Director's Report: Recent Efforts in Open Access Publishing
Fantastic Find: Fore-edge Gem at Galter
Improved User Services: Loan Periods and Photocopiers
Service Recognition for Galter Employee
From time to time, we like to report to the Northwestern health care community
highlights from the world of scientific-technical-medical publishing. The purpose
of these reports is to identify how changes in the publishing world affect
the Galter Library and its user community. The latest effort to promote open access publishing was the announcement on March
16, 2004 of the Washington DC Principles
for Free Access to Science.

During the course of weeding the pre-1950 Dewey Decimal medical collection
in the lower level stacks, a fantastic discovery was made! A wonderful text
entitled The philosophy of the human voice: embracing the physiological history, together with a system of principles by which criticism in the art of elocution may be rendered intelligible, and instruction, definite and comprehensive, to which is add a brief analysis of song and recitative by James Rush, M.D., published in Philadelphia by J. Maxwell in 1827, was discovered and has now been relocated to Special Collections, Rare Medical Books, 612.78 R89 1827. The length of the title, while impressive, is not the feature that gives this text its historical significance. What makes this volume such an exciting find is a fore-edge painting hidden under its gilded pages!
The Galter Library has licensed more electronic books and textbooks (latest
edition only). The individual records for these new e-books, accessible via
the Books@Ovid gateway,
are listed in the Northwestern University libraries’ online catalog, NUcat,
where information about the print Galter Library holdings may also be found.
Links to the individual electronic book titles are listed also on the Galter
Library’s Web site.
