Library Director's Report - Welcome, Class of 2011!
By Evelyn B. Morgen, MSLS, AHIP
Director, Lyman Maynard Stowe Library
Welcome to a new academic year at the University of Connecticut Health Center! We look forward to meeting all incoming graduate, medical, and dental students – and welcoming back those who are returning. Here are some highlights of the student services we offer:
Academic Computing Support:
Ben Smith and Nancy Mainelli in the Computer Education Center (CEC) of the library are available to provide technical support to all students. They can help you find answers to any questions about your PDA, your laptop, or software. You’ll find them on the main floor of the library at the end of the hall to your right as you come in. We also added another printer to that area, and are implementing new software that should help reduce wasted paper.
Student Support Librarian Program:
A new student support librarian program for all students will begin this year. Every student will be introduced to one of the librarians here who can be the “go to” person for any questions you may have about library services or best sources of information. You’ll hear more about it during orientation.
Shafer Study Rooms:
These 24/7 shafer study rooms are still available whenever the library is closed. This summer we added a sound-masking system so you will be less distracted by noise from other students.
School of Medicine PDA Initiative
The School of Medicine is expanding the PDA program so that second year students will begin using them this year. They will be used for SCP in the fall, and in PBL during the CMPS section that begins after January. Recommended models are listed on the CEC web page. Here’s a link to the document: http://library.uchc.edu/departm/cec/files/pda2007.pdf We’ll offer orientation classes and overviews soon.
We hope to see you often! Please know that no question is considered too small or unimportant, so please “bother us” with questions whenever you have them!
