Computer Science Technical Reports Collections goes live!

This collection is drawn from a group of reports generated by faculty, staff and students of the OGI Department of Computer Science and Engineering (now referred to as the Biomedical Computer Science Division of the Department of Science & Engineering, OHSU School of Medicine), from 1982 - 1997. The reports were formerly maintained online by the department, but due to technical limitations, BMCS was no longer able to host them.

The reports were passed on to the Diack Library (OHSU Science & Engineering Library, formerly OGI Library) in Fall 2008. The Library digitized print versions and converted unusable digital formats that so that all possible reports could be included within this collection of the OHSU Digital Resource Library. The reports are published as “open access” and are available for worldwide access.

New interface for Digital Resources Library

The OHSU Digital Resources Library has a new interface! Our digital collections have new individual collection pages which offer enhanced collection specific information such as subject index pages and browse/search by individual collection. Other highlights include:

  • The former Main Collection has been renamed as the “Campus Collection” to better reflect what it contains–pictures of campus buildings and the Portland Aerial Tram.
  • The site also includes many digitized materials from Historical Collections & Archives, including images of buildings and individuals associated with OHSU throughout its 120+ year history.
  • Browse or search our Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection for electronic copies of theses and dissertations produced by students at OHSU’s Department of Science and Engineering and other OHSU departments.

OHSU faculty, staff and students (and for some collections, the general public) may use the images and other media found in these collections for conference presentations, staff training, and education purposes. For more information about the OHSU Digital Resources Library, or to donate digital materials to our collections, please contact Ms. Friday Valentine, Serials and Metadata Librarian, at valentif@ohsu.edu, or call 503-494-0883.

Portland Aerial TramThe OHSU Library is pleased to announce the online publication of digital images from the Kent Anderson Collection.

Kent Anderson, OHSU Fire Suppression Systems Technician and freelance photographer, has generously donated nearly 1300 images to the OHSU Digital Resources Library Main Collection. These images cover recent OHSU expansion including the construction and opening of the Portland Aerial Tram, the Peter O. Kohler Pavilion, and the Biomedical Research Building. This initial batch of 100+ images concentrates on the Tram in order to provide high-resolution images of this historic landmark for non-profit educational purposes.
