The annual gap between increasing costs and budget shortfalls was unbridgeable this year. The patchwork agreement reached last year that allowed for the continuation of the staffing of the Library's Microcomputer/Media Desk could not be sustained into this fiscal year so, for the second consecutive year, the Library faced a shortfall in excess of $125,000. Rather than reduce the quality of service across all program areas of the Library, the difficult decision was made to eliminate the Microcomputer/Media Desk support function and eliminate the 2.5 FTE staffing. The decision to eliminate this aspect of our overall Circulation Services Program Area was made because a major portion of the workload was in helping microcomputer users who were using standard applications, e.g., word processing. Since this important and heavily used function was not a core service of the Library, it was easier to eliminate it rather than reduce the level of core services. The Library continued to offer classes on how to use computers to access and manage information and the Information Services Program Area continued to offer assistance to individual users who needed help accessing the Library's electronic resources, we no longer offered general microcomputer or application support services. In addition, users had to come to the Information Desk on the first floor to seek help. We received numerous expressions of concern over this decision in the first few months but our users eventually adapted. That is not to say that the need to provide this kind of support no longer exists. Although it is true that more and more individuals come to the Medical College with fairly good computer skills, there are still many who need help using computers or need help with an application that is new to them. The Library still feels that this type of support should be available and that the Library is the most appropriate organization to provide it. We are open the most hours, serve as a computer commons for those without their own computers or access to one, and have an active program of assistance to users accessing electronic information. Providing this one additional piece is a logical extension of our other activities and we will continue to seek funding so that we can offer this service again.
The elimination of this function combined with the salary savings from the retirement of a senior librarian and delaying the recruitment of her replacement, allowed us to get through the year without any further reductions in our program. It was clear, however, that the funding base for the library needed to be addressed to prevent this situation from continuing. In relation to this issue of the long term support for the Library, the direction of the College's Capital Campaign was revised this year to target the Goals of the Strategic Plan for Research. The Library, which had been listed in the Campaign for $8,000,000 for support of informlation resources, was dropped out thus delaying the ultimate solution to the issue of long-term support. On the plus side, the College agreed to provide significant supplemental funding to enable the Library to replace its old Library Information System (LIS). The financial needs of the Library in today's changing enviroment will need to be addressed in the coming year.
One way the Library has tried to address increasing costs is through increased sharing of resources, especially with our neighbors in the 4-Corners Consortium and with our sister libraries on the Ithaca campus. Both of these activities saw dramatic increases this year. This year, we joined with the libraries of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and Rockefeller University in the acquisition of a new library information system. This system will greatly enhance the services we can offer to the students, faculty, and staff of the three institutions.
Our cooperation with the libraries on the Ithaca campus took a major leap forward with the receipt by the University Librarian of one-time funding for improving the interaction between the libraries of our two campuses. By the end of the year, planning for a strategic planning retreat involving the librarians of both campuses had been completed. The meeting was set for July 1998, and we expect that several new initiatives will come from it.
The merger of the New York and Presbyterian Hospitals, effective January 1998, lent additional urgency to the planning that has been under way between our library and our counterpart at Columbia. Dr. Braude held regular meetings with The Assistant Vice-President and Associate Dean of Scholarly Resources, Pat Molholt, which continued throughout the year. A strategic position regarding provision of information resources to the new entity remains unclear. This work will continue and the regular meetings have helped in preliminary exploration of our similarities and differences.
The Library Faculty had another active year participating in local, regional, and national professional activities. Robert M. Braude, helen-ann brown <sic>, Mark Funk, Mira Myhre, Carolyn Reid, and Jeanne Strausman were active in a variety of professional association activities this year either as officers or serving on committees or task forces.
Robert M. Braude was appointed to the Task Force on Professional Development by the Medical Library Association; videotaped a Centennial Moment that was played at the May 1998 Annual Meeting of the Medical Library Association, their Centennial Meeting; was selected as one of 100 Notable Health Sciences Librarians in conjunction with that Centennial, and continued on the Editorial Board of JAMIA.
helen-ann brown was Chair the New York/New Jersey Chapter of the Medical Library Association and served on several of its committees. She also served on several committees of the Medical Library Association. and along with Jeanne Strausman, Patricia Tomasulo, and Octavio Morales presented a poster at the 1998 Annual Meeting. She continued her teaching of the Information Skills course with Dr. Braude and Patricia Tomasulo in the Clinical Epidemiology/Health Services Research Program.
Mark Funk continued his service as a member of the Library Board of Advisors, Doody's Health Sciences Book Review Journal, and as a member of the JAMA Journal Review Panel. In this capacity he published Fein OT, Funk ME: Evidence-Based Medicine (journal review). JAMA 1997 Nov 5;278(17):1460-1. He continued his service as a member of the MLA Centennial Coordinating Committee, and as Chair, MLA 1999 National Program Committee. He also served as an expert witness for the Justice Department as part of their investigation of the proposed merger of Elsevier and Wolters Kluwer.
Mira Myhre continued to serve as Chair of the Membership Committee and as a mentor to a junior member of the profession for the MLA Technical Services Section.
Carolyn Reid wrote an article for the CUL Kaleidoscope, "A Fascination with flowers: the art of Jimmy Wright" and published a web page with text and illustrations http://lib2.med.cornell.edu/Library/StaffData/JW.html. She taught her CE course, MeSH for Searchers , for the NY/NJ Chapter of the Medical Library Association and the Colorado Council of Medical Librarians and was invited by the Dennison Library, University of Colorado, to develop and teach a new course for their library staff, The MEDLINE Database: Elhill, Entrez (PubMed), Ovid. She taught her course, Database Retrieval in the Health Sciences, for Pratt Institute School of Information and Library Science. She was appointed to be the representative from the Medical Library Association to Documentation Abstracts, Inc., 1997-1999 and was invited to the National Library of Medicine to participate in discussions regarding web-based MEDLINE access.
Jeanne Strausman, along with helen-ann brown, Patricia Tomasulo, and Octavio Morales, presented a poster at the 1998 Annual Meeting.
Patricia Tomasulo continued her teaching of the Information Skills course with Dr. Braude and helen-ann brown in the Clinical Epidemiology/Health Services Research Program, presented a workshop on Internet Medical Search Engines and Review Sites for the CD-ROM/On-line Searchers SIG, NY-NJ Chapter/MLA, taught a session on PsycLIT for MSK fellows, and taught four classes for the GCRC on Electronic Resources. She completed her 2 year term as Secretary of NY-NJ Chapter of the Medical Library Association. She was Co-Presenter of a paper in the Research Section Contributed Paper Session, and along with helen-ann brown, Jeanne Strausman, and Octavio Morales presented a poster at the 1998 Medical Library Association Annual Meeting.
The activities of each Program Area follow as reported by the Heads. Despite minimal funding for Library activities, there continued to be a substantial amount of activity and expansion of services as indicated by both the reports and the statistics. The entire Library Staff deserve credit for continuing this forward movement of the Library towards its goals of excellence in the delivery of information services. The elimination of the staffing at the Microcomputer/Media Desk did not remove all of the activities that had taken place there and some were transferred to other areas of the Library. Despite the additional workload placed on the staff, they accepted it gamely and made every effort to continue to provide exceptional service. The staff continued to make a maximum effort and that effort and their dedication is greatly appreciated and hereby acknowledged.
Robert M. Braude, M.L.S., Ph.D.
Frances and John Loeb Librarian
Human Resources. With the retirement of Jacqueline Picciano, Information Services Librarian, that program area was reorganized and a new position, Head, Information Services, was created. Recruitment to fill that position started with the posting of the position at the Annual Meeting of the Medical Library Association (MLA) held in Philadelphia, PA, in May. We expect to complete the interview process and make an appointment to this position early next year.
It was with much regret that the Library closed the Media Desk and eliminated 2.5 positions in Circulation Services (q.v.). After four years service, Inga Zhygalo left her position in Cataloging and was replaced by Liping Wang, who had previously worked in a temporary position for the Library. Other staffing within the Library was stable during the year although still at a minimal level. Additional faculty and staff are needed in Circulation Services and Information Services if the Library is to expand programs and deliver exceptional service to our users.
Finances. Minimal funding was available such that the Library could make purchases to improve web- and file-server access to information and applications for staff and users. As our collection of electronic resources continues to grow, it will be increasingly necessary to provide appropriate computing resources for users and staff. The approach of the year 2000 (Y2K) and the possible accompanying computer problems is also an issue since the Library has many older computers that are not Y2K compliant. Securing funding for replacement and upgrade of computer equipment is a significant priority for the coming year and has been included in the Library's capital budget request. Supplemental funding ($3000) was sought and awarded for the purchase of a Minolta Epic 3000 scanner/copier to improve document delivery activities in Interlibrary Services (q.v.). The Library participated eagerly in the implementation of procurement cards by the college. Several key staff have been authorized and trained in the use of the cards. Advantages have been overall cost savings for the College and ease of use in the purchase of supplies and other items by Library staff.
Facilities. Ms. Picciano's retirement freed up space allowing the Library to provide the Head of Circulation Services with a private office. At this time only one program area head does not have a private office, a situation that we hope to remedy in the coming year. The Curriculum Resources Center, started last year in the alcove across from the Information Services office, did not prove useful to students in the first and second year classes and was discontinued this year in favor of electronic access. Space for Information Services is not optimal and a rearrangement of the existing office, such that all Information Services faculty and staff can be in the same area, will be discussed in the coming months. Renovations of the main Information Services office and expansion into the alcove will be considered for the future.
Planning. In July, the decision was made to select the Innovative Interfaces, Inc. (III) system and to collaborate with Rockefeller University Library (RUL) and Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) in its implementation The formal contract signing occurred in December. The benefits of a shared database providing holdings of all three libraries to our users and the advantages and cost savings of a shared system to the libraries and their staffs will be substantial. A consultation visit by our III implementation coordinator early in December, provided guidance in defining the database (profiling) and in planning for preparation of the TestPAC, a sample database of records from all three libraries used to demonstrate the Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC) and to test the data migration and handling capabilities of the system. Bibliographic records for monographs and serials were successfully exported from the Library Information System (LIS), our present online system, to III. Remaining data transfers and training will take place early in the coming year and we expect to be fully functional on the new system by the fall. The Library joined the Innovative Users Group (IUG) and Carolyn Reid attended the IUG annual meeting in Nashville, TN in May, bringing back useful reports of several applications and modifications to the III system that will be beneficial as we move toward full implementation. Funding for the new system is to be shared by library discretionary funds and the College. This extraordinary financial support of our efforts is most gratefully acknowledged.
Additional administrative activities included providing support for two staff members, Vergie Savage-Branch and McEvoy Campbell, as they assumed greater leadership roles in local and state-wide organizations for library assistants. Several meetings were held with Janice Kuta, Grover Reference, who is developing the new Encyclopedia of the Life Sciences, to provide input and advice for the process. Of course, all regular statistical reports were completed and submitted in a timely fashion along with several special surveys and questionnaires. Carolyn Reid and Camille Campbell attended Administrative Forum meetings throughout the year to maintain close communication with all other areas of WMC, and Carolyn Reid attended General Faculty Council Meetings on occasion, at the request of Dr. Braude.

Librarian and Associate Director
Electronic Subscriptions/Purchases. This year, the emphasis in Collection Development was electronic access. After last year's build-up of electronic databases, the program area shifted to electronic journals. A new page was created on the Library's web site that lists all of the full-text electronic versions of current library subscriptions. Unfortunately, every publisher handles electronic access differently, and there is no consistent way to determine if a print journal has an electronic version. By careful examination of printed issues and searching of publishers' web pages, we have started to compile a list of electronic journals that can be accessed by institutional subscribers. By the end of the fiscal year, over 100 such journals were identified and made easily available to our users. At this point, most of the electronic versions are available at no additional cost. It remains to be seen how much longer this situation will last, and how much it will cost libraries to continue electronic access in the future.
Also in the electronic area, the Library purchased a 20-simultaneous-user access package to Harrison's Online. This web version of Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine has been very well received by our users, since it is platform independent, allowing both Macintosh and Intel machines access. In a joint purchase with the Cornell Ithaca Library, the Medical Library canceled its print version of Science Citation Index, and put that money towards a joint purchase of the ISI Web of Science, the web-based version of SCI. This version adds much more utility and ease-of-use to this database. Continuing to shift our work to electronic methods, the Serials unit now updates all of our periodical holdings in the Union Catalog of Medical Periodicals via telnet. This is a much faster and more efficient method compared to the paper forms used in the past. Another Adobe Acrobat file of current periodicals held by the Library was produced for 1998 subscriptions.
Continuation of Cooperative Efforts. The program area continues its cooperation with science librarians at the Cornell Ithaca Library. The Head of Collection Development participates in a monthly meeting with these librarians via telephone conferencing, helping to make decisions on joint purchases and cancellations.
The Head of Collection Development was also part of the Library team working towards the implementation of the Innovative Interfaces, Inc. library system. Several meetings were held with the Cornell team, as well as joint meetings with the Rockefeller University and MSKCC teams.
Human Resources. The program area was fully staffed when John McCauley, who also works in Circulation, became the Acquisitions assistant in November.
Mark E. Funk
Associate Librarian and Head, Collection Development
Activities. In addition to our regular work of cataloging and classifying acquired material for the Cornell Medical Library, we continue to be successful in providing cataloging services to MSKCC and to the Library of the Westchester Division of New York-Presbyterian Hospital.
Additionally, this year, our efforts were devoted to doing profiling for III, the new online system. We tested the new system to assure efficient retrieval of bibliographic information and made changes in LIS, our current online system, to prepare data for migration to III.
Human Resources and Training. Inga Zhygalo resigned in October and Liping Wang was hired in January. Ms. Wang and the other staff member, Janina Kaldan, both attended workshops offered by SUNY OCLC. Janina Kaldan attended: HTML: a Jump Start; Intermediate HTML; Passport for Windows: Beyond the Basics; CAT ME for Windows and Cataloging Internet Resources. Liping Wang attended: Passport for Windows; Visual Materials Format: Cataloging Motion Pictures and Videos; Original Cataloging Techniques; Cataloging Micro Enhancer for Windows; and Cataloging Shortcuts. These workshops were very informative and well structured and enhanced the readiness of the staff for the new software.
Mira Myhre
Associate Librarian and Head, Cataloging
Human Resources. This year began sadly when a shortfall in the Library budget resulted in the closing of our Media Desk and the consequent lay-off the three last-hired people in our program area. We immediately put Jonathan Lim and David Kupfer on the temporary staff. John McCauley was able to salvage full-time hours by working two part-time positions, one in Circulation on the weekends and one in Collection Development during the week. We all continue to use our networking connections to inquire about positions at other libraries for these "displaced" people. Unfortunately, actual positions have failed to materialize. This crisis upset the rest of the staff as well, as we were required to retrain as well as shift around several people within the program area. Eventually, everyone adjusted. The evening supervisor returned from maternity leave, and staffing appears to be stable.
Support of the New WMC Curriculum. The problem-based learning (PBL) curriculum continues to take up much of our time. Earlier this year, Dr. Braude asked the Head of Circulation to be the "coordinator" of PBL materials within the library. This arrangement has worked well for everyone and, considering how much material has been added to the collection and how many people are involved, we've had few problems.
Migration from LIS to III. Another challenge that presented itself this year resulted from the announcement last year of the demise of LIS, our computerized library information system. The Head of Circulation has been an active participant in the preparations for our migration to the new system.
Office Space. The retirement of Jacqueline Picciano resulted in a vacant office which was made available to the Head of Circulation. The space has not only allowed Ms. Merlo to work in a quiet area, but is also appropriate for impromptu meetings and further staff development activities.
External Access. The New York Hospital Care Network institutional membership has grown to 17. Institutional membership in the Health Professionals Access Program (HPA) remained at five. Current individual HPA membership is comprised of 24 licensed health professionals, including 14 physicians.
Loretta Merlo
Head, Circulation Services
Procurement Activities. This year, Interlibrary Services (ILS) procured 6,746 items for our patrons from other libraries -- an increase of 206 (3%) more items than in FY97 and 459 (7%) more items than in FY96.
Loans to Other Libraries. The ILS program area supplied 8,403 items to other libraries during the 1997-1998 year -- 2,861 (34%) more items than in FY97 and 828 (10%) more items than in FY96. A Minolta Epic 3000 scanner and related equipment were purchased in order to increase efficiency of the program area.
Photocopy Service. A total of 4,615 photo exposures, representing 694 articles, were copied and delivered to users during the year.
Stephen Bright
Head, Interlibrary Services
Faculty. Jacqueline Picciano, Information Services Librarian since the Fall of 1995 and former head of Access Services, retired from the Library in February 1998, after a long and distinguished career.
Classes and Instruction. Information Services staff conducted 40 scheduled class sessions for 83 participants from July 1997 through April 1998. Classes were discontinued during the summer due to staff shortage and declining class attendance. This year there was an increase in special group and individual sessions for a total of 18 classes attended by 62 participants. New classes were offered in the Spring on ISI Web of Science, MICROMEDEX®, and FIRSTSEARCH. A total of 38 medical students from the 4th-year Ambulatory Care elective received two separate, one-hour MEDLINE and Internet coaching sessions.
Tours/Orientations. A total of 139 incoming Graduate Students, Dietetic Interns, Surgery Interns, Pharmacy Students, Summer Minority Students, Cytology Students, and Pastoral Care Students toured the Library and received instruction in the use of the collection.
Implementation of III System. Jeanne Strausman served on the Weill/Cornell III Implementation Team representing Information Services and the needs of library users with regard to use of the OPAC and training.
Reference Questions and Resources. The Information Desk continued to be busy. The number of walk-in, telephone, and electronic inquiries increased to 17,968, although some of this increase was due to a change in reporting methods and better recording of weekend statistics. There was an increase this year in the number of electronic inquiries. Students, staff, and faculty searched on seven microcomputers in the Electronic Reference Area (ERA). Frequently users had to wait to use these stations as interest in access to electronic information resources increased. At the end of June, one computer was removed because it was not functioning properly, leaving only six workstations in the ERA.
The 4-Corners databases, a cooperative effort provided by Weill/Cornell, MSKCC, RUL, and the Hospital for Special Surgery, offered access to databases (full MEDLINE®, CINAHL™, CANCERLIT, HealthSTAR, Current Contents) and the full text of several journals in Core Biomedical Collections I & III. The 4-Corners databases, FIRSTSEARCH, ISI Web of Science and MICROMEDEX® were available on computers in the ERA as well as throughout the library, the College's network, and as a link from the Library's web site. In addition, Knowledge Finder provided full MEDLINE® and PSYCLIT® and was available throughout the Library and the College via the network. Although popular with staff and users, access to FIRSTSEARCH databases was discontinued after June 30, due to greatly increased costs.
Mediated Searches. As in previous years, we encouraged our patrons to do their own searches. We coached users in individual search tutorials and taught many classes on the use of various databases. As a result of this, the number of mediated searches continued to decline from a total of 313 mediated searches in FY97 to 262 mediated searches in FY98.
Special Information Services. helen-ann brown continued to attend Tumor Board meetings, a weekly gynecologic oncology pathology meeting, and prepared case bibliographies using evidence-based medicine searching strategies. Often, she contributed to the discussion by reporting data found in articles. Other members of the Board cited data from Ms. brown's prepared bibliographies. As a result of her presence at Tumor Board meetings, Ms. brown joined the team forming the Oncology Cluster Patient Information Center. She helped assign subject headings to resources to enhance organization and easy access by patients and their families.
Patricia Tomasulo and helen-ann brown worked with the 4th-year students taking M101, the Ambulatory Care elective, giving one-on-one search seminars researching a diagnostic question and then finding quality articles for a patient case study. They received excellent evaluations for this service and the course instructors invited them to continue next year.
Dr. Braude, helen-ann brown, and Patricia Tomasulo taught the Information Skills class in the Master's Program in Clinical Epidemiology and Health Services Research again in the Fall of 1997. One of the goals was to achieve a change in the participants' information seeking behavior. A three-session online searching clinic preceded the ten, weekly sessions. Each student planned and ran an online search on a topic of special interest to them. The search served as a pretest for the forthcoming sessions. During the last session, the participants ran the search strategy again. Besides a written evaluation form, this search strategy indicated to the instructors a change in information seeking behavior. helen-ann brown, Patricia Tomasulo, and Dr. Braude described the design of the evaluation tools, the method for evaluating the Information Skills class, and the results of these course evaluations in a paper presented at the MLA Annual Meeting in May.
Support of the New WMC Curriculum. The Library continued to assign faculty from Information Services to support the Education Center course coordinators and faculty. The Library faculty liaisons attended weekly case briefings and tutor orientation sessions and took requests for readings and additional literature to support the courses. The Information Services and Circulation Services program areas worked closely together to facilitate timely access to the readings for the students.
Throughout the school year, the Library
offered course readings in print and electronic format. One set of readings
was placed on Reserve and another set was made available from a link on the
Library's web site, http://lib2.med.cornell.edu. Library staff scanned the articles,
and, subsequently, staff from Library Computer Services converted the articles
into PDF format and mounted them on the Library's Web Page. Students linked
to these articles via computers in the Library and Weill Education Center. Using
Adobe Acrobat reader, the students read, saved and/or printed the documents.
From August 1997 through June 12, 1998 there was a total of 64,101 accesses
to the Electronic Reserves and a total printing of 12,681. Information Services
faculty members: Patricia Tomasulo, Jeanne Strausman, helen-ann brown, and the
Head, Library Computer Services, Octavio Morales, presented a poster on Course
Reserves at the MLA Annual Meeting in May.
Match Day. The Library again hosted the annual Match Day ceremony.
Art Shows. The Seventh Medical Complex Art Show was held November 1997 through January 1998. Rowan Abbensetts, a Security Officer at Rockefeller University, and Mary Ellen McDonnell, Director of Physical Therapy at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, shared in receipt of the "Golden Harvest Award" for best in show. Eleven other artists also received recognition for the quality of their work. In addition to the Medical Complex Art Show, other art shows by Metropolitan Painters & Sculptors, featuring Felix Bronner, and the Artist League of Brooklyn adorned the Library throughout the year.

New Equipment. Power Macintoshes were installed to serve "Software Collection" and "Reference Resources." This increased speed and translated into quicker response time to our patrons.
Bibliographic Data Migration from LIS to III. Computer Services began to prepare for migration of the Library's data from LIS to III. Georgetown University's exporting routines were utilized to facilitate the migration of the bibliographic data and the accompanying item records, as well as the existing patron files. Routines to export serial items will be discussed in the coming months. There was ongoing cooperation among RUL, MSKCC, and Weill/Cornell to facilitate data migration and data defaults.
New Scanner. A Minolta EPIC 3000 scanner was installed in InterLibrary Services to enhance productivity. Initially, there were problems with hardware and software (i.e. scanner would not work with Ariel), but these problems were solved. This scanner now has the ability to send and receive interlibrary requests via fax/Ariel. The e-mail portion of the scanner workstation introduced several problems and was temporarily abandoned.
Library's Web Site. Development of the Library's web site continued and many pages were revised and redesigned. The overall look of the pages is more consistent and the utility of the site continues to be refined. The web team, composed of representatives from Collection Development, Circulation, Information Services, and Computer Services, continues to meet regularly to review plans and enhancements for the site.
