Fall brings new students to campus, and I  look forward to having many of them visit the Library or use our great  resources online. I had the pleasure of meeting some of these students during  the new centralized orientation offered by the Office of Student Affairs this  year. Students were able to learn about the Library as well as meet librarians  and staff during these events. We want to make sure every student can engage  with the Library and find support in some way. As a means of informing us about  the future of the Library, this year I am excited to announce that we are  launching the Health Sciences and Human Services Library (HSHSL) Student  Advisory Board (SAB). This group, made up of at least two students from each of  the seven campus schools, will be instrumental in providing feedback about  library services, spaces and resources, as well as helping spread the word  about the Library through their peer networks. We hope the advisory board will  create a channel for communication between library leaders and students for  years to come. More information about the inaugural HSHSL SAB is provided <a href=\"#02\">below<\/a> by Assistant Dean  for Research and Information Services, Alexa Mayo, MLIS, AHIP, who will be  serving as an advisor for the HSHSL SAB. <\/p>\n    <a href=\"http:\/\/www2.hshsl.umaryland.edu\/newsletter\/images\/volume18_Number04\/03-0b.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www2.hshsl.umaryland.edu\/newsletter\/images\/volume18_Number04\/03-0.jpg\" width=\"98\" height=\"98\" alt=\"Library Furniture\" class=\"right\"><\/a>\n\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www2.hshsl.umaryland.edu\/newsletter\/images\/volume18_Number04\/03-1b.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www2.hshsl.umaryland.edu\/newsletter\/images\/volume18_Number04\/03-1.jpg\" width=\"98\" height=\"98\" alt=\"Library Furniture\" class=\"right\"><\/a>\n\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www2.hshsl.umaryland.edu\/newsletter\/images\/volume18_Number04\/03-2b.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www2.hshsl.umaryland.edu\/newsletter\/images\/volume18_Number04\/03-2.jpg\" width=\"98\" height=\"98\" alt=\"Library Furniture\" class=\"right\"><\/a>\n\t<p>Small changes continue to take  place around the Library. Be on the lookout for new furniture on the 3rd  floor that will provide more mobile options for study with rolling tables. New,  larger whiteboards will soon be installed in all study rooms. New signage  around the Library will help with wayfinding. To increase comfort and reduce  cooling costs in library employee areas, projects are underway to install  reflective window tinting and updated blinds. I am also pleased to announce a  collaboration with the Office of Student Affairs to provide a temporary <a href=\"#09\">faith and religious practice space<\/a> in the Library while the space at the Student Center is  impacted by renovations. Room 302, located near the GRID, has been updated to  provide space for students, faculty and staff to engage in religious practice.<\/p>\n    <p>As we move ahead, I also wanted to  reiterate my commitment to the vision for UMB Campus Vibrancy that UMB  president Bruce E. Jarrell, MD, FACS, encourages. We have a beautiful building  located in an active part of campus. It is my mission to ensure that we offer  programs and spaces that welcome users into the physical library, while also  ensuring that those who need online access have the tools to participate fully  in events or programs. I am working with Assistant Dean for Computer and  Technology Services, James Stephens, MEd, MLS, to ensure that all library  managed meeting spaces provide support for hybrid and accessible events and  meetings.<\/p>\n    <p>In employee news, I am pleased to share that after a national search <a href=\"#11\">Faith N. Steele,  MLS, MIM<\/a>, accepted the position of  Executive Director, Network of the National Library of Medicine, Region 1 and <a href=\"#11\">Amy Yarnell, MLS<\/a>, was  promoted to head the department of Data and Bioinformation Services. Both positions are vital to the success of HSHSL programs and their  leadership will better serve our campus and Region 1 communities.<\/p>\n    <a href=\"http:\/\/www2.hshsl.umaryland.edu\/newsletter\/images\/volume18_Number04\/01-3b.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www2.hshsl.umaryland.edu\/newsletter\/images\/volume18_Number04\/01-3.jpg\" width=\"98\" height=\"98\" alt=\"Library employees and their families at Camden Yards for an Orioles game\" class=\"right\"><\/a>\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;\">Photo by Emily Hurst<\/div>\n\t<p>In other employee news, it was my pleasure to host library  employees and their families at Camden Yards for an Orioles game on Friday,  Aug. 23. Fifteen employees came out to enjoy a great night with wonderful  weather, camaraderie, and a game that included a bobble head giveaway and a  grand slam! It was a great opportunity to have fun outside of the Library. I  hope to make this a tradition and increase our attendance in the future.<\/p>\n    <p>Lastly, be on the lookout for a future  announcement about the upcoming HSHSL Historical Collections calendar. This  year&rsquo;s theme helped me learn more about medicinal plants native to Maryland.  Calendars will be on sale before the end of the year.  <\/p>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"article-title\" style=\"margin-top: 20px;\">\n  <h3><a id=\"02\" name=\"02\"><\/a>Student Advisory Board<\/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\/volume18_Number04\/02.jpg\" alt=\"HSHSL Student  Advisory Board\" width=\"549\" height=\"207\" border=\"0\"><\/p>\n    <p>The new HSHSL Student Advisory Board launches in Fall 2024.

The Youthworks  Program is run by the Baltimore City Mayor&#8217;s Office with UMB being a supporting  host for the students aged 14 to 21. The goal is to provide Baltimore youth  with valuable job experience within the city. This summer Anisah worked with  Tara Wink, Historical Collections librarian and Sarah Weirich, Resource Development  librarian. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n  \t<p>For Historical Collections, Anisah helped to prepare the  2025 HSHSL Calendar, identifying botanicals for this year&#8217;s theme and providing  helpful research about the plants. Anisah completed an inventory of the medical  course catalogs in the collection, making it easier to identify missing years  for future acquisition and digitization purposes. Anisah also digitized several  volumes, making the materials more accessible, and helped plan a future  exhibit. <\/p>\n  \t<p>For Resource Development, Anisah worked diligently to update  the Howard Dubowitz collection in the UMB Digital Archive. Dr. Howard Dubowitz,  a professor of Pediatrics, heads the Division of Child Protection and directs  of the Center for Families at the University of Maryland, Baltimore School of  Medicine. His collection in the UMB Digital Archive links out to his prolific  publications on child neglect prevention. Using Dr. Dubowitz&#8217;s current CV,  Anisah ensured that the collection accurately represents his published works by  identifying duplicate records and adding missing publications.<\/p>\n  \t<p>This summer marked the final year of Youthworks  Program eligibility for Anisah, who is now a senior at the University of  Maryland Baltimore County. In the three summers she worked at the HSHSL, Anisah  completed several projects that have improved access to library materials.\u00a0It has been an honor to work with her, and  the HSHSL wishes her the very best! <\/p>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"article-title\" style=\"margin-top: 20px;\">\n  <h3><a id=\"12\" name=\"12\"><\/a>Staff News<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\">\n  <div class=\"article-text\">\n  \t<h3 style=\"margin-top: 0;\">Promotions<\/h3>\n    <!--<a href=\"http:\/\/www2.hshsl.umaryland.edu\/newsletter\/images\/volume18_Number04\/12-1b.jpg\">--><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www2.hshsl.umaryland.edu\/newsletter\/images\/volume18_Number04\/12-1.jpg\" width=\"98\" height=\"98\" alt=\"Faith Steele,  MLS, MIM, AHIP\" class=\"left\"><!--<\/a>-->\n\t<p><strong>Faith Steele,  MLS, MIM, AHIP,<\/strong> has been selected as the executive director of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nnlm.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">National Network of the Library of Medicine<\/a> (NNLM), Region 1,  effective Aug. 26, 2024.
