Chronicle, President's Page,

Hello CAHSLA! I hope you have all been enjoying the warmer weather we’ve had lately. It’s been wonderful to get out of the office and see the sun for bit. 

We had a great time at our February outing, touring the UC Surgical Theatre and the new Anatomy Learning Lab at UC’s Health Science Library. If you missed it and are interested in seeing the Anatomy Learning Lab, please let me know – I’d be happy to show it off. The library has been full of students in the Lab recently, using the plastinates to study, which is great to see.

I have been busy doing the usual health sciences librarian stuff – instruction sessions, answering lots of reference questions, and assisting on evidence synthesis projects, among many other things. It’s been hectic but so much fun. I hope everyone’s 2025 is also off to a great start – I’m looking forward to our next CAHSLA meeting and catching up on what everyone is working on. (And big thank you to Jennifer Pettigrew for organizing our next meeting!)

Hello CAHSLA!

The annual holiday party was a blast – singing Christmas songs at Tokyo Kitty (a karaoke spot downtown) was a fun way to celebrate the season. Big thank you to Emily Kean for arranging and bringing the delicious food! The executive committee is planning a couple educational meetings for the new year, which I am very excited about! Keep your eyes peeled for more information.

Typically, this time of the year is for reflection, but I’m already thinking about what I will be working on in the new year. I have an exciting project in the works to do some health information literacy with hospital patients and caregivers. AI is at the top of my list as well, especially supporting my students and patrons in understanding GenAI and how it can be best utilized. I will also be continuing my work advocating for Open Science practices and Open Educational Resources. What are you excited about focusing on in the new year? Comment below or email your thoughts to Jim (James.DaMico@cchmc.org) or Emily (emilykean@gmail.com) for inclusion in the next Chronicle. I’d love to hear about projects CAHSLA members have in the works!

Chronicle, President's Page,

Hello CAHSLA members! We are already on a roll with programing for the year – the Executive Committee met at the usual spot, Dushmesh in Clifton, for the transition meeting in August. Just last week, October 10th, we met at the Lloyd Library to see the new Pawpaw exhibit, as well as enjoy pizza and networking.  

I hope you all have December 11th marked on your calendars for the annual party. This year’s gathering will have something for everyone, so be on the lookout for details! The executive committee also has begun planning for the workshop meeting and other celebrations. We hope to have an informative, active, and fun CAHSLA year. 

I am grateful to serve as CAHSLA President, with assistance from the indispensable executive committee. As someone who is still relatively newish to health science librarianship, I truly appreciate the support and friendship in the CAHSLA community.  

Lynn Warner, President
