University Library
Governors State University, University Park, IL
From the GSU Changing Face of Medicine: Celebrating America’s Women Physicians webpage:
The Governors State University (GSU) Library has been selected as one of sixty-one libraries across the nation to host the Changing the Face of Medicine: Celebrating America’s Women Physicians, a traveling exhibit sponsored by the National Library of Medicine and the American Library Association. The exhibit celebrates the contributions of America’s women physicians, and their struggle for education and recognition since the first woman to be granted a medical degree from an American medical school, Elizabeth Blackwell, graduated from Geneva College in 1848.
The traveling exhibit is based on a major exhibit at the National Library of Medicine during 2003-2004. The traveling exhibit consists of six folding display panels and two interactive computerized kiosks with Internet access. The University Library has acquired books and videos to support the exhibit programs. Brochures, interactive CD-ROM videos, and posters are available to promote and enhance exhibit programs.To go to the webpage, click here.
