ghost story competition with traveling companions in 1816. Her tale of re-animation has become one of the great horror stories, retold and re-interpreted through the years. Roseanne Montillo investigates and relates the origins of Frankenstein: Or, The Modern Prometheus, examining the influence of Mary’s personal life, society, and the scientific, philosophic, cultural, and legal ideas and personalities of the time. Montillo sheds light on the often grisly efforts to animate corpses with electrical charges and the shady, but still legal at the time, business of grave robbing to supply “fresh” corpses for

experimentation. She also links the life of the author with her intellectual surroundings to demonstrate without a doubt that only someone with Shelly’s personal and

intellectual history could have conceived such a monster. (Debate still rages over which is the monster – Dr. Frankenstein, or his re-animated corpse.)

Montillo has engaged readers at the nexus of literature and history of science to introduce fans of Frankenstein to the unique world of Mary Shelly and the tale that only Shelly could have imagined. I doubt the Kardashians will oﬀer such an enduring legacy.

The lady and her monsters : a tale of dissections, real-life Dr. Frankensteins, and the creation of Mary Shelley’s masterpiece / Roseanne Montillo.

Medicine in Media: A Young

Doctor’s Notebook

A Young Doctor’s Notebook is a dark comedy based on the short stories of Russian author, playwright, and physician Mikhail Bulgakov (1891-1940). The story follows a newly graduated physician, played by Daniel Radcliffe, assigned to be the sole physician in a small hospital in an extremely remote village. The doctor’s older self, played by John Hamm narrates the young man’s struggle to deal with the realities of his new career: uneducated,superstitious, and sometimes violent patients; limited resources; the skeptical , jaded hospital staff; his highly regarded predecessor; the isolation of a Russian winter, and his own inexperience. The story deals with the young man’s coming of age, the history of medicine, Russian history, medical ethics, and drug addiction as it shifts from the now of the fledgling

doctor writing in his notebook in 1917, to the now of his older self, reading the notebook in 1934. The older man frequently enters his younger self’s reality, oﬀering advice and criticism—both unwanted.

The first four episodes of A Young Doctor’s Notebook’s aired on the Sky Arts channel in the U.K in 2012, with another four episodes filmed in 2013. The first season debuted in the U.S. on the Ovation Network in October 2013, and the second season has not yet aired here. The first season can be viewed through Amazon Instant Video and on DVD, but the second season is not yet available.

Rare Book Profile: Elizabeth Grey,

Countess of Kent’s A Choice Manual, or,

Rare and Select Secrets in Physick

and Chirurgery.

Elizabeth Grey’s A Choice Manual, or, Rare and Select Secrets in Physick and Chirurgery (London: Gartrude Dawson, 1659) is a collection of household recipes, published with her A True Gentlewomans Delight, Wherein is Contained all Manner of Cookery. The collections were edited with additions by W. Jar,” a professor of

physick.” While A Choice Manual and A True Gentlewoman’s Delight have separate title pages and pagination, and are sometimes bound separately, they were printed and sold as a single work. The ﬁrst part is mainly medicinal, while the second is entirely culinary, although some of the ingredients in the medicinal recipes now seem more like food than medicine.

Elizabeth Talbot Grey (1581-1651) was the eldest daughter of Gilbert Talbot, Earl of Shrewsbury, and a granddaughter of Bess of Hardwick. She married Henry Grey, Earl of Kent in 1601. She was well educated, a patron of scholars and poets, and the

employer of Robert May, famous for his book The Accomplisht Cook (1660). She was known for her medical knowledge. Her sister, Alethea Howard, Countess of Arundel, shared her interests, and published her own recipe collection, Natura Exenterata. A True Gentlewomans Delight includes a recipe for Lady of Arundels Manchet (white bread).

The ﬁrst edition of the Countess’s compilation was printed in 1653 by Gartrude Dawson, who took over her husband’s London print shop after his death. Instead of addressing a nobleman, the dedication of A Choice Manual is to “the virtuous and most noble Lady, Latitia Popham,” the wife of a supporter of Oliver Cromwell, and A

(35)

True Gentlewomans Delight is dedicated to Mistress Anne Pile, a baronet’s daughter. The book was a bestseller, with many updated editions. The 22nd and last edition was published in 1726.

The Health Sciences Library’s copy is the 11th edition, published 1659. The title page of the ﬁrst section and the last 4 pages of the second have been damaged, with a slight loss of text, and the book lacks the Countess’ portrait. It came to the library as a gift from the Denver Medical Society, and was rebound in brown leather by Frank B. Rogers.

Rare materials are available to individuals or groups by appointment on Wednesday mornings and Thursday afternoons, or at other times by arrangement. To schedule an appointment, contact Emily Epstein, emily.epstein@ucdenver.edu or 303-724-2119. [Emily Epstein, Cataloging Librarian]

PubMed Commons: Post Peer Review

System from NCBI

The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) has released PubMed Commons, currently in pilot phase, which is a new system that enables researchers to share their opinions about scientiﬁc publications indexed in the PubMed database. This is intended to be a forum for open and constructive criticism and discussion of scientiﬁc issues. Find out more about the project and how to participate.

(37)

Post-Publication Peer Review: PubPeer

Move over peer review, there’s a new sheriff in town. PubPeer is an online community developed to encourage post-publication peer review and discussion. The site was started by a group of researchers frustrated with the closed-door, pre-publication peer review process – the intent being to improve research quality and transparency . Scientists can comment (comments are by default anonymous) on almost any scientific article published with a DOI, PubMed ID, or preprint in the arXiv. Searches can also be generated with key words or author names (it’s unclear if this search only yields those authors who have created an account). While anyone can search the site, only first and corresponding authors can create an account, which allows them to be notified of comments.

PubPeer has created a Google Chrome plug-in indicating which papers in PubMed have public comments.

PubPeer’s statement on anonymous comments: “Blind peer review has been employed by most major scientiﬁc publications in order to allow reviewers the ability to critically assess the work of their peers without fear of retaliations. We believe this to generally be a good system and would like to encourage it’s usage on PubPeer. ”

Wishes received!

During the month of July 2013, the Health Sciences Library asked our users to let us know what three wishes they would request from a library genie. The library staﬀ wanted to use this information to assist in creating a new strategic plan.

The library was thrilled to receive 108 submissions for a total of 352 wishes! The most popular type of wish was for an addition to the library’s collection – a book, journal, database, or other type of resource. The Library’s Collection Management department is researching those requests right now.

The library wanted to share all 352 wishes that were received. Additionally, if a wish could be “granted” right now, that information is included in the Comment column. The library will continue working on updating its strategic plan and are hoping to share a draft in early fall.

It’s Coming…Colorado’s Health

Insurance Marketplace

Colorado’s Department of Regulatory Agencies, Division of Insurance is busy reviewing hundreds of proposed new health insurance plans meeting federal

requirements for beneﬁts and premiums outlined in the Aﬀordable Care Act (ACA). Two important dates are on the horizon:

October 1, 2013 – Connect for Colorado, the state’s new health insurance marketplace opens for consumers and small businesses

January 1, 2014 – health plans go into eﬀect

January 1, 2015 – Companies with at least 50 employees must provide coverage if not already oﬀered

You may have questions from patient’s, family member, friends, and colleagues about the ACA – you might even have questions of your own. The Health Sciences Library has put together some helpful resources in their Health Literacy and Patient Education Resource Guide, under the tab “Patient Resources.” There is a great videodiscussing the challenges for both patients and healthcare providers as Colorado works to roll out the state’s health exchange. There is also an excellent guide from the Institute of

Medicine that will assist patients in understanding what they need to do to comply with mandatory insurance. In addition, there is information from Colorado PEAK for public assistance beneﬁts and Connect for Colorado.

Rare Book Profile: Gregor Mendel’s

Versuche über Pflanzen-Hybriden

(Experiments in Plant Hybridization)

Sometimes unimpressive-looking books can have world-changing impact. Gregor Mendel’s Versuche über Pﬂanzen-Hybriden (Brno: Verlag des Vereines, 1866) is a perfect example of this. When it was ﬁrst published, it was largely ignored, but in it he

presented the Mendelian ratios which laid the foundation for modern genetics, earning for him the unoﬃcial title “Father of genetics.”

Gregor Johann Mendel (1822-1884) was a botanist and Augustinian monk. He was born Johann Mendel, the only son of a farming family in Austria. At age 11, he was sent to school in Troppau. He then enrolled in the Philosophical Institute at the University of Olmü , where he excelled in physics and mathematics graduating in 1843. That year, against his family’s wishes, Mendel entered the Augustinian Abbey of St. Thomas in Brno, and took the name Gregor. In 1851, Mendel was sent to the University of Vienna to study science and obtain teaching certiﬁcation. In 1853, he returned to the monastery to teach secondary school and conduct research. In addition to plants, he studied bees, astronomy, and meteorology. Most of his published research was in meteorology, and he founded the Austrian Meteorological Society in 1865. He was elected abbot in 1868, and gave up research to accommodate his new responsibilities. He died in 1884 and was buried in the monastery.

When Mendel began his experiments, it was generally accepted that traits of oﬀspring were a blend of all traits of its parents, and that hybrids invariably reverted to the parents’ original forms—no stable new varieties could be generated. Mendel chose to

(70)

work with peas because there were many varieties with distinctive traits, controlled pollination was easy, and new generations could be produced quickly. His

experiments, which involved nearly 30,000 plants over almost ten years, led Mendel to three major conclusions: the Law of Segregation and the Law of Independent

Assortment, and that heredity follows basic statistical pa erns. He asserted that these principles apply to all organisms.

Mendel presented his ﬁndings in two lectures before the Natural Science Society in Brno in 1865, which published them in Verhandlungen des naturforschenden Verines in Brünn (Transactions of the Natural Science Society in Brno) in 1866. When the paper was published, Mendel asked for forty reprints and sent many of them to prominent scientists, but his work was largely ignored until 1900, when three botanists arrived at the same conclusions, only to discover that Mendel had published ﬁrst. Initially

controversial, Mendel’s work became increasingly accepted and inﬂuential.

The Health Sciences Library’s copy of Mendel’s paper was extracted from the journal. It is a small, thin volume, printed in a Roman typeface with no illustrations, narrow margins, and a gray library buckram binding.

Rare materials are available to individuals or groups by appointment on Wednesday mornings and Thursday afternoons, or at other times by arrangement. To schedule an appointment, contact Emily Epstein, emily.epstein@ucdenver.edu or 303-724-2119. [Emily Epstein, Cataloging Librarian]

When journalists call, are you ready

to comment?

Do you ignore phone or email messages from science or medical reporters, hoping they won’t call back?

If you don’t call back, will they share inaccurate information with the public?

If you do call back, are you contributing to a clear understanding of a topic, or adding to the general confusion about a discovery’s importance or impact?

Ed Yong, award winning journalist and National Geographic blogger, acknowledges, “there’s a lot of nervousness about giving comments to journalists.”

He has shared some tips he believes will bring some clarity to science reporting. You can eﬀectively participate, provide information that will help the public, and give context to new discoveries. You can prevent misunderstanding.

Health journalist Gary Schwi er was so discouraged by the poor quality of health news reporting, he

established HealthNewsReview.org and established 10 principles for quality reporting. He, and a group of reviewers rate news stories about health innovations and discoveries using these principles. They believe that communicating these 10 elements can help the public be er understand scientiﬁc and medical discoveries and their potential impact on all our lives. Keeping these 10 principles in mind when you are called for background or comment may help you improve reporting, and save clinical colleagues from an onslaught of unnecessary patient calls and questions!

The Library also offers three books that offer tips, training, and illustrations of how to communicate science more effectively to the public or the media:

A scientist’s guide to talking with the media : practical advice from the Union of Concerned Scientists by Richard Hayes and Daniel Grossman. HSL General Collection/3rd Floor Q 225 H4184s 2006

Am I making myself clear? : a scientist’s guide to talking to the public by Cornelia Dean. HSL General Collection/3rd Floor Q 223 D283a 2009

Don’t be such a scientist : talking substance in an age of style by Randy Olson. HSL General Collection/3rd Floor Q 223 O527d 2009

(72)

You can help improve the quality of science understanding with just a few simple and eﬀective tools. In an era of apathy about science education, if you don’t help the public learn, who will?

Find evidence based full text

information quickly using Trip Database

Trip Database is an evidence based search filter for research articles, evidence based synopses, DynaMed (an evidence based clinical information tool), and non-evidence based image, video, and news resources. It provides an efficient first stop for searching for evidence based information.

Trip has enabled full text linking to the University of Colorado Anschu Medical Campus’ journal subscriptions and to PubMed Central’s (PMC) free full text collection. To set up full text linking, ﬁrst sign up for an account (your account will facilitate full text linkage, saving searches, and convenient return to prior search topics via the timeline.)

Once you have signed in, alter your proﬁle (via the ‘Se ing’ bu on) by selecting the “University of Colorado Anschu Medical Campus Health Sciences Library option from the Your Institution menu.

(74)

Trip now oﬀers the following resources with its one-stop searching interface:

DynaMed integration: Click on the DynaMed tab and you’ll see the results. Access to the actual content is only available for those with subscription access – the Health Sciences Library provides a subscription. To utilize this resource through Trip when oﬀ-campus, go to the Clinical Tools list, click on Dynamed, and log in as prompted (use your employee or student ID. Hospital staﬀ should put an H in front of their 5 digit ID number). Users may need to repeat this process if your login times out while browsing Trip results.

Case Reports: Working with BioMedCentral’s Cases Database we’re really pleased to see this interesting collection added to the site.

Developing World Filter: Working with a slightly modified filter from a Norwegian Cochrane site we have created a specific and sensitive filter to quickly and easily find evidence suitable for low and middle income countries. This is a great tool for evidence based decision making for Global Health projects.

To see these changes, click here.

If you’d like to work with a Health Sciences Librarian to use Trip more efficiently, feel free to set up a consultation. We’re happy to meet in your office to provide the training and consultation you need to efficiently tackle any project!

Google Reader ceases July 1

If you’re a Google Reader user then you’ve probably seen Google’s announcement that it plans to phase out Google Reader on July 1, 2013.

Here on the Anschu Medical Campus many Google Reader users will take advantage of Outlook 2010’s RSS Feeds feature, buried down the folder view under unused folders like “Junk E-Mail” and “Outbox” that most of us never use. If you don’t use Outlook, there are many other alternatives. Lifehacker blog recommends 5

alternatives, with Feedly winning audience favorite by a wide margin. Another blog mentions 12 alternatives. They options suit users who are novices to experts in RSS reader use.

Adding feeds in Outlook 2010 is easy. once you’ve arrived at a blog, news website, or continuously updated website, look for the le ers RSS or the RSS feed symbol – a square with a dot and two curved lines, sometimes in orange – click the symbol, copy the URL (it usually contains the le ers xml).

When you right click on the RSS Feeds folder in Outlook, you can click Add a Feed. Simply paste your URL into the dialog box and your feed will be set up in Outlook.

Read the “Get Started” guide provided by Microsoft if you need more assistance, or feel free to Ask Us to visit your oﬃce so that a librarian can help you set up your feeds. Tech savvy folks may want to export an OPML ﬁle from Google Reader into Outlook, and How-to Geek provides instructions to facilitate that process.

UPDATED on June 17, 2013 with a link to an article with 12 alternatives. [Lynne M. Fox, Education Librarian]

Book Review: The Marlowe Papers by

Ros Barber

The Marlowe Papers by Ros Barber is available via Prospector, Colorado’s cooperative lending library catalog.

Of all the possible candidates in the “who really wrote Shakespeare’s works?” debate, Christopher “Kit”

Marlowe is often quickly dismissed. After all, he died at age 29 during a dispute over debts. His contemporaries probably saw it coming – his quick temper, heretical views, or his tendency to get romantically involved with the wrong men or women conspired to predict an early end.

And yet, hundreds of years later, a dedicated group of scholars persists in the theory that his death was faked to escape legal and other troubles and he survived to funnel work through associates to be passed oﬀ by Shakespeare as his own.

The Marlowe obsessed writer Ros Barber weaves together

the threads of scholarly evidence into an entertaining tale of Marlowe’s post 1593 life, full of escape, danger, proverty, love, and of course, writing. The story is presented as Marlowe’s autobiography, in Elizabethan style blank verse. If I’ve lost you at the mention of verse, be reassured that Barber’s talent as a writer shines through, making the verse accessible and engaging even as she takes care to preserve the authenticity of Marlowe’s Elizabethan era “voice”.

Once you’ve read the Marlowe Papers, you may want a end the Colorado Shakespeare

Festival performances of Richard II, Macbeth, and Midsummers Night’s Dream to experience one of the world’s premiere outdoor performances of the Bard (or Marlowe’s?) works. You’ll recognize Richard’s description of England as “this sceptred isle”, hear Malcolm quip that “Nothing in his life Became him like leaving it”, and who can’t relate to Titania’s “me hought I was enamored of an ass?” The repertory company performs in

University of Colorado’s Mary Rippon Theatre from June 7 to August 11, with some matinee performances.

(77)

The Marlowe Papers is available by request via Prospector, a library lending cooperative based in Colorado.

The combined collections of over 40 academic, public and special libraries in Colorado and Wyoming are available to Univerity of Colorado Anschu Medical Campus library users. Materials include print and multimedia materials. Electronic request delivers dvds, cds, and books for research or entertainment to the Health Sciences Librarywhere you can pick up your materials after receiving email notiﬁcation of their arrival.

Although electronic and journal resources are listed in Prospector, licensing prevents download or use by users not

aﬃliated with the owning library. However, you may travel to a Prospector member library to use materials. Check the websites of the member libraries before visiting the library.
