As Ministry and Affinity Libraries develop a model to serve all of our staff members efficiently and effectively, Library Services will be “Going Virtual”. To discover the Affinity Virtual Library and all the online resources we have to offer, please visit the Affinity
Library Intranet Website by following the Library link from the Affinity Intranet.
We realize that you may have some questions about access to Library Service after the St. Elizabeth Hospital Libraries close. We will address some of these below :
1)
Who do I contact if I need the following :
A book
An article
A literature search
Help with research
To learn how to use the library online tools (or other sources)
While the St. Elizabeth Hospital Libraries are closing, Ministry and Affinity staff will continue to receive personalized Library Service from qualified and dedicated librarians.

2)
Where will I be able to get a BLS or NRP textbook?
To get a copy of the book
BLS for Healthcare Providers (BLS),
contact Jeff Baldwin at 920-831-8388 or email via Outlook
Or stop in at The Learning Center office at St E's on 4 north to pick up a BLS Book for class.
To get a copy of the
Neonatal Resuscitation Textbook (NRP), contact Laura Olson, Administrative Assistant for STE Birth Place at 920-730-4901 or email via Outlook.
NOTE: While the St. Elizabeth Hospital Libraries are closing, the Clark Family Library at Mercy Medical Center will remain open. If you normally use the Library at MMC and need to check out these books, they will be available at that Library. People who would usually borrow these books from the STE Libraries will need to contact Jeff or Laura.
3)
Where will I be able to print in color? Or scan a document? Or send a fax?
Requests for color print jobs can be sent to the Affinity Print Shop. As for color multi-function devices on the St. Elizabeth Hospital campus, contact STE Administration.
4)
Where will I be able to use a computer after the STE Library closes?
STE Resource Cafe : The 2 public computers (in the study carrels) in the Resource Cafe only have public internet access. You won't be able to get to the intranet on those 2 computers. You should be able to use the staff computer in the the Resource Cafe (behind the desk), if you need the Intranet.
STE IS Training Rooms in the basement may be quieter options for study space and computers. You'll probably need to ask Security to let you in as these rooms are typically locked when not scheduled for classes. Just be sure you have your employee badge so Security knows you are staff.
There are also computers on the units. Although we realize the environment on the units can be hectic and not conducive for study.
We are looking at options for a quiet study area with a few computers for staff to use. More details to come.
We know that you may have additional questions. Library staff will be happy to talk with you about these changes and will share additional information about the new Library Service model as soon as possible.
