Tooey, presents the Theodore E. Woodward award to Dr. Charlotte Ferencz\" width=\"543\" height=\"342\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>On June 20, the HS\/HSL presented the Theodore E. Woodward Award to Dr. Charlotte Ferencz, in recognition of her outstanding support and service to the Library. Dr. Ferencz collaborated with the Library in 2005 by contributing her professional expertise and financial support to the development of the &quot;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.hshsl.umaryland.edu\/chd\/\" target=\"_blank\">Congenital Heart Disease: a Public Health Perspective<\/a>&quot; web site. More recently, she donated her personal book collection to the Library, allowing us to establish the Ferencz Historical Collection.\n    <\/p>\n<p>The Charlotte Ferencz Endowment Fund gave us the means to supplement that core collection with the purchase of three additional volumes. The books were selected for their relation to Dr. Ferencz&#8217;s teaching and research interests and were formally presented at the Woodward award luncheon. The new additions include <em>Cardio-Vascular Diseases Since Harvey&#8217;s Discovery<\/em> (1929) by Humphry Rolleston, <em>The Heart In Early Life<\/em>, (1914) by George Sutherland, and <em>Manual of the Diseases of Infants and Children<\/em> (1911) by John Ruhr&auml;h. As Ruhr&auml;h is a renowned former faculty member, his book holds a particular value for us, and its addition to our collection solidifies Dr. Ferencz&#8217;s association with our institutional history in a special way.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-title\">\n<h3><a name=\"02\">How We Spent Our Summer Vacation&#8230;<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\">\n<div class=\"article-text\">\n<div class=\"alpha-shadow\" style=\"margin: 0 0 0 15px !important; float:right;\">\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www2.hshsl.umaryland.edu\/newsletter\/images\/mj-large2.jpg\" alt=\"M.J.

For our users who visit less often, you may be surprised to find that the Reference Desk moved to a more convenient location, some computers were relocated, and public computers now feature an application to request assistance. We freshened up the Library by recovering chairs, replacing carpet on the first floor, and adding a fresh coat of paint where it was needed.<\/p>\n<p>These improvements were completed as part of a renovation to accommodate some student services in the building.  In late September, Student Accounting, the Office of the Registrar, the Office of International Services, and Financial Aid will move to the second floor. The relocation of these services will make them more convenient and will be a great complement to the new Campus Center.<\/p>\n<p>The renovation gave the Library the opportunity to consolidate three departments that make up our Resources Division into a single location on the third floor. Users in need of services such as interlibrary loan or document delivery, or with questions about donating items to the Library, books &quot;in process&quot; in the catalog, or with general questions about the Library&#8217;s collections should feel free to stop in as well. The relocated division is currently planning an Open House Celebration to show off its new digs, so keep an eye out.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-title\">\n<h3><a name=\"11\">&quot;A Watery World&quot; in the Weise Gallery<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\">\n<div class=\"article-text\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www2.hshsl.umaryland.edu\/newsletter\/images\/volume02_Number09\/11.jpg\" alt=\"&quot;A Watery World&quot;\" width=\"543\" height=\"363\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Through August 29, 2008, visit the Weise Gallery, located on the first  floor of the Library, to see the current photography exhibit capturing  underwater creatures and other nature scenes with the common theme of water.

We&#8217;re pleased to report that the response has been excellent so far.<\/p>\n<p>A link to the survey was sent to Department Chairs via email with the request that they send it on to their department faculty.
