Web Gallery
Plan to visit the Web Gallery: The Access Horizon website. The health sciences community is in need of permanent, reliable, stable and Internet-accessible repositories of relevant, peer-reviewed, full-text research. The Web Gallery offers links to the people and institutions that are driving the development of such resources. In addition, it also presents search results that highlight University of Utah authors who have published in open access journals.
The Clifford C. Snyder, M.D. and Mary Snyder Lectureship
Dr. Clifford C. Snyder, Professor of Surgery, founded the Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at the University of Utah School of Medicine in 1967 and served as chair of that division until 1985 when he was appointed Professor Emeritus of Surgery and Associate Dean of the School of Medicine. Throughout his career, Dr. Snyder has been an ardent supporter of the library. Dr. Snyder's endowment of The Clifford C. Snyder, M.D. and Mary Snyder Lectureship provides funding for the featured presentation at InfoFair.
