A new library exhibit, Hospice and Palliative Care, will be on display in the

lecture hall foyer from August to late October. Hospice and Palliative Care is

part of One Community/ One Book 2009. The exhibit explores selected facets of

Dr. Pauline Chen’s practice memoir, Final Exam, this year’s One Community/ One

Book selection.

• A timeline explores the roots of hospice care in an ancient understanding of

guest-host relationships, including images of refuge for medieval wayfarers and

crusaders en route to religious shrines. It also honors key figures in modernhospice care – Mary Aikenhead, Rose Hawthorne, and Cicely Saunders, to

name but a few.

• Another panel explores medical study of the human body, including human

dissection, gross anatomy, and the Willed Body Program.

• Dr. Sandra Sanchez-Reilly, assistant professor of geriatrics and palliative care,

asked students from her medical ethics class to share a specific story about

their experiences with the dying. A number of these personal impressions are

included in the exhibit.

• The 2009 the University of Texas Health Science Center’s One Community/

One Book selection, Final Exam, by liver transplant surgeon Pauline Chen,

MD, takes center stage in the last exhibit section. Dr. Chen has travelled the

country extensively, speaking about end-of-life issues to medical and general

audiences. On September 25 she will be on campus to give a special

presentation: “Our Best Selves: One Surgeon’s Reflections on Compassionate

Care.” Excerpts from her writing reveal the shifts in perception toward the

dying which she has experienced in the course of her career as a physician.

Hospice and Palliative Care was created by Briscoe Library Special

Collections staff members Karen Eads and Pennie Borchers. For more information

about the exhibit, contact Pennie Borchers, Special Collections Librarian at

[email protected].

This exhibit was made possible in part by a grant from Humanities Texas, the

state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.

In August, uninsured residents of South Texas had the opportunity to receive free health and dental care by

visiting an Operation Lone Star clinic. Operation Lone Star (OLS) is a joint project of the Texas State Guard,

Army and Air National Guard, state health and human services agencies, county health departments, local

service groups and volunteers.

In August staff members from The Libraries were on-site at Louis J. Christen Middle School in Laredo as part

of OSL, sharing information about MedlinePlus in English and Spanish, as well as the resources that are

available at the Laredo Campus Extension library.

Similar clinics were available in Brownsville, Raymondville, Lasara, San Juan, La Joya, Laredo, Hebbronville,

Rio Grande City, and Zapata.

The UT Health Science Center Libraries welcome Paula Maez, who arrived here August 31 to complete her second year as a fellow of the National Library of Medicine (NLM).

Paula is one of four fellows in the 2008-2009 National Library of MedicineFellowship program, designed to provide a broad foundation in health sciencesinformation services and to prepare librarians for future leadership roles in healthsciences libraries and in health services research. The first year of Paula’s fellowship

was spent at the NLM in Bethesda, MD.

Paula received her Master’s of Library Science in May 2008 from the University of Arizona and also holds a BS in speech and hearing sciences and a BA in educationfrom the same university. While in graduate school, Maez was a Knowledge RiverScholar. She participated in a program that "fosters understanding of library information issues from the perspectives of Hispanic and Native Americans andadvocates for culturally sensitive library and information services to these

communities." She is interested in using her education and background to serve as a leader in overcominghealth disparities among underserved populations.

During her year at NLM in Bethesda, Maez focused on developing her outreach skills. She worked with theSoutheastern/Atlantic Region of the NLM’s National Network and the Specialized Information Services of

NLM on exhibiting, as well as teaching NLM resources to local high school students and students from theNIH Youth Initiative. She worked with the Bibliographic Services Division developing a suite of ClinicalTrials.gov Quick Tour learning packages and with Specialized Information Services enhancing thecircumpolar health topics section for the Arctic Health Web site. As part of the fellowship, Paula attended the14th Annual International Congress on Circumpolar Health in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada.

At the UT Health Science Center Libraries, Paula will work with the library’s active outreach program to SouthTexas students, faculty, staff, and community. She will also spend time learning about various library operations such as administration, information and access services, interlibrary loan, collection development,cataloging, and electronic resource management.

Dissections: Bernardino Genga, Italian anatomist and surgeon

Drawings: Charles Errard, court painter to Louis XIV

Text and indexes: John Maria Lancissi, papal physician

Genga’s Anatomia per Uso et Intelligenza del Disegno is one of the finest

examples of anatomy and artistry in balance, a masterwork from the age of

copperplate engraving. His drawings of the human body, based on dissections

and inspired by antique Roman statuary, were originally intended for painting

and sculpture classes at the French Royal Academy. The Anatomia has since

become one of the most famous books on anatomy for artists.

The Nixon Library owns the 1723 English translation of Genga’s Anatomia - 39

annotated engravings on osteology and myology, followed by representations of

the Laocoön, the Borghese Faun, the Medici Venus, and other classical sculptures.
