Howard University - Louis Stokes Health Sciences Library

Steering Committee October 1, 1996 Dear [Committee Member]: I take this opportunity to request your assistance in planning for a state-of-the-art Health Sciences Library/Learning Resource Center (HSL/LRC). My perspective on the new HSL/LRC transcends that of a traditional library, and incorporates telemedicine activities, as well as, the venue for substantive community health education. You can be of invaluable assistance to the Health Sciences Center’s special effort for effectively planning a state-of-the-art digital HSL/LRC, through your membership on the HSL/LRC Steering Committee. Members of the health sciences faculty, external resource persons and senior staff have been invited to serve with the steering committee. Your input to this group is pivotal to my long term plan for the Howard University Health Sciences Center to evolve as a national model for excellence. Materials from the "Report of the Task Force on Planning Proposed Learning Resources Facility/Health Science Library" (1998) are enclosed for your review prior to attending the initial meeting. The initial meeting of the HSL/LRC Steering Committee will be held on Monday, October 7, 1996 at 2:00 p.m., in the Vice President for Health Affairs Conference Room, room 6003, Howard University Hospital Ambulatory Care Center. The agenda for the meeting is enclosed. Drs. Robert Copeland, Associate Professor of Pharmacology and Angella D. Ferguson, Associate Vice President for Health Affairs, have agreed to serve as co-chairs of the Committee. I take this opportunity to express my appreciation for your willingness to assist in this important undertaking. Sincerely, Floyd J. Malveaux, M.D., Ph.D. Interim Vice President for Health Affairs Dean, College of Medicine
