Please join the staff of the J. Otto Lottes Health Sciences Library in congratulating Levi Dolan who has been awarded an associate fellowship at the National Library of Medicine as part of the 2020-2021 cohort of fellows.

“The chance to work at the mothership for health sciences librarians is a true honor. Their current focus on building data science capabilities promises some really interesting and challenging projects for our group of fellows. Especially in a time when we are all hyperaware of the importance of access to good health information, being a part of that work is vital and impactful.”

Levi Dolan completed his MLIS from the University of Missouri-Columbia this past month. Since June 2018, Levi worked as the graduate library assistant at the J. Otto Lottes Health Sciences Library. This year, Levi also took on the role as a research assistant for the National Network of Libraries of Medicine. During his time in library school, he worked as a library supervisor and tutor at Stephens College, and was a teaching assistant and co-project manager for a Library Carpentries workshop for his practicum.

The Associate Fellowship Program is a residency fellowship hosted at the National Library of Medicine (NLM) which is a part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) campus in Bethesda, Maryland. This one-year fellowship will begin in September 2020 and offers fellows a rich educational and leadership experience provided by the NLM, the world’s largest biomedical library.

Each year a small cohort of recent graduates is awarded the opportunity to attend this unique training opportunity. The 2020-2021 cohort includes two University of Missouri MLIS graduates. University of Missouri previously had one graduate named as a fellow in 1992.

Summer 2020 Online Textbooks at the Health Sciences Library

By Taira Meadowcroft Posted in Gateway Carousel HSL J. Otto Lottes Health Sciences Library Resources and Services

Posted on June 8, 2020June 10, 2020

Summer 2020 required and recommended online textbooks for classes in the School of Nursing, School of Health Professions and the Department of Health Management and Informatics are now available. Each course has its own corresponding tab.

We made the decision to only link to online textbooks since our physical library is closed and our print books cannot be checked out at this time.

Unfortunately, we don’t have all the books required for every class. If we don’t have your textbook, you can recommend the library purchase a copy.

Working on your promotion and tenure packet? Perhaps your third year review? Contact the Health Sciences Library to save you time.

Your subject librarian can gather the relevant metrics to show the impact and quality of your work. These metrics can include traditional metrics like impact factor and acceptances rates, and non-traditional metrics like almetrics. (Not all journals will have impact factors, so non-traditional metrics are a good alternative to consider when establishing the quality and impact of your work.)

To get the process started, email us for a consultation to discuss what metrics you need for your P&T materials, as well as other services available to you.
