  • Mcgoogan Health Sciences Library
    McGoogan Health Sciences Library Fiscal Year 2019 / 2020 This past year was one of the strangest of my career, with the library closing while staff relocated to temporary space in Eppley Science Hall, followed by moving to remote work because of COVID-19. Despite these challenges, we had another successful year of accomplishments, welcoming new faculty and staff and maintaining seamless service during this time. I frequently comment on the value libraries bring to their campuses. I describe how our services and programs meet the university’s mission. This year, I want to focus on how the faculty and staff of the McGoogan Health Sciences Library create that value for UNMC, Nebraska Medicine, and our community partners. • Negotiating, licensing, and maintaining seamless access • Managing a platform for hosting UNMC-produced content, to the thousands of e-journals, ebooks, and databases you including a journal from the Graduate Medical Education office rely on every day • Working with users on 3D printing • Checking out our remaining print collections and anatomical • Providing Nebraska residents with consumer health information models. Our models are heavily used by several of our academic programs • Assisting academic departments, institutes, and centers in understanding the publication efforts of their faculty • Delivering articles, usually within 24 hours, for things the library does not own • Advocating for students by creating the best library for studying, reflection, and collaboration • Partnering with faculty on systematic reviews

  • History of the Arkansas Supreme Court Library
    The Supreme Court Library -- A Source of Pride By JACQUELINE S. WRIGHT Librarian Reprinted from 47 Arkansas Historical Quarterly 136 (Summer 1988) with permission of the Arkansas Historical Association. THE ARKANSAS SUPREME COURT LIBRARY, founded by act of the general assembly in 1851, is the oldest library in the state of Arkansas that is still operating. It serves judges, lawyers and laypersons who research in the very same books that were acquired over one hundred years ago. That is not to say that the library has not developed and grown - it has. New books are added every day, as well as new formats for information, such as microforms and computers. But the nucleus of the collection that was acquired in the last century is still here. State reports, session laws, seventeenth and eighteenth century treatises authored by Sir Edward Coke and Sir William Blackstone and their contemporaries are useful today because they contain solutions to problems that are based on logic and equity. It is difficult to imagine any controversy that might surround such a useful institution. However, some peculiar language in the legislation indicates that there was disagreement about something to do with the library. But the newspapers published in the 1850s hardly mention either its need or its founding. History books mention its founding but cast no light on the circumstances surrounding this event. The search for information about these circumstances was interesting. It required several forays into the files of the Arkansas History Commission, the Special Arkansas Collection at the Library of the University of Arkansas at Little Rock and the Old State House Library and Archives.

  • African American Research Library and Cultural Center Special Collections Preservation Project
    PG-266661-19 African American Research Library and Cultural Center Special Collections Preservation Project What activity (or activities) would the grant support? The African American Research Library and Cultural Center (AARLCC) is seeking support for the development of a two stage preservation and outreach initiative. The first output area will employ an external consultant to create a comprehensive preservation assessment report. The purpose of this assessment is to provide a thorough actionable report of archival planning needs. The scope of the assessment will cover the collections and their institutional context - the physical building, storage environment, security, access, care, conservation repair, and exhibition. Collections at AARLCC are found in the following mediums: paper, photographic, book, art, framed art, manuscript and oversized materials. Besides identifying a hierarchy of preservation needs, the report will serve as documentation for further institutional budgeting. The second output will be the completion of two preservation and collections care workshops for the general public. AARLCC is located in one of the oldest historically black communities in Broward County, Florida. Located on Sistrunk Blvd, named for one of Broward County’s first black physicians, AARLCC opened in 2002, and has served as the repository of materials related to the local, national and international voices of the African diaspora. With time, and as the surrounding neighborhoods undergo a change in population, the risk of losing valuable information is evident. The average person is unaware that their personal papers have historical value. Often, records of a community’s history are lost or discarded. Of great importance is the need to collect and preserve the history of this and other historically Black communities in Broward.
