Veteran’s Day is not a University of Iowa holiday. The library will be open regular hours from 7:30am-Midnight.
The University of Iowa Health Sciences Policy Council will host “Rebalancing Health Care in the Heartland 5 : Shaping Iowa’s Health Care Landscape” with keynote speaker Susan Dentzer.
November 13, 2012 at Embassy Suites in Des Moines, Iowa. Register online (http://rebalancinghealthcare.uiowa.edu/).
Iowa’s health care landscape continues to be shaped by powerful forces. The Supreme Court’s ruling on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, the upcoming elections, and new legislation could profoundly influence the future direction of health policy. Despite the uncertainty, changes are occurring that will likely continue–such as providers and insurers working together to increase accountability for the cost and quality of care, and payments based on value, not volume.
Join fellow Iowans for this non-partisan, one-day conference focused on the significant changes and resulting challenges in health service delivery today.
Hardin Library for the Health Sciences is also a sponsor for this conference.

Open-access (OA) literature is digital, online, free of charge, and free of most copyright and licensing restrictions. What makes it possible is the internet and the consent of the author or copyright-holder. OA is entirely compatible with peer review, and all the major OA initiatives for scientific and scholarly literature insist on its importance. Just as authors of journal articles donate their labor, so do most journal editors and referees participating in peer review.
OA literature is not free to produce, even if it is less expensive to produce than conventionally published literature. The question is not whether scholarly literature can be made costless, but whether there are better ways to pay the bills than by charging readers and creating access barriers.
Here is a list of Faculty across the University of Iowa publishing in Open Access journals.

This week, October 6-12, is National Physician Assistants Week. Last year, Rep. Karen Bass recognized PAs during a short statement to the House of Representatives. This year, a group of PA’s and students will be heading to Rockefeller Plaza to appear on the Today Show.
You can learn more about PA’s and what they do from the American Academy of Physician Assistants (AAPA). You might also be interested in learning more about the history of this profession which has been around since the mid-60′s. The PA program here at the University of Iowa is well known as top ranking program in the nation.
Happy PA week from all of us at Hardin Library!

The library is closed because public transportation is re-routed or slower due to crowds of football fans. All parking lots are reserved for football fans or on-call staff at UIHC. Walking or riding a bike is difficult on the West Campus before and after football games.
The 24-hour study will be open to those who have access cards.
