From the Director — New Beginnings

Welcome to many of you and happy returns toothers! I hope your summer was delightful andreinvigorating!!! Here at the Spencer S. EcclesHealth Sciences Library we did anything but relax!We are ready for the new academic year and aredelighted to be working so closely with many ofyou on the various key missions of our healthsciences campus! So what have we been up toover the summer? Glad you asked!!

Renovations We are progressing with wrapping up the ceilingproject and truly hope to have the collection ofjournals and books open to you soon! Our designfor additional construction work on the upper and

lower levels of the library is being bid and we should have a contractorsoon. Once they install temporary walls in the lower level (for safetyreasons) we will be able to let you once again handle our print materials. Itis interesting to note that even with the demand for electronic desktopinformation, many of us still love to touch knowledge with our fingertips andperuse the physical stacks of wisdom!

Staff Transitions We celebrated Mary Youngkin's many years of service on June 24, 2011 andappreciate that many of you came to the reception to share yourappreciation with her. Several new faculty and staff have been hired in thepast months including Christy Jarvis, our new Collections ManagementLibrarian who will assume the responsibilities previously held by AliceWeber. Alice has become our InterProfessional Education Librarian and willbe applying her nursing education to assist our IPE efforts which includeproviding student learning experiences within our Eccles Health SciencesEducation Building (HSEB) clinical suite and the College of NursingSimulation Learning Center.

As you may know, we were awarded to serve for the next five years as theonly National Library of Medicine Training Center (NTC). Sharon Dennis, whowas a technology coordinator with our MidContinental Region of theNational Network of Libraries of Medicine (NN/LM), has become theAssistant Director for the NTC. She was responsible for writing thesuccessful proposal and has spent her first couple of months in her newposition hiring a very talented staff for the center using a distributed model

as far as NTC faculty locations.

Sharon Brown will bring her many years of wonderful training experiencewith the previous NTCC to the new NTC while remaining based in New YorkCity. Rebecca Brown will also be working from another state, Kansas, as atrainer/curriculum and content specialist. In addition, Sharon Dennis willassist with trainings and all will be backedup with trainers from the EcclesLibrary. Internal staff include a project manager, Lindee Radtke, who willhandle the financials and many office and program logistics and MattSteadman, NTC Web developer, who will be working on the trainingregistration system, the NTC website, and online tutorial development.Claire Hamasu will help to guide the NTC activities as associate director, aswill Jean Shipman as director.

There have been some staffing changes within the MidContinental RML as aresult of the new NTC contract. John Bramble has become a technologycoordinator replacing Sharon Dennis. Recruitment is underway for aUtah/member services coordinator to replace John [job ad]. There will alsobe a replacement appointed for the Kansas outreach/technologycoordinator, as Rebecca Brown has joined the NTC. All the rest of theterrific MCRML coordinators will remain as before and Claire Hamasu willcontinue to serve as the associate director and Jean Shipman, the director.We are very happy to state that our MCRML contract was renewed foranother five years.

Be sure to look carefully at the faculty entries in this newsletter that willhelp to clarify who does what now, and who you just might want to contactfor assistance!

Special ProjectsLots of us have been working with various committees and task forces overthe summer. The InterProfessional Education Committee is planning onhosting an InfoFair with the Eccles Library this fall (October 45, 2011) andwith an interprofessional student group called the Health Sciences StudentCouncil. Look for more information on this soon! We also will be hosting aMayden Lecture on escience and data on February 22, 2012.

In addition, more development of My Research Assistant (MyRA) has beenunderway in partnership with the Assistant Vice President for InformationTechnology Office. A new version of MyRA will be released soon — visit thecurrent MyRA.

A Mac video/audio podcasting creation studio is being installed with fundingfrom the School of Medicine in the Eccles Library. It will be housed intemporary quarters until the construction projects are completed but willeventually be housed on the upper level of Eccles Library.

New study furniture has been ordered for the main level of the Library. Itwill have good lighting and movable white boards for group interactions andstudy use. This furniture will provide 24 more seats with either private orgroup space depending on the need. We think it will be very popular!

Donald K. Blumenthal


Donald K. Blumenthal — Library Champion

The Spencer S. Eccles Health Sciences Librarysalutes our Library Champions. This month wefeature Donald K. Blumenthal, Ph.D.

Dr. Blumenthal is an Associate Professor ofPharmacology and Toxicology and of Biochemistryand of Biomedical Informatics, as well as AssistantDean for Assessment at the College of Pharmacy atthe University of Utah. Dr. Blumenthal received hisB.A. in 1975 from the University of California, SanDiego and his Ph.D. in 1980 from the University ofCalifornia, San Diego. Dr. Blumenthal has tworesearch areas of interest:

1. structural studies of protein kinases2. identification of drugs to prevent neointimal hyperplasia.

We asked Don to tell us, in his own words, why he is an Eccles LibraryChampion.

Tell us why the Eccles Library is your best friend.Over the years, I have received tremendous support from the library staffon a variety of projects. In the early 1990s, soon after I joined the faculty,Sharon Dennis and the Knowledge Weavers helped me build a website,NetPharmacology, for my pharmacology course materials. This site includedlecture notes, animations, drug structures, and a large selftest questionbank. Although NetPharmacology was taken off the net some time ago, oneof the interactive animations we did with Derek Cowan and several medicalstudents, HyperHeart, is still very popular. More recently, library staff havehelped me and my faculty colleagues learn to use many new educationaltechnologies including the AV systems in HSEB, audience response systems(clickers), enhanced podcasts, and collaborative websites. This past spring,Nancy Lombardo encouraged me to use Google Sites for my graduatecourse in Biochemical Mechanisms of Signal Transductions. With Nancy'shelp, each student in the course used Google Sites to develope a web pagedevoted to a disease involving a pathology of signal transduction. Thecollaborative features of Google Sites allowed everyone in the class toreview and ask questions about each other's web page. This collaborativeinteraction greatly increased the level of participation of every student inthe course; I plan to use this tool in other courses in the future.

In summary, the Eccles Library has provided the expertise and technologyto help me become a much more effective teacher. The library staff arealways accessible, responsive to my needs, and generous with their timeand resources; these are characteristics of a best friend.

Why do you support the Eccles Library?The library is absolutely critical to the educational, research, and clinicalmissions of the Health Sciences Center. This really came home to me as Iworked on the College of Pharmacy accreditation selfstudy a few yearsago. Jeanne Le Ber helped me document the many services and resourcesprovided by the Eccles Library. These included books, journals, and onlineresources for pharmacists and pharmacy educators, as well as classes andother services that many faculty and students take for granted until theseservices are cut back because of limited financial resources. I wasimpressed at how well the library is able provide outstanding support tofaculty and students of the Health Sciences Center within such very severebudget restraints. We need to support the library because they support usin everything we do.

How has the Eccles Library helped you do your job?One of my primary responsibilities as a faculty member is to teach well andencourage good learning habits so that our pharmacy students, medicalstudents, and graduate students get the best possible training. The librarynot only enables me to use current educational technologies mosteffectively in the classroom, but also provides expertise and guidanceregarding evolving technologies that will allow me take me take myteaching to the next level.

What are the top three Eccles Library services you use?First: the library service I use every day is the library's electronicsubscription to electronic textbooks for preparing my lectures and teachingmaterials, and electronic journals for staying abreast of new developmentsin my areas of teaching and research expertise.

Second: on my top three services are the educational programs providedby the library. I try to attend as many of the librarysponsored seminars,workshops, and forums as I can in order to stay up to date on educationand information technologies that impact my teaching and research. I oftenfollow up with specific library staff if there is a technology that would beparticularly useful to me or to my faculty colleagues.

The third most important library service to me is the AV recording andvideo conferencing service provided by the library. Over the past severalyears, the College of Pharmacy has organized informal brown bag seminarsand workshops focused on curricular revision. All of these have beenrecorded to allow as many of our college faculty and students to participateas possible. We have even had one or two brown bag sessions that involvedrecording video conferences with other colleges of pharmacy.

What will the library look like in the near and distant future? Thelibrary of the future is evolving to be a vast and deep collection ofelectronic resources for faculty, students, researchers, and clinicians. The



Eccles Library web page is already a customizable portal to many essentialresources such as journals, textbooks, animations, videos, and podcasts. Isee this evolving to the point where accessing the Eccles Library web pagewill be like entering a virtual library customized to the needs of each user.

If the library user is faculty, the portal will likely have an automaticallygenerated list of highly relevant links to new research papers, FDAannouncements of new drugs or devices, and clinical trial results, as well aseducational materials available for that professor's teaching responsibilities.The faculty member would be able to view the contents at each website, aswell as organize and share these links with colleagues and students. Thelibrary portal would also be capable of video conferencing with colleaguesand students so that lab meetings and classroom discussions could beconducted within the virtual library. Any of the electronic resourcesavailable to any of the conference participants could be easily accessed,just as we do in meetings nowadays where we have copies of journalpapers, textbooks, and we can draw figures and diagrams on thewhiteboard.

If the library user is a student, the portal will contain organized lists ofeducational resources and materials for each class, including assignments,schedules, and exams. The portal will allow the student to organize theirlearning environment and schedule to optimize their learning potential. Forinstance, the library portal software will suggest optimal sequences ofreading assignments and interactive animations or simulations. Periodicquizzes and exams will provide student selfassessment and facultyassessment of progress through the curriculum and provide remediallearning experiences when needed. Students will be able to customize theirlearning experience by choosing among a variety of educational resources,such as readings, videos, simulations, or animations to achieve specificlearning outcomes. Students will be able to use the video conferencingcapabilities to schedule meetings and discussions with faculty or with otherstudents. Faculty will be able to develop rich and customized educationalexperiences for each student. Education will seem much less structured tothe end user than our current training for health sciences students, but willactually by highly structured through the use of technologies that trackstudent progress and facilitate optimal experiences throughout thestudent's curriculum.

How do you describe the Eccles Library to others?The Eccles Library is a unique team of talented and dedicated professionalswho facilitate the quest for knowledge and the development of expertise inall manner of subject areas related to the health sciences.

What information seeking/using advice would you offer to today'shealth sciences students?Get to know your librarians. They are your guides to the many incredibleresources available for health sciences education. If you are looking forobscure medical information or some healthrelated educational resource,the Eccles librarians will know how to find it (if it exists).



What's the best information advice you ever got?Back it up or risk losing it. Archiving important documents and educationalresources is another important function of the library that will becomeincreasingly important as electronic educational resources grow at alogarithmic rate. The USpace Institutional Repository is way for faculty andstudents to archive all manner of scholarly works, including multimediaworks such as animations, podcasts, and videos. For instance, I have usedthe institutional repository to archive images and animations of molecularstructures I used to illustrate pharmacogenomic principles to keep fromlosing them and to make them available to others who might want toinclude them in a lecture or class assignment. The animations are metatagged so that the USpace search engine can find them. Recently, NancyLombardo suggested that we archive the Google Site pages for the signaltransduction graduate course we taught last spring to capture the collectionof web pages the students developed and their discussions.

What do you do for fun? My wife and I love to travel, especially to placesrich with wildlife and natural beauty. I am an avid photographer and alwaystake at least one camera on our trips, including an underwater camera if wego someplace where I can dive. Between trips, I enjoy fly fishing andtelemark skiing in our local environs.

Celebrating the 40th Anniversary of the Spencer S. Eccles Health Sciences LibraryPart II

The Spencer S. Eccles Health SciencesLibrary was dedicated on Monday, October 4,1971 at 11:00 a.m. on the Library Mall. Thededication was followed by a buffet, tours ofthe library and a dinner honoring the Ecclesfamily. The dedication ceremony includedcomments by Calvin L. Rampton, Governor ofthe State of Utah; a tribute to Spencer S.Eccles by Dr. Kenneth Castleton, former VicePresident for Medical Affairs; and thekeynote address was given by Dr. Martin M.Cummings, Director of the National Library ofMedicine. Dr. Frank B. Rogers, Librarian at

the University of Colorado and former director of the National Library ofMedicine gave the dinner address. Chamber music was provided by a brassensemble.

The Early Years 19701979In the early years, 19701979, three majorprojects were implemented and accomplishedat the library. The first was the LearningResource Center which was constructed on thelower level where programs in both audiovisualmaterial and computer aided instruction werebegun. Secondly, the library received anExtension grant from the National Library ofMedicine which proposed to enhance hospitallibraries throughout the state by providing bothlibrary materials and instruction in themanagement of small hospital libraries. Out of the Extension grant camethe Utah Health Sciences Library Consortium, a core group of hospital andother health sciences libraries that continues to this day. The third majorproject in the 1970's was MEDOC, a publication project which indexed U.S.government documents in the health sciences. In addition to the threeprojects above, the library underwent an internal management surveywhich resulted in library reorganization, increased participation and betterstaff communication.

Technological changes were also prevalent in the 1970's with the

availability of Tymshare and Telenet dialup service. Searching for librarymaterials was enhanced by the installation of the first OCLC terminal forcataloging and implementation of CLSI (Computer Library Services Inc.) forautomated circulation of library materials were all enhanced. Copy servicevolume was increasing so rapidly that a room had to be carved out of thecirculation area to house additional photocopy machines. An audiovisualgrant was awarded by the National Medical Audiovisual Center to theUniversity of Utah and Creighton University allowing the sharing ofaudiovisuals across the midcontinental region. In addition, the librarybriefly ran a Document Center for Radiation Study based on the falloutreports of radiation in Utah in the 1950's. Finally, in 1978 the Eccles Libraryhosted the MidContinental Chapter of the Medical Library Association for atwo day meeting at Snowbird Resort.

The 1980'sIn the 1980's there was continuous advancement of automation in thelibrary. PHILSOM (Periodic Holdings in Libraries of Schools of Medicine) wentfrom batch processing to online enabling faster journal checkin. OCTANET,a networking and interlibrary loan system based on PHILSOM wasimplemented in the region. This was a precursor to DOCLINE a system stillused by the National Library of Medicine for interlibrary loans.

By the 10th anniversary of the Eccles Library,the library's collection had grown to over100,000 volumes. In 1981 there was an alltime record 2,297 literature searches done inthe library, but within two years, the move wason to allow "enduser searching." As a result,products like PaperChase, BRS Colleague andGrateful Med were rapidly being developed.This in turn necessitated a shift to teaching ourpatrons to do their own searches rather thanus doing the searches for them. In keeping with the move towardstechnology, the library began InfoFair, a daylong event initiated bylibrarian Nina Dougherty which highlighted the rapid evolution of computersin the health sciences. This single event continues to this day as an annualcelebration of the advancement of computers in health sciences libraries.

In April 1983 the Hope Fox Eccles ClinicalLibrary opened in the new UniversityHospital. This library was intended to be abranch library for the practicing physician,resident and student who needed timelyinformation 24 hours of the day. It wasapproved and constructed on the north endof the University Hospital fourth floor. TheClinical Library housed 250 books, 150journal titles (the three most current years)and a copy machine. It was staffed by a

librarian who, over a two year period, went on rounds in the NICU,Obstetrics and Gynecology and Internal Medicine. Hours and staffing

4/19/2015 Stoddart


evolved over the decade. Initially, the Drug Information Center staffed theevenings with PharmD students until they outgrew the space; eventuallythe library hired additional parttime students to staff the evening hours.Over time it was recognized that parttime help was also needed during theday to cover for the librarian's absence as she went on rounds and tomeetings. By the end of the decade, it was no longer possible to staff 24hours a day but the door count continued to grow and services were wellregarded.

The Eccles Library continued the tradition of actively seeking outsidefunding for projects that advanced visibility and programs. An IAIMS(Integrated Academic Information Management Systems) contract wasawarded for three years to provide long range planning for the academichealth sciences campus. A second grant was applied for but was notreceived. By that time, however, many principle players were alreadyidentified and information integration of the campus was underway. A SmallComputer User Group for example was initiated by a librarian to enhancethe broad conversation about the future of the personal computer. An IAIMSFellowship was also filled and the first Fellow spent six months working withthe director and learning about the Utah model before going back to Illinois.

Other initiatives were also begun, and it was an exciting time to be inlibraries. Funding was received for the first six Apple IIe public accesscomputers which were added to the Media Services area. Infonet andInfonet II were developed as a local version of the regional OCTANETsystem for networking and interlibrary loans for health sciences libraries.Toward the end of the decade, SilverPlatter CDROMs came into vogue as away to contain the costs of searching and make it more freely available tothe patrons. Slice of Life, HyperBrain, HyperHeart and other similarsoftware came to the library as development products that furtherenhanced the growth of Computer and Media Services. These state of theart learning products developed by Dr. Suzanne Stensaas and hercolleagues at the University of Utah's Departments of Pathology, Radiology,Neuroanatomy, Anatomy, Neurosurgery, Ophthalmology, and the MedicalExaminer's Office for the state of Utah were part of the library fabric forover 20 years.

In 1984, the library's first director, Priscilla Mayden retired, and Wayne Peaybecame director. As a tribute to Priscilla, her friends inaugurated thePriscilla M. Mayden Award, to be given to a person or project that shows asuccessful application of computer technology in a clinical or patient caresetting. In 1985, the library began planning for the first Integrated Librarysystem, the LS2000, developed by OCLC. This product would integrate thelibrary catalog and services activities of acquisitions, cataloging, circulationand interlibrary loan.

By the end of the decade, computers had totally transformed the library. Itwas no longer a question of if the library would automate a process; it wasa question of how quickly it could move to the next generation ofautomation. The new director, Wayne Peay took an aggressive stance on alllibrary projects and participated widely on campus and in the state to

insure that libraries played a leadership role.He was one who "pushed the envelope" andmade it very clear what he thought thefuture of the Eccles Library should look like.As the library moved to the 1990's, therewere many issues to deal with includingautomation, the rising costs of journals,meager budget increases, changing servicemodels and the ever present push to gofaster and farther.

Part III of this series will address thosechanges as we move to the year 1990 andbeyond.

Tablets and eReaders Available for Checkout

In order to allow our patrons the opportunity to try the latest mobiletechnologies, the Spencer S. Eccles Health Sciences Library has purchaseda number of tablets and eReaders. These devices are available for twoweek checkout at the Public Service desk on the main level of the library.In return, library staff are asking users to fill out a short nine questionsurvey about how the device was used, likes and dislikes, apps exploredand preferences. A limited number of books and apps have been purchasedand preloaded for all the devices, so they come with content for your useand experimentation. In addition, each tablet has the Kindle and Nook appavailable to allow choice in the reading of eBooks.

Mobile devices available include:

Tablets3 iPads3 Xooms

eReaders6 Kindle3 Nook black and white3 Nook color

The devices are WiFi only, and require a wireless network in range to workeffectively. On campus, the devices can easily use UConnect and UGuestWiFi networks.

Tablets — Wow, they are so cool! We are seeing students and faculty carrying all manner of new smalldevices these days. Tablets are all the rage, and the iPad and Androidoperating systems (OS) are battling it out for the lead in this market.

Apple's iPad 2The iPad 2 was released in June 2011 withmuch fanfare. It has a slimmer, sleekerdesign that feels comfortable in your hands.The iPad Smart Cover (available in 10 brightcolors) not only protects your device, butattaches magnetically. Open the SmartCover and your iPad wakes up instantly;close the cover and your iPad goes to sleepautomatically. The iPad 2 comes equipped

with both front and back facing cameras.The iPad technology allows you to easily

surf the web, check email, watch movies and read books using the nativeGoogle iBooks app. Or, for a more robust eReader, you can download theKindle or Nook app for additional functionality (dictionary, highlighting,annotating). iPad remains the leader in number of tabletoptimized appsavailable. The 64 GB iPad 2 costs $599.

Android Tablet — Motorola XoomThe most competitive Android tablet is theMotorola Xoom, which runs Google's Android3.1 Honeycomb OS. The Xoom is slightlythicker and heavier than the iPad 2, but hasa higher resolution display, MicroSD slots forextra storage, and USB connections. It hasthe potential to upgrade to 4G in the future,while the iPad 2 does not. Some of thefeatures that stand out on the Xoom, and all

Androids, are: voice commands using Google's VoiceAction system, truemultitasking, desktoplike browsing (including the ability to browse Flashbased content) and full access to your files using the USB connection. Thenative Xoom eReader is Books which interfaces with over 3million GoogleeBooks. The Xoom with 32 GB costs $589. Recent news of Google'spurchase of Motorola Mobility may increase competition between Googleand Apple (and Microsoft, remember them?).

eReaders — They're fun and convenient!The eReader technology is also evolvingquickly. New versions of the Amazon Kindleand Barnes & Noble Nook are vying to gainthe eReader market. Each device uses itsown proprietary format and its own store forpurchasing the eBooks. This is often thedeciding factor in making a decision aboutpurchasing. If you already have an activeaccount with one store or the other, theirproduct may be the device for you.

Kindles and the original Nook use the einkdisplay technology which allows for readingin bright sunlight, but requires lighting indark settings. The two are close to the samesize, with the Nook slightly smaller. TheKindle has a keyboard for navigation, whilethe Nook uses a narrow band touch screen.

The newer Nook Color is larger and has an LCD screen, which has the usualpros and cons (glare, hard to read in sunlight, easy to read in the dark.)The Kindle has some interesting audio features, such as the ability to readdocuments to you using TexttoSpeech in a rather robotic voice. Audiobooks are available for both readers.

Need to make a group decision? Wiggio's polling feature lets you easilyand quickly create a poll with yes/no, multiplechoice and writtenanswerresponses. Like all of Wiggio's features, you can send the poll to your

group's members and add additional recipients just by adding their emailaddress. All recipients receive an email with a link to the poll, and the pollappears as an item in your feed with a link to take the poll as well. You canview both aggregated and individual responses to the questions.

Wiggio's email feature allows users to send email, text or voice messagesquickly and easily. If your group's members have updated their Wiggioaccount to include their cell phone number, you can send "blast" textmessages to all members, making this a great tool for prioritycommunication. If a member has not included their cell phone number, thisfeature will send the message to their email instead.

The todo lists feature allows group members to create and track tasks,assignments and milestones. After creating a todo list, users can addtasks, assign them to individuals, and add duedates. This list appears inyour feed, and as you or your group members finish these items, they canbe checked off as completed.

Wiggio is a simple tool to support group work with a full set of basicfeatures at the best price—free. Now that Google has launched its newGoogle+ services with some of these same features, it will be interestingto see how quality services like Wiggio match up with it, and which onessurvive and thrive.
