The National Network of Libraries of Medicine (NNLM) is excited to announce a new web resource, NNLM RD3: Resources for Data-Driven Discovery.
NNLM RD3 is a place for librarians, information professionals, library and information science students, and interested individuals to learn about and discuss research data management throughout the data lifecycle for biomedical and scientific research. NNLM RD3 contains subject primers, professional development events, and information on the major components of research data management: data management, storage, and sharing. The subject primers provide introductory overviews on topic areas within data literacy, physical sciences, life sciences, and engineering.
Professional development opportunities will be continuously updated. The resources compiled on the site will help you learn the basics of data management and the ins and outs of data visualization, as well serve as a guide to regional and national level activities.
There was a temporary loss of internet access at the HS/HSL. It appears that service has now been restored. Please let us know if you are still having problems accessing our resources (hshsl@umaryland.edu or 410-706-7995).
The HS/HSL decided to a have a bit of fun this summer and try out a pilot project to engage your thoughts and opinions. Our first question, “Who will win the NBA Championship: Cavaliers or Warriors?” correctly predicted the Warriors would carry the title, getting 31 votes to the Cavaliers 14. Some pranksters added the O’s and the Lakers to keep us on our toes. Look out for more questions in the near future and thanks for voting!
The Health Sciences and Human Services Library will go to summer hours from Tuesday, May 30th – Sunday, August 20th. From further information about library hours, click here.
The Health Sciences and Human Services Library will be closed for the Memorial Day Weekend from Saturday, May 27th to Monday, May 29th. Summer hours will begin on Tuesday, May 30th. For more information about Library hours, click here.

We were impressed by this whiteboard completely covered front and back with notes for students studying for a psych final. Students are intently poring over books, laptops and screens, meeting in groups and studying individually. Please come by the Information Services Desk if there is anything we can do to assist you. Need help reserving a study room? Want earplugs/headphones? Fresh whiteboard markers? We are here to help you succeed.
ClinicalTrials.gov: New HHS and NIH Trial Reporting Requirements May 23, 1:00-2:00 ET
Rebecca Williams, Assistant Director of ClinicalTrials.gov, will provide an overview of the new clinical trial registration and results information submission requirements that became effective on January 18, 2017. The HHS regulations (42 CFR Part 11) clarify and expand the reporting requirements for clinical trials of FDA-regulated products as initially described in the Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007. The NIH policy is complementary to the regulations. These requirements are intended to help ensure information about ongoing and completed clinical trials are available to the public. Attendees will gain a better understanding of how these requirements apply to research being conducted at their institution and how to support researchers in understanding the information that must be submitted. Information on the resources available to support institutions and researchers will also be highlighted. Williams will additionally demo the beta version of ClinicalTrials.gov. Attendees are eligible for 1 MLA CE

We know you are a busy trying to study and are hoping for a quiet peaceful place to do so. The HS/HSL does all we can to alleviate noise, but despite our efforts, this is a busy building with construction, gatherings and visitors who don’t have their “library voice” turned on. We are putting out more signage and urge you to come to the Information Services Desk at the front of the building for assistance. Our staff will be happy to help in any way we can (hshsl@umaryland.edu or 410-706-7995).
