    The Libraries remember Governor Dolph Briscoe, Jr.On June 27, 2010 members of the library staff were saddenedto learn of the death of former Governor Dolph Briscoe, Jr.The UT Health Science Center library located on the LongCampus is named after Governor Briscoe.

    On November 14, 1985 a ceremony was held to dedicate thelibrary, which was completed in 1983 after many years ofplanning. Governor Briscoe was present at the event, along

    with John P. Howe, III, former president of the UT HealthScience Center; Donald A.B. Lindberg, Director, National

    Library of Medicine; and Jess Hay, Chairman, The Universityof Texas System Board of Regents.

    An excerpt from the dedication program speaks to GovernorBriscoes commitment to education:

    The library building at The University of Texas HealthScience Center at San Antonio is named to honor formerGovernor Dolph Briscoe, Jr. Mr. Briscoe, Uvalde rancher,served as governor during 1973-79. During hisadministration, the appropriation of funds for public andhigher education increased. Since leaving office, Governor

    Briscoe has been active in support of community serviceprograms.

    In announcing the dedication, the former Regents ChairmanJon Newton said, No resource of any campus, whether it beacademic or health-related, is of more importance than thelibrary. At the health science center in San Antonio, thelibrary serves medical, dental, nursing, allied health andgraduate students in the medical sciences. It stands as asymbol of excellence in their continued quest for knowledge.

    What better honor than to dedicate a library of nationaldistinction to an individual who has been so supportive of

    higher education.

    Support The Libraries with a giftA gift to the UT Health Science Center at San Antonio Libraries is an

    investment in discovery

    the discovery students make every day when they come to the

    library to study with their peers,

    the discoveryour researchers make when they read one of the

    librarys electronic journals in their office or lab,

    the discoveryclinicians make when they seek to find evidence

    for treatment by using one of the librarys databases,

    and the discovery we all make when we learn how to leadhealthy lifestyles by searching resources selected by expert

    librarians.

    Help us to make discoveries through the library possible by contributing to

    the UT Health Science Center at San Antonio Libraries.

    Your contribution will be used to support the librarys print and electronic

    book and journal collections, or a gift can be designated for a particular

    purpose.

    A contribution form is located on page 12. To make a contribution, print the

    form and return it with your check to the address noted on the form. All

    The Power of Data Visualization for

    Expression and Genetic Analysis

    Wednesday & Thursday, July 7 & 8

    UT Health Science Center, San Antonio

    Briscoe Library, Room LIB 2.011

    The Office of the Vice President for Research is hosting two mornings of hands-on discovery focused on

    analysis of gene expression and genetic markers. Application Scientist Jordan Hiller of SAS will be theinstructor for both sessions. He will also be available for individual appointments in the afternoons to address

    specific questions about the analysis of genomic data.

    Gene expression, July 7, 9:00 a.m. to 12 p.m.: JMP Genomics 4.1 incorporates many tools valuable in

    gene expression analysis. Jordan Hiller will discuss capabilities for principal components analysis,

    hierarchical clustering, alternative splicing analysis for exon arrays and more. He also will provide a walk-

    through of the Basic Expression Workflow in JMP Genomics that provides a simplified path through standard

    quality control and statistical analysis of data sets.

    Genetic marker analysis, July 8, 9:00 a.m. to 12 p.m.: Explore the unsurpassed breadth and depth of

    analytics for genetics data, as well as new genome visualization and predictive modeling. Jordan Hiller willshow features for quality control, Q-K mixed models association analysis, and more. He also will demonstrate

    the Basic Genetics Workflow, which incorporates flexible filtering and analysis in a single, easy-to-use dialog.

    Both workshops are offered free of charge.

    Using My Bibliography to ensure NIH public access compliance

    The National Institutes of Healths Public Access Policy requires all investigators funded by

    the NIH to submit an electronic copy of their final research manuscripts upon acceptance for

    publication no later than 12 months after publication to the National Library of Medicines

    PubMed Central. As of July 1, 2010, investigators are required to manage NIH Public Access

    Policy compliance using a new feature within My Bibliography (a part of MyNCBI). My

    Bibliography can be used to create lists of publications and add citations directly from

    PubMed or manually. Within My Bibliography, the Awards View eRA Commons feature

    allows the user to identify if their publications are compliant with the NIH Public Access Policy, start the

    submission process for manuscripts, associate their NIH funding with their publications, and designate

    delegates to manage their bibliography via My NCBI.Brief step-by-step instructions on using My Bibliography can be found at http://www.nlm.nih.gov/bsd/

    disted/pubmedtutorial/030_265.htmland an online tutorial on this new feature is available at https://

    webmeeting.nih.gov/p99612940/ . Additional information on using NLM/NCBI products is available at

    http://www.nlm.nih.gov/bsd/dist_edu.html#mla .

    Health and Human Services introduces a newNational Action Planto Improve Health Literacy

    On May 27 the US Department of Health and Human Services released its

    National Action Plan to Improve Health Literacy. The plan includes seven

    goals that rely on the participation of health professionals, payers, the media

    and government agencies.

    With the release of the plan, HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius placed the issue

    of health literacy in the context of health reform: Health literacy is needed to

    make health reform a reality. Without health information that makes sense to

    them, people cant access cost effective, safe, and high quality health services.TheNational Action Plan is available at http://www.health.gov/communication/HLActionPlan . A recent

    interview with theNational Action Plans lead author, Cynthia Baur, is available as a podcast at http://

    tinyurl.com/2836wkt.

    Keith Cogdill

    Director of South Texas Regional Information Services

    Seven goals to improve health literacy:

    1. Develop and disseminate health and safety information that is accurate, accessible,

    and actionable

    2. Promote changes in the health care system that improve health information,

    communication, informed decision making, and access to health services

    3. Incorporate accurate, standards-based, and developmentally appropriate health and

    science information and curricula in child care and education through the university

    level

    4. Support and expand local efforts to provide adult education, English language

    instruction, and culturally and linguistically appropriate health information servicesin the community

    5. Build partnerships, develop guidance, and change policies

    6. Increase basic research and the development, implementation, and evaluation of

    practices and interventions to improve health literacy

    7. Increase the dissemination and use of evidence-based health literacy practices

    and interventions

    The Libraries have received a Rescuing Texas History mini-

    project grant to pay for the digitization of thirteen historical

    books from the P. I. Nixon Medical Historical Library collection.

    The books will be digitized by the University of North Texas

    Libraries Digital Project Unit and included in The Portal to Texas History.

    The Portal to Texas History is an Internet gateway to Texas history materials created and maintained by the

    University of North Texas Libraries. The portal features unique collections of materials dating from

    prehistory to the present day, from Texas libraries, museums, archives, historical societies, genealogical

    societies, and private family collections, including images, text, sound and video recordings and are made

    publicly available by the collection-holding partners for use in research, teaching, and private study. The

    books sent to the Portal from the Nixon collection focus on Texas history, climate, and culture. They include:

    The Climate of Texas, published in 1894 by Isaac Monroe Cline. This book describes the effects of

    climate and weather changes in causing diseases and deaths.

    his pioneering days. Hoyt was the first physician to practice medicine in the Texas Panhandle.

    Texas Nature Observations and Reminiscences, Dr. Rudolph Mengers observations and

    reminiscences on Texas insect and animal life, published in 1913. Contains numerous photo-

    micrographs taken by the author.

    The Menace: An Exposition of Quackery Nostrum Exploitation and Reminiscences of a Country

    Doctor, a concise history written by Charles Dixon in 1914 of the work involved in ridding Bexar

    county of quacks and nostrum exploiters.

    Andrea Schorr, Cataloging and Acquisitions Librarian,recommendsIn Their Own Words: 12,000 Physicians

    Reveal Their Thoughts on Medical Practice in America, byPhillip Miller with Louis J. Goodman, and Timothy B. Norbeck.

    This book is available in the Briscoe Library at call number W 21

    M649i 2010.

    Katie Prentice, Head of Education and Information Services,

    enjoyedHow Lincoln Learned to Read: This book compiles the

    stories of 12 individuals from American history and the educations that

    shaped their futures. Wolff begins with Benjamin Franklin, moves

    chronologically through the years to Abigail Adams and Sojourner Truth,

    and takes us all the way to Elvis Presley. Each profile draws on the

    characters own writing, including letters and diaries, to closely examine

    what a good education might include. The key to all 12 individuals is

    that they managed to learn (both formally and informally) what they

    needed to know to get ahead in life. This brief history of American

    education is relevant to everyone involved in education.

    What were reading this summer

    Susan Hunnicutt, Special Projects Librarian, is

    reading The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to

    Our Brains,by Nicholas Carr: A master of attention-

    getting titles (he was the author of a 2008Atlantic article that

    opened with the provocative question, Is Google Making Us

    Stupid?) Nicholas Carr is wide-ranging, generous with

    examples, and nimble in his thinking about how and why the

    digitally-nurtured mind is differentfrom the linear, literary

    mind that has ruled the world for most of the past 500 years.He draws on neurobiology, linguistics, and history to show

    how digital writing is reshaping the habits of the minds that
