There are so many possibilities for new years around the university &#8211; new calendar years, new fiscal years &#8211; but nothing feels quite like the start of a new academic year.  The pace of the campus picks up, and the energy returns.  Here in the HS\/HSL, the phone rings more often, there are more people everywhere, and I can never find any of the Library liaisons because they are out in the schools working with faculty and staff.  We have some exciting new projects to be unveiled this year, including a presentation studio and the campus digital archive.  We are working on ideas for the 2011 Library symposium, and Frankenstein is coming!<\/p>\n<p>I suppose that a new year requires New Year&#8217;s  resolutions.\u00a0 So&#8230;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The staff of the Health Sciences and Human Services Library resolves to meet the health and human services information needs of our diverse constituents through the provision of services, resources, and products in the best format, when needed.<\/li>\n<li>We resolve to support discovery, learning, and service, as well as preserve the historical record of the Campus.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Hmmm, that sounds suspiciously like our Mission Statement.  Every year we recommit ourselves to this mission and this new year is no different.<\/p>\n<p>So, Happy New Year and  welcome, or welcome back!<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-title\">\n<h3><a name=\"02\" id=\"02\">Subject Guides<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\">\n<div class=\"article-text\">\n<p>The  HS\/HSL has created a variety of subject guides to assist you in using helpful  resources such as e-books, databases, and websites.

In an effort to help with this problem, the Congress of Academic Library Directors (CALD), an organization of academic libraries in Maryland, has instituted a shared distributed journal project.<\/p>\n<p>Under  this model, libraries identify complete runs of journal titles in their  collection, promise to maintain them, and provide rapid interlibrary loan to other  participating libraries.\u00a0 Other libraries  that own the journals are then free to discard journal backfiles to free space  in their stacks.<\/p>\n<p>While  the HS\/HSL has the space and is committed to maintaining all of its journal  collection in our building, we have contributed nineteen titles to the  collection as a service to other institutions in Maryland.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-title\">\n<h3><a name=\"10\" id=\"10\">Consider  Linking to HS\/HSL Resources in Blackboard<\/a><\/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\/volume04_Number08\/10.gif\" alt=\"Blackboard\" width=\"134\" height=\"79\" border=\"0\" class=\"right\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The HS\/HSL offers a variety of tutorials on our own <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/HSHSL\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube Channel<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hshsl.umaryland.edu\/resources\/guides.html\" target=\"_blank\">subject guides<\/a> on our website to help students navigate the complex world of research options.

September 15th was chosen as the starting point for the celebration because it is the anniversary of independence of five Latin American countries: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua.
