I wanted to let everyone know that this will be my last issue as the Library's Newsletter Editor, as the newsletter in its current format will be sunsetting with this issue. I have thoroughly enjoyed working on the newsletter for the past 30+ years, and just to clarify, I am not retiring from the Library. Instead, I am transitioning in my role as I continue to serve the Library in various capacities. 

As I look back, the single word that best describes this experience is change. I have seen the newsletter transition from paper to pdf to online format, covering a plethora of stories over the years. And I have enjoyed every minute of it! Not only have I honed my skills and become a better editor in the process, but I have also relished the collaborative journey with diverse individuals over the years, all of whom have played a pivotal role in the newsletter's success.    

As I look forward, I anticipate there is more change to come.

On June 19, 1865, the Emancipation Proclamation (which had been issued on January 1, 1863) was finally read to enslaved African Americans in Texas. Known as Juneteenth, this official holiday recognizes the end of slavery in the United States and celebrates the culture and achievements of African Americans.

Medical Center Library & Archives staff will be unavailable on Wednesday, June 19, 2024. Access to the building will not be available during this time for reserving spaces. Staff will be back at work on Thursday, June 20.

Graduation is an important and exciting time of change for many students. Sadly, one of these changes may involve losing access to many Duke resources such as library subscriptions to journals and databases.

Before You Lose Access

• Go through your saved citations and PDFs and decide which ones you want to keep. If there are any articles that you would like to get PDFs for, do this before you leave while you still have access to free full text.
• Evaluate your citation manager needs before you leave. If you are using Endnote, double-check that you have the most current version on a personal device. This access will last you for a couple years, but you will have to repurchase it at some point for approximately $250. Free citation management options, like Zotero, are excellent alternatives!

Suggestions for Free Resources You Can Use

Duke OneLink   
Duke graduates can use their NetID and email account for one year after graduation; however, your NetID will no longer allow you to access the same software, journal articles or databases that you can while you are a student. The alumni office is offering a very limited set of resources that require you to set up a Duke OneLink Account. These resources are not medically focused, but they are worth checking out since they are free. 

Resources through the Library   
Though you may be leaving Duke, you will still have access to the Llibrary's Website! Under the Guides section of our site, there are resources for helping you conduct research, using databases, writing and citing, and finding and accessing things like images. These curated guides frequently point to free resources found around the Internet.  The tools for staying current can be super useful for keeping up with new research in your field. Our Duke Alumni Services page may also be useful. 

Free Clinical Tools for Health Professionals   
Though this Libguide provides a full list of free resources, the following are worth special mention.

• PubMed Central, a sub-section of PubMed, is guaranteed to have full text articles. Since critical appraisal is important, keep in mind that not all of the articles will be from peer-reviewed journals. The PubMed database will always be freely available to you, but full text access provided via Duke subscriptions will not be available once you leave Duke.
• Endnote Click can be aded to your browser to automatically check if there is an open access version of the article you want. The open access version may be the author's manuscript or a preprint instead of the final published version.
• Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) has free full text for a variety of vetted open access journals covering many subjects and languages.

Additional Resources to Consider

• Join your NC Area Health Education Center (AHEC): If you will remain in North Carolina, you should consider joining the AHEC and the AHEC Digital Library. For a yearly fee, AHEC members have access to a suite of databases, journals, and other digital resources.
• Contact the Regional Medical Library (RML) in your area: To find out what resources and services are available to you, contact the National Network of Libraries of Medicine (NNLM) at 1-800-338-RMLS (7657), Mon-Fri from 8:30a-5p.
• Explore your local university library: Some college and university libraries allow the public to use their resources if you are physically in the library. It's worth a call or email to find out what the library's access rules are.
• Investigate your public library: Public libraries often subscribe to a few health databases like CINAHL, and they may also have a means to obtain full text articles.
• Review organizational membership perks: Some professional organizations, like the American Physical Therapy Association, offer access to databases or certain journals as a part of their annual memberships.

Kayla Cavenaugh, Medical Center Archives Intern 

The North Carolina Licensed Practical Nurses Association (NCLPNA) Records have been processed and are now open for research. The collection contains administrative records related to the day-to-day operations of the NCLPNA, including meeting minutes, reports, correspondence, education and conference materials, publications, financial and membership records, photographs, publications, and ephemera. Major topics cover licensed practical nursing, nursing education standards in North Carolina, African American women in medicine, North Carolina hospital systems, and healthcare advocacy.

The NCLPNA Records were donated in March 2022 by Jessie Parker Smith, LPN, who served as former Executive Treasurer of the NCLPNA and was a recipient of the Lillian Kuster Award, presented by the National Federation of Licensed Practical Nurses. Smith was also a member of one of the first graduating classes of LPNs from the Durham School of Practical Nursing, with a career at Duke Hospital spanning over 40 years. In 2006, she was celebrated by Duke University Medical Center as a member of the "Trailblazers," the name given to a cohort of the first African American nurses hired by Duke. Read more about her experiences as a Black women in healthcare in her 2022 interview conducted by the Medical Center Archives.  

The NCLPNA was founded in Raleigh, NC, in 1947 with 22 charter members. Their mission was to provide professional development, continuing education opportunities, and political advocacy for Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) and practical nursing students in the state of North Carolina. The NCLPNA stands out as a nursing group established by African American women and LPNs of color who shared knowledge and education, improved patient care, and advocated for their profession. 

In the late 1940s, when North Carolina hospitals still widely segregated hospital services based on a patient’s race, the role of LPN was a vital entry point for women of color into the healthcare profession. In Durham, for example, women of color, including Jessie Parker Smith and fellow Trailblazer Clydie Pugh-Myers, earned LPN certifications through the Durham School of Practical Nursing and received clinical training at Duke Hospital. While the NCLPNA began as a nursing group composed of predominantly Black women and nurses of color, by the 1960s, representation had expanded to reflect a diverse array of backgrounds and identity groups, including men, among LPNs throughout North Carolina.

While processing this collection, I realized that beyond documenting the administrative history of the NCLPNA, this collection is also a glimpse into the vibrant inner worlds of North Carolina hospitals during the latter half of the twentieth century. Growing up in the 1990s, I always overheard my mother and aunt talking about their own lives as registered nurses when they worked at New Hanover Regional Medical Center -- known to me simply as “The Hospital.” Before landing my own job in a hospital decades later, I was always curious to know: Who else worked at The Hospital? What took place in there?

As I worked through this collection, I came across traces of the nurses in their correspondence and bits of ephemera, all mailed directly to the NCLPNA headquarters in Durham from nurses across the state. This included doodles carefully traced in pencil of Lucy playing nurse with Snoopy as her patient, used for designing educational workshop and conference flyers; greeting cards and stationery home to a menagerie of creatures, including a raccoon, a snail, and Garfield; lengthy letters jotted down in looping cursive during nights spent at the ward desk; and an abundance of gossip and hand-snipped newspaper clippings.

“Some nurse.” Ephemera includes undated pencil doodles of Lucy playing nurse, much to Snoopy’s consternation as her patient. Drawings like this might have been run through a photocopier, with the resulting paper copies cut up and pasted onto flyers to promote upcoming events and membership. The empty speech bubbles provided space to write in a call to action. 

In a standout letter signed by Sybil Lucas, LPN, dated December 8, 1964, she imagines a future where her letters remain undisturbed in an archive for centuries. 

A section from Sybil Lucas’ (germ-free) typed letter. While Duke University Medical Center Archives reading room does not have a glass top table, Sybil Lucas’ letters will nevertheless be available for research.

While the NCLPNA no longer exists as a professional network for LPNs today, licensed practical nursing continues to be an area of specialization for many nurses in North Carolina. The correspondence in the collection, especially the letters written by Sybil Lucas, opens many avenues of study about the history of licensed practical nursing in North Carolina. This includes discussions about race in healthcare settings and interpersonal relationships among nursing professionals. This collection will appeal to anyone curious about nursing legislation, education, and advocacy, as well as the experiences of Black and African American healthcare professionals in North Carolina hospitals and healthcare systems during the mid- to late-twentieth century.

Archival collections like the North Carolina Licensed Practical Nurses Association (NCLPNA) Records provide context, evidence, and testimony of the day-to-day experiences of LPNs. We welcome all researchers who are interested in accessing the collection. To view all of our Collections, search the Archives’ holdings

Lesley Skalla, Research & Education

Launched in 2018, the All of Us Research Program is an NIH longitudinal cohort study aimed at advancing precision medicine and improving human health by partnering with more than one million US participants. To provide rich opportunities for researchers in all career stages, the All of Us program is building a unique biomedical dataset of expansive health data from diverse populations, particularly those underrepresented in biomedical research.

What kind of data is available? Data from the All of Us Research Program includes electronic health records (EHRs), biospecimens, participant surveys (including social determinants of health), genomics, physical measurements, and mobile/wearable tech. There are currently 804,000+ participants with ~45% being racial and ethnic minorities and more than 80% underrepresented in biomedical research. The dataset includes 440,000+ EHRs and 568,000+ biosamples.

Who is the data available to? The All of Us Research Hub has a 3-tiered data access model.

• Public Tier data provides summary statistics/aggregate data with identifiers removed and is available through Data Snapshots and the Public Data Browser.
• Registered Tier data includes individual-level data that has been transformed to protect patient privacy and is only available to approved researchers on the Researcher Workbench.
• Controlled Tier data provides approved researchers with an institutional Data Use and Registration Agreement access via the Researcher Workbench to additional individual-level data including whole genome sequences and genotyping arrays.

How does this work? The Researcher Workbench is a cloud-based platform for registered researchers to access and analyze Registered and Controlled Tier data using provided tools such as Jupyter Notebook, RStudio, and SAS Studio. All of Us uses a Passport Access Model where authorized users receive a data passport that lets them create workspaces and conduct research. No separate IRB approval is needed. Duke University has a Data Use Agreement with the All of Us Research Program allowing Duke researchers to apply for Registered and Controlled Tier Access. 

If you are interested in applying for Researcher Workbench access, please connect to the the Register page for information on the steps you will need to complete.

You can also check out the Research Projects Directory to learn more about how the All of Us dataset is being used by registered researchers. There are currently more than 11,860 active projects in the directory.  

For more information, please see the All of Us Research Hub and the Researcher FAQs.

If you are looking for something to read on your summer vacation, give Duke's OverDrive Collection a try. Below are a few items from the collection, but for other fiction and non-fiction e-books and audiobooks, checkout Duke OverDrive. Descriptions are excerpted from the publisher as available on OverDrive.

Slow Productivity: The Lost Art of Accomplishment Without Burnout  
Cal Newport

From the aggressive rethinking of workload management, to introducing seasonal variation, to shifting performance toward long-term quality, Slow Productivity is exactly what we need. It provides a roadmap for escaping overload and arriving instead at a more timeless approach to pursuing meaningful accomplishment. The world of work is due for a new revolution. 

Deep Medicine: How Artificial Intelligence Can Make Healthcare Human Again  
Eric Topol

Leading physician Eric Topol reveals how artificial intelligence (AI) can potentially transform everything doctors do, from notetaking and medical scans to diagnosis and treatment, greatly reducing the cost of medicine and human mortality. By freeing physicians from tasks that interfere with human connection, AI will create space for real healing to take place between a doctor who can listen and a patient who needs to be heard.

Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine  
John Abramson

For 20 years, John Abramson cared for patients of all ages in a small town north of Boston. However, pressure to use the latest drugs and high-tech solutions for nearly every issue began to increasingly undermine his role as a family doctor. Drawing on his background in statistics and health policy research, he offers evidence that American medicine has broken its promise to improve our health and is annually misappropriating funds in the process.

The Song of the Cell: An Exploration of Medicine and the New Human   
Siddhartha Mukherjee

The Song of the Cell tells a vivid, lucid, and suspenseful story of how scientists discovered cells, began to understand them, and are now using that knowledge to create new humans. Told in six parts, and laced with Mukherjee's experience as a researcher, doctor, and prolific reader, this book is a panoramic and intimate masterpiece on what it means to be human.  

Owning the Sun: A People's History of Monopoly Medicine... 
Alexander Zaitchik

Zaitchik’s first-of-its-kind history documents the rise of privatized medicine in the US and its subsequent globalization. From the controversial arrival of patent-wielding German drug firms in the late nineteenth century to present-day coordination between industry and philanthropic organizations, this resulting story covers of one of the most contentious fights in human history: the legal right to produce lifesaving medicines. 

We offer a varriety of online classes on research and searching topics every month. All classes are free and offered virtually, though registration through our Website is required. In addition to these classes, you can also request an online session for yourself or a group or schedule an appointment for a research consultation.
