The intended audience is new collection development librarians and librarians whose primary responsibilities are not in collection development. The different sections should reflect the areas of responsibility and the tasks involved in development and management of collections in the health sciences. By no means is the information provided exhaustive, and resource suggestions are provided that may provide more details.

  • TOXMAP: a GIS Information Portal to Environmental Health Databases
    TOXMAP: A GIS Information Portal to Environmental Health Databases Marti Szczur (National Library of Medicine/NIH/DHHS) Chris Krahe (Aquilent Inc.) Colette Hochstein (National Library of Medicine/NIH/DHHS) Abstract The National Library of Medicine (NLM) has an extensive collection of environmental health information, including bibliographic and factual data on hazardous chemical substances in its TOXNET databases. TOXNET also provides access to the EPA Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) data, which covers air, water, and land releases, as reported by industrial facilities around the United States. Built using ArcIMS, NLM has developed a web-based system, TOXMAP, in which users can dynamically create maps that show where TRI chemicals are released and directly link to the appropriate chemical data records in TOXNET. By extracting the associated regional geographic terms from the displayed map (e.g., rivers, towns, county, state), TOXMAP (http://toxmap.nlm.nih.gov/) also provides customized chemical and/or region-specific searches to NLM's bibliographic bio-medical databases resources. This paper will focus on the design concepts, implementation strategy, challenges, and feedback from users. It will also address issues associated with data accuracy, the risk of data misinterpretation, and future directions. - 1 - Background The National Library of Medicine (NLM)1 is part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), which is one of the organizations within the Department of Health & Human Services2. NLM is the world’s largest medical library and is a leader in the selection, acquisition, organization, and provision of medically related literature and data. Within NLM, the Specialized Information Services Division (SIS) is responsible for a collection of databases and related information on environmental health.

  • Appendix: Environmental Health Information and Resources
    HSG Guide Version 1.3 Appendix January 2016 Is a health study the answer for your community? A guide for making informed decisions For decades, environmental health scientists at Boston University School of Public Health have worked with community groups to address environmental health problems. We wrote the Health Studies Guide to assist community groups and individuals who think that some form of environmental health investigation or health study may be useful or necessary in their community. Readers of this guide may have concerns about drinking water contamination, or the relationship between emissions from a power plant and asthma in their community. People may suspect that a certain disease in their community, such as lupus, has an environmental cause or trigger. All of these are reasons for wanting a health study. Hopefully this Guide will help readers think this through. Appendix: Environmental Health Information and Resources The Guide can be found on our website at http://www.bu.edu/sph/health-studies-guide/ 1 HSG Guide Version 1.3 Appendix January 2016 Appendix: Environmental Health Information and Resources 1.

  • Impact on Open Access on Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums
    The Impact of Open Access on Galleries, Libraries, Museums, & Archives Effie Kapsalis Smithsonian Emerging Leaders Development Program April 27, 2016 Executive Summary For the purpose of this document, “open access” is defined as making public domain materials open for use without any restrictions, and making copyrighted materials available under the provisions of fair use (non-commercial, educational). More than 50 institutions have, to varying degrees, pursued open access over the last decade, removing technical and copyright barriers to their digitized collections and resources. A strengthened institutional brand, increased use and dissemination of collections, and increased funding opportunities have been some of the benefits associated with open-access initiatives. A recent Andrew W. Mellon Foundation study, “Images of Works of Art in Museum Collections: The Experience of Open Access, a Study of 11 Museums,” found that among the museums studied, none that enforced copyright restrictions made any significant surplus or profit against their expenditures. It concluded, “real and perceived gains far outweigh the real and perceived losses for every museum in the study that has made a transition to an open access approach.”1 Recently, several funders, including the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Ford Foundation, and William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, have made open access either a requirement for gift recipients or a factor in assessing potential gifts. Furthermore, President Barack Obama’s Open Government Initiative, launched in 2009, has built an increasing expectation from the public that all government entities will move towards practices that are more open, which places federal entities at risk for public perception of not pursuing best practices.
