The U & You project seeks to build a longitudinal collection of students’ academic and social growth. The project consists of two parts:
1. Interviews with students that are transcribed and assigned metadata for relevant recall.
2. Development of a website to access the stories, by searching for metadata on the participant

The U & You project is producing original documents (interviews) in the form of local oral histories and experimenting with an entirely new “collection” that is social in origin, and special in the access it provides to the personal experiences of the U’s student population.

Tony Sams is the Digital Scholarship Consultant and Project Manager, Digital Scholarship Lab in the Faculty Center at the J. Willard Marriott Library.

The Utah Landscapes Exhibit is an examination of the beauty and wonder that can be found throughout Utah via the photographic eye of Steven Leitch.

Steven Leitch has been employed as a Medical Photographer for the University of Utah’s School of Medicine since 1977. During that time, he has seen photography make drastic changes in the field of image capture.

It’s a new age, but despite the ease and automation in today’s digital world, the art, eye and skills of the artist-photographer are still necessary to produce fine art photography.

Throughout this exhibit Steven Leitch has employed the ideals of photography as they were years ago: true, actual, and real. These images of scenic Utah were all taken with digital cameras. He has striven to keep these images just as he saw them.

The exhibit will be accessible during the Library’s open hours:
Monday – Thursday 7:00 AM – 9:00 PM
Friday 7:00 AM – 6:00 PM.
Saturday 10:00 AM. – 6:00 PM

Appy Hour Announcement

Program Description: Have you ever wondered how world leaders know how to react in times of crisis? In fact, where do world leaders learn how to handle these difficult situations? Fortunately, the University of Utah College of Law trains tomorrow’s leaders for these contingencies.

Each year, the S.J. Quinney College of Law runs a day long counter-terrorism simulation that puts students in a real life crisis scenario. Through this interesting use of technology, students learn the skills necessary to act and react appropriately in crisis situations.

Presenters will talk about:

• How we put together the simulation in conjunction with the Simulation Design Course taught at the College of Law
• How to leverage technology to make a smooth, realistic scenario
• What unfolds over the course of the twelve hour day

For more information and a short documentary about previous simulations, visit http://simulation.law.utah.edu

Presenters:
Mark Beekhuizen is the Director of Information Technology at the University of Utah S. J. Quinney College of Law. Mark is in a position where he is face-to-face with the social impacts of IT systems and change upon people and processes. The ability to daily engage in “beneficial work” is something too few IT leaders truly get to see firsthand. Mark is interested in supporting the growing movement to apply appropriate technology solutions to academic needs and the social impacts these systems and changes are having on the world around us.

Aaron Dewald is the Associate Director for the Center for Innovation in Legal Education at the University of Utah College of Law and a third year Ph.D. student in learning science at the College of Education.  With his job and schooling, Aaron has a unique perspective on technology use in pedagogical situations.

Please join us on Monday, October 29 from 2:30 – 3:30 pm in the Health Sciences Education Building (HSEB), room 2600 for a lively discussion.

Contact amy.honisett@utah.edu (801-587-9246) with questions.

As old barriers crumble, the face of modern medicine is rapidly changing, but a look back at Utah’s colorful history reveals some surprising precedents. “A doctor if He had good sens[e] would not wish to visit women in child birth,” Brigham Young said in his medical lecture to the Board of Health at Great Salt Lake City in December 1851. “And if a woman had good sense she would not wish a man to doctor them on such an occasion.”

The territory’s early Mormon settlers were dedicated naturopaths of the Thompsonian persuasion, and as President Young’s words indicate, women dominated several fields of medical science, notably pediatrics. Frontier midwife Patty Bartlett Sessions recorded 3,977 births, with only “two difficult cases,” and performed her last delivery at the age of 85. During her career, Dr. Ellis Shipp, an 1878 graduate of the Woman’s Medical College of Pennsylvania, delivered more than 5,000 babies at the Deseret Hospital.

Historian Will Bagley, whose great-great-grandparents lost seven children in three weeks to whooping cough, will take a fresh look at Utah’s surprising medical history and some of the courageous and colorful women who dealt courageously with diphtheria epidemics of 1864, 1872, 1891, 1900, and 1947.

The panel is being moderated by Harriet Hopf, M.D., Professor, Department of Anesthesiology and Director of the University of Utah’s School of Medicine’s Women in Medicine and Science Program.

Local panelists include:

• Lisa Cannon-Albright, Ph.D., Professor Biomedical Informatics and Director of Genetic Epidemiology Division
• Lauren Clark, R.N., Ph.D., Professor, College of Nursing
• Kathleen Digre, M.D., Professor of Neurology and Ophthalmology, School of Medicine
• Karen Gunning, Pharm.D., Associate Professor, Director of the Primary Care Pharmacy Residency, College of Pharmacy
• Tricia Hauschild, MD, Resident, General Surgery

The National Library of Medicine exhibit, Changing the Face of Medicine: Celebrating American’s Women in Health Care, is on display from August 23 to October 7 on the main level of the library. The exhibit is an interesting examination of the women who have made a difference to the health and well being of the American public. Discover the women who have made a difference to general practice, public health, research, surgery, and more by visiting the exhibit. Open daily during regular library hours.

Please join us for a series of events related to rediscovering the libraries. The Spencer S. Eccles Health Sciences Library is hosting the National Library of Medicine’s Changing the Face of Medicine: Celebrating America’s Women in Health Care from August 23 to October 7 on the main level of the library.

Here in the Beehive State, our participation in this celebration is called “Utah Libraries SNAPSHOT DAY 2012: one day in the life of Utah Libraries.” All kinds of libraries — academic, public, bookmobiles, school, tribal and special libraries — will be recording with stories, photographs, and statistics the indisputable proof that libraries consistently provide invaluable services to our constituents.

Eccles Library’s designated “Snapshot Day” is today, April 11, 2012, and we will be documenting our service to the community in a variety of ways:

• Tracking basic statistics such as hours open, total visitors, items borrowed, etc.
• Inviting patrons to share brief testimonials of how libraries (and, specifically, Eccles Library) make a difference in their lives.
• Photographing (with written permission) patrons using library services and attending library programs.

A brief questionnaire is available at the front desk. Please take just a couple of minutes to share how Eccles Library has helped or supported your resource needs. All information gathered will be shared with the Utah State Library to document the positive impact libraries services make every day in communities statewide.

Libraries provide informative programming, and Eccles Library is no exception. Be sure to attend today’s LIFT Forum, where Jake O’Connor will speak on “How to Effectively Use YouTube in the Workplace.” More information is available in an earlier post and on LIFT Forum page.

“Science is changing and changing fast. Concepts like the data life cycle, data curation, translational science, high performance computing, and data sharing are having an impact on how science is conducted. At the same time, libraries are adjusting services to meet the needs of highly networked and technically savvy patron groups. eScience is a term that describes the dynamic re-shaping of collaboration and workflows in science and creating unique and important opportunities for librarianship. This presentation explores potential roles for librarians in eScience, how new collaborations might form, and the role of the libraries in the data life cycle.”

It includes the beliefs, behaviors, expectations, and experiences of individuals whose lives have been entwined with community and health care.

Ms. Pearce also has ties to the Mobile area and underwent her nursing education in the region. She trained with the Daughters of Charity who have long been devoted to the elimination of disparities in health care. Ms. Pearce will share with us some of her personal experience and insights gained from her involvement with this organization.

Mr. Ragon’s topic description: ‘Science is changing and changing fast. Concepts like the data life cycle, data curation, translational science, high performance computing, and data sharing are having an impact on how science is conducted. At the same time, libraries are adjusting services to meet the needs of highly networked and technically savvy patron groups. eScience is a term that describes the dynamic re-shaping of collaboration and workflows in science and creating unique and important opportunities for librarianship. This presentation explores potential roles for librarians in eScience, how new collaborations might form, and the role of the libraries in the data life cycle.”

A conversation break with light refreshments is scheduled from 2:00-2:30 in the EIHG atrium. At 2:30 at Meet the Experts panel convenes to further define and discuss issues related to eScience and eResearch. Panelists include: Bill Barnett, Ph.D., Steve Corbató, Ph.D., Donald McClain, M.D., Ph.D., Daureen Nesdill, M.L.I.S. and Ellie Phillipo; Bart Ragon moderates.
