Hill, Dorothy R. - passed away on September 4 after a long illness.
Noted medical librarian and co-author of the Brandon/Hill Selected Lists
of Books and Journals for the Small Medical Library; Nursing; and Allied
Health, her work influenced the development of medical library
collections worldwide. Daughter of the late Arthur T. and Ruth Hill,
Dorothy received numerous awards for her work with medical libraries and
had a long career building medical library collections at the University
of Kentucky, Johns Hopkins, and Mount Sinai School of Medicine where she
spent the last 33 years of her career. A gathering in her honor will be
held on Friday, September 12 at 11:00 am at Frank E. Campbell, 1076
Madison Avenue at 81st Street. Interment will be Saturday, September 13
in Springfield, MA.
Born, like other comic book characters, out of an otherwise trivial but life-changing animal bite, the Rabid Librarian seeks out strange, useless facts, raves about real and perceived injustices, and seeks to meet her greatest challenge of all--her own life.
