Due to flat or reduced state appropriations in past years, an impending reduction in state funds for the next
biennium, and annual inflation rates of 8-10% for journal and database subscriptions, UT Health Science
Center librarians are preparing a worst case scenario list of possible reductions to the librarys collection of
journals and databases. Librarians used criteria for possible cancellation such as cost/use over $25, annual
subscription cost greater than $1,000, and less than 100 uses in the last calendar year. The list of possible
subscription cancellations includes 172 titles and 10 database or electronic book collections.
In addition to the librarys local collection, The Libraries currently participate in the UT System Digital Library
which coordinates consortium licenses for a number of journal packages by publisher, including Elsevier,
Wiley, Springer and a number of other publishers. These consortium licenses have been of tremendous benefitto all UT System institutions by expanding the number of journals and databases accessible at UT campuses.
However, the downside to consortium licenses is that participating libraries are not allowed to cancel their
subscribed titles or are only able to cancel a small percentage of titles. In order for the Health Science Center
Libraries to operate within available funds, we must plan for the possibility of dropping out of several UT
System Digital Library consortium licenses. The list of possible titles that will be discontinued due to loss of
consortium access numbers over 3,900 and includes subscribed titles from UT Austin, UT Southwestern,
UTMB and other UT libraries. In the event that a journal title must be canceled, interlibrary loan services will
be available to provide needed articles.
The Library Committee with representatives from each school has been consulted as librarians have developed
plans to operate within available funds. We ask that you carefully review each list of possible cancellations onthe librarys website, at http://www.library.uthscsa.edu/about/subscribed.cfm , and that you notify the library
if any of the journals on the lists are important to your teaching, research, or clinical duties. Please send
comments to John Weed, Head of Collection Resources,[email protected].

Hurricane Beulah is still recognized as one of the most significant storms to make landfall in Texas. On
September 21, 1967 the storm moved into the mouth of the Rio Grande and inundated South Texas with heavy
rainfall. The memories of the hurricane and its aftermath were still fresh in the minds of many who attended
the May 6th opening of a photography exhibit which chronicles the response of health professionals and local
volunteers to refugees displaced by flooding in Starr County.
Hurricane Beulah caused extensive flooding on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border. To escape the rising
floodwaters, over 14,000 refugees from Camargo, Tamaulipas crossed the border into the small town of Roma,
Texas. The refugees were in desperate need of food, shelter, and medical care. It was in Roma that Dr. MarioE. Ramirez, the only physician in town and Starr Countys Public Health Service Director, rose to action in the
face of a crisis. For several weeks, Dr. Ramirez along with volunteers from the local community, UT Medical
Branch in Galveston, Santa Rosa Hospital in San Antonio as well as the U.S. Army worked to help the
hurricane victims.
In 2007 the Library at the UT Health Science Center Regional Academic Health Center in Harlingen was
named for Dr. Mario E. Ramirez. The Ramirez Library subsequently received materials from Dr. Ramirez
personal archive and library, a rich collection of photographs, letters, and documents. Many of the materials
donated by Dr. Ramirez are related to Hurricane Beulah, including 139 photographs and 185 pages of letters,
newspaper clippings, and personal journal entries. The photographs were taken by George Tuley, a Rio
Grande City teacher, who would later go on to a 39-year career as a photojournalist at the Corpus ChristiCaller-Times.
The photographs portray the use of makeshift medical equipment in the absence of IV poles, incubators, and
oxygen tents. The photographs also document the transformation of a high school into a packaged disaster
hospital where blackboards were used to record patient information including diagnoses and treatments.
In 2009 the Ramirez Library received a Library Technology Award from the National Network of Libraries of
Medicine (NN/LM) to support the digitization, cataloging, and uploading of the Hurricane Beulah
photographs to the UT Health Science Center Libraries Digital Archive as well as the creation of a traveling
exhibit. The full collection of Hurricane Beulah photographs from the Ramirez Collection can be viewed
online at http://bit.ly/beulahphotos . The photography exhibit will remain on display at the Ramirez Library,and a traveling version of the exhibit will be made available to local schools, libraries and museums. For more
information, please contact Graciela Reyna, Assistant Director, Mario E. Ramirez, M.D. Library at (956) 365-
8850 or [email protected].
