I am excited to continue our record of excellence  and success into the fall with new programs and projects that will benefit our  library users.<\/p>\n    <p>One of the ongoing projects I am happy to provide updates on  is the HSHSL restroom renovation work. This project continues, with only the  Second and Third Floors remaining. The completed renovations have been well  received: we have already heard directly from students and employees how happy  they are with the new look. We hope to recognize the excellent work of our facilities  team with a ribbon cutting event before the end of the year. Look for  forthcoming announcements about this event.<\/p>\n    <p>You will also see new signage around the Library this fall.  From print to digital signs, the HSHSL is hoping to communicate news and events  with users in new and innovative ways. As part of the restroom update, the &ldquo;HSHSL  on the Go&rdquo; newsletter was also reformatted. The new, larger format &ldquo;HSHSL on  the Go&rdquo; will allow the HSHSL Communications Team to provide more information  about events, and even the opportunity for some guest columns in the future. The  HSHSL Communications Team is still working to find the best way to attach the  new &ldquo;HSHSL on the Go&rdquo; holders to the restroom stalls. You may see them fall  from time to time as we work to find the best adhesive. The digital screens  near the elevators are also now working. You will see directional information  on these screens as well as messages about specific events, services,  resources, and programs at the HSHSL. New double-sided signs were also deployed  around the Library over the summer. We will use these signs to promote HSHSL  services, resources, and events, and to provide updates about noise alerts or  construction, as needed.<\/p>\n    <p>After a successful inaugural year, I am excited to once  again welcome students to our HSHSL Student Advisory Board (SAB). I look forward  to meeting with the group later this fall and to hearing from them directly over  the course of the year. Two big areas we hope the SAB will provide direct  feedback on this year include space planning on the HSHSL First Floor and the  value of resource access.<\/p>\n    <p>I continue to work with the teams at the Network of the  National Library of Medicine (NLM), Region 1 and Network Web Service Office  (NWSO) to make informed decisions to ensure the continuity of services considering  changes at the federal level. We are able to offer funding for projects and  continue with engaging training sessions on vital health resources during Year  5 of the cooperative agreement (May 1, 2025 &#8211; Apr. 30, 2026). I continue to  monitor the situation with NLM funding and look forward to hearing directly  from Network members this year at the Mid-Atlantic Chapter of the Medical  Library Association (MAC\/MLA) meeting in Baltimore, where Region 1 will be  exhibiting.<\/p>\n\t<p style=\"margin-top: 25px;\">After just over a year and a half with the HSHSL, I continue to meet regularly with the staff and faculty librarians. With the support of the HSHSL Social Committee, we hosted a Summer Fest indoor carnival for all HSHSL employees. After updates were provided employees enjoyed teambuilding exercises and some fun and games to send off the summer. It was great to see so many people connecting and enjoying their time. Embracing the carnival theme, HSHSL Leadership team even posed for a group photo with our skeleton friend.<\/p>\n    <p style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www2.hshsl.umaryland.edu\/newsletter\/images\/volume19_Number04\/01-1.jpg\" alt=\"Meet Your Librarians!\" width=\"549\" height=\"334\" border=\"0\"><\/p>\n\t<div style=\"clear: both; width: 549px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;\">From left, Alexa Mayo, Emily Hurst, James Stephens, Faith Steele, Linda Wise, Steve Douglas<\/div>\n\t<p style=\"margin-top: 25px;\">A tradition carried forward from last year was the HSHSL employee night at the Orioles game. This year, we were happy to include Kristina Alayan, Associate Dean for Law and Technology at the Thurgood Marshall Law Library, with our group. Kristina and I continue to look for ways for our two libraries to engage with one another in both professional and social ways. While the O\u2019s didn\u2019t win the game, it was a nice night out and HSHSL employees and their guests enjoyed the game and time catching up. Some of us were even lucky enough to arrive early to receive a free cowboy hat at the gate!<\/p>\n    <p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www2.hshsl.umaryland.edu\/newsletter\/images\/volume19_Number04\/01-2.jpg\" alt=\"Meet Your Librarians!\" width=\"549\" height=\"314\" border=\"0\"><\/p>\n\t<p>Over the fall and winter, UMB will embark on the strategic  planning process, which this year will be heavily informed by resiliency  planning. At the recent UMB Leadership retreat, I participated in brainstorming  sessions about what the current environments in higher education, healthcare,  and federal and state budgets mean for the future of UMB and the HSHSL. While  there is a lot that we still must do to prepare for the uncertain future, I  feel that UMB and the HSHSL have the potential to embrace this uncertainty and  demonstrate resilience and innovation in the times to come. I look forward to  meeting with HSHSL employees and library users to better understand how the  HSHSL can support UMB&rsquo;s research, education, and community engagement efforts in  new ways. This valuable feedback will inform the HSHSL strategic plan.<\/p>\n    <p>Finally,  I would like to thank all our readers for their continued support. I have been  working closely with UMB to ensure that the HSHSL is represented in the  upcoming development campaign. I believe we have the capacity to better engage  with university alumni, community members, and others to develop exciting opportunities  that will inspire potential donors. With the support of senior program  specialist Anna-Marie Epps, I have been meeting regularly with UMB development  officers to chart a strategic path forward for the Library&rsquo;s development and  fundraising efforts.  <\/p>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"article-title\" style=\"margin-top: 20px;\">\n  <h3><a id=\"02\" name=\"02\"><\/a>Meet Your Librarians!<\/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\/volume19_Number04\/02.jpg\" alt=\"Meet Your Librarians!\" width=\"549\" height=\"442\" border=\"0\"><\/p>\n      <p>Need help with research, library resources, or data?

A prime example is their involvement in an  upcoming regional medical librarianship conference. The <a href=\"https:\/\/macmla.libguides.com\/mac2025\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2025 annual meeting<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/macmla.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mid-Atlantic Chapter of the Medical Library  Association (MAC-MLA)<\/a> is being held in Baltimore from Oct. 19-21 at the  Royal Sonesta Harbor Court Hotel. One of the HSHSL&rsquo;s research and education  librarians, Emily Gorman, is co-chairing the Annual Meeting Committee along  with a librarian from the Welch Medical Library at Johns Hopkins. A number of  other librarians have been involved in planning efforts as well. Thom Pinho, instructional  technology specialist, designed a playful logo based on the conference theme,  &ldquo;Spice Up the Library: Thinking Outside the Box.&rdquo; Amy Yarnell, head of Data  &amp; Bioinformation Services, and Shanell Stephens and Mary Ann Williams, both  Research and Education librarians, are serving on subcommittees of the Annual  Meeting Committee that have assisted with registration and highlighted local  food spots and attractions.<\/p>\n\t\t<p>In addition to the planning efforts, the HSHSL will be  well-represented in the conference&rsquo;s programming. Our librarians will be  presenting papers, posters, and lightning talks, as well as participating in a  pre-conference panel session. Faith Steele, executive director for the Region 1  Office of the Network of the National Library of Medicine (NNLM), will be  presenting an update on NNLM activities and initiatives. Although the NNLM  Region 1 office is based at the HSHSL, it also serves other states within the MAC-MLA  region.<\/p>\n\t\t<p>We are incredibly proud of all the work our  librarians are doing to help make this upcoming conference a success! <\/p>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"article-title\" style=\"margin-top: 20px;\">\n  <h3><a id=\"12\" name=\"12\"><\/a>Employee News<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\">\n  <div class=\"article-text\">\n  \t<h3><strong>Presentations &amp; Posters<\/strong><\/h3>\n\t\t<p><strong>Christine  Nieman Hislop, MSLIS,<\/strong> data services librarian, presented &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/zenodo.org\/records\/15601586\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bridging  Cross-Regional Data Instruction Needs: Collaborative Approaches to Data  Services Education<\/a>&rdquo; and the poster &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/zenodo.org\/records\/15540492\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">IASSIST at 50: Where Have We Been and Where Are We Going<\/a>&rdquo;  at the IASSIST 2025 conference held in Bristol, England, in June.<\/p>\n  \t<h3><strong>Retirement<\/strong><\/h3>\n\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www2.hshsl.umaryland.edu\/newsletter\/images\/volume19_Number04\/11.jpg\" alt=\"Patty Hinegardner\" width=\"140\" height=\"140\" border=\"0\" class=\"left\">\n\t\t<p><strong>Patty Hinegardner<\/strong> retired from the HSHSL in April, concluding a distinguished career that began  in December 1981 at what was then the Health Sciences Library.

Lucien Brun, DDS\" width=\"549\" height=\"708\" border=\"0\"><\/p>\n  <p>In January 1941, Clark Gable, the  popular Academy Award winning actor best known for his role as Rhett Butler in <em>Gone  with the Wind<\/em>, underwent tooth extraction surgery at Johns Hopkins  Hospital. His surgeon was Dr. B. [Bernard] Lucien Brun, Baltimore College of  Dental Surgery Class (BCDS) of 1905. The Baltimore College of Dental Surgery  merged with the University of Maryland&rsquo;s Dental Department in 1924, resulting  in today&rsquo;s School of Dentistry.<\/p>\n  <p>Gable and his wife, fellow actor Carole Lombard, had come to  Baltimore for medical checkups at Johns Hopkins Hospital, where they occupied  adjoining rooms during their stay. Dr. Brun and his colleague, Dr. Louis Hamman,  believed Gable&rsquo;s tooth had an infected root that was contributing to ongoing  shoulder pain. Hammon and Brun believed the decayed root sent an infection  through Gable&rsquo;s system, aggravating an old shoulder injury and causing additional  pain. The injury was sustained during the filming of <em>San Francisco <\/em>in  1936 when a prop wall collapsed on Gable.<\/p>\n  <span id=\"dots\"><p><strong>&#8230;<\/strong><\/p><\/span><span id=\"more\">\n  <p>Brun performed Gable\u2019s surgery under local anesthesia; it took 1.5 hours, after which the root of the tooth and a piece of the jaw were removed. In an interview with the Washington Post after the surgery, Gable denied losing the tooth claiming, \u201cI had a minor operation\u2014but the docs didn\u2019t take a tooth.\u201d Gable was not lying; the tooth had been removed on a previous dental visit. In the same interview, Gable claimed he felt \u201crotten\u201d after the surgery, which unfortunately did not resolve his ongoing shoulder pain as the doctors had hoped.<\/p>\n  <p>Following their stay at Johns Hopkins Hospital, Gable and Lombard visited the children\u2019s hospital and after leaving Baltimore sent the patients in that hospital a package containing 68 pounds of chocolate with a note, \u201cFor the children, from Carole and Clark.\u201d The couple completed their stay in Maryland with visits to the Naval Academy and to the Maryland State House in Annapolis, as guests of Governor and Mrs. Herbert R. O\u2019Conor.<\/p>\n  <p>The tooth extraction was one of many dental procedures Gable had undergone. A 1937 article in <em>The Hartford Courant<\/em> claimed Gable had weekly dental visits. In August 1942, <em>The Washington Post<\/em> reported that Gable had to once again have his teeth repaired before joining the US Army as an Army Air Force candidate.<\/p>\n  <p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www2.hshsl.umaryland.edu\/newsletter\/images\/volume19_Number04\/12-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"549\" height=\"635\" border=\"0\"><\/p>\n\t<p><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/jbcds-1946-55\/page\/n287\/mode\/2up\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dr. B.

He attended the BCDS, where he was known for his artistic talents, having his work heavily featured in the college\u2019s yearbook, <a href=\"https:\/\/maryland.dspace7.openrepository.com\/handle\/10713\/353\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>The Mirror<\/em><\/a>. After graduation in <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/mirror1905balt\/mode\/2up\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1905<\/a>, he opened a practice in the city and taught at his alma mater. After some time, Brun began postgraduate courses at St. Mary\u2019s Hospital and Trinity Hospital in Milwaukee and German Hospital in New York, focusing on oral diagnosis, exodontia, and oral surgery. In 1911, Brun returned to Baltimore and in 1912 joined the dental department at Johns Hopkins Hospital as head of the Division of Oral Surgery. Brun remained at the hospital until his retirement as chief of the Dental Department in 1950.<\/p>\n  <p>Dr. Brun was commissioned into the US Army in May 1917 as first lieutenant. He arrived in France as a member of the Johns Hopkins Base Hospital, Unit 18. During the war he oversaw 34,000 beds at the hospital and earned the rank of major. When he returned in 1919, he continued his work at Johns Hopkins and in his role as professor of oral surgery at BCDS. He again served in the military during World War II and was awarded the Congressional Selective Service Medal (1946).<\/p>\n  <\/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  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>IN THIS ISSUE:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Dean&#8217;s Message<\/li>\n<li>Meet Your Librarians!<\/li>\n<li>Tips for New Students<\/li>\n<li>Academic Video Online: Campus-Wide Streaming Access<\/li>\n<li>EBSCOhost Databases Get a New Look<\/li>\n<li>Botanical Marvels: The 2026 HSHSL Calendar<\/li>\n<li>Register for the Network of the National Library of Medicine (NNLM) Disaster Preparedness Forum<\/li>\n<li>The William and Dolores Kinnard Leisure Reading Endowment<\/li>\n<li>Fall Hours<\/li>\n<li>Perennial: Artists From the Goxxip Girl Collective<\/li>\n<li>HSHSL Librarians Involved in Local Medical Library Conference<\/li>\n<li>Employee News<\/li>\n<li>Dr. B.
