Dr. Sheldon Peck: HSL “a world-class, full-service scholarly health sciences library”

Dr.  Peck spoke at HSL on the “The Modern Value of Early Writing in Medicine and Dentistry” on November 13, 2012. The presentation was co-sponsored by the UNC Health Sciences Library and the Bullitt History of Medicine Club.

…the HSL is an example of just how spoiled we are

As an undergrad student, I never ventured to this side of campus. However, as a current dental student, I have found the HSL to be my primary location for studying! I love the fact that many of the group study rooms are equipped with large screens and boards. I also love the comfortable couches in the open area- many good dreams have come from them! Overall, I am grateful for the HSL; the great staff, the resourceful rooms and the studying space! I think  that we as students are spoiled at UNC, and the HSL is an example of just how spoiled we are.
