This year the Library’s Fall Showcase takes on issues both timely – the mental health needs of combat veterans – and timeless – the meaning of suffering in medicine and theology. The Fall Showcase also features four interactive, hands-on classes in resources for evidence-based practice, web publishing, research posters, and NIH grants and public access policy.
Registration is required for all classes.
