We pride  ourselves on being there for our communities during times of crisis. We know we  are often seen as safe havens. At the HS\/HSL, we know our physical space is  beloved by our community; however, in this time of COVID-19, we know we have a  critical role to play in slowing the spread of the disease by helping to  &ldquo;flatten the curve.&rdquo; Two of the most effective ways to slow down the spread of  the disease are &ldquo;social distancing&rdquo; and disinfecting \u2013 personally and in the  workspace. We could not guarantee or enforce the required social distancing,  nor could we ensure the proper cleanliness or disinfecting of our public  spaces, our study rooms, restrooms, or public computers. Our excellent team  here at the HS\/HSL deserves to be protected as well, as do their families and  communities where they live. Contrary to popular opinion, our library family  does not live at the Library. Therefore, we have worked diligently to make sure  our resources and the majority of our services are available virtually. Please  visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hshsl.umaryland.edu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">our website<\/a> and click on the  COVID-19 banner to see the wide variety of services and resources we have  available. Test us. Make sure we are providing the support we promise. And <a href=\"mailto:hshsl.umaryland.edu\">give  us feedback<\/a> \u2013 positive AND constructive.<\/p>\n    <p>We look forward to welcoming you back to the  building when this is all over.

Lately, I have  been weary, not of the topic of diversity, equity, and inclusion, but with the  constant focus without solutions. I learned from PYM2B (that&rsquo;s how we  abbreviated it) that it all starts with individual work and self-awareness and  introspection. We are all works in progress. However, without our own personal  commitment, we cannot hope to institutionalize this important work. Eminently readable, the  book provides excellent examples of how people grow from believers to builders;  and that diversity is the gateway, with inclusion being the pathway. Very thought-provoking for this work in  progress.<\/p>\n    <p><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org\/2020\/02\/18\/reforming-research-assessment-a-tough-nut-to-crack\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Reforming Research  Assessment: A Tough Nut to Crack<\/a><\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org\/2020\/02\/18\/reforming-research-assessment-a-tough-nut-to-crack\/\"> by Alison Mudditt<\/a><\/strong><br>\n    For  decades, the research community has relied on the Journal Impact Factor (JIF)  as the publication standard for academic excellence. Over the past decade, this  has eroded somewhat through the introduction of altmetrics and article-level  impact. About a month ago, the <a href=\"https:\/\/cos.io\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Center for Open Science (COS)<\/a> released the <a href=\"https:\/\/cos.io\/top\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Transparency and Openness  Promotion (TOP) Factor<\/a>, a  methodology relying on eight modular standards for assessing journal quality.  There are a number of high profile signatories and supporters. Will it have a  major impact? Hard to tell. However, it is an interesting read for any  potential authors.<\/p>\n    <p><strong><em>2<a href=\"https:\/\/library.educause.edu\/-\/media\/files\/library\/2020\/3\/2020horizonreport.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">020 EDUCAUSE Horizon  Report: Teaching and Learning Edition<\/a><\/em><\/strong><br>\n    For  years, I have read and enjoyed the <em>Horizon  Report<\/em> because it looks at trends and impacts at the intersection of  education and technology. While UMB is not a four-year educational institution,  the trends affecting how we teach and learn are universal. Social forces, such  as demographic changes. Technological forces, such as AI. Economic forces, like  climate change. The impact of online education on higher ed, and political  trends, such as decreases in higher education funding &#8212; all of these topics  are discussed thoroughly and thoughtfully.

This means that researchers who want a copy of an article that was published  before electronic publishing began have to find it in the library stacks or  request it through document delivery or interlibrary loan.<\/p>\n    <p>Most  publishers, however, have digitized earlier volumes of their journals and make  these &ldquo;backfiles&rdquo; available for a one-time purchase. These journal backfiles  provide easy access to older literature both on- and off-campus through the  Library&rsquo;s webpage and search tools such as OneSearch, PubMed, Scopus, and CINHAL.<\/p>\n    <p>The  Library was given special funding to support the acquisition of journal  backfiles. This year we will purchase the LWW Total Access Archive (about 280  titles), the SAGE Journals Clinical Medicine backfile (about 120 titles), the <em>Journal  of the American Dental Association<\/em> 1913-1994, and three neuroscience titles  from ScienceDirect. Over the next few years, we hope to add other backfile  collections to make this important older literature easily accessible.<\/p>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-title\">\n  <h3><a id=\"04\" name=\"04\"><\/a>Library Genie 2019 Survey Results<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\">\n  <div class=\"article-text\">\n    <p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Library Genie 2019 Survey Results\" src=\"http:\/\/www2.hshsl.umaryland.edu\/newsletter\/images\/volume14_Number02\/03.jpg\" alt=\"Library Genie 2019 Survey Results\" width=\"549\" height=\"162\" border=\"0\"><\/p>\n    <p>During the month of November, the Library Genie asked for your top three library wishes.

In an effort to provide better access to these unique collections, finding aids are now available through the Digital Archive.<\/p>\n\t<p>But  what is a finding aid? The Society of American Archivists <a href=\"https:\/\/www2.archivists.org\/glossary\/terms\/f\/finding-aid\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Glossary<\/a> of  Archival and Records Terminology defines a finding aid as follows:<\/p>\n\t<blockquote>\n\t  <em>&ldquo;noun<\/em> 1.  A tool that facilitates discovery of information within a collection of  records. &#8211; 2. A description of records that gives the repository physical and  intellectual control over the materials and that assists users to gain access  to and understand the materials.&rdquo;\n\t<\/blockquote>\n\t<p>In  other words, a finding aid is something that helps researchers understand what  a collection contains, how it can be used, and its provenance.\u00a0 Archives and special collections departments use  finding aids to share what is held in the collection.\u00a0 Finding aids are the archival equivalent of a  library catalog book record.<\/p>\n\t<p>To  date, there are twelve finding aids available in the digital archive, with  topics ranging from medical and dental history to Library and University  history, as well as local Maryland history. The Finding Aids include the <a href=\"http:\/\/hdl.handle.net\/10713\/11453\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dr. James Carroll, Yellow Fever  Commission Letters<\/a>, which follow Dr. Carroll&rsquo;s time in Cuba as a researcher  on the cause of Yellow Fever.
