Reception

Had the opportunity to attend the Summer Scholars reception on Wednesday. I also had the opportunity to meet and speak with Anne White-Olson, a biomedical librarian and informationist at the NIH library. http://nihlibrary.nih.gov/LibraryServices/Pages/Informationists.aspx
Since Heather (my daughter) will be doing a year-long residency at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, MD; I am hoping to be able to visit the NIH library and NLM at some point while on a visit to Heather. NLM is on the NIH campus.
The presentation for the summer scholars included a talk by Dr. Marie Bernard, a noted geriatrician who is the deputy director of the NIA (National Institute on Aging). One of the gifts to her was a book called Centuries of Caring: The Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center Story by Neil Grauer. I checked that book out to learn more about Bayview's 230 years of history -- it's earliest years as an "Almshouse" and as the "Bayview Asylum" ( a reflection of its role as an insane asylum). Published in 2004, the "Acknowledments" include this statement: "Crucial help also was given by Linda Gorman, director of Hopkins Bayview's library services; her associates, Irene Kiyatkin and Tillie Horak. . ."
