School of Medicine HealthWise newsletter releasedBy now, you should have received the HealthWise newsletter in campus mail. HealthWise, formerly Connections, is the patient-focused newsletter of the School of Medicine University Specialty Clinics. It's also a good tool to inform faculty and staff about news and events occurring in the clinical area. In addition to the new design and name, there are a number of new features in the newsletter that we hope patients and their families will find informative, including a health Q&A section with answers from our health care experts. If you have any comments or suggestions for future editions, please let me know, charise.bell@uscmed.sc.edu. Enjoy reading!

The big shift will be for the departments that make charges at the bookstore. Departments will need to come ready with a completed requisition/approval form when they charge at the bookstore. Please share this information with your departments. If you have any questions please let me know. 2009 Journal CancellationsIn light of budget constraints in 2008-09, the Library cancelled the print version of numerous journals effective January 2009 due to low use of the print version. These titles will continue to be available online. The print and online versions of twelve journal titles were cancelled effective January 2009 due to low use of both the print and online versions.
