Taking History And Vital Signs: Characterizing History Of Medicine Efforts At Academic Medical Centers, Jordan Johnson, Kristine M. Alpi, Meg Langford

Pacific Northwest Chapter of MLA Annual Meeting

Pubmed By The Pics: Teaching How To Search The Easy Way, Margaret Vugrin

Pacific Northwest Chapter of MLA Annual Meeting

This session presents an innovative method for teaching PubMed searching skills using visual graphics in order to develop a strong searching skill base.

This teaching strategy has been used successfully in one-on-one situations as well as in group presentations. Simultaneous search strategy instruction and sketching demonstrates searching concepts which …

The Goldilocks Method: Demonstrating Your Value In Small, Medium, And Large Bites, Heather J. Martin

Books, Presentations, Posters, Etc.

Background: In an era of financial constraint hospital libraries are facing closer scrutiny and must prove their value in order to survive. Leadership at a large health system library found the traditional written annual report lacked the impact needed to capture the attention and the imagination of administration.
