Too New Or Two New? Early Career Librarians Leading Open Efforts At Touro College, Georgia Westbrook, Timothy Valente

Touro University Libraries Publications and Research

At Touro College, there is a growing focus on open educational resources and open scholarship. We, the presenters, were recently hired to continue work started by our predecessors on Open Touro, Touro College’s OER initiative, and TouroScholar, Touro’s open access institutional repository. For both of us, these are our first professional positions after library school, and as we take up these projects, we have begun to think more about the things we wished we had known before we started and what we have learned about open access in our first weeks on the job.

Our poster engages with this year’s …

Helping Struggling Students Develop Skills For Academic Success: An Academic Library And Student Services Collaboration, Amy Castro, Julie B. Horwath

Faculty Research & Publications of the TUC Library

In the fall of 2018, two Touro University California (TUC) librarians began a collaboration with Academic Support Services to teach a library session in their 1-unit Pathways course offered each semester. This course is designed to help students develop skills for academic success, including time and stress management, professional communication, and study strategies. All students are welcome to enroll, but most Pathways students are identified by their program as needing additional support and referred to the course. Based on this, Academic Support determined a library session would help students improve their study and research skills, and the librarians agreed.

Touro University Libraries Publications and Research

This case study describes the library’s experience of collaborating with an undergraduate Psychology Department at Touro College to integrate open textbooks into their program.

Furthermore, we highlight the successes and shortcomings in having the library as a central OER partner. To measure the results, we surveyed students and conducted a faculty survey and a focus group, in addition to analyzing the students’ final grades. This pilot program delivered strong results. The students’ perception was …

Jay Sexter Library Publications and Research

This study provides a systematic comparison of services and staffing within academic health sciences libraries serving College of Osteopathic Medicine programs in the U.S. Library directors, not only those affiliated with new medical schools, but also with long- standing, and more traditional schools, can use this data to make a case for new resources, services, or staffing. In addition, medical school administrators may find opportunities in this study’s results for more productive collaborations with the library, in areas such as curriculum-integrated instruction, research development, and scholarly publishing.

A Visual Interactive Analytic Tool For Filtering And Summarizing Large Health Data Sets Coded With Hierarchical Terminologies (Viads)., Xia Jing, Matthew Emerson, David Masters, Matthew Brooks, Jacob Buskirk, Nasseef Abukamail, Chang Liu, James J. Cimino, Jay H. Shubrook, Sonsoles De Lacalle, Yuchun Zhou, Vimla L. Patel

Faculty Publications & Research of the TUC College of Osteopathic Medicine

BACKGROUND: Vast volumes of data, coded through hierarchical terminologies (e.g., International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision-Clinical Modification [ICD10-CM], Medical Subject Headings [MeSH]), are generated routinely in electronic health record systems and medical literature databases. Although graphic representations can help to augment human understanding of such data sets, a graph with hundreds or thousands of nodes challenges human comprehension. To improve comprehension, new tools are needed to extract the overviews of such data sets. We aim to develop a visual interactive analytic tool for filtering and summarizing large health data sets coded with hierarchical terminologies (VIADS) as an online, and publicly …

Building New Twenty-First Century Medical School Libraries From The Ground Up: Challenges, Experiences, And Lessons Learned., Nadine Dexter, Joanne M. Muellenbach, Elizabeth R Lorbeer, Debra Rand, Matthew E Wilcox, Bradley A Long

Jay Sexter Library Publications and Research

The twenty-first century library at a newly opened medical school often differs from those at traditional medical schools. One obvious difference is that the new medical school library tends to be a born-digital library, meaning that the library collection is almost exclusively digital. However, the unique issues related to building a library at a new medical school are not limited to online collections. A unique start-up culture is prevalent, of which newly appointed directors and other library and medical school leaders need to be aware. This special paper provides an overview of best practices experienced in building new medical school …

Three Professions Come Together For An Interdisciplinary Approach To 3d Printing: Occupational Therapy, Biomedical Engineering, And Medical Librarianship, Joan B. Wagner, Laurel Scheinfeld, Blanche Leeman, Keith Pardini, Jamie Saragossi, Katie Flood

Touro University Libraries Publications and Research

Background: Although many libraries have offered 3D printing as a service or available technology, there is a lack of information on course-integrated programs for 3D printing in which the library played a primary role. Therefore, librarians at the Touro College School of Health Sciences began exploring 3D printing for inclusion in the occupational and physical therapy curriculum.

Case Presentation: The goal of this project was to educate occupational and physical therapy students and faculty about the potential applications of 3D printing in health care and provide hands-on experience, while increasing collaboration between librarians and faculty. Students’ tasks included designing and …
