Library Global Scholars Announced

Jim Cogswell has named Darell Schmick and Sandy Schiefer as the MU Libraries’ representatives to the Provost’s Global Scholars Program 2013. This year the scholars will be led by Dr. Wen Ouyang to the People’s Republic of China. Sandy intends to work with Chinese librarians to learn how recent Open Government legislation in China is affecting the use of data for research by faculty and students. Darell will work with medical librarian counterparts in China to identify common issues with American medical libraries and hopes to develop a Google customized search for reputable Chinese health information resources for patients and their physicians. Darell and Sandy will continue the tradition of excellence that MU Libraries’ representatives to the Global Scholars program have demonstrated for many years. Good luck and good travels!
