A Letter from the President

5/17/2021

 
Hello FHSLA Members!
My name is Susan Harnett and I will have the privilege of serving as your FHSLA President for 2021-2022.  A little background on me: I am the Medical Information Services Librarian at Borland Library, University of Florida in Jacksonville.  I have been at UF since 2016, and previously worked as a clinical librarian at Eastern Virginia Medical School in Norfolk, VA; and Naval Medical Center, Portsmouth, VA.  I live in Ponte Vedra with my husband and three cats; my 22 year old daughter is a recent UF graduate starting her first job, and my 24 year old son works in IT Security. 
I would like to thank our outgoing President, Jaclyn Castek, for her leadership during these very unusual times, and Past President Tara Brigham for her invaluable assistance as I learn the ropes. I would also like to thank the members of the Executive Committee:
  • Lauren Atkins-Secretary
  • Melinda Johnson-Treasurer
  • Carrie Adams, Chair, Honors & Awards Committee
  • Mitzi Mack-Social Media Coordinator
  • Stephanie Harris-Chair, Membership
  • Tim Kircher and Janet Chan- Co-Chairs, Newsletter/Blog 
  • Jorge Perez-Webmaster
  • Mary Kate Haver and Erica Powell-FHSLA/TBLC Collaboration Special Committee Co-Chairs
who all worked hard to develop programming and partnerships promoting health science librarianship and health education.  And I extend a special thank you to all our FHSLA members, whose enthusiasm, ideas and flexibility helped FHSLA meet the challenges of this very unique and trying year.
Some of our achievements this year were:
  •  Virtual Annual Meeting “Inclusion and Social Distancing” (April 2021), featuring
  • Implicit Bias Training for Information Professionals (Kelsa Bartley, Shannon Jones and Dr. Kimberly L. Reynolds
  • Poster Session 
  •  Vendor Presentations
  • Adapting Services for Remote Access Panel Discussion (Shalu Gillum and Carly Lambert, UCF; Lydia Howes and Geoff Pettys, SIU; Devica Samsundar, Baptist Health)
  • Predatory Publishing CE (October 2020)
  • TBLC/FHSLA Webinar Collaboration

As a small (but mighty!) organization, we depend on talented volunteers to keep us moving. If you haven’t volunteered for one of our committees, feel free to contact me, or any of our executive board members to learn more about opportunities and upcoming projects.  I look forward to working with everyone!

Susan Harnett. President, 2021-2022
