Texas Treasures Grant
March 1, 1999 - February 29, 2000 "Texas Physicians, 1905-1966: A Biographical Database" Helen Mayo, principal
investigator
UT Southwestern Library's History of the Health Sciences
Collection includes a card file of approximately 10,500 citations to biographical
information about Texas physicians. The vast majority of the citations refers
to obituaries and death notices from the Texas State Journal of Medicine
from 1905-1966. These death notices were not indexed in Index Medicus,
making the card file a unique and valuable resource for establishing the
year in which a physician died.
At the present time, historical
researchers and genealogists must either travel to Dallas to browse the card file
or call the Library with a specific physician's name. The Library owns a run of
Texas State Journal of Medicine for the years indexed by the card file
and fills interlibrary loan requests from that journal.
Project
Goal: UT Southwestern Library proposes to enter the citations from the card file
into a searchable database which will be available via the internet using a World
Wide Web browser.

This project will promote MedlinePlus as a valuable resource to high school students and their families for information on health topics (in particular, obesity, diabetes and heart disease) and health professions through exhibits at various health fairs targeting these population groups. In addition to demonstrations in the use of MedlinePlus, print materials will be developed as handouts for distribution at these events in both English and Spanish..
The goals of this project include enhancing availability of information about Dallas’ medical history, improving public awareness of historical resources available online and preserving original images. This project will create a digital repository for over 500 images illustrating the history of medicine in Dallas. A web exhibit featuring high interest images will also be created.

Nurses and allied health professionals will receive training on PubMed, including the use of the MeSH database. Classes on MedlinePlus, Genetics Home Reference and other government health websites will be provided to public libraries in Collin, Dallas and Denton counties. Students enrolled in the Joint Admission Medical Program will be introduced to a variety of NLM databases to give them the basic information proficiency skills that will assist them in their pre-med studies.
