The Green Initiatives Committee of the UT Health Science Center is planning

events on April 20-21 to help spread the word about green practices that will

promote sustainability on our campus and at home. Activities will include a noon

presentation on April 20 from NuRide, which offers rewards to members who walk,

bike, carpool or use public transportation to get to work.

On April 21, 11:00 a.m. 2:00 p.m., a Go Green Fair will be held in the Pestana

Lecture Hall Foyer. It will feature exhibitors including SAWS, San Antonio River

Authority (SARA), State of Texas Alliance for Recycling (STAR), VIA, and Solar San

Antonio, among others. These exhibitors will be available to explain how everyone

can promote green practice.

At the Go Green Fair, librarians from the Briscoe Library will demonstrate the

National Library of Medicines Environmental Health & Toxicology databases

(http://sis.nlm.nih.gov/enviro.html ). The library has recently revived its Green

Team. One of the teams immediate objectives is to prepare an interactive, 3-D

exhibit on ways to protect the environment and conserve energy. The Green Team

promotes the concept of Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. One of the initiatives in the

works is installation of a box for collecting used batteries in the Briscoe Library, a

collaboration with the Office of Environmental Health and Safety. More

information is available on The Libraries Web site, or check out our pageon

Facebook.

The first Earth Day was celebrated on April 22, 1970, and has been observed on this date every year since.

Earth Day is now observed globally to raise awareness about environmental issues and impact public

attitudes. On campus, Health Science Center students in 2007 proposed to the administration some instances

where the university could reduce energy use and save money. The Health Science Center created a Green

Initiatives Committee to develop recommendations for reducing the universitys impact on the environment

while also cutting costs. On April 22, 2009, the campus celebrated Earth Day by planting trees on the lawn at

the corner of Floyd Curl and Medical Drive. In the weeks following that event, recycling sorting bins were

installed in buildings all over campus. The Briscoe Library was one of the first buildings to take delivery of the

recycling bins. AGo GreenWeb site was created that now includes the location of recycling bins on the Long

Campus, and a growing list of accomplishments and plans for green initiatives and projects on Health Science

Center campuses. One of these projects is installation of solar panels at the South Texas Research Facility,

which is currently under construction.

For more information, visit the Go Green Web site (http://gogreen.uthscsa.edu/ ) or to keep up with

developments, Like the Go-Green-UT Health Science SApage on Facebook.

History of medicine lecture series continues

Beyond Bugs and Drugs: Infectious Disease Discovery and Epidemiology

HantavirusThursday, April 28, 12:00 noon to 1:00 p.m.

Howe Conference Room, Briscoe Library

In May of 1993, members of the Navajo Nation in the

Fours Corners area of the United States were stricken

by a deadly pneumonia of unknown cause. In less than

two months, investigators from the CDC determined

the infection was due to a new virus related to theHantaan virus of Asia. The infection was spread to

humans by exposure to rodent excreta.

The Four Corners area had a population explosion of

rodents in 1993 due to an El Nino climate event, which

caused an abnormally high level of precipitation.

Subsequently, it was discovered that many other

species of Hantaviruses were lurking in the rodents of

the New World.

The spring lecture series, Beyond Bugs and Drugs:Infectious Disease Discovery and Epidemiology,

sponsored by the Friends of the P.I. Nixon Medical Historical Library and the Briscoe Library, continues on

April 28. In the third talk of the series Dr. Gregory Anstead of the School of Medicine, director of the

Immunosuppression and Infectious Diseases clinics of the South Texas Veterans Healthcare System, will

explore the rapid discovery of the etiology and reservoir ecology of Hantavirus as evidence of the power of

epidemiology and molecular diagnostics.

As always, the event is free and open to everyone. Please bring your lunch and join us!

For more information about the spring lecture series, contact Pennie Borchers, Special Collections Librarian,

at [email protected].

Allen Press, a scholarly journal publisher, has released its 2010 Study ofSubscription Prices for Scholarly Journals. Price trends for journals were

based on a group of approximately 250 publications appearing in the Allen

Press Buyers Guide to Scientific, Medical, and Scholarly Journals TM.

Among the findings outlined in the report:

Since 1989, prices for US society journals have increased, on average,7.3% annually.

For each of the past three years, average price increases for US-basedjournals have hovered around 6%, more than a full percentage pointlower than the historical average.

The average price increase of non-US-based journals was nearly a full percentage point higher than US-based journals.

Most of the titles in the study are peer-reviewed journals. Prices of peer-reviewed titles increased by anannual average of 6.5% from 2009 to 2011.

In all years since 1989, increases in journal prices are higher than the increase in the Consumer PriceIndex.

The report details efforts by library organizations and libraries to control costs due to increased subscription

costs and diminishing library budgets. It also documents the Medical Library Associations efforts to

assemble a list of publishers that have frozen 2011 prices at 2010 levels.

The full report is free and can be downloaded from http://allenpress.com/resources/education/jps .

Safeguarding the librarys collection: Security exit procedure

Library staff are charged to safeguard the library collections. The Briscoe

Library exit gate is designed to detect the removal of library materials. An

alarm will sound if any library item passes through the gate. To avoid the alarm

sounding, materials should be passed to Circulation Desk staff prior to walking

through the exit gate. Circulation staff will then return the materials after

checking the items borrowed status.

If the alarm sounds, you will be stopped by Circulation staff and asked to check

for library materials in your possession. This ensures that items are properly

checked out. We hope that this will reduce the number of overdue and missing

books.

Library staff wants to be sure that materials are available for the widest possible

use. Thank you for assisting us in preserving our library collection. If you have

any suggestions or concerns regarding this procedure, please contact Chris

Gaspard at [email protected] (210) 567-2429.

National Public Health Week is April 4-11National Public Health Week (NPHW) is April 4-10. This years themeis Safety is NO Accident, and the focus of the week will be oneducating citizens about preventing injuries at home, at work, and in thecommunity.

The American Public Health Association (APHA, http://apha.org),organizer of NPHW, develops a national campaign to educate the public, policy-makers and practitionersabout issues related to each years theme. APHA creates comprehensive planning, organizing and outreachmaterials that can be used to raise awareness.

The National Public Health Week Web site encourages assessment of home, workplace, and communityspaces for easily-remedied hazards such as:

Maintaining fire alarms

Changing burnt-out light bulbs

Covering electrical outlets in homes with small children

Understanding national and state laws on workplace safety

Joining the neighborhood watch association.

RefWorks, the popular bibliographic management tool, has launched the beta version

of its new RefWorks 2.0 interface. The core functions of RefWorks storing references

in an online repository, creating bibliographies, and information sharing and

collaboration are all enhanced through the improved interface.

RefWorks users who are comfortable with the current version should have little trouble

adapting to the new version, which makes use of icons, tabs, and a Quick List for easy

navigation. Editing references by browsing your computer and adding attachments like

links to PDF articles or a JPG are even easier than before.

Sometime this spring, RefWorks 2.0 will become the default interface for Health

Science Center RefWorks users; however, the classic version will continue to beavailable. All references stored in current accounts will be accessible through the new

interface, so current users will not lose any information.

If you want to test drive the new interface before it becomes the default for our site, you

will need to create a newtest account at

http://www.refworks.com/refworks2/?r=authentication::init&groupcode=RW2Beta .

Remember that this account is not linked to your classic RefWorks account through UT

Health Science Center at this time.
