\n

Teri Hartman, professor and head of education, education and research services librarian, is retiring from a career of more than three decades as a health sciences librarian, with 26 of those years at the McGoogan Health Science Library.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hartman started at McGoogan Library in 1999 as an assistant professor and National Network of Libraries of Medicine MidContinental Region outreach librarian. She moved to a liaison librarian role and was promoted to the head of education in 2004. She earned full professorship in 2015.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reflecting on her career, Hartman said,\u202f\u201cMy career is a sum of my choices plus the opportunities offered.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the years, she championed information literacy and interprofessional education, helping the campus and Nebraska communities navigate an ever-changing information landscape. Hartman said McGoogan Library is \u201ca place of growth\u201d \u2013 someplace \u201cnot adapting to change but leading to change.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hartman describes her career at McGoogan Library as being \u201ca connector of information to the people that need it most at the time it is most needed.\u201d This meant serving as a liaison to the UNMC College of Medicine, the UNMC College of Public Health and the physician assistant program, as well as being active in pathways programs, participating in Summer Health Professions Education Program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She has served as director for the inquiry, research and evidence-based medicine coil since 2017 and coordinates integrating information literacy and research skills instruction into the college of medicine\u2019s three-phase curriculum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her contributions have been widely recognized, including with the Bernice M. Hetzner Award for Excellence in Academic Health Science Librarianship in 2007 and the MCMLA Outstanding Achievement Award in 2020. Through conferences, panels and countless presentations, Hartman shared her expertise on public health, leadership and emerging technologies such as GenAI — always with humor, her colleagues said, and always embodying her motto: \u201cHumans win.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UNMC community is invited to celebrate Hartman\u2019s retirement at a celebration reception on Thursday, Feb. 26, from 3:30-5 p.m. in the Wigton Heritage Center, Olson Auditorium. Remarks will begin at 4 p.m., and refreshments will be available.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
