From Your Director, Lori Fitterling, MLS 
Congratulations 2023 graduates! It has been an honor to provide library services to all of you, and as you begin your professional journey, please rely on your information-seeking skills and look to evidence-based resources to lead in your professional practice. It is essential to rely on accurate and trustworthy information to provide high-quality patient care. Please know that you can always turn to the library for support in your pursuit of reliable information. Take care and best to you all!
To celebrate National Library Week, KC and Joplin supplied students with extra treats and opportunities to win prizes from the library staff! In Joplin, there was a Lego guessing game and KC had a candy bear filled with treats, both required entries asking for the amount with a prize going to the closest guess. Our candy bear winner was off by only 1 treat of 235!
Other prize winners were drawn from entries asking their favorite author/book or favorite thing about the library. Seeing the answers range from candy, quiet places to study, online resources, and our fabulous student workers helps to highlight this year's theme of "More to the Story". The staff at your library are here to support you in your medical journal needs, and we continue to look for innovative ideas to expand library services.
As we wind down this year and creep closer to commencement, summer break, and warmer weather, this can become a time for stress and anxiety. Finding the time to quell that or listen to our bodies can seem time-consuming when we are racing towards a finish line. The good thing about meditation is that taking a moment, even a small one, to find your center is beneficial. See the 5-4-3-2-1 Method below from the University of Rochester Medical Center for a technique that can be practiced anywhere.
Use this technique to help you center within your body and accept the situation of your reality as it currently is, no judgement or correction needed.
Feel free to stop by the D'Angelo Library and make use of our VR Headset technology in our Wellness Room for a more immersive session!
