Robert Knox | Man, his structure and physiology | March 2019 Notes from the John Martin Rare Book Room @Hardin Library

Posted on March 8, 2019March 12, 2019 by Sarah Andrews

ROBERT KNOX (1791-1862). Man, his structure and physiology : popularly explained and demonstrated. 2nd ed. London ; New York: H. Bailliere, 1858.

This popular introduction to anatomy and physiology was written by the noted – if somewhat infamous – Edinburgh anatomist Robert Knox. Knox believed that a knowledge of human structure and physiology was vital, forming the basis for a better understanding of the structure and nature of all living bodies.

He hoped that this elementary yet detailed introduction would encourage the reader to pursue further study in not only human anatomy, but also in the field of zoology. One of the best and most enthusiastic teachers of anatomy during the 19th century, Knox’s emphasis upon practical dissection led to his indiscreet and notorious association with the Edinburgh ‘resurrectionists’, Burke and Hare. When their crimes came to light, he was implicated, savagely attacked in the literature of the day, and his effigy was burnt by the populace.

Although exonerated by Burke, an influential committee of his peers accused him of acting incautiously and failing to ensure that his assistants properly vetted their cadaver suppliers. The episode haunted him and tarnished the rest of his career. He then turned his attention to ethnology and anthropology, and found some success in these fields.

Researchers: Find Funding and Collaborators | Pivot Database

Posted on March 8, 2019March 12, 2019 by Sarah Andrews

image of circle graph with $ in middle Pivot now makes it easier for researchers to search for potential collaborators and external funding opportunities.

University of Iowa faculty, staff, and students may now use the database to identify funding opportunities from governments, corporations, non-profit organizations, foundations, and other private sources. Users may also sign up to receive weekly funding alerts based on their search criteria. Tip: add relevant keywords to your profile in order to better identify relevant funding.

Pivot replaces the University of Iowa’s subscription to the SPIN funding database.

In addition to the funding search tools, Pivot also offers functionality to support research collaborations. Users can search for researcher expertise on the University of Iowa campus or at other institutions within the U.S. and internationally. 3M faculty profiles are included in the database.

Questions about using the Pivot database may be directed to Oliva Smith in the Division of Sponsored Programs at oliva-smith@uiowa.edu or 335-3708.

The launch of Pivot on the University of Iowa campus is a collaborative effort from the Research Development Office, Division of Sponsored Programs, and the UI Libraries.

No More Recalls ! | Get Checked-Out Books Faster, Keep Materials Longer

Posted on January 3, 2019January 3, 2019 by Sarah Andrews

Do you need to use a book checked out to someone else? The UI Libraries’ new default option for getting a copy of a book that is in use is to request it through interlibrary loan, rather than recall it from the person who has it checked out.

The Libraries’ interlibrary loan* service will get a copy of the needed material from another library, at no charge to you. On average, it takes 6.5 days to get a book through interlibrary loan. In contrast, when a book is recalled from another user, that user is given at least a week to return it, and sometimes longer, depending on when they had checked the book out. This change also means that materials you have checked out are less likely to be recalled from you.

If you have never requested a book or journal article through interlibrary loan, you will need to fill out a registration form the first time. There is no limit on the number of interlibrary loan requests UI faculty, staff, students, or residents can make, and requests can be for any use, including entertainment.

Books may still be recalled by UI Libraries staff when they are needed for course reserves.

If you have questions about interlibrary loan or any other UI Libraries service or policy, contact Hardin staff at 319-335-9151.

*What are Interlibrary Loans?
Interlibrary loans are materials borrowed from another library for use by a user or loaned to another library for their patron’s use.
The lending library does not know which user has requested the materials.

Hippocrates Translated by François Rabelais | December 2018 Notes from the John Martin Rare Book Room @Hardin Library

Posted on November 29, 2018February 7, 2019 by Sarah Andrews

portrait of François Rabelais by unknown painter

HIPPOCRATES (ca. 460 B.C.-ca. 368 B.C.). Aphorismorum Hippocratis sectiones septem. Lyons: Apud Seb. Gryphium, 1543.

The John Martin Rare Book Room holds 21 titles by Hippocrates published from 1527 through the 1800’s. This volume, translated from the Greek to Latin is by François Rabelais (ca. 1490-1553?). Rabelais was a French physician, Catholic monk, and noted humanist, best known for his series —Pantagruel and Gargantua –the comic and satirical masterpieces directed against the superstitions and pretenses of his day.

He entered Montpellier to study medicine late in 1530 and by 1532 was physician to the Hôtel Dieu in Lyons. Rabelais compiled and edited the first edition of the present work while at Lyons in 1532. He was one of the first to lecture from Greek texts and, in the book’s dedicatory letter to his good friend Geoffroy d’Estissac, Bishop of Maillezais, indicates that the translation was made from his own ancient text because existing Latin translations were filled with errors. The Greek text of the Aphorismi with its own special title page is added at the end of the book. The book also includes Hippocrates’ De medico, medicine officio liber, Liber de lege, and Liber de specie, acie, visuve, & opsios oculorum corrupta.
