Hey- the music CD collection here at Cabell is really improving lately--thanks! Do you plan to buy CDs produced by the VCU Music faculty, such as Rex Richardson and others? If you haven't considered doing that, please do!

Kevin Farley, Collection Librarian for the Humanities, responds....
Thank you for your supportive comment about the Jazz holdings at VCU Libraries - we have been working very hard to improve this collection in the last year or so. We are especially interested in collecting recordings by VCU faculty members in the Department of Music, and will acquire the recordings you suggest when our ordering season resumes in July. Again, thank you for your encouragement and support, and please let us know if your have more suggestions and requests for enhancing this important collection.

I would like to suggest The Internet Library for Nurses for inclusion into your links. It is located at http://www.medimenu.com/users/.

Lynne U. Turman, Head, Tompkins-McCaw Library Collections, replies....
Thank you for the suggestion to include this site as a link from the VCU Libraries web pages. One of the ways we assist users in finding information is through Research and Topic Guides - http://www.library.vcu.edu/guides/ . These subject-based guides are developed by library staff with knowledge and expertise in a particular discipline. Web sites included in the guides are evaluated for accuracy, currency, style, sponsorship, and appropriateness for our primary clientele, the University community. Your site will be considered and reviewed for possible inclusion at the next revision of the Nursing Resources Guide - http://www.library.vcu.edu/tml/bibs/nursing.html.
