Welcome!
Welcome to the 2011/12 academic year!! We want to extend a warm welcome to the incoming medical and graduate students, as well as recently hired faculty and staff. We invite you to stop in and take advantage of our expertise, extensive collections, updated space, and of course, just to say hello!
New this year…
The Harrell Health Sciences Library is establishing a new annual program, the Harrell HSL READ Poster Recognition Award, designed to recognize individuals who are and have been strong supporters of the Library. A committee of faculty and staff, both from within and outside the library, has been working together for the past several months to establish this program. We are very excited to be able to roll out this new program and recognize the inaugural group of honorees. The six individuals being recognized as the 2011/2012 Harrell HSL READ Poster Recognition Award recipients are: Dr. Harold Paz, Chief Executive Officer, Senior Vice President, and Dean; Dr. C. Max Lang, Emeritus Professor of Comparative Medicine; Tom Stapleton, Facilities Planning & Construction; Dr. Alphonse Leure-duPree, Emeritus Professor of Neural and Behavioral Sciences; Vicky Schirm, Nursing Administration; and Dr. Graham Jefferies, Gastroenterology and Founding Chair, Dept. of Medicine.
Each honoree will choose his or her favorite book, write a couple sentences about why this book has meaning, and have a photograph taken in a location of their choosing to be used to print a READ Poster for display in the library. The posters will remain on display in the library for the next 12 months, at which time the Harrell HSL will give the posters to each honoree as a memento. Posters will also be available on the library website with information about each person and the quote about why the book has meaning. The online exhibit will remain on the library website indefinitely, with the new honorees added each year. The Harrell HSL will be hosting a small reception on November 14, 2011 at 4 PM in the library to unveil the posters and recognize the 6 individuals being honored. Please join us in congratulating the honorees.
