Going to Philadelphia in April for AAHM?
If you’re attending the American Association for the History of Medicine annual meeting, join curators and reference librarians from leading academic medical libraries for lunch on Saturday. These subject specialists will discuss the digital resources, websites and databases, they consult when responding to research questions. Among the sources under discussion will be the Medical Heritage Library.
This will also be an opportunity to learn about digital scholarship in the history of medicine itself and discuss the creative use of emerging resources.
The lunch talk features:
Stephen Novak, Head, Archives and Special Collections, Columbia University Medical Center;
Michael North, Head of the Rare Books & Early Manuscripts Section in the History of Medicine Division of the National Library of Medicine;
Jack Eckert, Public Services Librarian, Center for the History of Medicine, Countway Medical Library;
Lori Jahnke, S. Gordon Castigliano CLIR Fellow, the College of Physicians of Philadelphia;
Jeremy Greene, Assistant Professor of the History of Science, Harvard University.
