President's MessageBy Eileen H. Stanley, Midwest Chapter President A gentle nudge from our newsletter editor moved me to begin writing this column as my first official task as 2006 President of the Midwest Chapter. The trail I follow is clearly marked and well defined by my esteemed predecessors, Sheryl Stevens, Melinda Orebaugh, and Kellie Kaneshiro. Their example and dedication are my models and I plan to serve you as well and efficiently as they did. To begin this year, a record warm January for Minnesota, I want to lay out some plans, invite some input and encourage your involvement in this, your regional professional association. There are some ongoing initiatives that I am lucky enough to be able to see to fruition, the first being our bylaws revision and governing board reorganization. That work is under way with significant progress reported at our Spring Board Meeting. Another is the revamping of our chapter awards with a newly redesigned award to be given this fall. With some of the changes in our committee chairs will come new ideas, new efforts and hopefully improvements in some of our key communications and information delivery technologies. Our current MLA president, M.J. Tooey, has laid out her priorities for the 2005-2006 presidential year and I will be looking for ways our chapter’s goals and priorities can support M.J.’s theme of “Transforming Ourselves, Our Profession, Our Association.” In a quick rundown, “Transforming Ourselves” relates to professional growth and I hope all of you find your own special way to volunteer and contribute to the profession, and also enhance your careers. “Transforming Our Profession” is the path to exploring new roles and opportunities, recruiting new members to both the chapter and the profession and promoting yourselves, your libraries and your expertise. Last is “Transforming Our Association” with M.J.’s efforts focused on MLANET redesign, education and research agenda updates and increasing member involvement in all levels of association business. Right here is where I want to speak up and ask all of you to consider yourselves ad hoc committee members for the purpose of reorganizing our chapter governing group and redefining our mission. Education and networking have been our primary goals for many years, but I’d like to see us do more to enhance each others’ reputations with administrators, physicians and community organizations. Any ideas you may have to help achieve this are welcome! And I’d like to tell you a little more about myself and the types of activities I’m involved in currently. I’m sure some of the votes cast my way were based on name recognition, but with little real knowledge of me, since I’ve only been a member of the chapter for the past four years. In the past three years I’ve served as a Journal of the Medical Library Association reviewer, a member of the Benchmarking Editorial Task Force (to provide the perspective of a hospital system librarian), and last December, I was one of a handful of hospital librarians invited to be on one of the NLM 2006-2016 Strategic Planning Panels. My panel’s focus is clinical and public health information systems. We will conclude our work later this spring. At Allina, I lead a department of more than a dozen library staff with multiple service sites. We work closely with our electronic medical record development group, provide training in evidence-based practice, and are facing significant challenges this year with last minute budget cuts and growing service expectations. We also moved two of our libraries to new locations and documented the over 100-year history of one of our libraries. I’m excited by the challenges this coming year will be bringing my way and hope to meet, talk with, and share thoughts with many of you as we move through 2006. |

Long known as home to the Kentucky Derby, the city of Louisville offers excitement, affordability, accessibility, and fun. As a center for arts, history, shopping, sports, dining, and as the departure point for excursions into the lovely bluegrass and horse country, Louisville offers more than you’ll be able to possibly do. When you think of Kentucky, you think of white picket fences, rolling fields, and galloping horses. If you can't enjoy the thundering hooves of the world's fastest thoroughbreds during race season, you can enjoy tours of Churchill Downs and the pageantry of the Kentucky Derby year-round at the Kentucky Derby Museum.
But it isn't just horse racing that the city of Louisville, Kentucky is known for. There are more than 120 Louisville attractions to enjoy year-round. Visitors to downtown Louisville can enjoy four major family attractions within just blocks of one another. The Louisville Slugger Museum is home to the world's largest baseball bat and features exhibits and a factory tour. The Louisville Science Center recently completed a $7.6 million exhibit, "The World Within Us," about the intricacies of the human body. Glassworks, a space designed to showcase the work of 50 glass artists, and the Frazier Historical Arms Museum round out the available entertainment opportunities.
If you have an artistic bent, hit the galleries, art museums, and the nationally famous St. James Art Fair. Come to the meeting a day early and enjoy a gallery crawl during the First Friday Gallery Hop through downtown’s art district. Hop on a trolley and work your way through all the local artists have to offer. If you miss the hop, head to the Speed Art Museum with it’s fine collection ranging from the Renaissance to modern, including nationally-known visiting shows.
If you care to create your own art, don’t miss Baer Fabrics, the largest button and fabric store outside New York City. Four warehouse floors of fabrics and notions will provide you ample treasures to create your own works of art. On another thread, Louisville is home to the headquarters of the National Embroiderers Guild. Check out their museum and library in the historic Brown Hotel. A thimble-sized gem, if there ever was one.
This is the first in a series of articles introducing you to Louisville; articles to whet your appetite and help you make your plans. We’re just hitting the highlights, must-see attractions, and hidden gems now, but stay tuned for more. Get ready for a little Southern Exposure, A Different Point of View.

The most important part of any meeting of medical librarians is the papers and posters presented by our professional colleagues. The 2006 Annual Conference Program Committee is excited to announce the call for papers and poster presentations for our meeting in Louisville, Kentucky, October 7-11, 2006. We especially want to encourage new chapter members, those new to the profession or new to medical librarianship to submit their work. Library school students with an interest in pursuing careers in medical librarianship are also encouraged to submit.
Presenting a paper or a poster at a professional meeting promotes scholarship among medical librarians in areas of interest to the profession, provides a creative outlet for medical librarians and a forum for their scholarly activities, and recognizes the scholarly efforts of established members, new members, and potential members of the profession.
Presenting a paper or a poster at a chapter meeting is a good way to:
-
become involved in Chapter activities
-
immediately feel a part of the group
-
meet and network with members
-
see the Chapter and its activities from a different point of view
Presenting a paper or a poster at a chapter meeting is good for first-time attendees because chapter meetings impart a welcoming, non-threatening presentation atmosphere, and the meeting size is just right: not so large that it is overwhelming, not so small that there won’t be enough people to attend your presentation.
While our theme is Southern Exposure: A Different Point of View, papers on any topic relevant to the improvement of medical librarianship will be considered. Express your different point of view in a paper or poster presentation. Paper presentations should be prepared to last 20 minutes. Posters will be presented in the Exhibit Hall on Monday, October 9th.
Structured abstracts are welcome but not required. Including details and specifics about what you intend to present will improve the quality of your submission. Be clear; use good grammar. The proposal submission form can be found on the Midwest Chapter website at: http://www.midwestmla.org/Currentconference/Proposal_form.htm.
Submissions will be peer-reviewed by the program committee. The submission deadline is April 15. Notices of acceptance or rejection will be e-mailed on or about May 1. Submit proposals to Michel Atlas at mcatlas@louisville.edu, or call 502 852-8534.

Management Section Membership Committee
University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas, TX
brian.bunnett@utsouthwestern.edu
The Leadership and Management Section (LMS) is one of the largest and most active of the MLA’s twenty-three sections. At its founding in 1948 the section was known as the Medical School Libraries Group. It was established to provide medical school librarians more opportunities to discuss issues of common interest and concern.
The group was not particularly active at first – its only regularly scheduled activity was a luncheon or dinner held during the annual meeting of the MLA. Some significant problems beset the group at its inception, most notably a lack of visibility and focus. The interests of the Medical School Libraries Group did not seem that much different from the interests of many of the MLA’s other sections and SIGs or from the Association of Academic Health Sciences Library Directors (AAHSLD).
Largely to address this overlap with other sections and to create a more unique focus the Group was renamed the Leadership and Membership Section in 2000. By doing so the LMS would no longer draw its members only from medical school libraries. It also created a forum, where none existed before, solely dedicated to discussing the challenges of leadership and management. The fact that there were 369 members in the section by 2005 suggests that this new direction has a broad appeal.
The growth of the LMS since 2000 is evident in this increase in its membership as well as in the varied resources it makes available to these members. Foremost among these is its fine newsletter, The Leading Edge, [http://www.lms.mlanet.org/newsletter.html] that provides its readers with book reviews, short articles, case studies, and section news; the section’s listserv allows its subscribers to share information and network in a more casual forum. The LMS also actively sponsors and contributes to grants designed to promote leadership and management. Educational programs offered at MLA annual meetings have always been strength of the section. LMS conviviality and social activities, another strength of the section, allow members numerous opportunities for further networking.
The LMS is similarly rich in its projects and initiatives. Noteworthy in this area is its ambitious effort to advance the careers of middle managers. The Task Force on Professional Development for Current and Aspiring Middle Managers (PDCAMM) recently surveyed over 900 medical librarians, including 400 middle managers, in order to identify how to best prepare this group for positions in upper management.
The LMS has evolved into a mature, active, even dynamic section with a well defined focus that appeals to many MLA members. If you are interested in improving your management abilities and in advancing your career prospects, then you will find that membership in the LMS will help you to realize your professional aspirations.
More information about the LMS is available on its Web page at http://www.lms.mlanet.org/. A membership application form is available at: http://www.lms.mlanet.org/join_us_form.html.

All members of the Medical Library Association are encouraged to participate in the Oral History Program as interviewers, editors, or transcribers. If you are interested in any of these roles, contact Richard Nollan, Project Director, rnollan@utmem.edu. This work is truly valuable and fascinating! If you attended Fred Roper’s Janet Doe Lecture at the annual meeting in San Antonio, you heard clips from oral history interviews and know firsthand what gems they are. For more information about the program and its own history, names of those interviewed, and how to access interviews already done, see the oral history page at MLANET at http://www.mlanet.org/about/history/oral_history.html.

Allina Hospitals & Clinics, Minneapolis, MN

What’s the world coming to? For several years we’ve seen news of hospital libraries facing unanticipated budgets cuts, staff cuts, and even eliminations. Handbooks on how to handle ‘downsizing’ have even been written for library managers and directors. But it never seems real until it happens to you. Well, it happened to me and my colleagues at Allina this year.
I’ve decided to write about our recent woes and the way we’re handling our unplanned changes going forward. What I’d like from you is to hear your stories as well, and to pick up some names of colleagues around the country who are taking some positive, proactive actions to improve their library’s standing and recover from challenges of this sort.
In December, I was asked to reduce my budget, in the form of FTE’s, by nearly 50%. This was done just as budgets were locked in; and my turnaround time for a plan to be drafted was one week. Conversations about the need for a long term strategic plan had occurred just a few weeks earlier. As I began to reason with my boss about the impacts that would have, it became obvious that some critical information had not been considered. While every department considers itself unique and critical to its enterprise, we have some unique qualities that created hurdles for implementing a planned reduction of the magnitude requested without jeopardizing the department’s entire existence. One of these factors was the external revenue we generated that was used to offset operating costs. Another factor was the mix of personnel to materials that our budget contained.
In the end, after almost two months of negotiating, we’ve settled on a 25% cut through a combination of attrition, position eliminations, and voluntary FTE reductions. We’re now spending the next two months preparing a long range plan to take to our executive leadership to endorse and commit to funding so that this won’t happen again in 2007. All of the professional librarians on the staff are involved in reviewing the literature and the environment, ranking functions for the library of the future, and preparing to adjust to new needs, skill requirements, and workflow. If all goes well, we’ll be creating a detailed operating plan at the beginning of the second quarter.
All of this came as we moved one of our operations sites (not a library at the time) to our new corporate headquarters with a newly designed Knowledge Management Center waiting for us to put our mark on it. So while we’re designing the Library of the Future we’ll also be looking at how we can partner with the corporate departments that support the clinical business units with Human Resources, Information Services, Finance, Communications, and all the other departments whose contribution to knowledge management is necessary to the success of our organization.
2006 has started off with a bang and I can’t wait to see where we end up at the end of the year. How’s it going for you?

Everywhere you look, Midwest Chapter members are developing new services, implementing new technology, and reaching out to meet the needs of their clients. Here is a small sample of the exciting projects presented at the Poster Session of the 2005 Midwest Chapter Annual Conference in Fargo, North Dakota.
Reaching Out With Banned Books
By Linda E. Bunyan
Summa Health System Library, Akron, OH
bunyanl@summa-health.org
The staff of the Medical Library of Summa Health System announced a hospital book club in the fall of 2004, to begin in January, 2005. The reading list was inspired by 100 Banned Books, issued in 1999, recently updated as 120 Banned Books.
The library staff chose Uncle Tom’s Cabin for our first book. We distributed the list of 100 books to those at the initial meeting, and they voted for three books from each category – religious, sexual, social, and political. Participants volunteer to lead one discussion per year. The library staff provides the leader with research related to the book’s controversy, biographical material on the author, and other pertinent information to support the discussion. A core of a dozen people participates in the book group, representing Medical Education, Nursing Staff Development, Medical Records, middle management, and specialty units, in addition to Medical Library staff. Those attending receive a colorful library bookmark each month, usually seasonal. In September, for example, we distributed bookmarks and buttons commemorating Banned Books Week.
The Summa Book Group has generated publicity for the Medical Library through monthly announcements in the employee newsletter, on the employee webpage, Summa@Work, and in colorful posters on bulletin boards at various hospital locations. The book group reaches people who otherwise are not aware of the Medical Library and has increased our “name recognition,” while offering a fun and unexpected stream of publicity for the library on a regular basis.
Accessing Electronic Journals in a Hospital Library
By Kolleen Olsen
Allina Library Services, Minneapolis, MN
kolleen.olsen@allina.com
Allina Hospitals and Clinics is a multi-hospital health system with 5 physical library sites. As our electronic journal holdings began to rapidly increase, management became challenging. Our growing collection, which included 120 titles in 2000, has over 2000 titles in 2006.
By 2002 with the growth in electronic availability, our paper list of titles was no longer sufficient. Providing one source for direct access to our electronic journals was becoming a significant need, so that our physician, hospital, and clinic community, plus library staff, could quickly see and access what was available. For optimal use of our relatively small electronic collection, we required an affordable management tool that was not labor intensive. We decided to add Serials Solutions A-Z list as a resource tool in 2003 and included 3 databases. This has expanded to include electronic titles from 23 databases/publishers in 2006. Besides our paid subscriptions, we are able to include a wealth of free resources, such as PubMed Central, that greatly enhance our hospital library collection.
Our A-Z list is the beginning point in providing our users with access to our electronic journals. Article Linker was added in 2005 to provide open linking. From our intranet, the internet, our online catalog, our A-Z list, Google Scholar, and PubMed, our physicians and employees are able to access the electronic content that the library provides, greatly expanding and adding value to library services, while providing time-sensitive access and meeting the needs/demands of our users.
Collaborating on the Roll Out of a Web Content Management
System
at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center
By Edith Starbuck
Health Sciences Library, University of Cincinnati Medical Center, OH
edith.starbuck@uc.edu
The purpose of the poster I prepared for the Medical Library Association Midwest Chapter meeting in Fargo, ND was to describe the following: a content management system, why one was chosen for the University of Cincinnati (UC), and how the UC Academic Information Technology and Libraries (AIT&L) web group and I, a librarian, collaborated to roll it out within the UC Medical Center. In 2004, UC chose to invest in a content management, Serena Collage, to be used for all university web sites. A content management system (CMS) makes it easy to edit and create web pages, add images and links, associate metadata, and keep track of workflow and approval. Permissions may be set to determine who may edit, create or publish web pages. The university’s goal was to standardize web site maintenance, provide a tool easy enough for content editors to use fairly independently, and to be able to share information across colleges, departments, divisions, and other organizations within the university.
UC web departments were charged with migrating existing web sites to CMS, creating new web sites in CMS, and training department content editors. Because I had been sporadically training content web editors for the AIT&L web group as they created or reworked medical department web sites, they asked me to do the CMS training component. This was the first time we collaborated on an ongoing project. As the CMS trainer, I waited for the web group to learn CMS, create or migrate websites, and set up permissions. I then created a site specific handout and trained the department content editors at their own workstations. The web group provided troubleshooting support and answered any questions about CMS that I couldn’t answer.
The web group and I worked well together for the most part; questions were answered quickly, technical issues were resolved in a timely manner, and the training sessions went well. It was challenging at times to meet deadlines; the web group was understaffed and over-committed, and I wasn’t always available to train when the web sites were ready. We learned how important it is to communicate, be flexible, and set more realistic deadlines.
Many thanks go to the members of the web group who collaborate with me on this ongoing CMS implementation at the UC Medical Center: Josette Riep, Anshul Sharma, and Savio Reddimasu.
A Grants Information Service
By Paul Blobaum
Governors State University Library, University Park, IL
p-blobaum@govst.edu
Governors State University is a small upper-division university in the south suburbs of Chicago. Over 6,000 students in bachelor’s completion and master’s degree programs attend classes at the University Park campus, online, or at numerous cohort group locations. Founded in 1969, the university’s primary mission is teaching and service, and is among the most affordable in Illinois. The university has depended heavily upon state appropriations as a primary funding source.
Pending the establishment of an external funding office, the University Provost looked to the University Library to provide information and resources on grants to the campus, especially by distributing grant announcement alerts received through membership in the Grants Resource Center of the Association of State Colleges and Universities.
The Grants Information Service of the University Library was implemented in 2003. Grants alerts are distributed to interested faculty and staff across campus via email, based on grant writing interests. Mediated grants information searches are conducted by a faculty librarian upon request, and two grants databases are available for end user searching through the library’s Journals/Databases web page. The Grants Information librarian coordinator maintains a bibliography of grant writing resources, the Grants Information web page, and a promotional brochure. The Grants Information librarian will implement a series of introduction to grant writing workshops in early Spring 2006.
