Stop by the Library to See the New Exhibit:

"Humanizing Care of the Mentally Ill" is the theme for the Library new exhibit in the foyer of the Jesse H. Jones Library Building.  Philippe Pinel, Benjamin Rush and other defenders of the insane against inhuman treatment are highlighted in the exhibit.  A few rare books from the McGovern Historical Collections are included, along with some leather restraints used in 19th Century American insane asylums.

 

Index Medicus to Cease Publication:

The printed Index Medicus, which has been published for 125 consecutive years, will cease at the end of 2004. Previously considered an indispensable tool for health professionals and librarians, it is now a seldom used alternative to PubMed® and other Internet-based products that contain the database from which Index Medicus has been generated for nearly 40 years.
