CATALOG HAS NEW LOOK

UNC-Chapel Hill Libraries have created a new way to search the libraries' catalog. The goal for the new catalog is to provide easier searching and browsing. Many features are what you commonly find on Internet search sites such as tabbed navigation, sorting, built-in spell correction, and "Did You Mean?"

The new catalog also aids in item selection by offering images of book covers, full tables of contents, and summary descriptions. Integration with Search TRLN allows you to expand your search to include materials from other Triangle research libraries. We would love to hear any comments or questions that you have about the new catalog.

NEW SERVICE: CAROLINA BLU (Brings the Library to YoU)

Carolina BLU (Brings the Library to YoU) is a new service that allows you to have a book available at another campus library brought to the Health Sciences Library for you to pick up. When you search the UNC-Chapel Hill Libraries' Catalog and find that the book you need is at another campus library, click on the title and then on the Request this Item button.

If you have an Interlibrary Loan account already, you can use the link "Returning Users-UNC Health Affairs." If you have never used ILL, or have forgotten your account login, select "First Time Users-UNC Health Affairs" to set up or reestablish your account, then return to the "Request this Item" page to place your request. We will let you know by email when the book is ready for pickup at the HSL (less than 4 business days).

PUBMED NOW INDEXING VIDEOS

PubMed is now indexing videos from The Journal of Visualized Experiments (JoVE). JoVE, an online, open-access journal publishes videos of experiments and protocols in the biological and life sciences and offers its video-articles to science bloggers to illustrate their posts.

PEOPLE

	HSL Says Farewell to Karen High Congratulations to Karen High, Cataloging Specialist, who retired on Sept 1, 2008 after 25 years of service at HSL. High's job duties in Resources Management Services included cataloging new acquisitions and gifts, planning and managing projects, and maintaining and enhancing catalog records. Her efforts directly supported use of the library collections by library staff, university patrons, and the general public throughout North Carolina and beyond. High served on the library's Collections Task Force during the building renovation and helped coordinate multiple moves of the collections out to remote storage locations and back. Her service during the renovation earned her the 2005 HSL Award of Excellence, and she went on to become one of five recipients of the 2005 Chancellor's Award. We will miss Karen High, and wish her well!
HSL Librarians Accepted into AHIP The HSL congratulates Fran Allegri, Head of User Services, and K.T. Vaughan, Pharmacy Librarian, who have been accepted into the Academy of Health Information Professionals (AHIP). The Academy of Health Information Professionals is a competitive, peer-reviewed professional development and career recognition program of the Medical Library Association (MLA). Academy admission is based on academic preparation, professional experience, and professional accomplishments.
	Welcome to NLM Fellow The HSL welcomes Emily Vardell, a National Library of Medicine (NLM) Associate Fellow, who began working at the library on September 2, 2008. The National Library of Medicine Associate Fellowship Program is a competitive one-year postgraduate training fellowship at the NLM in Bethesda, Maryland, with an optional second year program component. Vardell chose to visit UNC during the second year of her associate fellowship. The program is designed to provide a broad foundation in health sciences information services, and to prepare librarians for future leadership roles in health sciences libraries and in health services research.

HSL COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERS

	MS 150 Bike Tour The HSL is sponsoring a team of three staff members who will participate in the 20th Annual MS 150 Bike Tour to raise money for multiple sclerosis. They will join thousands of other cyclists on September 13 and 14, 2008, biking through rural Eastern North Carolina and ending in New Bern, NC. The HSL team participants are Mellanye Lackey (User Services), Mike London (IT Services), and Michael O'Connor (IT Services). To support the HSL team and to learn more about the MS 150 Bike Tour, go to: http://bikenct.nationalmssociety.org/site/PageServer?pagename=BIKE_NCT_homepage
Pictured: Mellanye Lackey and KT Vaughan	The 20 Hats Project: Knitting for Neonatal Units HSL Pharmacy Librarian, K.T. Vaughan, delivered 57 infant and child-sized hats to UNC Hospitals Volunteer Services the week before Labor Day. The hats were collected through the 20 Hats Project, a blog Vaughan started in honor of her father, former UNC Chief of Neonatology Dr. Edward Lawson (now at the Johns Hopkins University). In addition to Vaughan, knitters who contributed hats were HSL Public Health Librarian, Mellanye Lackey, the members of Durham String Thing, and knitters from Massachusetts, Ohio, and Florida. Hats have also been collected for the Johns Hopkins NICU. New crafters are welcome to join the 20 Hats Project. The next group of hats will be delivered to Duke University's neonatal nurseries. If you'd like to learn more about the project or donate your knitted hats, contact K.T. Vaughan at KT_Vaughan@unc.edu.
Pictured are Lesa McPherson, School of Public Health Coordinator and Teresa West, HSL co-coordinator	HSL Staff Donate School Supplies Kathy Fujiwara and Teresa West of the HSL Resources Management Services department coordinated a school supplies drive at the HSL for underprivileged NC school children in grades K-5. The "Give Back(Packs) to Your Community" program is sponsored by the State Employees Association of North Carolina (SEANC) District 25 (Chapel Hill and Carrboro) and endorsed by the Governor's One-on-One Volunteer Program. Seven backpacks and many school supplies were collected from HSL staff across all departments.
