Dragonfly, Fall 1998 Announcing... Dragonfly The Newsletter of the National Network of Libraries of Medicine, Pacific Northwest Region

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Regional Medical Library at the University of Washington, we are renaming our newsletter: Dragonfly.

The dragonfly is the messenger--just like librarians who carry the message of information.

Chholing Taha, the newest librarian on the RML staff, painted our beautiful dragonfly logo for the Tribal Connections Project. She describes the dragonfly logo:

The Native use of the beautiful dragonfly can be found in a variety of Tribal art forms across the country. The ovoid design was selected to honor the coastal people. Look to the east, there live the people of the corn who cultivated the land and where the sun rises each morning. To the west live the people of the sea who sustained themselves with gifts of the ocean and where the sun rests each evening. The circle holding these traditions symbolizes the oneness of all peoples and the dragonfly carries the message of peace and inspiration from the spirit realms.

So, no longer will we hear the question, "Supplement? Supplement to what?" Serials librarians, change that title!
