Donate a Book-You'll Feel Great!
The Health Sciences Libraries would love to receive a book donation from you.  Do you receive review copies?  Do you have other newer books you find you are not using?  The HSL could use your help as our resources budget is very stressed this biennium.  We will be extremely limited in our ability to purchase new books so your donation will have a positive effect on our collection.  Your donation will have a bookplate placed in it indicating you are the donor.  Please contact Colleen Weum, weum@u.washington.edu to answer your questions.

We also graciously accept your financial gifts.  Such gifts permit us to purchase items essential in managing a state-of-the-art health sciences library.  An online form at: https://secure.gifts.washington.edu/common/
gift.asp?source_typ=2&source=EID will quickly take your donor information.  You may also contact Sherrilynne Fuller, Director, at (206) 543-5531 to discuss financial gift opportunities.  Thank you!

Password Request Form for Electronic Journals
Have you ever been prompted with a "Password Required" when trying to access an e-journal such as NEJM?  Now there is an easy form to use to request journal passwords for the handful of journals on HealthLinks requiring them.  You can also find this form via the HealthLinks Journals page, /journals/ as the second selection, "Password Request Form Request a Remote Connection Password."  Click on this and it takes you to the form.  This new feature should streamline your request for e-journal passwords.
