Past Funded Projects

The purpose of this project will be to create and establish a symposium to develop high level critical appraisal skills in librarians who work with health care information. Many health sciences librarians provide evidence based medicine EBM training at their home institutions. For most their involvement in this training is limited to training: asking questions PICO; searching resources; and only a rudimentary coverage of critical appraisal of clinical information.

The University of Alabama at Birminghams Lister Hill Library of the Health Sciences has long been recognized as a leading health sciences library in the state of Alabama. In 2017, the library added two LulzBot Taz 6 3D printers as part of a university-funded project intended to investigate the feasibly of creating anatomical and molecular models for use in the librarys circulating collection.

The goals and objectives of the project are as follows: Speak to faculty about which topics/subjects to cover in our online interactive learning modules to improve students' research skills Test and become familiar with SoftChalk as our software for creating the modules Create three online interactive modules based on faculty feedback with collaboration and advise of TLT staff Attend training on instructional design and online education Such as SIDLIT Summer Institute on Distance Learning and Instructional Technology 2018 : August 2 3 in Overland Park, KS Learn skills that will he

The goal of the project is to improve the value of research produced by students, faculty, and staff at WSU Spokane.

Data discovery is becoming an increasing trend with the availability of public data sets as a part of the open access movement. Data sharing is developing norms and establishing standards to increase research reproducibility. Data management skills are required to execute the data life cycle steps, including creating, accessing, sharing, and re-using data. As health care begins to harness big data and other data sets for discovery purposes, scientists need to understand data management and incorporate best practices into their research.

Early identification of LD symptoms is paramount to effective medical treatment; knowledge of symptoms, how LD spreads, and getting immediate medical treatment is the best prevention. IOP's goal is to promote awareness of health concerns associated with LD and tick-borne diseases in northeast Minnesota's isolated Arrowhead region. This will be accomplished through educational activities, a citizen-science program, and an undergraduate research experience.

The proposed pilot project seeks to promote awareness and demonstrate the use of National Library of Medicine 101 health information resources and MedlinePlus. At Charles Drew University CDU, 101 is one of five major areas of research, and this project will provide an avenue to disseminate reliable health information to many people who are impacted by 101 in South Los Angeles. The Library Director will partner with two CDU 101 faculty members who have a long history working in the local community.

Clinicians directly searching PubMed can apply the Core Clinical Journal CCJ filter to restrict retrieval. The existing CCJ list hasnt been updated since 1979, thus reducing access to the most clinically relevant biomedical and health information. Although PubMed comprises over 28 million citations, the filter to find those for patient care is currently suboptimal. This project would convene the Medical Library Association committee that was formed at the request of NLM to update the CCJ subset.
