New HSL CampusGuides: Nursing, Pharmacy, and Health Information Management

Posted on by

Three more CampusGuides have been published!  Nursing, Pharmacy, and Health Information Management are “hot off the press”.

The transition to CampusGuides is well underway.  The Health Sciences Library “Electronic Resources” topics are moving to the more user-friendly, robust CampusGuides interface during the 2011-2012 academic year.  Experience  the new and different look and feel.  CampusGuides incorporate search boxes, RSS Feeds, embedded media, surveys and can be easily accessed on mobile devices.

More topic guides will be coming soon.  As the topics transition to CampusGuides some will appear in the old interface and some in the new.  The links on the Electronic Resources page will be changed to lead directly to the new topic guide as they are developed.

We look forward to your feedback and suggestions to help make these topic guides as useful as possible.

The Henry R. Winkler Center publishes a newsletter twice a year, updating you on what is new (or in some cases very old!) and exciting in Cincinnati’s medical history. The Winkler Center Newsletter is available in print and on the web at:  www.libraries.uc.edu/hsl/history

Dr. Albert B. Sabin

Some highlights from this edition are a profile of Dr. Leon Goldman, a native Cincinnatian who is known as the “Father of Laser Medicine.”  Dr. Goldman’s archives, as well as his Medicine in Art Collection can be viewed at the Winkler Center.  There’s also an update on the work being done with Albert B. Sabin’s collection of correspondence and photographs, as well as Dr. Henry J. Heimlich’s archives. 

Another highlight in this edition is the annual Cecil Striker Society lecture that took place in May.  The topic dealt with military medicine in WWII, with a focus on the UC-staffed 25th General Hospital.  To view this lecture and find out more information about this topic, go to: http://www.libraries.uc.edu/hsl/history/exhibits/25thGeneralHospital/

So once again, the Winkler Center Newsletter is available in print on request (513-558-5120 or chhp@uc.edu) and on the web at: www.libraries.uc.edu/hsl/history

The Albert B. Sabin Digitization Project: What Do "Restricted" and "Confidential" Mean?

Posted on by

Letter from Colonel Stanhope Bayne-Jones to Dr. Sabin

In August 2011, I attended the Society of American Archivists annual meeting in Chicago, Illinois. While there, I attended a session called “Exploring the Evolution of Access: Classified, Privacy, and Proprietary Restrictions.” As I sat in the room listening to the speakers, I started to think how to apply these concepts to the Sabin digitization project.

For several weeks after the meeting, my colleagues and I had lively debates about how these concepts, as well as the recent SAA endorsed “Well-intentioned Practice for Putting Digitized Collections of Unpublished Materials Online” document, would affect the display of the Sabin materials online. On one hand, we recognize that Mrs. Sabin left Dr. Sabin’s important collection in our hands to ensure that this material is accessible to researchers around the world. On the other hand, we also recognized the need to do two things: 1.) protect the health information of those mentioned in the collection that participated in Dr. Sabin’s research, and 2.) make sure we don’t leak any classified government information online. Even though much of Dr. Sabin’s materials related to his research and his work with the military are considered “old” by some standards, it is still necessary to do our due diligence to protect information as needed.

The Albert B. Sabin Digitization Project: Dr. Sabin and Dr. Aring

Posted on by

Photograph of Dr. Aring, ca. 1969

Since I have started the next phase of the Sabin digitization project, I have encountered several letters between Dr. Sabin and Dr. Charles D. Aring, an internationally known neurologist who served as a professor and department chairman in the University of Cincinnati’s Department of Neurology from 1948-1974. It turns out that one of the Winkler Center student assistants, Miranda Scharf has been working to update the EAD-compatible finding aid for the Charles D. Aring papers, which reside in our archives. (Be on the lookout for an official announcement in the Winkler Center blog soon!) I thought I would highlight some materials in both of their manuscript collections to give you an idea of their relationship. Continue reading →

The Albert B. Sabin Digitization Project: Finding Aid Now Available

Posted on by

Rio de Janeiro, 1981 - Children presenting Dr. Sabin wtih a cake for his 75th birthday.

As mentioned in a previous blog post, the Sabin project student assistant Megan and I have been diligently working on creating a tool to help researchers find information in the Hauck Center for the Albert B. Sabin Archives and help them gain access to the materials in the collection. In the archival profession, we refer to this type of tool as a “finding aid.”

Today, we are happy to announce that the finding aid for the Albert B. Sabin Archives can now be found in the OhioLINK Finding Aid Repository! To access the finding aid, please follow the link below:

Finding aid for the Albert B. Sabin Papers, 1930-1993

By creating this tool using Encoded Archival Description (EAD), this finding aid is now completely searchable, which will allow our online visitors to search our collection much easier. We hope that this will help users across the globe have a better understanding of the materials we have. As we delve further into the Sabin digitization project, this finding aid will be updated to reflect any changes.

If you see material listed in the finding aid that you may be interested in, please contact the Henry R. Winkler Center at (513) 558-5120 or chhp@uc.edu. Continue reading →
