Dear Staff,
It has been a couple of weeks since I wrote last, but it does not mean I have been stagnant. The Cleveland Clinic Health System Library Council has been emailing and working on the catalogs, wikis and blogs so that by the end of the summer things will be as user friendly as we can make them at this time. We are also looking at different programs so accessibility to the catalogs, databases and websites will be easier without having to think of usernames and passwords.
As for CME, the next meeting is July 14 and if you think of a topic that you would like to hear more about or have a speaker in mind, maybe even yourself, who would like to speak, please email me so I can present this to the committee. jtallman@cchseast.org
Have you had time yet this summer to check out the catalog and see the books and journals that are now full text? Many of them are and I hope to have more up by the end of the summer.
Magnet is upon us and I know the introduction was in the recent newsletter. This will be a great challenge and will involve the entire hospital. You may not think it will effect you, but I believe that by the time we have the final inspection everyone will have worked on some part of this project. Do not dismay, I believe we can do this and with all of us together, as the family we are, we will succeed.
Hope you are all having a good summer with your family and friends. I have changed the font in this post, hopefully it will be easier to read.

Changes in the Wiki
Dear Staff,
As we all know, nothing stays the same forever. Sometimes there are moments that we wish would, but alas, they never do. This is the same thing as I am revising and trying to make this blog, wiki, and catalog better for you and easier to use. I have made changes to the wiki so the pages, on the left side, are easier to find. First I put them in alphabetical order, CME is first and that way it will be easier for you to find the upcoming schedules. Also I have added a Nursing Library page showing the new books and a new journal that have come for the nurses in the past year. Hopefully you will find these new materials helpful. The Physician Library has all of their new additions listed and so this will be the end for 2008, but feel free to add your ideas for 2009. The page that said Good links for Librarians is now called Good links to Explore. It has direct links to public libraries, websites for health information and also to the new catalog for the Euclid Catalog. Please feel free to look around. Remember that UpToDate has to be used on campus, but you can email articles to your own account. Also the Nursing Resource is on the Intranet and cannot be accessed off campus either. It is made up of EBSCO, which is CINAL and StatRef. EBSCO can be accessed off campus and if you contact me I will tell you the username and password for remote access to StatRef.
I believe these are all the changes I have made so far. Looking forward to sharing all of this with you on October 2 in CME that morning.

Changes during the summer.
Dear Staff,
I was off for a week of vacation after the last CME finished and want to tell you about some changes that have occurred in the library during this time.
First of all, I decided not to hold you in suspense as to the CME presentation line up until this fall and so on the linked wiki of Phoenix Rising I have added a page that will let you know the title of the upcoming programs and the speakers that will be presenting them. In cases where the speaker does not yet know which of their list of topics they want to present, it will say TBA and I will change it as soon as I know.
Second, for those of you who what to know what new books are coming into the library, these are also listed. If you have suggestions for books or journals for the library, please contact me. Again the email is:
jtallman@cchseast.org .
The page titled Good Websites for Librarians, is not exclusive, it has medical websites and links to local public libraries. Please feel free to look around.
The one most exciting item is that the libraries of CCHS have gotten together and thanks to Michelle from the main campus, have a website that you can go to, to access all the libraries. There are links on both this blog and the wiki page to get you back to the main library website. We hope this will help in your searching for your medical needs.
I do hope you are all having a good break during this summer and I look forward to seeing you all again on September 11 at our first CME this fall. Dr. Mladen Golubic will be presenting "Optimal Diet for Cancer Prevention and Treatment".
