(1) Identifying New Information Needs (Faculty)
From Jessica Bell, Office of the Provost
The library is putting out a call to faculty to let us know about new information needs in this new world of online teaching. We are currently trialing several databases and collections to support teaching anatomy and clinical skills and would love to have your input about those resources as well as suggestions for others. Please visit our
Free Trials page and
be in touch to let us know what’s missing.

(6) Virtual Bone Marrow Drive (Institute Wide)
From JP Bonadonna, Student Government Association
The SGA Community Outreach Committee is partnering with
Be the Match to host a Virtual Bone Marrow Drive. Although we are all adhering to stay-at-home practices, there are still ways to assist our community. While the chances of finding a bone marrow match are 77% for white Americans, these numbers are drastically reduced for racial minorities - 57% for American Indian and Alaska Native, 46% for Hispanic or Latinx, 41% for Asian or Pacific Islander, and 23% for Black or African American. Simply
register online or by texting MGHIHP to 61474 and a kit will be sent to your home. Don't forget to spread the word to classmates, friends, and family.
