The Health Sciences and Human Services Library is helping in the effort to produce personal protective equipment.
Here is an update on the Health Sciences and Human Services Library’s progress so far:
- Twenty face-shield headband sets have been delivered to the local MD Makers Unite effort (based at Open Works in Baltimore). There they will be sanitized and assembled with clear plastic sheets into face shields. Printing continues.
- A living guide has been set up with information for health care workers and for those who would like to join the effort to produce more personal protective equipment (PPE). Go to https://guides.hshsl.umaryland.edu/ppe
- We also are helping the University of Maryland Medical Center’s Infectious Disease Department procure some of the crowdsourced PPE.
