    • New Library Services Make Debut

  • The Bird Library is transitioning to a new set of tools to provide enhanced library services. These tools include:

  • ILLiad - A new document delivery system designed to make it easier for you to request articles. (The current document delivery form will be available for a short period during this transition, but will eventually be phased out). Learn more at our Document Delivery page.

  • Serials Solutions - The library's new E-Journals & E-Books portal. Improved searching and access to the library's collection of electronic content. (Look for the new E-Journals & E-Books link).

  • Online Catalog - Over the Summer the library launched a new online catalog. The new catalog makes it easier to find and access the print and electronic content the library holds.
    Visit the catalog now.

    • Bird Library Director Wins MLA President's Award

  • Marty Thompson, Director of the Robert M. Bird Health Sciences Library, was awarded the President's Award at the Medical Library Association (MLA) Annual Conference held in May 2009.



    MLA President Mary Ryan presents the President's Award to Marty Thompson.

    The President's Award is given to an MLA member who has been selected by the association's officers and Board of Directors for a notable or important contribution made during the past association year. The contribution must have enhanced the profession of health sciences librarianship or furthered the objectives of the association.
