Update Blackboard Permalinks to Library Resources by June 30

Are you using permalinks to library resources in your Blackboard course? Please be aware that, due to the HSHSL’s transition to a new library system, permalinks taken from OneSearch will stop working on June 30 unless you update them. Here are the steps to create new permalinks from OneSearch.

Permalinks in OneSearch

  1. Start at the HSHSL homepage (www.hshsl.umaryland.edu)
  2. Locate OneSearch, select Title from the drop-down and enter the title of the resource you are looking for. Hit the Enter key or click Go!
  • Next, find the title you are looking for on the results page. You will see several icons near each record’s title. Click on the link icon.
  • A new box will open containing the permalink. Look for the Copy the Permalink to Clipboard option.
  • You now have a permanent link back to the item in OneSearch.

1807: Selected Works from UMB’s Art & Literary Journal

The University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB), is proud to announce the unveiling of a captivating art exhibit in the Health Sciences and Human Services Library (HSHSL). Running from June 10 to July 28, the exhibit promises a journey through diverse artistic expressions sourced from the fifth milestone issue of UMB’s award-winning art and literary journal, “1807.”

Curated by the UMB Council for the Arts & Culture in collaboration with the HSHSL, the exhibit will transform the library’s Weise Gallery into a vibrant showcase of creativity. Visitors can expect to see a variety of different types of art, including photography, paintings, images of varied and visual arts, and the written word. In a grand display, select written pieces will be printed on large sheets of vellum and hung from the ceiling within the gallery space.

This curated collection provides a rare opportunity for patrons to engage with the rich tapestry of talent within the UMB community. Featuring contributions from faculty, staff, and student artists, the exhibition celebrates art and literature, inviting viewers to explore the depths of imagination and expression of our UMB community.

” Whether it’s the evocative brushstrokes of a painting, the intricate details of a photograph, or the emotive power of the written word, there is something to captivate every visitor. We are thrilled to showcase the exceptional creativity and talent of our UMB artists,” shares Jennifer Litchman, senior vice president for external relations and founder, UMB Council for the Arts & Culture.

All members of the UMB community and the public are encouraged to attend and experience the beauty and diversity of the artwork on display. The exhibit promises to be a testament to the richness of artistic expression thriving within UMB.

“Our constituency at UMB is diverse, and the final selections that were published in issue five were also very assorted,” said  Dana Rampolla, director of integrated marketing, Office of Communications and Public Affairs,  and creative director and managing editor of 1807. “1807 and this exhibition not only celebrate the talents of our contributors but also fosters our core values of equity and innovation.”

Don’t miss your chance to be inspired by these and other incredible works on display throughout the year in the HSHSL

PubMed FindIt Button Not Working

The yellow FindIt button in PubMed that links to full-text is not functional at the moment. As we work to resolve the issue there are two options:

  1. Use another full-text link in PubMed (for example, from the publisher)
  2. Use the Medline (Ovid) database from our A-Z list of databases.

We will let you know when the issue has been resolved.
