Three great topics were recently presented at the Breezing Along with the Regional Medical Library session on July 16. Judi Bergjord, Creighton Health Science Library, along with Chris Carmichael and Madonna Knutson presented their event featuring the NLM Traveling Exhibit – Shakespeare and the Four Humors. They collaborated with other Creighton faculty/services to provide a lecture on the four humors, a Maypole dance, fortune telling, a soliloquy performance and Renaissance food. Most inventive and a great way to give some attention to both the Health Science Library and the Reinert undergraduate library.
Further, John Schleicher, Head of Special Collections from UNMC, presented a humor/cartoon collection covering more than 50 years of medical humor. The times have changed and so have cartoons!
And as another tie-in to History of Medicine, Trenton Boyd presented a fascinating look back on Veterinary History of Medicine, and the collection at the University of Missouri – Columbia.
