Library News
Richard McGowan, Research Librarian, and Jamie Graham, Emerging Technologies Librarian, hosted a half-day continuing education course for the New York–New Jersey Chapter of the Medical Library Association on September 20.
The course, entitled "Communicating with Physicians: For Librarians," was designed to help librarians understand the viewpoint of physicians during library transactions. Led by Bradley Long of SUNY Upstate Medical University and Dr. Peter Jucovy of the Philadelphia Veterans Affairs Medical Center, the course explored how to work with a variety of patrons by understanding their diverse information needs and communication styles.
The course was attended by librarians from Weill Cornell Medical College, Beth Israel Medical Center, Staten Island University Hospital, and NYU Langone Medical Center. NYUHSL looks forward to providing more educational opportunities for librarians in the future.

Because of electrical work in the Medical Science Building, parts of Ehrman Medical Library will lose network connectivity from 5pm to 8pm on Friday, September 17. Printing will not be available and some computers in the main reading room will not be able to connect to the Internet. Wireless network access may also be affected. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Hours of operation at all locations will be modified for the Labor Day holiday on Monday, September 6.
Ehrman Medical Library: The circulation desk will be open from 9am to 5pm. The library will close at 5pm and reopen at 8:30am on Tuesday, September 7.
Waldmann Dental Library: The circulation desk will be open from 9am to 5pm. Overnight, the library will be accessible by card swipe, as usual. The circulation desk will reopen at 8:30am on Tuesday, September 7.

In honor of students' return to campus, NYUHSL is offering a prize for whomever is mayor of the library on Foursquare at noon on Friday, October 15. Foursquare users can check in at Ehrman Medical Library, Bellevue Medical Library, Waldmann Dental Library, or HJD Herman Robbins Medical Library--the prizes are beverage gift cards to Argo Tea (Ehrman), Starbucks (Waldmann and HJD), or Au Bon Pain (Bellevue). Check in every time you visit the library to try to gain the mayorship by the deadline!
If you're not familiar with Foursquare, you can learn about this location-based social network and game on their website. It's easiest to use with a smartphone, but you can also play with a regular phone using text or on a computer by visiting their mobile site.
The fine print: Library staff are not eligible to win--that means you, Fritz! Though this contest is in honor of back-to-school, any NYU-affiliated library user is eligible, not just students. Note that Foursquare requires you to upload a photo to your account to be eligible for mayoralty.
Good luck, have fun, and may the best mayor win!
Construction of the new Student Study Space in the basement of the Ehrman Medical Library is nearing completion. The new study space is expected to open in October 2010 and will accommodate approximately 100 students at study carrels and tables. The facility will offer 24-hour access for students, with wireless internet access and student printing facilities.
Subscribe to the NYUHSL news feed or follow NYUHSL on Twitter for the latest updates on the construction project.
Because of ongoing construction and electrical work, Ehrman Medical Library will be closed on Saturday, August 28 from 7am to 8pm. NYUHSL's electronic resources will be available remotely as usual.
If you are looking for study space, you might use the Waldmann Dental Library in the VA building (423 East 23rd St., 2nd Floor South). VA security will require you to go through a medical detector and show your current NYU ID with 2010 sticker. Note that Waldmann has a different Wi-Fi and printing configuration from Ehrman.
A free, two-day series of hands-on workshops about NCBI tools will take place at the NYU Health Sciences Libraries on October 18 and 19. Each 2.5-hour workshop will emphasize a different set of NCBI tools. Areas of focus include sequences, genomes, and maps; proteins, domains and structures; BLAST; and human variation and disease genes. The series will be hosted by the National Network of Libraries of Medicine and led by a trainer from NCBI.
You may sign up for the entire series or for individual sessions. One-on-one consultations will also be available with the instructor. Please note, seating is very limited. Sign up or read more about the different workshop sessions.
A small exhibit presently on view in Ehrman Medical Library’s main reading room highlights the work of physicians who, while practicing medicine, pursued parallel careers as successful writers. It’s a mere sampler of the fine reading available in our special collections.
