HELP HSL EVALUATE NEW PRODUCTS

The HSL website has a new page listing electronic products that are being evaluated for purchase. The information on this page changes frequently, and the link can be found in the "News" area of the website. Trial access is usually available for 30 to 60 days and your feedback on these new products is very important to help us offer the information you need for research, study and clinical practice. Please check the Evaluate New Products page regularly and review items that are in your field. Brief descriptions and trial ending dates are listed for each product.

The following items are currently included on the New Products page:

Future Drugs	Trial ends January 22, 2007
Future Medicine	Trial ends January 22, 2007

SHHH…

Have you heard about our quiet zone? Many of you have asked for a dedicated quiet space in the library. Beginning in January, the 4th floor will be designated as our official "quiet zone." Keeping cell phone ringers off, conversations (in low voices) in study rooms only and headphones turned down will help create an environment where everyone can study more effectively. Encourage your peers to be mindful of these guidelines or get help from library staff if needed. Happy studying!
