Archives & Rare Books Commemorates the Start of the Civil War
Stephen Foster's Civil War song, “Was My Brother in the Battle?”
By Janice Schulz
On April 12, 2011, our country will recognize the 150th anniversary of the start of the Civil War and to commemorate it, the Archives & Rare Books Library has mounted an exhibit highlighting our materials related to the war and the corresponding time period. Documents in the exhibit have been chosen from several of our collecting areas, including Rare Books, Urban Studies, and Local Government Records.
Examples from our collection of composer Stephen Foster’s material begin the exhibit. With stirring titles such as “Was My Brother in the Battle?” and “Willie’ll Roam No Moer,” his Civil War songs have been published with full color drawings that offer a visual image of their themes, providing a combination that must have appealed powerfully to Northern sensibilities.

Dinosaur Sculpture Looms Large in Langsam Library
Langsam Library is the new home for Triceracopter – an impressive half triceratops, half helicopter 30-foot sculpture.
Created in 1977 by artist Patricia A. Renick to commemorate the U.S. Bicentennial, Triceracopter: The Hope for the Obsolescence of War combines the form of a triceratops dinosaur with an Army OH6A Cayuse combat helicopter flown in Vietnam. Although a triceratops and a helicopter are unlikely candidates for a single sculpture, the artist has combined them to invite wonder and nudge reflective thinking.
New System for Requesting Articles and Books
The Health Sciences Library has moved to a new system (Illiad) for requesting articles and books. To access the system, look for the Request Article/Books link on the left side of the Health Sciences Library’s web page (http://www.libraries.uc.edu/hsl). Use your UC central login credentials to access the system. Once you log into the Illiad system for the first time, you will be prompted to complete a profile. You will only need to complete the profile one time. Illiad will store the information for use on all future requests.
If you have any questions about this or experience any problems, please contact Lorna Newman, Head of Interlibrary Loan Services and Government Documents (lorna.newman@uc.edu or x61885) or Gerry Wagner, HSL Interlibrary Loan and Document Delivery (gerry.wagner@uc.edu or x88389).
Introducing Images, a New Database of Images in Biomedical Literature from the National Institutes of Health
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) introduces Images, a new resource of images in Biomedical Literature. This collection of more than 2.5 million images and figures are from medical and life sciences journals contained in NCBI’s PubMed Central full-text digital archive of biomedical and life sciences journal literature.
The Images database is expected to have a wide range of uses for a variety of user groups. These include the clinician looking for the visual representation of a disease or condition, the researcher searching for studies with certain types of analyses, the student seeking diagrams that elucidate complex processes such as DNA replication, the professional or educator looking for an image for a presentation, and the patient wanting to better understand his disease.
The Images database is available at <http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/images>. There is also a link to it on the Health Sciences Library “Online Images” page at http://libraries.uc.edu/hsl/reference/elec/digitalimages.cfm.
See the NIH News Release at http://www.nih.gov/news/health/oct2010/nlm-28.htm.
