4 The Embedded Library

Teaching and Committee Work As partners in medical education, Medical Library staff provide instruction in courses throughout Yale. This past year, our staff were guest lecturers in thirty-five courses across the Medical Center and Yale College curriculums. A key partner in educational assessment, library staff also participate on various committees involved in evaluating and improving programs in the Medical Center, such as the YSM Educational Policy and Curriculum Committee, the YSPH Working Group on Research, and the Physician Associate Program Assessment Committee. We are deeply engaged in all aspects of Medical Center community life, with staff serving on committees ranging from the YSM Security Committee to the Art in Public Spaces Committee.

8 New in the Library

Collections Library collections and electronic resources are essential sources of information for biomedical education, research, and patient care. The Medical Library subscribed to a number of new resources in response to requests from users across the Medical Center. The Medical Library licensed MedOne Plastic Surgery, a database representing current scholarship in every aspect of plastic surgery. Plastic surgery residents were particularly interested in this resource, and it has seen consistently high usage since the subscription was initiated. Through a cost-sharing partnership with the Lillian Goldman Law Library, the Medical Library subscribed to STAT Plus, a premium news service covering advancements in the health sciences, pharma, and biotech industries.

Acquisition Spotlight Building on a strong collection of historical texts on surgery, and a growing focus on plastic surgery, the Historical Library acquired Johann Friedrich Dieffenbach’sChirurgische Erfahrungen, besonders über die Wiederherstellung zerstörter Theile des menschlichen Körpers nach neuen Methoden (1829– 34). Dieffenbach, a Berlin surgeon operating in Photo: Terry Dagradi the early nineteenth century, discusses various techniques for reconstructing the ears, lips, and other parts of the body, including rebuilding the nose using a forehead flap.

Medical Biography Reclassification On the home front, our medical biographies were given new prominence through a reclassification project. In the Morse Reading Room, an expan- sive collection of medical biographies lines the shelves surrounding the quiet study spaces. To improve browsing and discovery of the collection, Library Services Assistants Vasean Daniels, Alla Mashkautsan, and Lisa Sanders reclassified more than 9,500 biographies into a simpler classifica- tion system. The new system is organized by the subject’s last name, making it easier for researchers to discover the stories of eminent physicians and medical professionals throughout the centuries.
