Here's an excellent overview of what to expect when you visit an archive. The process involved is common with any collection, no matter the topic. At the hospital we host the POSNA Archive, which is gaining an online presence at POSNA's website under History. Through the dedicated work of hospital staff and POSNA Historical Committee members, the historical video collection posted there is growing.

What is OpenAthens?
OpenAthens is the service we use for "remote access" - when you are away from the main campus you can still reach many of our electronic journals and books. This is a great little video that explains just what the service does. For more information or to request an account contact the library.

Fair Use Week 2018!
It’s Fair Use Week 2018! Fair Use balances the rights of a copyright holder with
the rights of the public to enjoy and make use of copyrighted materials to
promote science, research and the arts – and the rights of libraries to provide
information. The National Library of Medicine offers an excellent overview.
“Section 107 of
the US Copyright Act provides the details of fair use, but the University of
Virginia Library nicely summed it up in only
seven words: ‘Use fairly. Not too much. Have reasons.’ ”

DeBakey and the Education of American Surgeons
"Michael DeBakey came to Houston in 1948 as the new chairman of the
Department of Surgery at Baylor College of Medicine." This brief but interesting
overview by Dr. Justin Barr in NLM's Circulating Now describes "the state
of American surgery in the 1940s and 1950s. In the early 20th century, most
surgeons trained by a combination of apprenticeship and post-graduate
courses. This model worked well enough
when operations were rare and relatively simple" but as medicine grew more
complex, changes were needed. DeBakey began to push residency programs and
board certification to improve the training level of Houston surgeons.
Contributor Dr. Barr was a Michael E. DeBakey Fellow in the History of Medicine at the National Library of Medicine in 2017.
