Simulations, Outreach And Health Sciences Libraries: A Triple Play For Success, Linda J. Walton, Amy Blevins, Chris Childs, Sarah Andrews, Jennifer Deberg

Jennifer DeBerg

Purpose: Our library staff has been partnering with faculty to develop curricula using simulation equipment for various outreach programs to youth in the state. The simulation center is housed and managed by our library. This presentation will recount the development and expansion of this two-year old program and describe its various components. The programs are aimed at grades 5-12 to stimulate interest in science and health care professions through engagement and participation in a variety of interactive educational sessions using simulation equipment, such as eye exams, neurological/cognitive assessments, and cardiac rhythm evaluation. Methods: The focus of the paper will be …

Building A Best Practices Team: Creating Stronger Online Tutorials Together, Jennifer Deberg, Amy Blevins, Chris Childs

Chris A. Childs

Purpose: The purpose of this poster is to demonstrate the value of having a best practices working group to explore software programs and develop policies and procedures for the creation of online instructional materials. In addition, we would like to emphasize the importance of partnering with the other libraries within a University or other organization to share ideas and avoid duplication of effort. Methods: In order to determine the best software for creating tutorials, the University libraries put together a taskforce to investigate Jing, Panopto, Camtasia and Captivate. After deciding which products to purchase and support, a new team formed …

Partnering For Patient Empowerment Through Community Awareness, Chris Childs, Linda Walton, Mary Kay Brooks, Mindy Egeland, Tanya Uden-Holman, Lorri Zipperer

Chris A. Childs

This poster will examine the importance of networking public libraries with community hospitals for quality consumer health programming. The University of Iowa partnered with five communities in Iowa to provide a training program on patient safety for consumers. The project, Empowering Public Health / Patient Safety Outreach through Community was funded through a subcontract with the National Network of Libraries of Medicine Greater Midwest Region. Presenters will describe the planning process, collaborative partnerships, and challenges encountered.

Unearthing The Infrastructure: Humans And Sensors In Field-Based Scientific Research, Matthew S. Mayernik, Jillian C. Wallis, Christine L. Borgman

Christine L. Borgman

Distributed sensing systems for studying scientific phenomena are critical applications of information technologies. By embedding computational intelligence in the environment of study, sensing systems allow researchers to study phenomena at spatial and temporal scales that were previously impossible to achieve. We present an ethnographic study of field research practices among researchers in the Center for Embedded Networked Sensing (CENS), a National Science Foundation Science & Technology Center devoted to developing wireless sensing systems for scientific and social applications. Using the concepts of boundary objects and trading zones, we trace the processes of collaborative research around sensor technology development and adoption …
