Customizing for clients: developing a library liaison program from need to plan*

Building on the experiences of librarian representatives to curriculum committees in the colleges of dentistry, medicine, and nursing, the Health Science Center Libraries (HSCL) Strategic Plan recommended the formation of a Library Liaison Work Group to create a formal Library Liaison Program to serve the six Health Science Center (HSC) colleges and several affiliated centers and institutes. The work group's charge was to define the purpose and scope of the program, identify models of best practice, and recommend activities for liaisons. The work group gathered background information, performed an environmental scan, and developed a philosophy statement, a program of liaison activities focusing on seven |primary areas, and a forum for liaison communication. Hallmarks of the plan included intensive subject specialization (beyond collection development), extensive communication with users, and personal information services. Specialization was expected to promote competence, communication, confidence, comfort, and customization. Development of the program required close coordination with other strategic plan implementation teams, including teams for collection development, education, and marketing. This paper discusses the HSCL's planning process and the resulting Library Liaison Program. Although focusing on an academic health center, the planning process and liaison model may be applied to any library serving diverse, subject-specific user populations.

Aplicación de conceptos gráficos del equilibrio entre fases al diseño de operaciones de separación de mezclas ternarias. Parte I

En este trabajo se presenta el primero de una serie de dos artículos en la que se ofrece una revisión de la aplicación de ciertos conceptos gráficos del equilibrio líquido-vapor y líquido-líquido-vapor al diseño y síntesis de procesos de separación de mezclas ternarias. Se destacan las características más relevantes de los mapas de curvas de residuo y de los mapas de líneas de destilación, que están cobrando un interés creciente debido a su utilidad en el estudio de procesos de destilación azeotrópica.

Aplicación de conceptos gráficos del equilibrio entre fases al diseño de operaciones de separación de mezclas ternarias. Parte II

En este trabajo se completa la serie de dos artículos en la que se ofrece una revisión de la aplicación de los mapas de curvas de residuo y mapas de líneas de destilación para determinar las regiones de posibles productos en la separación de mezclas ternarias no ideales (azeotrópicas). Con este objetivo, se discuten los criterios para establecer los límites de dichas regiones, a reflujo total y a razón de reflujo finita, y se presentan ejemplos que muestran la aplicación de estos conceptos en la síntesis de secuencias de columnas de destilación para separar mezclas azeotrópicas.
