Margaret (Peggy) Richwine, MS, MLS, AHIP, will retire September 30, 2008 as Outreach Services Director at Indiana University School of Medicine (IUSM) Libraries. Ms. Richwine has over twenty years at IUSM Libraries serving in Reference, Cataloging, Interlibrary Loan, and Outreach Services. With grants from the National Library of Medicine (NLM), she created Shared Hospital Electronic Library of Southern Indiana (SHELSI) http://library.medicine.iu.edu/body.cfm?id=77, the consortium of hospital libraries in Southern Indiana that share access to electronic resources.

She was also awarded a series of contracts to manage a team of Indiana librarians that assisted the National Library of Medicine in the development and maintenance of MedlinePlus. As a capstone to a long and productive career, Ms. Richwine led the Indiana team to establish InHealthConnect http://apps.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/local/indiana/homepage.cfm?areaid=13, one of the pioneer Go Local projects to use the NLM system.

We are very proud of Peggy and her accomplishments and wish her the very best.

Carole Gall, MLS, AHIP
Gift Officer & Medical Resources Consultant
