We are very honored to announce that we have also successfully competedto serve as the National Library of Medicine Training Center, the only one inthe nation. Since the start of the Training Center, the New York Academy ofMedicine held this distinction. We are only the second institution to beawarded the contract in its entire history. What does this Center do? Aspart of the NN/LM, it provides training to both health care professionals andlibrary staff about NLM products and services, including PubMed. Whilehistorically the trainings were inperson classes, with this contract, moreemphasis will be placed on distance learning classes and online tutorials.We are pleased to welcome Sharon Brown to the Eccles Library faculty. Shehas been a trainer with the Center for many years and will reside in NewYork City while fulfilling her responsibilities. We are recruiting for additionalfaculty and staff to meet the many contract requirements. Our appreciationis extended to Sharon Dennis, who wrote the contract proposal and will beleading its training initiatives for the next five years.

Update on Library Renovations With power installed now to the compact shelving in the lower level of theLibrary, we hope to soon be able to reopen our print collection. We needsome temporary walls placed in order for the rest of the level to receiveeven more renovations as we install a research support center or incubatorand offices for the CTSA administration. Once the temporary walls areinstalled, you will once again be able to browse through the books andjournals. We also have ordered new modular furniture for the main levelthat will include 4 pods of 6 cubicles each, some of which can be madeprivate through the use of movable screens. We also anticipate the start ofbuilding of staff offices on the upper level in the very near future. Staytuned!

And now for the sad news —

As many of you may have heard, we are mourning the passing of the firstdirector of the Spencer S. Eccles Health Sciences Library, Priscilla M.Mayden. Below is a short summary prepared by Joan Stoddart of several ofthe contributions Priscilla made over her years, but her influence has neverreally stopped. Recently, I attended a meeting of the different librarydirectors throughout the Salt Lake City metro area, and one from Park Citytold everyone about how the recent Mayden Lecture encouraged her staff toredesign their library's website. The Mayden Lecture series has beenrevered by many; it was established in Priscilla's honor at her retirement.

I had the great opportunity to meet Priscilla a couple of years ago and gotthe chance to see how powerful of an individual she was at 90. I can onlyimagine and appreciate her influence during her years as Director of theEccles Library. I feel that I, the faculty and staff and the users of the Libraryare benefiting from her vision for the physical building and for the value ofinformation. Due to her foresight, the now fortyyear old library (see articleabout our 40th anniversary) has been easy to transform into the needs of a21st century library. I especially appreciate her awareness that as manyelectrical outlets as possible should be placed along the walls.

It has been a delight to read the many memories shared by her peers aboutPriscilla. I know we all have lost a great visionary, a wonderfulspokesperson, a mentor, and a delightfully gracious individual. May werelish in our fond memories and appreciate the legacy she has left to gainthe knowledge needed to make this world a better place for all of us.

Thank you Priscilla!

Priscilla Remembered by Joan Stoddart . . .

Priscilla M. Mayden, who served as the first Director of the Spencer S.Eccles Health Sciences Library, passed away this month at the age of 93.

Priscilla Maltby Mayden was born in 1918 in Stoughton, Massachusetts. Shereceived her B.S. from Simmons College in 1941 and her M.S. in LibraryScience from Columbia University in 1967. She was Hospital Librarian in theWomen’s Army Corps, United States Air Force Redistribution Center, SantaAna, California from 19441946, the Chief Librarian at the VeteransAdministration Hospital, Bedford, Massachusetts from 1946 1952 and ChiefLibrarian at the Veterans Administration Hospital in Salt Lake City, Utahfrom 19521966. She came to the University of Utah as the MedicalSciences Librarian and then became Director of the Spencer S. EcclesHealth Sciences Library 19661985. Ms. Mayden was a member of theMedical Library Association Board of Directors, 19751978 and became aFellow in the Association in 1983. She was also Chair of the Utah AcademicLibrary Consortium 19721973 and President of the Utah Library Association19611962.

Priscilla’s friends and colleagues established the Priscilla M. Maydenendowment in her honor upon her retirement in 1985. This lectureship hasallowed the Eccles Library to invite knowledgeable and exciting speakersamong others such as Dr. Joyce Mitchell, Chair of the University of Utah'sDepartment of Biomedical Informatics, who spoke last year about Genetics,Genomics and Biomedical Informatics, and Dr. Ed Shortliff from ColumbiaUniversity who spoke a few years earlier about the National HealthInformation Infrastructure.

Priscilla was a visionary in her time, understanding the emerging role ofcomputers in libraries and in healthcare at the bedside. She started theHope Fox Eccles Clinical Library in the University Hospital in 1983 whichserved clinical staff by providing access to resources and services, andliterature search capability close to the bedside. This library has recentlybeen relocated and redesigned as the Hope Fox Eccles Health Library andnow serves the health information needs of patients and families ofUniversity Hospital.

The obituary for Ms. Mayden was recently posted on the Salt Lake Tribunewebsite.

Tell us why the Eccles Library is your best friend.My experience with the Eccles Library extends well over the last 20 years.Library personnel are always available to help me professionally and evenpersonally.

Why do you support the Eccles Library?The library is an excellent resource for nurse educators and researchers.Library personnel are extremely knowledgeable, people oriented, andtechnology savvy. They are outstanding knowledge workers and willinglyshare this knowledge with all of their patrons, including those in at theUniversity and in the community.

How has the Eccles Library helped you do your job?Jeanne Le Ber, Alice Weber, Mary Youngkin and others provide excellentcomputerbased classes for my students on how to conduct literaturesearches and locate best evidence for practice. At times, due to large classsizes, several librarians are brought in to teach so that every student canuse a computer and receive individualized instruction.

The library sponsors a wide variety of excellent seminars and forums. Atone forum I learned about the use of technology for interactive learning. Atthe end of the seminar, I briefly spoke to Nancy Lombardo about a patienteducation workshop that had been developed and inquired if this might be acandidate for the interactive learning technology. Soon thereafter, Nancygathered a team of experts from the library and secured funding for theproject. The product was the Patient Education Workshop on CD ROM. It iswidely used in hospitals and clinics throughout the United States andCanada.

In another situation, library employees were quick to respond to anopportunity to test the use of PDA (handheld device) technology in clinicalnursing education. They actively took a leadership role not only with theeducation process, but also with understanding the technology, helping towrite the proposal for funding, and implementing the project. Thanks toAlice Weber's leadership, this project ended up being very successful.

What are the top three library services you use?The three main services I use are:

1. Assistance in locating materials for teaching. Library employeesare always willing to help me as a faculty member to find the perfectvideo or article for class. Their can do attitude has saved the day onmany occasions.2. Providing expertise and service on interdisciplinarycommittees. They always take an active (participatory) role oncommittees and make significant contributions to make things happen.3. Providing computer support. They are wellknown for makingthings work in the HSEB without embarrassing the technology novice.

What will the library look like in the near and distant future? Clearly, the library will continue to take the lead in technology and inproviding health information for students, faculty, and consumers. Inaddition, library staff will become increasingly recognized as leaders in allareas of health sciences education. I am particularly excited about the newHope Fox Eccles Health Library located near the lobby of UniversityHospital. This offering extends the reach of the Eccles Library by offeringeasily accessible health information to patients, families, and the general





community.

How do you describe the Eccles Library to others?The library is userfriendly. While the library has all of the features of aregular library, this library is much, much more. Avenues for health sciencesinformation have now been opened through computer access, sophisticatedretrieval systems, and educational offerings.

What information seeking/using advice would you offer to today'shealth sciences students?I would encourage all students and my colleagues to become acquaintedwith and take advantage of all of the many offerings at the library. Thethings learned from the library staff are lifetime learning skills that will lastthroughout one's career.

What is the best information advice you every got? In thinking back, I remember a time when information I obtained at theEccles Library helped me make a decision about a suggested surgery. Aftera terrible accident and severe injuries, my physician thought a particularsurgery (viewed as experimental by my insurance company) might behelpful. I decided to investigate the surgery by going to the Eccles Library.The librarian assisted me in locating current articles and books. With thisinformation, my physician and I decided not to go through with the surgery.Over time, I learned that this decision was, in fact, the right decision. I amso grateful for the way the librarian listened to my concern and the led meto current information.

What do you do for fun?Hiking, snowshoeing, walking, canoeing, camping, gardening, listening tomusic, learning to play the guitar.

First library on the University of Utah campus;Liberal Arts (Cowles) Building


40th Anniversary of the Spencer S. Eccles Health Sciences Library:Part I

This year the Spencer S. Eccles HealthSciences Library celebrates its 40thAnniversary. The library opened itsdoors on September 2, 1971; theformal opening was celebrated in earlyOctober 1971. The history of thehealth sciences library is theculmination of many years of growthgoing back to the beginning of the20th century. As the new campusgrew with the first buildings onPresident's Circle, the library was apart of the campus library, first in theLiberal Arts Building, (later the LeroyCowles Building) which opened in

1902, then in the Administration Building, (later named the John R. ParkBuilding) completed in 1914 and finally the George Thomas Library Buildingcompleted in 1935.

In the mid1940s, the medical school began its four year curriculum andpressure built to enhance library services and collections. A 1944 review ofthe medical school and library support noted that although there were over8,000 volumes and 83 subscriptions devoted to medicine at the ThomasLibrary, there was no support for the clinical education for medical studentyears 3 and 4 at the County Hospital. A clinical branch collection was soonstarted and more attention was paid to the needs of the expanded medical

school.

In 1947 Isabelle T. Anderson washired to provide guidance andexpertise. She strengthened theserials collection, consolidated themedicine, pharmacy, and dentalcollections, began the History ofMedicine collection, broadened theservices at the County Hospital andstill had time to host the MedicalLibrary Association's (MLA) annualmeeting in 1953. She also became thePresident of the MLA in 1957. WhenMs. Anderson left Utah in 1955, RobertDivett was named head of the medical

division of the University's library. He stayed until 1962 when he accepted aposition at the University of New Mexico.

In 1965, Priscilla M. Mayden, the ChiefLibrarian at the VeteransAdministration Hospital in Salt LakeCity was asked by the Dean of theMedical School to become the MedicalLibrarian at the University of Utah. Atthat time, the new University MedicalCenter on the east side of campuswas already complete and the CountyHospital branch library had beenmoved into the "B" Level of thebuilding. There was mounting pressureto bring the materials from theThomas Library as well and toseparate from the campus library.

Priscilla's first task was to assist withplanning and building a new medicallibrary. That included writing a buildingprogram document and applying forfunding from the Medical Library

Assistance Act of 1965 sponsored by the National Library of Medicine. Withthe grant application complete, there was still much to be done whilewaiting for NLM's decision. In August 1967, 71,000 books, journals andmonographs were moved from the Thomas Library to the "B" Level of theMedical Center. The allotted 3,200 square feet space had to be upgradedfrom an unimproved storage space with dirt floor and overhead, leaky pipesto a functional library. Old stacks were disassembled at the Thomas Libraryand reassembled in the new space; material was packed onto carts,transported and off loaded by crews of students and university personnel.Ventilation was poor and there was no air conditioning, so it was a verydifficult move. When the move was complete, there was study space for 38,

staff work area for 10 and only one small office for the director.

From 1968 to 1971, Priscilla continuedher work on fund raising, programdesign and construction of theSpencer S. Eccles Health SciencesLibrary. NLM had awarded the last oftheir federal funding from the MedicalLibrary Assistance Act. Additionalfunding was secured from foundationsand the Eccles family. The site thenhad to be approved and that was noeasy task considering it had been amuch desired parking lot. The currentsite was chosen to become part of acorridor which would link the MedicalCenter Building, the Library, the

Nursing and the Pharmacy Buildings. The groundbreaking took place inNovember, 1969 and after several years the building was opened anddedicated October 4, 1971.

The time since the Eccles Library dedication has been exciting for both thehealth sciences campus and library faculty. Part II in our next issue willdiscuss highlights of the last 40 years.

Cool Tools: Accessing Your Health Record at University Health Care

University of Utah Health Careservices recently launched MyChart,which allows patients to access theirelectronic medical record (EMR)online. Patients wanting to access thisservice can go to the MyChart websiteand request an access code. The codeis mailed out promptly, and the online

setup process is simple and straightforward. In order to protect yourprivacy, after a few minutes of inactivity, the system logs you out.

MyChart allows you to:

View your health summary, current medications and test resultsRequest medical appointmentsRequest prescription renewalsTrack your immunization historyCommunicate electronically and securely with your medical care teamAccess trusted health information resources

You can even create and print a wallet card with important medicalinformation. This last feature is handy in the event of an emergency thatrenders the patient unconscious, providing valuable information toemergency medical personnel. For families, parents can set up MyChart sothey have access to their children's health information. Simply drop by yourlocal clinic and request access, and it will be added to your MyChart accountwithin 10 business days.

In addition, patients with an iPhone or iPod touch can download anapplication to access this same system from their mobile device. Once youronline account is setup in MyChart, you simply enter your username andpassword to enter the system. The mobile interface presents you with sixoptions:

MyChart iPhone app

At the time of this writing, access to trustedhealth information resources is still underdevelopment. It will eventually link withMedlinePlus Connect from the National Library ofMedicine. This service allows any electronichealth record (EHR) system to easily link usersto MedlinePlus, an authoritative uptodatehealth information resource for patients, familiesand health care providers. MedlinePlus providesinformation about conditions and disorders,medications, and health and wellness.

MyChart is an evolving, valuable tool forindividuals to track and maintain their personalhealth. But what if a person changes healthcareservices? How do they take this information withthem?

Enter the personal health record, or PHR. An EMR is different from a PHR. Asreviewed in the Spencer S. Eccles Health Sciences Library's InfoFair 2010, aPHR is kept by the individual. As the keeper of the PHR, the individualpatient maintains a summary record of their health and wellbeing. Thisinformation can be shared with healthcare providers at the direction of thepatient.

How the EMR and PHR will interact is still developing, and medical librariansat Eccles Library and elsewhere are advocating for standardization andconsistency across the field of health information technology.

Eccles Library Wins!!

The National Library of Medicine's Video ContestNLM & You: The Video

The Spencer S. Eccles Health Sciences Library collaborated with theUniversity of Utah Department of Biomedical Informatics to submit an entryin the NLM & You: The Video contest this spring. The contest supported theNational Library of Medicine's mission of publicizing the availability of itsinformation products and services. The public was invited to create originalshort videos to promote awareness of NLM products and services. TheEccles Library entry highlighted MedlinePlus, a consumer health informationresource, in a scenario where a child with a peanut allergy used theresource to learn more about it and educate his classmates.

We began our efforts only one week before the deadline. A script waswritten, locations were identified, the school was contacted, permissionswere granted and the narrative was recorded. After a weekend full ofvideotaping, we had nearly four hours of footage. Derek Cowan, the libraryvideographer, masterfully whittled the footage to a highly entertaining 52second video clip, telling the story and emphasizing the value ofMedlinePlus.

There was one $1,000 grand prize winner, and our video, James and thePeanut Allergy, won it! The videos of the grand prize winner and the runnersup will be featured on NLM's website. The video was played for themembership at the recent Medical Library Association meeting inMinneapolis, Minnesota. We are extremely pleased with the results of theeffort and hope you will use these links to enjoy it yourself.
