Library Journals En Route to Tanzania

moving day in April. |
Nearly 10,000 volumes, representing more than 500 important peer reviewed medical journals, many of which have been housed in the Augustus C. Long Health Sciences Library for decades (and some even dating back to the 1700s), have been donated to the Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. The journals were boxed in a day, put aboard a shipping container and will make a seven-week ocean voyage to Africa. The donation frees up space on lower levels 1 and 2 that will be converted into classrooms and study space as part of an ongoing project to build a new education center in the library. The journals are now available electronically to CUMC students and staff.
