Thank you for your kind thoughts!!!

I wanted to thank all of you who took the time to send me email. Your thoughts and appreciation are worth much more than you can imagine. I am glad that over the years I have apparently made a difference in your lives, and that is what counts. Continue to work hard and hopefully you will be rewarded with a successful medical career! I will always cherish the years I spent at the medical school working with bright students and intelligent and caring faculty. Zana

Goodbye and Goodluck

I wanted to say goodbye and wish all of you the best of luck at medical school and in your future careers. I am sorry that I won't be able to serve your library needs as I had during the past 22 years. If you need help with database searching you might consider contacting the Rutgers Library of Science and Medicine on the Busch campus, or using the tutorials and information on the UMDNJ Library websites.
My personal email address is zanaett77@yahoo.com if you wish to contact me.

Decision to Close the Media Library

The administration has decided to close the Media Library permanently in the next few months, due to financial uncertainties and departmental budget reductions. Media Library staff are being laid off, and hours will most likely change and be drastically reduced after September 18. If this is a concern to you, please contact your class representative or a member of the administration.

Labor Day Holiday Hours

The Media Library will be closed for the holiday on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, Sept. 5, 6 and 7. If you wish to take books out over the long weekend, they can be checked out on Friday afternoon/evening. We will be open until 9 pm on Friday, Sept. 4.
