Proceedings from the Document Academy

This physical interactive art piece of thesis research in progress aims to deepen comprehension of information behavior in clinical contexts, where the contemporary medical record, with its increasing digital properties such as open record access for patients, can be viewed as an entity that both listens and influences.

The medicines used for the Toxic Medicines and Toxic Books exhibit were selected based on their historical use to treat various ailments and diseases; however, these treatments are now known today to be quite harmful to human health.

Simplify Workflows: Ai As A Coding Companion, Tiffany Garrett

Library Scholarship

Artificial Intelligence is on everyone’s minds and has been the topic of the past two Matheson Lectures. But, what is the role of academic health sciences libraries? Moving the theoretical into practical, seven of our colleagues will present real-life case studies. What worked - what didn’t - what would they do differently?

This entry is from one of those case presentations on how a librarian at Roseman University of Health Sciences used AI to complete simple computer programming projects that optimized a few library workflows.

Challenges Of Conceptualizing, Creating, And Researching The History Of South Louisiana Hospitals, Chandler D. Smith, Jennifer K. Lloyd

Methods: A reference question about a historical hospital in the area prompted the idea, as when doing research for information about the hospital, it was more challenging than initially thought it would be to find photos and other information.
