For the past year, Strauss Library has been performing an overlap analysis comparing the library’s bound journal holdings within the library building, to bound journal holdings stored in PASCAL, our long-term storage facility. This analysis has allowed Strauss Library to identify duplicate print journal holdings which can now be withdrawn from the collection.

In 2015, Dr. Robert Shikes, Professor Emeritus in the Pathology Department at the University of Colorado School of Medicine, and his wife Patricia generously donated an extensive collection of medical artifacts to the Strauss Health Sciences Library. This remarkable collection, amassed over many years, includes over 1,000 items and offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of medicine.
