During this month, floors one, two, and three are under construction.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www2.hshsl.umaryland.edu\/newsletter\/images\/volume02_Number04\/01a.jpg\" alt=\"Carpet is being removed and replaced\" width=\"543\" height=\"232\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Even as this article is being written, carpet is being removed and replaced, current journal shelving is being shifted, and the new reference desk is being built on the first floor (conveniently located near the elevators). The first floor renovations are scheduled for completion by the end of January 2008 after which users will again have access to comfortable seating, computer workstations, and tables for the quiet study and collaboration previously enjoyed. <\/p>\n<p>Over the course of the spring semester, new offices will be built on the second and third floors. This construction is also  underway. Library users will be happy to know that 40 plus study rooms and the beautiful public spaces that encourage study and research are being retained.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www2.hshsl.umaryland.edu\/newsletter\/images\/volume02_Number04\/01b.jpg\" alt=\"Construction in the Library\" width=\"543\" height=\"286\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Early in the semester, users will almost certainly find that the fourth and fifth floors are the best places to study quietly.

Tooey\" width=\"169\" height=\"218\" \/><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The day after Christmas, President Bush signed an omnibus spending bill that included a provision requiring the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) to mandate public access for NIH-funded research.  The language says:<\/p>\n<p>&quot;The Director of the National Institutes of Health shall require that all investigators funded by the NIH submit or have submitted for them to the National Library of Medicine&#8217;s PubMed Central an electronic version of their final, peer-reviewed manuscripts upon acceptance for publication to be made publicly available no later than 12 months after the official date of publication: Provided, That the NIH shall implement the public access policy in a manner consistent with copyright law.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>This is a huge step in the right direction. We have been following the intertwined issues  of public and open access for years as the landscape of scientific, technical and medical  (STM) publishing has  changed dramatically. This legislation  is important for a number of reasons.  First, it is the first public access mandate for a government funding  agency supported by Congress. Second, it  may set the stage for other government funding agencies to pursue similar  public access strategies for their funded research. Third, since the NIH is so big, a tremendous  amount of biomedical research findings will be freed up. One estimate is that NIH-funded research  results in 65,000 peer reviewed articles per year. And finally, although many would have  preferred articles to be publicly available in six months rather than 12, it  was felt that having a strong mandatory policy was more important.<\/p>\n<p>The National Library of Medicine has published  information regarding the details and procedures related to this policy. To review this information, please go to <a href=\"http:\/\/publicaccess.nih.gov\/policy.htm\" target=\"_blank\">NIH Public Access Policy  Details site<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Library staff will be monitoring developments in  this area and providing support for researchers to help navigate the submission  process.

Dr. Handwerger is a longtime friend of the Library and recently retired University of Maryland Rheumatologist\/Immunologist. This is his third Weise Gallery showing of unique digital photography. <\/p>\n<p>Photography has become a passion for Handwerger, who delights in the nuances he can achieve by modifying digital images. With an eye for unusual angles and composition, he focuses on diverse subjects that reflect his avid interests in world travel, nature, and architecture. This exhibit showcases these themes.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;I bought my first real camera, a single  lens reflex, in 1970 shortly after my first child arrived on the scene. With a  good camera, I grew excited about the creative aspects of photography. In my  own darkroom I spent whole evenings experimenting with image-enhancing  techniques. About six years ago, I purchased my first digital camera and I was  hooked!&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Co-founder of Digi-Docs, a local photography  group, Handwerger contributed to its Weise Gallery show in 2006.
