The Patient & Family Resource Center Relocates
The Patient & Family Resource Center (PFRC), a branch of the NYU Health Sciences Libraries, has moved to the 1st floor of Schwartz Health Care Building, Room 103 from its former location on the 14th floor. Now located next door to the Blood Donor Center, the PFRC shares this refurbished space with the Diabetes Education Center. Specializing in consumer health, the PFRC caters to patients and their families as well as to patient educators. A medical librarian and trained volunteers offer on-site assistance with finding the best information in the most appropriate format for all literacy levels. The PFRC also provides email reference service and will mail via US post customized packets of printed information upon request. In addition, patient education resources can be faxed or delivered to nurses’ stations.
Please visit us at our new location and browse the print collection, search for information online, or speak with a medical librarian. The PFRC can still be reached by phone at 212.263.7438; by email: patientlibrary@library.med.nyu.edu; or online at http://pfrc.med.nyu.edu

National Library Week: April 13-April 19, 2008
In honor of the 50th anniversary of National Library Week, which was first jointly sponsored by the American Library Association (ALA) and the National Book Committee in 1958, Ehrman Medical Library is taking a retrospective look at our past with an eye to our future. In the glass display case outside the library’s front doors, there is an exhibit illustrating how the library has changed in the last 50 years and a companion Web site is also available: http://library.med.nyu.edu/library/libinfo/nlw08.html
Many of our library visits and transactions these days are virtual, but the library is a vibrant, busy physical space. We encourage you to stop by the library during National Library Week to find out more about our services: schedule time with our graphics department to prepare a poster or to digitize a video recording; make an appointment with a public services librarian for an information consultation; or register for one of the library’s many courses.
