Dear Staff,
As we wind down another year let me tell you it has been a pleasure working with you and learning what your needs and wants of the library are. I do hope to go up on the floors after the first of the year and share more about the online catalog, the databases, how to access it from remote locations and many of the other aspects that have been developed over the past year. There are over 4,000 full text databases, journals, and books on the catalog now. I hope with the addition of EBSCO A-Z to add another 2,000. I am on the schedule to present the online catalog again this next year and by that time hope I have been to all the floors and departments with demonstrations. The catalog is for everyone, not just the nursing staff and physicians. I am in the process of writing up a small brochure to pass out at orientation meetings and to anyone who wishes one to give you all the addresses, username/passwords, and anything else that would be of interest.
This next year I will not only be calling all nursing departments for their orders of the PDR and NDH, but also will let you know that a copy of "Nursing Standards and Scope of Practice" will be added to your floor libraries as part of you package from the Nursing Administration. Hopefully you will find this new book a great addition to your department.
The Magnet Designation is continually growing on the wiki, please check it out. If you have any questions, concerns, or wish to help call Dawn Bailey x68583 or Joy Frame x68971.
If you have CME topics you wish for the committee to look into, or a presenter you wish to hear, or if you would like to present, please write me at jtallman@cchseast.org or call me at x67727 (216-692-7727).
Have a wonderful and safe New Year.
