We're very pleased that the Library will be adding 50 new journal subscriptions to our collection for 2002. In addition we will be buying online access to a few additional titles.

How were the titles selected?

• Members of the UAMS Library Advisory Committee solicited recommendations from UAMS faculty
• Other recommendations from UAMS faculty and staff were considered
• Journal titles to support the new College of Public Health were given high priority
• Titles heavily requested by faculty and staff were considered after a review of interlibary loan statistics
• Current print journal titles were reviewed to determine if online subscriptions were affordable

Other factors that influenced the final selection are

• Indexing by Medline, CINAHL, International Pharmaceutical Abstracts, PsycINFO
• Campus wide online access
• Cost per use

Exhibit on UAMS Medical School at Old State House Museum

The UAMS medical school has not always been located on West Markham Street. There were four previous locations. The third location was actually at the Old State Capitol building. An exhibit is scheduled to open October 13, 2001 at the Old State House Museum that will document that period of time (1912 to 1935). The exhibit will enable visitors to compare life in medical school then with now. Many artifacts and documents from the UAMS Library's Historical Research Center are being used in the exhibit. Dr. Jonathan Wolfe, Associate Dean of Academic Affairs in the College of Pharmacy, and President of the History of Medicine Associates, is serving as curator of the exhibit. UAMS and the History of Medicine Associates are among the co-sponsors of the exhibit.

Make your plans to see the exhibit and experience medical school then. The exhibit is scheduled to be displayed for a year.
