Caryn Scoville and Kate Anderson Presented Paper in St. Louis
On April 17th, Caryn Scoville and Kate Anderson presented “Creating an Evidence-based Morning Report for Residents in Child Health” at the 6th Annual St. Louis Children’s Hospital Nursing and Allied Health Research and Evidence-Based Practice Conference. The theme of the conference was: Curing Within a Safe Environment.
Announcements From HSL
Hello Everyone,
I want to announce that this morning Billi, Mike and Shelley put up a poster that Kate presented at MLA last year. It is in the display case on first floor. Other librarians have agreed to bring in their former MLA and MCMLA posters so that we can put them in the case over time. Thanks to all of them for doing this.
Also, this Friday, HSL will host the Arts in Healthcare Week art display. A group of medical students will move about 25 art pieces from the University Hospital Lobby to the HSL second floor public area early on Friday morning, and will return them to their owners late Friday afternoon.
I hope you will take the time to enjoy them!

Tech Tip
Need a screen shot but aren’t sure how to do it?
Have the window that you want to capture visible. Don’t forget that you’re capturing the entire screen, not just the window, so don’t have that picture of you in your pajamas peaking out when you copy!
From a Windows keyboard: Push the F12 key. Nothing will happen, so you won’t know if it worked until you go into a program and try to paste it. So, go to the program (Word for example). You then want to use the Paste function and the picture should appear. In Word, for example, click the Home tab. Paste is the first choice on the left.
On a Mac keyboard: Push the F13 key. The rest of the steps are the same as the Windows keyboard.

A quick note from the library’s Diversity Action Committee to say ‘thanks’ for your participating in the survey on diversity/inclusiveness. Forty-five individuals responded to the survey. Results are being analyzed and will be presented to staff at a date/time to be determined.
Thanks. Leo
