Dear MHIKNET Patrons, Next week will be my last week here at the University of Manitoba; my last day with MHIKNET will be February 13th, 2015. I am making the big move out West to beautiful Vancouver, British Columbia! I just wanted to let you all know that I have enjoyed providing you with library services over the past 3 years and although I never saw many faces in person it has been a pleasure getting to work with you on your various projects. You all do such amazing, important work and thank you for letting me assist in that! I also want to thank the Head of Outreach Services, Orvie Dingwall and the Manitoba Health Librarian, Carol Friesen for giving me this wonderful career opportunity. Orvie and Carol have been such great mentors in my Library career and in my personal goals. You are lucky to have two of the best Librarians in this province assist you in all of your evidence-based research needs! We have been very fortunate to have Cheryl Haas join our MHIKNET team as the new Library Assistant 3. Please join me in welcoming her! You can reach Cheryl at mhiknet(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:mhiknet@umanitoba.ca> All the best in your future endeavors and if I can be of any more help next week please let me know! Kind regards, Connie Connie Flook MHIKNET Library Assistant 3 Neil John Maclean Health Sciences Library, University of Manitoba email: mhiknet(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:mhiknet@umanitoba.ca> phone: 204.789.3804 | toll free: 1.877.789.3804 fax: 204.789.3923 website: http://mhiknet.lib.umanitoba.ca/ follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/mhiknet [mhiknet logo 1]

Happy New Year! Being that it's cold and flu season and that we're in the middle of a cold snap, check out our newest blog entry on whether the common cold is happiest in a cold nose: bit.ly/1A95c3B<http://bit.ly/1A95c3B> Will it make you pull your scarf up tightly around your nose? Or is the research too specific to generalize on a large scale?
