The HSHSL is much greater than its building. We quickly moved to online  services, remote learning, distance consultations, and we continued to build our  infrastructure, growing the <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.hshsl.umaryland.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">UMB Digital Archive<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/datacatalog.hshsl.umaryland.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">UMB Data  Catalog<\/a>.  We introduced new services, such as contactless pickup, a website refresh, and  a building headcount system. We applied for and were awarded Region 1 of the  Network of the National Library of Medicine, and also the Network Web Services  Office. The regional office is a distinction we have held for over 35 years.  (See the <a href=\"#09\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">Regional Medical Library article<\/a> below for more information.) Our Historical Collections  were used by researchers far and wide &#8230; digitally. We launched our <a href=\"https:\/\/www2.hshsl.umaryland.edu\/cdabs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Center for Data and Bioinformation Services<\/a> (CDABS) \u2013 a  hub for data and bioinformation learning, services, resources, and  communication. In April, we launched <a href=\"https:\/\/www2.hshsl.umaryland.edu\/newsletter\/#05\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Citizen Science: Gearing Up for  Discovery<\/a>,  a MOOC aimed at building a citizen science community.

This accomplishment marks over 35 years of service to the region&rsquo;s  health information community, an achievement made even more monumental by a  Network reorganization that put the HSHSL into competition with two impressive institutions.<\/p>\n    <p>While the reorganization brought change and challenge, this  2021 realignment is just the latest for the NNLM \u2013 a program that, in its more  than 50 years of operation, has constantly shifted to reflect changes in the  information landscape. Today&rsquo;s Network has its roots in the 1965 Medical  Library Assistance Act (MLAA). After World War II, as funding for medical  school libraries failed to keep pace with funding for medical research and  education, the National Library of Medicine (NLM) took interest in awarding  grants to improve the provision of biomedical information. The NLM&rsquo;s Board of  Regents contracted Harold Bloomquist, assistant librarian of Harvard University  School of Medicine and Public Health, to conduct a study on the state of US  medical school libraries. The study revealed the inadequacy of the libraries and  proposed a regional resource library model to fill the gaps. The regional  resource library would &ldquo;[bear] the responsibility for collecting materials in  depth&rdquo; and &ldquo;make its resources and services available to a broad geographic  area. &ldquo;<\/p>\n    <p>With funding from the MLAA, eleven original regions were  born out of existing relationships and collaborations between medical  libraries.<\/p>\n    <span id=\"dots\"><p><strong>&#8230;<\/strong><\/p><\/span><span id=\"more\">\n    <p>Free  and subsidized interlibrary loans were initially the Regional Medical  Libraries&rsquo; most popular and best-used service. The RMLs also coordinated  Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System (MEDLARS) searches, provided  back-up reference services, and offered training and consulting to hospital  administrators. When MEDLARS went online in 1971 (as MEDLINE), training and  outreach efforts accelerated, and between 1964 and 1983, the number of  locations from which health professionals could request computerized literature  searches grew from three to over 4,000. <\/p>\n    <p>In 1982, the regions reconfigured, shifting from eleven to  seven, and the University of Maryland, Baltimore, began its tenure as the  Regional Medical Library of the Southeastern Atlantic Region. In the late  1980s, the Network began to prioritize outreach to health professionals in  underserved areas, and in 1990, a new name, the National Network of Libraries  of Medicine signified a new, unified approach. In the late 1990s, the Network  focused on supporting internet usage among member libraries. In 1998 the NLM  launched MedlinePlus, its flagship consumer health information site. And, as  connectivity increased in the early 2000s, the Network&rsquo;s mission expanded to  include a focus on public access to high-quality health information. When Hurricane  Katrina and the September 11 terrorist attacks heightened concerns about information  provision during emergencies and natural disasters, the RMLs responded by  adding disaster information planning to their training and outreach priorities.  In the last five years, the Network has increased efforts to prepare librarians  for the data-driven research landscape.<\/p>\n    <p>In 2020, the program&rsquo;s name changed to the  Network of the National Library of Medicine. The subtle change acknowledges the  important work of community organizations in improving health literacy and  disseminating culturally relevant health information. Now, with a renewed focus  on health equity, community collaboration, and social justice, we are proud of  UMB&rsquo;s contributions to this program and excited for all of the opportunities to  come.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/span>\n    <button onclick=\"myFunction()\" id=\"myBtn\" style=\"padding:8px;\">Continue Reading<\/button><p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n    <script language=\"javascript\">\n      function myFunction() {\n      var dots = document.getElementById(\"dots\");\n      var moreText = document.getElementById(\"more\");\n      var btnText = document.getElementById(\"myBtn\");\n\n      if (dots.style.display === \"none\") {\n        dots.style.display = \"inline\";\n        btnText.innerHTML = \"Continue Reading\";\n        moreText.style.display = \"none\";\n      } else {\n        dots.style.display = \"none\";\n        btnText.innerHTML = \"Collapse\";\n        moreText.style.display = \"inline\";\n      }\n    }<\/script>\n      \n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-title\">\n  <h3><a id=\"10\" name=\"10\"><\/a>Transcribing the Civil War: Introducing the Historical Collection\u2019s Summer Intern Yasmeen Yarborough<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\">\n  <div class=\"article-text\">\n\t<div class=\"alpha-shadow\" style=\"margin: 0 0 0 14px !important; float: right;\">\n      <div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www2.hshsl.umaryland.edu\/newsletter\/images\/volume15_Number04\/10.jpg\" alt=\"Yasmeen Yarborough\" width=\"170\" height=\"170\"><\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div style=\"clear: both; float: right; margin: 0 0 15px 15px; width: 180px; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px; text-align: right; padding-right: 8px;\"><strong>Yasmeen Yarborough<\/strong><\/div>\n    <p>This summer, the Historical Collections Department hosted high-school  student Yasmeen Yarborough as a virtual intern.

Dr. Ward reached out to the Library in  the hopes of finding a project that would allow Yasmeen to gain valuable  professional experience. <\/p>\n    <p>Given a list of projects to choose from, Yasmeen decided to  work with the newly digitized <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.hshsl.umaryland.edu\/handle\/10713\/16377\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Civil War letters<\/a> of Dr. Eugene F. Cordell (UMSOM Class of 1868) and his family. The letters,  dating from 1860 to 1865, address life as a Confederate Army soldier and  prisoner of war during the American Civil War. The goal of the project is to  make these materials easily searchable and accessible through the <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.hshsl.umaryland.edu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">UMB Digital Archive<\/a>. Throughout  this process, Yasmeen has enjoyed reading the letters and relating to the  family. She finds the dramatic tone of Cordell&rsquo;s letters to his mother moving, entertaining,  and at times humorous. <\/p>\n    <span id=\"dots2\"><p><strong>&#8230;<\/strong><\/p><\/span><span id=\"more2\">\n    <p>Dr. Cordell was born June 24, 1843, the final child of Dr. Levi O&rsquo;Connor (UMSOM  Class of 1825) and Christine Turner Cordell in Charles Town, Virginia (now West  Virginia). The Civil War letters document Dr. Eugene Cordell&rsquo;s education at  Episcopal High School in Alexandria, Virginia, before he convinced his father  to allow him to join the Confederate Army. After July 1861, the letters  document Eugene&rsquo;s service with General Henry A. Wise&rsquo;s unit. Most of Cordell&rsquo;s  letters document camp life and the news he received about the war.<\/p>\n    <p>Dr. Eugene Cordell was wounded during a battle in 1864. He  returned to his unit before his wounds \u2013one in his leg, one in his abdomen, one  in his thigh \u2013 completely healed, which led to further complications and a hospital  stay. Cordell was captured by Union forces in 1864 and held in Camp Chase, OH,  before escaping. He was captured for a second time in March 1865 and held at  Fort Delaware, DE, until his release at the war&rsquo;s end in June 1865. Letters  from his time in both prisoner of war camps are part of the collection.<\/p>\n    <p>In addition to the Civil War letters of Dr. Eugene F.  Cordell, there is a wartime diary of George Edwards Cordell, born October 8,  1838, the fourth child to Dr. Levi O&rsquo;Connor and Christine Turner Cordell.  George enlisted as a private with Mosby&rsquo;s Twelfth Cavalry in the Confederate  Army in 1864 and was later captured by the Union Army and held prisoner at Camp  Chase, OH.<\/p>\n    <p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/hdl.handle.net\/10713\/13950\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Turner Cordell  Papers<\/a> were added to the UMB Digital Archive 2019 and 2020. In addition to  Civil War correspondence, the collection includes papers and letters documenting  the lives of two wealthy, connected Southern families. Most of the collection  relates to Dr. Eugene F. Cordell and his mother Christine Turner Cordell.<\/p>\n    <p>Yasmeen hopes to complete transcription of the  Civil War letters during her internship, which will continue through the fall  semester. In addition to basketball, Yasmeen plays volleyball and throws shot  put and discus in track. After graduating next year, Yasmeen plans to go to  college, where she hopes to major in engineering. She is the first high school intern  in the Historical Collections department and is a wonderful addition! <\/p>\n      \n\t<\/span>\n    <button onclick=\"myFunction2()\" id=\"myBtn2\" style=\"padding:8px;\">Continue Reading<\/button><p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n    <script language=\"javascript\">\n      function myFunction2() {\n      var dots = document.getElementById(\"dots2\");\n      var moreText = document.getElementById(\"more2\");\n      var btnText = document.getElementById(\"myBtn2\");\n\n      if (dots.style.display === \"none\") {\n        dots.style.display = \"inline\";\n        btnText.innerHTML = \"Continue Reading\";\n        moreText.style.display = \"none\";\n      } else {\n        dots.style.display = \"none\";\n        btnText.innerHTML = \"Collapse\";\n        moreText.style.display = \"inline\";\n      }\n    }<\/script>\n      \n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-title\">\n  <h3><a id=\"11\" name=\"11\"><\/a>Staff News<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\">\n  <div class=\"article-text\">\n    <h3><strong>Posters &amp; Presentations<\/strong><\/h3>\n    <p><strong>Vickie Campbell<\/strong> and <strong>Na Lin, MLS<\/strong>, presented  a poster &ldquo;Resource Sharing During the Time of COVID: Challenges and Solutions&rdquo;  at the Towson Conference for Academic Libraries on July 28.<\/p>\n    <p><strong>Brian Zelip, MSLIS, MA,<\/strong> presented as a panelist on &ldquo;Developing Communities of Practice From  MIRA&rdquo; at the annual Makerspaces for Innovation and Research in Academics  (MIRA) conference in July. <\/p>\n    <h3><strong>Honors &amp; Awards<\/strong><\/h3>\n    <p><strong>Emily Gorman, MLIS, <\/strong>was selected as chair-elect to the American  Association of Colleges of Pharmacy Library Section <\/p>\n    <p><strong>Tony Nguyen, MLIS<\/strong>, has been selected as a Fellow in  the 21-22 NLM\/AAHSL Leadership cohort.&nbsp;The Program prepares emerging  leaders for director positions in academic health sciences libraries through a  year-long mentoring relationship with a director of another library and a  curriculum focused on developing leadership knowledge critical to enhancing the  value of libraries in their institutions.
