Inspired: The Harrell Health Sciences Library Renovation Update

The Harrell HSL Renovation blog is now available via the library website—

just click on the blue Inspired Harrell HSL Renovation button. As we

progress from design to construction we will continue to add information,

including the construction schedule. Check back regularly, especially as

we enter the construction phase this coming fall. The information posted

to the blog will help you understand what will be happening within the li-

brary on any given day.

We are currently completing the schematic design phase, which included

engineering layout and systems, fire and security, IT technology/

infrastructure, raised access flooring and modular walls, and the overall

floor plan. This information will be presented to senior leadership for ap-

proval. We are now starting the design development phase of the project.

This is the fun part where we decide on the interior palette, i.e. the color

scheme for flooring, walls, finishes, upholstery and accents. This phase

also includes choosing furniture and millwork, identifying the technology

that will be integrated into the spaces, lighting, and signage. We will be

seeking input as we move through this phase. We want to make sure

the furniture is comfortable and functional, the technology is appro-

priate for the various spaces including the small study rooms, and we

have plenty of outlets and charging stations. (Continued next page)

Keep tabs on renovation progress—

Visit the HHSL Renovation Blog at

the library website. Find construc-

tion schedules, latest updates, and

FAQs about the renovation.

We are committed to keeping faculty, students,

and staff informed during renovation.

Included with this article are two 3-D renditions that show the concept and direction for the design of the

new library space. Although these are not actual images of the end product, they give you an idea of

how the space will look and function.

Once the design development phase is complete we will again present to senior leadership and with

their approval we will move into developing the construction documents. With the construction docu-

ments finalized we will bid the project. As noted in my last newsletter update, we still expect construc-

tion to begin sometime in the October, November timeframe. We hope to have our grand opening

celebration early in 2017.

We are excited to be on this journey and when all is said and done, the library will be a showcase for

Penn State Hershey inspiring everyone to be their best. Stay tuned for updates as we continue to devel-

op the design and move closer to our shared vision of the 21st century library and learning commons.

This image details the area surrounding

our present compact shelving units. The

curved expanse depicts a number of

small study rooms that will be built in the

space; various types of seating including

individual carrels, collaborative seating

and computer workstations. This space

is adjacent to the planned One-Button

Studio for recording presentations and

the Technology Sandbox.

The image on pg. 1 shows the area near

the present front door and spiral

staircase. A history of medicine display

area and Technology Sandbox are

planned for this area.

Our faculty participated in several different ways at the 2015 Medical Library Association

conference.

Cynthia Robinson was part of a panel discussing “Difficult Conversations: Strategies to

make sure they enhance rather than ruin your leadership.”

Robyn Reed presented 3 posters: “Advancing the research mission: The library’s role in

supporting biomedical researchers," "A Comparison of the roles of medical and science

informatics librarians" and "Saving time with the library: A proactive approach to engaging

new faculty."

David Brennan presented 2 posters, “Using the liaison program in collection assessment

and development" and “Conversion of journal citation data for systematic review analy-

sis.” He also recently published an article, “Collection assessment and the library liaison

program: A practical focus,” in the journal, Pennsylvania Libraries: Research and Practice.

Amy Knehans co-authored a poster, “Librarians and health literacy: A scoping re-

view” (authors Klem ML, Devine PJ, El-Khayat YM, Gutzman KE, Knehans A, Mills TN, Oren GA, Perryman CL, Saleh A3, Unno ZP,

Vardell E ) .

Amy Knehans and Esther Dell presented a poster, “Establishing, Marketing, and Expanding

a Fee-based Systematic Review Information Service.”

Nancy Adams attended the Harvard Macy Institute in May, funded by the Vice Dean for

Medical Education.

Learning at the Library

Library faculty recently held a number of success-

ful educational events for studdents, faculty, and

staff of Penn State Hershey. We created a num-

ber of new workshops that were very well re-

ceived. If you or your research group needs train-

ing in any of these areas, contact us!

compared to five years earlier—

with no increase in faculty size.

Resource Highlight: Web of Science

By David Brennan

Web of Science (WoS) from Thomson Reuters, is a wide-ranging resource that in addition to indexing a

broad cross-section of sciences and social sciences and specializes in citation analytics.

A key feature in all WoS databases is the ability to do a cited reference search, allowing you to locate arti-

cles that cite a specific paper. “Cited reference searching” essentially searches the literature “forward” by

looking for articles that cite another one of interest, often yielding very relevant results. To find out how,

watch this short video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jcZIwf_VZA

Essential Science Indicators is a new feature of WOS. It compiles science performance statistics and

trends data derived from Web of Science Core Collection data. Within Essential Science Indicators, you

can:

Rank authors, institutions, countries and journals across 22 broad disciplines

Conduct analyses of scientific literature:

Identify top researchers or institutions in specific disciplines

Identify trends and emerging areas of research

Who is publishing the ‘hottest’ papers in a field?

HHSL’s Research Data Event a Success: 75 Attendees

On April 30, the Harrell Library hosted “Research Data: Compliance, Ownership, and Preservation.” The

purpose of the event was to allow researchers the opportunity to learn from experts about PSU data poli-

cies on issues such as data security, ownership and intellectual property, as well as learning about PSU

resources to help manage data. The 75 attendees were encouraged to bring questions they had on data

and data management regarding legal issues, IRB policies, resources including REDCap and i2b2 and da-

ta services.

We’d like to extend a special thank you to our presenters: Michael Brignati, PhD, JD, Penn State Associ-

ate General Counsel; Bari Dzomba, Doctoral Candidate, MS, Research Data Warehouse/Research Infor-

matics; Terri Shkuda, REDCap Administrator, Research Informatics, IT; and Rosanne Pogash, MPA, Man-

ager, Data Management Unit, Public Health Sciences.
