Message from the Director: Deborah Ward


Change is in the air, and at the Health Sciences Libraries, we are changing too. At the same time, we are staying true to our mission of providing the lasting, community-wide benefits of access to vital information and services that make a difference to our users. We continue to seek new ways to bring value to the teaching and learning experience, patient care excellence, and research efforts.

While we regret that the budget realities we all face have caused us to cancel journal titles this year, and more will follow next year, we hope we can continue to propel your success through access channels rather than the ownership model that is becoming more difficult for all libraries to sustain. 


Be sure to follow our library to learn more about the work we are engaged in, and we look forward to furthering our work with all of you.

Deborah Ward, Director
Health Sciences Libraries
Interim Associate Director, Specialized Libraries
