Tooey<\/strong>, executive director<\/div>\n    <p>On  January 3, 2022, the HSHSL will implement changes in its masking and food  policies. When the HSHSL fully reopened in August 2021, we returned to our  former policies allowing food in the public areas of the Library. Even though  it is UMB policy to be masked while in university buildings, we have observed,  almost daily, users who stretch the liberal food policy for hours as a  rationale for not masking. As I write this column, COVID-19 cases are on the  rise, a new variant has emerged, and we have entered cold and flu season.<\/p>\n    <p><strong>Therefore, effective January 3, 2022:<\/strong><\/p>\n    <ul>\n      <li>Food will no longer be allowed on the open  public floors of the HSHSL.<\/li>\n      <li>Beverages are allowed and masks may be removed  for a &#8220;sip,&#8221; and then replaced.<\/li>\n      <li>Eating may take place in study rooms if there is  only one person in the study room. <\/li>\n      <li>If there is more than one person in the study  room, everyone must be masked and no food may be consumed.<\/li>\n      <li>Eating will be permitted in the Tower Caf\u00e9 (the  round room on the main floor, to the left of the entrance) following the same  guidelines as in the Campus Center &#8211; only two to a table, masks off for &#8220;active  eating.&#8221;<\/li>\n      <li>Those who fail to comply  with the masking guidelines may lose library privileges and be asked to leave  the building.<\/li>\n    <\/ul>\n    <p>Aside from the aforementioned rise in COVID-19, cold, and flu cases, we should keep  in mind that we&#8217;re not living in an immunity bubble in the HSHSL. Yes, there is  a high vaccination rate at UMB. One hundred percent of HSHSL staff are  vaccinated. Most of you are vaccinated. Yet some of the tenants in the building  may not be. Additionally, the HSHSL is open to the public, people from other  universities, the VA, and the UMMC\/UMMS. There is no way to know everyone&#8217;s  vaccination status. Masking keeps us safer &#8211; AND it is UMB policy.<\/p>\n    <p>I  sincerely hope someday this will all be behind us. In the meantime, let&#8217;s all  work together to keep everyone safe and well.<\/p>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"article-title\" style=\"margin-top: 20px;\">\n  <h3><a id=\"02\" name=\"02\"><\/a>Fourth Annual Flu Clinic a Success!<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\">\n  <div class=\"article-text\">\n    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www2.hshsl.umaryland.edu\/newsletter\/images\/volume16_Number01\/02-2.jpg\" alt=\"Flu Clinic\" title=\"Flu Clinic\" width=\"549\" height=\"300\" border=\"0\">\n\t<p>On  October 19, 2021, the HSHSL and the School of Pharmacy hosted their fourth  annual flu clinic.&nbsp; Over eight hours, 155  campus members were inoculated.

The calendar includes twelve images  from <em>The Botanical Magazine; or  Flower-Garden Displayed<\/em>, founded in 1787 by William Curtis. William Curtis  was a botanist and entomologist from Alton, Hampshire, England. The images were  illustrated by Syndenham Edwards and James Sowerby. <em>The Botanical Magazine<\/em> continues today as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kew.org\/science\/our-science\/publications-and-reports\/publications\/curtis-botanical-magazine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Curtis&#8217;s Botanical Magazine<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n\t<p>The calendar images represent traditional birth month  flowers, with a few exceptions when botanical drawings of the flower were  unavailable in Curtis&#8217;s work. Historically, birth month flowers were chosen for  each month according to their hardiness, bloom season, and symbolism. February&#8217;s  flower, for instance, is the Iris, which can bloom in early spring&#8217;s cool  temperatures. The Iris is associated with wisdom, hope, trust and valor; and  the purple variety (shown above) signifies royalty. The calendar provides  information about each month&#8217;s flower and describes its traditional medicinal  uses.<\/p>\n\t<p>The HSHSL Historical Collections houses several volumes  of <em>The Botanical Magazine<\/em> in the Pharmacy  Historical Collection. These volumes were donated to the Library in 1940 as  part of the estate of August Kach, Maryland College of Pharmacy class of 1882. The  donation included 700 volumes, many of which are still in the Library today. The  Pharmacy Historical Collection contains influential pharmacy and medical texts,  as well as dispensatories, pharmacopoeias, botanicals, and herbals from around  the world dating from the 17th century.<\/p>\n\t<p>The calendar features content written and provided by  Tara Wink, Historical Collections librarian and archivist, and graphic design  by Thom Pinho, lead instructional technology specialist.<\/p>\n\t<p>We&#8217;ll be sharing the calendar digitally in <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.hshsl.umaryland.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">our  archive<\/a> in January 2022, so keep an eye out for  announcements in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/elm.umaryland.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>The Elm<\/em><\/a>, and on the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www2.hshsl.umaryland.edu\/hslupdates\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>HSHSL Updates<\/em><\/a>&nbsp;blog and social media.
