Dahlgren Memorial Library Launches New READ Posters
November 17, 2009
October marked National Medical Librarians Month, and Dahlgren Memorial Library observed the occasion by releasing a new series of READ posters featuring Georgetown Medical Center faculty and students. The poster campaign is themed “Cura Personalis,” after the Jesuit ideal of caring for the whole person. The idea behind the campaign is to promote the library's humanities collection that features literature, poetry, philosophy, biography and history. Dedicated in honor of Dr. John M. Eisenberg, a prominent medical center physician, the humanities collection is intended to help current and future physicians and scientists grow professionally and personally through a development of intellectual interests.
