The library plays an important role in educating the next generation of health professionals and bioscience researchers. We provided a broad range of services to students in FY2009, including standard library collections and services (e.g. reference services and course reserves) as well as the following: The Collaborative Learning Space, a meeting room designed for interactive learning. The room features ports for up to 8 laptops; two 36-inch LCD screens; and a combo VCR/DVD player. It’s a great place for student groups to work collaboratively, as well as a gathering place for news coverage of major events, including the 2008 presidential election and inauguration. Students and faculty may reserve the room via the library catalog.

The Pacific Northwest Chapter (PNC) of the Medical Library Association (MLA) won the Majors MLA Chapter Project of the Year Award ($500) for a class that Andrew Hamilton and Dolores Judkins developed and taught. The class, “Awakening the Searcher Within”, was a series of web sessions on expert searching. Each session emphasized a specific search method, and all participants were able to share search strategies and learn from each other. A total of 47 people attended the online class from libraries throughout the U.S.
