Midway between Autumn Equinox and Winter Solstice seems like an ideal time for a restorative session of Himalayan singing bowls led by CCM’s Ken Glowacki. Join us on Friday, November 9, at 7 PM for an evening sound bath in a dark and cozy library. You will experience a gentle release of tension and gain re-alignment as you let the soft sounds of singing bowls, gongs, and bells surround you. Come with a yoga mat and pillows or use our chairs. It will be a great way to wrap up the week.

This summer, we expanded our ebook collection by about 3,000 titles! These include a full range of health and medicine topics, including anatomy and physiology, diseases and their treatment, ethics, health communication, community and global health, Chinese medicine, healthcare management, and so much more. In order to find ebooks in our catalog, search for whatever topic interests you and then filter the results, like this:

 

• Go to library.nunm.edu
• Find the search box and enter a topic of interest
• Once you see some search results, look on the left side for Availability
• Click NUNM Online …
• Under Resource Type, choose Books

You can read these books online or download a chapter or two to go. Get in touch with a librarian if you want to know more.

The librarians have been busy bees this summer! In response to your desire for upgrades in the library, the group study rooms now have new paint, new tables, and new chairs.

We also heard concerns about the lighting in those rooms, so we made some adjustments to it, including dimmable LEDs.

And, last but not least, we added a large monitor in one room, which will allow you to screen media or practice presentations.

We’d love to know what you think of these changes.

When you search the library catalog for the first time this term, you may notice some changes. Our new user interface has a fresh, modern look and is more user friendly.

Start your search on the library homepage, as usual. On the search results page, you’ll see a new navigation menu that puts important options right at your fingertips.

If you log in to your library account, you will be able to easily see and renew the items you have checked out, as well as track fines and requests. You also have the option to save items to your Favorites for later. We’ll be happy to give you a tour of the new interface any time — just ask!

We are pleased to introduce Sol and Luna, our new acupuncture models.  These high-quality models stand over two feet tall and were developed in cooperation with experienced European acupuncture specialists. Both contain 396 acupuncture points, with conduction paths colored according to the 5 phases.  Points have no labeling, resulting in a cleaner design and making accurate identification significantly easier.

Sol and Luna reside in a beautiful, new display case next to the front door of the library.  They can be used in the library, or checked out for 4 hours to use outside the library.

Come take these two for a spin!

In March, the library asked NUNM students to participate in the biennial survey. And boy did you deliver! About 58% of the NUNM student body completed the survey (the average response rate of surveys is 30-40%).

Want to see what we learned? Well, we took your advice and made a sign. Come see it now, in the library!

Finals are coming, and we know you need a place to study. We’ve got your back — the library will be open EXTRA HOURS starting this Saturday, June 16! So, come get ready to rock your exams with extended hours!

The NUNM Library is teaming up with the Student Life department to help you pay off your library late fines and help your fellow classmates!

All you have to do is bring any non-perishable food items to the Library Office (suite 101b) from June 4th to June 15th, and you’ll receive credit towards your library fines total. 1 item will reduce your fines by $1. So simple!

All food items will be donated to the student food pantry. Any items you can contribute are most welcomed. You will be helping those students and student families who can use a little boost food-wise.

Join us on Friday, June 1 at 7 PM for a restorative demonstration of Himalayan singing bowls by CCM’s Ken Glowacki. At this evening sound bath, you will experience a gentle release of tension and gain re-alignment as you let the soft sound of singing bowls, gong sounds and bells surround you and pass over you. Come with a yoga mat and pillows or use the chairs in the library. It will be a great way to start your weekend.

Midterm exams are right around the corner, which means the library will be open for extended hours! So, come by if you need a quiet place to read or a space for your study group to get together. We may even have some precious coffee to keep you fueled!
