Library Storage Move, June 15 – June 26, 2009

The library’s older collections are located at an off-site storage facility. The collections include books published between 1901 and 1984 and journals published before 1954. Starting Monday, June 15, all items will be moved to a new storage site on West Campus in the Wilson Clark Center. This move will provide faster turnaround for our users, and better environmental control for our older materials. 

We regret that during the move, we will be unable to retrieve requested items, except in the case of clinical emergencies.

We urge users to request older materials before June 5.  We will waive any overdue fines for storage items through June 30.

We apologize for any inconvenience the move may cause.  Please feel free to contact Judith Norton, norton@ohsu.edu, with any questions or concerns.

The OHSU Library will be closed on Monday, May 25, 2009 in observance of Memorial Day. The library will resume regular hours on Tuesday, May 26. For additional information on library hours see http://www.ohsu.edu/library/hours.shtml

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.

To browse or search this collection, go to the OHSU Digital Resources Library at:  http://drl.ohsu.edu/ and click on “Computer Science Technical Reports”.
