Briscoe Library – San Antonio
Wednesday, April 10
6:00 pm
Howe Conference Room, Briscoe Library
Dr. Carlos Machado, physician and artist for The Netter Collection of Medical Illustrations, will speak to the History of Medicine Society of the Friends of the P.I. Nixon Medical Historical Library on April 10, 2013 at 6:00 p.m. in the evening. Dr. Machado will speak on the topic: Converging Paths: The Styles of Netter and Machado.
An exhibit, The Artistic Style of Carlos Machado, MD: Selected Illustrations from the Netter Art Collection, is currently on display on the third floor of the Briscoe Library. The exhibit is on loan from NetterImages.com, ©Elsevier.
Before his artistic talents took his career in a different direction, Dr. Machado practiced medicine as a cardiologist in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. His skill in medical illustration came to the attention of Ciba-Geigy, which at that time controlled the illustration work initiated by Dr. Frank H. Netter. Dr. Machado has contributed to the Netter Collection of Medical Illustrations for nineteen years, working first for Ciba-Geigy/Novartis, then Icon, and finally Elsevier. He has added over 1,000 new illustrations to the collection, and also updated many of the Netter images to reflect current medical practice and knowledge.
As part of his talk on April 10, Dr. Machado will discuss how his technique has evolved over time, and the factors that influenced his development as an artist. He will discuss his experience working in various media, and comment on similarities and differences between his and Dr. Netter’s professional training, styles, and particular techniques.
Dr. Machado received his medical degree at the Faculdade Medicina de Teresopolis, and his postgraduate degree in cardiology from Santa Casa de Misericordia in Rio de Janeiro. His illustrations can be seen in Clinical Symposia, The Netter Collection of Medical Illustrations, and the highly acclaimed Interactive Atlas of Clinical Anatomy.
The Netter Presenter database, which contains images from Netter: Atlas of Human Anatomy 5th Edition, can be accessed online through the database page on the library’s website.
Other Netter anatomical resources, including print resources, can be found by searching with the keyword “Netter” in the library’s online catalog.

Starting April 1st the Briscoe Library will offer public WiFi for campus visitors. The new WiFi connection will give any library visitor with their own device the ability to utilize all of the library’s online resources.
Connection is as simple as opening a laptop or other mobile device to look for the network named BriscoeWiFi. Visitors will be prompted to accept the terms of service, and will then have the ability to search all of the library’s materials from their device. Library staff have been trained on how to connect to the new WiFi, and can provide help to anyone who has problems connecting.
The new WiFi will be limited to the Briscoe Library, so faculty, staff, and students should continue to use HSCWave.
If you have any questions please contact Eric Willman, Systems Librarian, at 210-567-2433 or willman@uthscsa.edu.
On Thursday, March 7, the Ramirez Library at the RAHC hosted Communities and Their Assets: Community Asset Mapping for CTSA Community Engagement. The workshop was open by invitation to CTSA librarians along with CTSA researchers, Key Function Group members, and administrators from regional and national CTSA institutions. Other participating community groups included health care providers, primary care physicians, community organization leaders, program administrators, public health workers, community health workers (promotores), public and academic librarians, Area Health Education Center (AHEC) board members, and university faculty.
The workshop provided an opportunity to open a dialog with community groups and to reflect on the contributions of librarians to the CTSA process.

Jacqueline Rosenkranz and her mother Laura Rosenkranz, M.D., Clinical Assistant Professor of Medicine, visited the Special Collections Reading Room of the P.I. Nixon Medical Historical Library two times in early March.
On their first visit, Dr. Rosenkranz and Jacqueline looked through the library’s Catalog of Rare Book Treasures to learn about the collection, and to prepare a list of books they wanted to view. Their list of nine books included Leonardo da Vinci on Movement of the Heart and Blood by Kenneth D. Keele (1952); Illustrations of the Great Operations of Surgery by Sir Charles Bell (1821); and a 1582 Latin edition of Avicenna’s Canon of Medicine.
Laura Rosenkranz, M.D. and her daughter Jacqueline visited the P.I. Nixon Medical Historical Library in early March.
When Jacqueline and Dr. Rosenkranz returned to the library a few days later Mellisa De Thorne, Special Collections Library Assistant, had organized the books so that they could spend the morning examining them.
One of the main differences between the P.I. Nixon Medical Historical Library and the Briscoe Library general collection is that visitors to the Nixon library need to request that specific books be arranged for viewing by the library staff. The books must be used in the Special Collections Reading Room, and returned at the end of the visit.
Other visitors to the Nixon library in March included:
The P.I. Nixon Medical Historical Library contains more than 5000 rare and historical medical texts dating from the 15th to the early 20th century. Among its treasures are important works by Vesalius (De Humani Corporis Fabrica– 1543), Albinus (Tables of the Skeleton and Muscles of the Human Body — 1749), Burton (The Anatomy of Melancholy — 1632), and Hooke (Micrographia — 1667). The oldest book in the collection– the one requested by the visitors from Kipp Academy– is the 1481 edition of De Medicina, written in 30 A.D. by Aulus Cornelius Celsus. The De Medicina (1481) that is owned by the library was one of the first books to be produced after the invention of the printing press.
The core of the collection of the P.I. Nixon Medical Historical Library was donated to the Health Science Center in the early 1970s by the Bexar County Medical Society.
The library is open to the public, and the staff of the library welcomes visitors. To schedule an appointment, email SpecialCollections@uthscsa.edu.
