October is American Archives Month. UT Southwestern Archives is sharing a small number of “mystery photos” through the Library’s Flickr gallery from our upcoming “Dallas Medical History, 1890-1975: A Digital Collection” project.

Although we know some information about the people, places, activities, or objects in the photos, much remains mysterious. We’re hoping to find a Sherlock Holmes or two out there who can help us put together the missing pieces. Anyone who can provide information about the photos is welcome to add a comment or note within Flickr, or to send an email to archives@utsouthwestern.edu.
This project has been funded in part with Federal funds from the National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health, Department of Health and Human Services, under Contract No. N01-LM-6-3505 with the Houston Academy of Medicine – Texas Medical Center Library.

The TexShare card program is a reciprocal borrowing program for participating libraries within Texas. The program, which includes school, public, academic and medical libraries, is designed to allow registered users of participating libraries to directly borrow books and other materials from the collections of over 500 TexShare member libraries throughout the state.
Registered users must obtain a TexShare card from their home library before checking out materials from other participating libraries. The UT Southwestern Library issues free TexShare cards to UT Southwestern faculty, staff and students upon request at the South Campus (main) Library. The TexShare card allows you to borrow directly from other libraries by using the card (which is guaranteed by UT Southwestern Library).

Your Library is proud to announce a new Library Catalog interface, which provides additional, enhanced searching and service capabilities.
The new Library Catalog allows you to:

• Conduct enhanced searches by:
  • Keyword (e.g., “cancer”, “diabetes”)
  • Phrase (e.g., “Alzheimer’s disease”, “myocardial infarction”)
  • Resource type (e.g., “print”, “electronic”)
• Quickly renew materials and update personal account information
• Place holds on checked-out Library materials
• Use new centralized “Library Services” Catalog location for frequently used Library services, such as Interlibrary Loan, Literature Search Request, and Suggest a Book/Journal

To login, go to the Library Catalog and enter your Library User ID (i.e., the bar code on your Library card or the back of your UT Southwestern ID) and Library PIN.
If you have any questions about the new Library Catalog, please visit the Library Catalog FAQ or contact Libwebmaster@utsouthwestern.edu.

The North Campus Branch Library is participating in a new North Campus recycling program expansion. In addition to the current paper and cardboard recycling, the new program will accept mixed recyclables, including clean plastic bottles and containers and clean metal containers (e.g., aluminum or tin cans).
A list of all eligible items is posted by the tall blue recycling bins, and more information is available at the UT Southwestern Green Champions FAQs page.
For any question about campus recycling or the Green Champion program, please contact Robert Watts in Physical Plant.
