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.

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 Roseman Library would like to extend an invitation to all of you to attend the EndNote Essentials Workshop on September 12 from 12pm to 1pm Mountain Time (11am to 12pm Pacific Time). It will take place in Classroom 100 on the South Jordan Campus.

EndNote is a handy citation management software that helps you organize and keep track of all your research sources. It allows you to easily store, manage, and format your references and bibliographies, saving you time and effort when writing papers or creating reports.

The EndNote Essentials workshop is designed to provide faculty, students, and research assistants with a solid foundation in using EndNote for managing references and citations. Attendees will learn how to set up and customize their EndNote library, import and organize references, and seamlessly integrate Endnote with Microsoft Word.

A librarian will also be available in person to help troubleshoot any issues that you are having with EndNote and to make sure you are set up for success!

If you are unable to join in person you can join virtually using the following button:

The Roseman University Library is excited to announce that the Henderson campus has received a Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) grant for Soundproof Study Pods through the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). This grant, valued at over $24,000, funded the installation of two state-of-the-art soundproof study pods, greatly enhancing the library’s facilities.

The primary goal of this grant is to improve the availability of quality study spaces, a need expressed by our students in the 2023 Student Services Survey. These soundproof study pods will provide students, faculty, and staff with private spaces for studying, attending virtual meetings, and creating video recordings. The addition of these pods aligns with the Library’s vision to be a dynamic hub of knowledge, innovation, and collaboration that serves as an indispensable source of inspiration for healthcare professionals.

Securing this grant was a collaborative effort. The Roseman University Library staff played a crucial role in the application process, with assistance from Drew Ehlert, Roseman’s Director of Grants Administration. Their combined efforts have resulted in a meaningful upgrade to our library facilities, demonstrating the University’s dedication to responding to student needs and enhancing the learning environment.

The soundproof study pods were installed on Thursday, August 22nd.
