Looking forward to new challenges.

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.
