Guest guest Posted June 5, 2003 Report Share Posted June 5, 2003 Good Morning: My name is Gabriel Hegyes and I am the Library Director at the Florida College of Integrative Medicine in Orlando. I provide the following professional summary to the group for subscription approval. I am an active member of a committee of librarians dubbed LOOM, Librarians of Oriental Medicine. As a result of a two-day meeting that coincided with the fall gathering of CCOAM, several recommendations were made: 1. The development and evaluation of a library survey was assigned to me. The results of the survey are due to be distributed in the summer of 2003. 2. The CCAOM Visioning Committee should consider funding the start-up of a comprehensive intercollegiate Oriental Medicine periodical index, to be coordinated by LOOM and produced by member schools, at least quarterly, in all appropriate formats. There is no such commercial index and our discipline’s professional literature is so tightly focused that a commercial publisher is unlikely to ever take it on. Without such an index, our students and faculty remain unable to maximize the use of journals purchased by each college’s library. I have 20 years experience in academic, special, and public libraries. Before my library career, I was an elementary and secondary school teacher. Highlights of my career include working as Coordinator of the Sustainable Agriculture Network at the National Agriculture Library, in Beltsville, MD. My publications include Future Horizons: Recent Literature in Sustainable Agriculture, an anthology of book reviews, University of Nebraska; Central Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (SARE) Program Annual Report; and "Biotechnology and Industrial Uses for Agricultural Products." Choices for the Heartland: Alternative Directions for Biotechnology Research. I also worked as an independent researcher, most notably in the Medical Director’s Office at the Arkansas Department of Corrections Diagnostic Center, Pine Bluff. I look forward to a rewarding association with Chinese Herbal Medicine. Best regards, Gabriel A.
