STAT!Ref

 

Watching medical shows gives one enough of the lingo to realize STAT means in a hurry, quickly, right now. Our subscription to STAT!Ref provides our students with  immediate access to a  complete medical  reference library. The mobile app provides on-the-go information at their fingertips.

 

26 titles were selected from the collection. These are accessible through the catalog. Type in Stat!Ref to pull them up.

 

We do have a varied collection of medical resources to support our programs. Check us out. The health resources are just below the citations resources.

Changing view

The view  has changed from where I sit. In June, I noted the wooden wall was removed as the renovation of the Student Center was being completed. The Student Center is now finished. Students are gathering to study, chat, and eat.

Through the arch just outside the library, can be seen a green circle picture on the far wall. It reminds me of those Fair art projects where you drip paint on a spinning piece of paper. There's a happy feel to it. The windows are just barely visible, giving a hint of what the weather is like.

Henry Estes has done a series of exterior and interior shots of the renovated space. If you squint, you can just  see the Library edge through the opening to the lobby which is to the right of the brown weave rectangle.

Soon the library space will begin its transformation. My View will really be different!

A long summer

It's been awhile since I posted. The thought had been running through my head to just stop posting. Time slipped by and it was easier and easier to let the blog wither. Till this morning when a faculty member e-mailed how much they enjoyed the View from the Library. I was touched and inspired, so here I am, back again.

A friend on Facebook posted the link to Emily Asher-Perrins' blog on the 25th Anniversary of the movie, The Princess Bride.  25 years, time does speed by. It is the only movie I've seen twice in one day. My sons, now 38 and 35, were the impetus to see the movie. Immediately when it was over, I said, Daddy has to see this. We went home and got Dad,  to return to the movie theatre that very day to see it again. "As you wish".

World Cat offers a way to find out which library has the movie or William Goldman's book that inspired the movie. If you're not close to a computer but you have a smart phone, World Cat Mobile lets you check who has what and where, while you're on the go.

Inconceivable!
