Are you getting the most from your library experience?
At the Tampa Bay Regional Campus, most people know that the library offers reserve textbooks and study rooms. They don't know that we offer programming like curated book displays and drop-in study breaks with snacks. This library guide will feature two monthly book displays: Take a Second and Topics in Healthcare. Books on the display pages will be divided by format (i.e. e-book, e-audiobook, or print book).

“We spend too much time trying to be “good” when good is often merely average. To be great we must be different. And that doesn’t come from trying to follow society’s vision of what is best, because society doesn’t always know what it needs. More often being the best means just being the best version of you.”
“If you persist over time, refusing to take offense, making your motive genuine, showing respect, and constantly searching for Mutual Purpose, then the other person will almost always join you in dialogue.”
“Because true belonging only happens when we present our authentic, imperfect selves to the world, our sense of belonging can never be greater than our level of self-acceptance.”
“What I want in my life is compassion, a flow between myself and others based on a mutual giving from the heart.”
“Never let a good crisis go to waste. It’s the universe challenging you to learn something new and rise to the next level of your potential.”
“These tick bites would rob us of our good health and send me on an investigation into an almost unimaginable possibility: that we were collateral damage in a biological weapons race that had started during the Cold War.”
“They acted in the dark, and in the process they took steps that were sometimes extreme, often wasted resources, and were frequently counterproductive. By the end of the eighteenth century, however, the path that they followed led to a first major victory in the war against epidemic disease.”
“One simple reason for malaria’s ferocity is that the protozoan creature that cause the disease is, by definition, a cheater at the game of life.”
“Yet something has been lost in the record as well, something more intimate and experiential than stories of pudding and malt liquor — namely, what it felt like to contact cholera in that teeming, fraught city, at a time when so little was understood about the disease.”

Requesting a Print Book (Tampa Bay)
Since this month's selections feature books that the library only possesses in physical copies on the Davie Campus, here's a quick how-to video on how to order print books as a distance user. If you're here in Tampa Bay or at another regional campus, this means you! Take a look.
Take a Second has always focused on broadening horizons and the practice of mindfulness by using narratives on marginalized communities and practical advice. This year, Take a Second will evolve once more and the focus will be YOU! This shift in focus will still include a diverse collection of voices, but the narratives will fall within five areas of life where every healthcare professional needs a strong foundation. The five areas are:
Interpersonal Relationships,
the World At Large,
Patient Care,
the Professional Sphere and
Economics.
Whether you’re still trying to figure out how to navigate a topic or you could use just some pointers from an expert, our yearlong series, ADULTING & PROFESSIONALISM, has got you covered!
Our current topic is Economics and the collection title is . This collection will focus on economics and its impact on healthcare! Click on the Current Display tab to learn more and see selected titles!
Topics in Healthcare has always focused on the connection between healthcare providers and the practice of healthcare with an emphasis on providing greater transparency in marginalized communities.

Origins of Medicine,
Military Medicine,
Social Justice & Ethics,
the War on Disease, and
Innovation & Technology.
In our series, the HISTORY OF MEDICINE, the selected texts use these categories to demonstrate how effectively healthcare has navigated different aspects of the mandate to Do No Harm using a range of examples from ancient civilizations to today!
