Digital Services Report to Library Assembly (Adrienne Arden)<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n\n\tThanks and congratulations to Adrienne Arden for her ten years of service to MU Libraries.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tFelicity is chair of the four-campus Committee on Digital Initiatives Committee. This year the committee the Library Deans and Directors approved a name change from the MERLIN Digital Projects Committee and a new charge. The committee is currently engaged in identifying possible areas for collaboration and advocacy.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tCurrent digitization projects include early MU theses and dissertations, a pilot project digitizing a volume of the Illustrated London News that will fill in a gap in the HathiTrust, the Pages of the Past project, 4-H circulars, and various requests.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tWe recently completed a project with a SISLT digital libraries class that led to the addition to MOspace of 50+ new items from the MU Cambio Center. The project also led to a stronger relationship with the Cambio Center and its determination to include papers from conference proceedings in MOspace.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tCataloging & Metadata Dept. (Daniel Dodd)<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n\n\tIn addition to routine cataloging, authority work, cataloging projects, and catalog management activities:\n<\/p>\n

\n\tHealth Sciences & Veterinary Libraries (Deb Ward and Terri Hall)<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n\n- \n\t\tHSL will once again partner with the University of Utah in the National Network of Libraries of Medicine. External funding has been approved for five years, with budget approved annually. The first year budget is around $126,000.\n\t<\/li>\n
- \n\t\tSix HSL librarians attended MLA this year. News of special interest: A) Patricia Brennan was announced as the new director of the National Library of Medicine, effective August 1. Dr. Brennan will be the first female and the first non-physician to be named to this post. She comes from the fields of nursing and informatics. B) An interesting keynote described the emergence of “citizen science,” the growing phenomenon of using scientific laboratories by membership, as in a local gym. 3) Colleagues reported growing discontent with pricing policies of UpToDate. \n\t<\/li>\n
- \n\t\tHSL is the recipient of a new gift, The Richard and Tootie Burns Health Sciences Library Endowment. It is a $50,000 gift. Up to $10,000 can be spent the first year; the remainder will be put into an interest bearing account. In subsequent years, the interest from the investment may be spent. It is not devoted to any particular aspect of the HSL, so we do have some discretion on how it will be spent. We will be having some discussions about this in our planning meetings. Thanks to Jim and Matt for their work to make this gift a reality.\n\t<\/li>\n
- \n\t\tHSL will be closing at 6:00 PM on the weekdays, May 31 – June 17. Noisy construction related to the new building will be taking place, and we will direct users to other libraries on campus.\n\t<\/li>\n
- \n\t\tAt a building coordinators’ meeting in April, news was released about a new phot-based parking system that will be put into place for fall. Hang tags will be eliminated when it is implemented. Deb will send out a link to slides pertaining to it and other issues discussed at that meeting to the All-Staff list.\n\t<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
\n\t6. At the Medical Library Association meeting recently held in Toronto,\n<\/p>\n
\n- \n\t\tRebecca Graves coauthored a poster, “Librarians Plan a Virtual Annual Meeting: You’ll Never Guess What Happened”\n\t<\/li>\n
- \n\t\tDiane Johnson was a paper\/poster judge for the research section\n\t<\/li>\n
- \n\t\tTaira Meadowcroft was one of the official bloggers.\n\t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\t8. Many of the librarians attended MyVita training with administrative staff from the school of medicine.\n<\/p>\n
\n\t9. We had a site visit and planning session with one of our librarian colleagues from the Springfield clinical campus. \n<\/p>\n
