The HS/HSL has just completed its two-year 200th anniversary celebration. The two-year celebration commemorated the purchase of Dr. John Crawford’s collection to establish the Library in 1813 and the collection being made available for student use in 1815. The two years have flown by.
Looking back, here are some highlights, plus what lies ahead!
The Health Sciences and Human Services Library (HS/HSL) is offering workshops free of charge to UMB faculty, staff and students; UMMC staff; and HS/HSL Corporate Members during the 2015 Summer Semester. See the list of workshops here.
All in-person workshops will be held in one of the three computer classrooms located on the Lower Level of the library. Registrants for an online workshop will receive an email containing instructions for joining the session online.
To register, complete the registration form. Although registration is recommended, walk-ins are welcome!
If you are interested in a topic but cannot attend our scheduled workshops, be sure to check out our complete list of On Demand Workshops. You can request On Demand Workshops for yourself individually or with a group of your colleagues.
The HS/HSL will be closed Saturday 5/23 – Monday 5/25 in observance of the Memorial Day holiday. We will resume regular hours Tuesday 5/26.
Emergency Maintenance will be performed by Campus IT on the Perimeter Firewall/IPS on Sunday, May 17th between 6:00 and 7:00 a.m. Intermittent internet service outages are expected during this maintenance period.

In this issue:
Access to the the JAMA Network websites has been restored. We apologize for any inconvenience.
The JAMA Network websites are currently inaccessible due to a technical failure at the web host, Silverchair Information Systems. Silverchair has identified the source of the failure and is actively working to resolve the issue. As soon as we have more information about the recovery timeframe for the websites, we will let you know.
We apologize for this temporary loss of service.
