Within the next few weeks, staff will be introducing a fax service at the Circulation Desk. We will also be extending evening hours during study week, May 2nd to May 18th (more details follow below on these two new services), and prompted by a suggestion made by students in the Dental School, we are aiming to extend our Saturday hours. In mid-February look for an announcement about the Library&#8217;s new presentation practice studio. This new space will allow any member of the campus community to capture a presentation in a sound proof studio and play back the audio and video.<\/p>\n<p>As staff continues to design new services and make changes to the library, we are eager to hear from all of you. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hshsl.umaryland.edu\/suggest\/\" target=\"_blank\">Please feel free to share your ideas!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Welcome, Spring 2011!<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-title\">\n<h3><a name=\"02\" id=\"02\">Fax Service at the Library<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\">\n<div class=\"article-text\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www2.hshsl.umaryland.edu\/newsletter\/images\/volume04_Number10\/02.jpg\" alt=\"fax\" class=\"right\" width=\"188\" height=\"146\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Beginning February 1, 2011, the UMB community can send and receive faxes at the HS\/HSL Circulation Desk.

Of the eight institutions participating from around the globe, six demonstrated a greater than one-to-one (1:1) return in grant funding, with results ranging from 15.54:1 to 0.64:1. Equally significant is the result that two institutions showed a significant positive correlation between an increase in library investment over time and an increase in grant funding to the university.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Carol Tenopir, Director of the Center for Information and Communication Studies at the University of Tennessee, who led a team of investigators over a 16-month period stated, &#8220;our research shows that the collections and services of all university libraries help faculty write better grant proposals and articles and help them do better research.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The results of the study are listed in the Elsevier Library Connect  White Paper, <a href=\"http:\/\/libraryconnect.elsevier.com\/whitepapers\/roi2\/lcwp021001.html\" target=\"_blank\">University Investment in the Library: Part II<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Please consider including the HS\/HSL when  planning and writing your grant.
