What's Going on at the Library? - LibGuides at Roseman University of Health Sciences

This September, Roseman Library is excited to honor two important celebrations: Hispanic Heritage Month and Constitution Day. From September 15 to October 15, Hispanic Heritage Month celebrates the rich cultural contributions of Hispanic and Latino communities. The library will host a display with selections from our Fun Reading collection that highlight Hispanic authors.

In addition, on September 17, we will observe Constitution Day, commemorating the signing of the U.S. Constitution in 1787. We will be handing out free pocket constitutions at both campuses, to strengthen the civic engagement of the Roseman community.

The Library Hosts the Dead for Día de los Muertos

In many Hispanic cultures, the souls of relatives and ancestors are believed to return to the land of the living on November 1 and 2 to celebrate Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), sometimes also called Todos Santos (All Saints’ Day). Roseman University Library Altars (Henderson, left; South Jordan, right)This year, the Roseman University Library is honored to welcome the memories of our community’s loved ones at our campus ofrendas, collaboratively built with the Hispanic Student Dental Association in South Jordan and Business & Finance in Henderson.Day of the Dead is not the same as Halloween. It is a time to celebrate the memories of those who have passed and recognize that death is an integral part of life. Instead of a holiday for ghosts and frights, Día de los Muertos represents a joyful reunion and the continuation of a legacy. For many traditions in Latin America and the Philippines, the holiday is the result of blending indigenous and Catholic as a product of religious syncretism. Families gather, visit cemeteries, clean graves, and create ofrendas (altars) to welcome the deceased back with fruits, flowers, and their favorite items. On our altars, you will find photos, water, flowers, papel picado, and representations of favorite indulgences. There are so many resources to learn more about this holiday. Here are some favorites:National Museum of the American LatinoThe Mexican MuseumIf you miss someone and are unable to visit where they lay, please visit your campus library to print and place a photo.Special thanks to our friends in Business & Finance and the Hispanic Student Dental Association for their generous collaboration....

Alzheimer's Disease: New Horizons

Last night at the Neighborhood Health Series Dr. Steven Embley shared some reliable (and free) sources of online health information. Check out the full talk embedded above, or skip in to minute 15 to see what he has to say about searching for health information online. Here are the resources he shared: Clark County Library District, Health and Wellness page MedlinePlus from the National Library of Medicine Familydoctor.org from the American Academy of Family Physicians Mayo Clinic Health Information Dr. Embley makes the insightful point that quality health information will often be presented with words that seem to imply uncertainty...phrases like "associated with" "may cause" or "possible." This careful use of language should boost your confidence in the source, as it aims to present the evidence clearly rather than simply trying to persuade. What are some other places you like to search for quality health information online? Let us know in the comments. ...
