Welcome to New Librarian

Please join me in welcoming our new ACAOM Librarian, Karen Kuti. Karen is a graduate of the University of Texas at Austin. She has extensive experience in both academic and public libraries. She has an interest in the Eastern understanding of health and well-being. She looks forward to gaining more knowledge of these concepts through working with the students and professors at ACAOM.

I have enjoyed my time at ACAOM. If you are interested in looking me up, I am working at Lone Star North Harris College as an adjunct librarian. My email address is loispkraft@sbcglobal.net.

All ACAOM students are requested to complete the annual survey. An email with a link to the online survey has been sent to all students' ACAOM email accounts. If you have problems accessing the survey, please check with Lois Kraft. Thank you.

NPR Story on Acupuncture

Check out an NPR story on benefits of acupuncture - http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=104200910

"Acupuncture certainly isn't a cure-all. But there is gathering evidence to suggest that it can be beneficial. The latest study, sponsored by the National Institutes of Health, finds that a seven-week course of acupuncture helped many patients ease the pain of chronic lower back pain. The study is published in the Archives of Internal Medicine."
