2002 Annual Report to the President from the Health Sciences Round Table

The Health Sciences Round Table sponsored “The Invisible Reference Desk: Options for Real Time Reference” presented by Ron Leonard, Membership Librarian at Solinet. The program focused on the current choices for Virtual Reference Desks, or VRD. Featured were the products 24/7, LSSI, and QuestionPoint. Judging by the lively discussions, the program was a success.

HSRT held a business meeting afterward at which the officers for 2003 were elected. Repeating as chair for 2003 is Victor Jenkinson of the USC School of Medicine Library. The incoming Vice Chair is Laura Cousineau of the MUSC library, and the incoming Secretary is Mary Ann Camp of the Spartanburg Regional Healthcare System.

The Health Sciences Round Table looks forward to 2003 and a chance to reinvigorate its role in Health Sciences Librarianship in South Carolina. Please feel free to contact this year’s Chair with any thoughts or suggestions about programming or services the HSRT can address in the following year. You can contact Victor at (803) 733–3344 or vjenkins@med.sc.edu.
