Neil Hinsch & Kate Dunn Library, University of New South Wales OBJECTIVE To describe innovative service delivery methods implemented in the University of NSW Library. BACKGROUND As one of Australia’s largest academic libraries, the University of NSW Library serves a community of 2300* academics, and 37,000* students supporting both their learning & teaching and research needs. In 2006, the Library restructured in an effort to build a stronger communication model with the faculties and a new method of delivering services to this community. The goal is to build a strong partnership between the Library and the academy, where the value of the Library and its offerings is understood and appreciated as being integral to achieving the University’s learning & teaching and research priorities. *These figures are taken from the 2006 annual report METHOD Taking inspiration from a variety of service professions, the University Library has separated the distinct functions of service development, service delivery and communication. Specialist staff are assigned to innovation and new service development projects. Subject librarians are given ownership of relevant areas of the collection and the resultant services. Communication and delivery of these services is managed by a team of individual client contacts. IMMEDIATE IMPACT The response to this model amongst the academic community has been mixed, but primarily positive. The academy was used to seeing the Library primarily as a service centre for the undergraduate community and therefore the reassignment of professional services to support research represents a considerable change. Benefits demonstrated so far are an increased penetration into the academic community and therefore a greater awareness of our user requirements, and a consolidated approach to collection management. NEXT STEPS Future challenges involve: Consolidating the way in which the Library offers value to our community Implementing appropriate measures to record the impact of the model Maturing the service towards a more targeted solutions delivery method ]]>

Kaye Lasserre, William Chun and Lisa Kruesi University of Queensland The University of Queensland Library and the School of Medicine conducted the first major Australian trial of Personal Digital Assistants’ (PDAs) use by medical students at the Rural Clinical Schoolduring 2003 and 2004. The trial became an ongoing PDA Service from 2005, and its role in enhancing medical education has been demonstrated by continued funding and senior management support. The PDA Service has helped to provide key health information resources for students on rural placements. Adoption of the Service has addressed some of the equity issues caused by inadequate Information Communication and Technology (ICT) infrastructure beyond urban centres. Rural students’ use of information at the point of care facilitates learning and establishes good practice for future clinical decision making. This presentation will discuss the Rural Clinical School Librarians’ story about the implementation of the PDA Service, the lessons learnt and why it was a component of "An Integrated Package of Innovative Rural Medical Education:Enhancing Student Outcomes and Increasing the Rural Medical Workforce", 2006 Carrick Award Winner for Australian University Teaching. ]]>

Mary Simons & Karen Marks Macquarie University Library OBJECTIVE To identify which library services will meet the evolving information needs of the Australian School of Advanced Medicine during 2007 & 2008. Specifically: How can we develop services for clinical postgraduate students and academic/surgical staff? How can we develop services for research postgraduate students and academic staff? In what ways can we support the educational goals of the Australian School of Advanced Medicine? Background to this study The Australian School of Advanced Medicine (ASAM) at Macquarie University is a unique venture that will offer advanced subspecialty training for doctors. The School and the adjoining Macquarie University Private Hospital will open on campus in 2009, being the first of its kind in Australia. ASAM is modelled on the American Mayo Clinic principle of excellence in health care and life long learning, providing team interaction in education, research and clinical care. An advanced neurosurgery course will begin in 2007 and other subspecialties will be available from 2009. Students will also enrol in the Master of Higher Education (Medical Education) program at Macquarie University. The School’s Neuroscience Research Group and clinical programs will complement Macquarie University’s existing specialties in cognitive science, speech therapy and audiology. METHODOLOGY The following methodologies are being utilized to identify useful Library services: Evaluation of Library Impact Statements (prepared by academics when proposing new courses) to determine key resources and services. Assessment of feedback from the Research Group’s Library orientation session. Analysis of focus group interviews with staff and students. Analysis of individual interviews with staff and students. Environmental scan and benchmarking. Collaboration and networking with other universities and hospitals Setting This study is being carried out whilst the School and Hospital construction is underway. ASAM services are currently fragmented across the University campus and Dalcross Private Hospital. Library services need to be accessible from these settings. Population Clinical, educational and research staff and students of ASAM. RESULTS The information needs of the clinical, educational and research streams differ in ways that require varying levels and types of Library support. Library Impact Statements revealed that the Library holds several key online resources, however, there is a need for additional materials. Feedback from the orientation session and interviews revealed a lack of awareness of the Library’s print and online resources and its Document Supply service. Library tutorials and electronic guides for medicine have been recommended as a means of promoting self-sufficiency and life long learning. CONCLUSION The study so far has revealed key journal titles already held as well as gaps in both online and print resources that need to be addressed through an increase in Library funding. The focus groups, interviews and orientation feedback have been essential for identifying relevant services and resources: plans for an e-Guide for Medicine, further orientation sessions and regular meetings with ASAM senior staff are underway as a result of staff feedback. A regular online newsletter has been developed and further communication initiatives with ASAM are planned to identify key resources and services for this unique user group. ]]>

Neil Hinsch & Kate Dunn Library, University of New South Wales OBJECTIVE To describe innovative service delivery methods implemented in the University of NSW Library. BACKGROUND As one of Australia’s largest academic libraries, the University of NSW Library serves a community of 2300* academics, and 37,000* students supporting both their learning & teaching and research needs. In 2006, the Library restructured in an effort to build a stronger communication model with the faculties and a new method of delivering services to this community. The goal is to build a strong partnership between the Library and the academy, where the value of the Library and its offerings is understood and appreciated as being integral to achieving the University’s learning & teaching and research priorities. *These figures are taken from the 2006 annual report METHOD Taking inspiration from a variety of service professions, the University Library has separated the distinct functions of service development, service delivery and communication. Specialist staff are assigned to innovation and new service development projects. Subject librarians are given ownership of relevant areas of the collection and the resultant services. Communication and delivery of these services is managed by a team of individual client contacts. IMMEDIATE IMPACT The response to this model amongst the academic community has been mixed, but primarily positive. The academy was used to seeing the Library primarily as a service centre for the undergraduate community and therefore the reassignment of professional services to support research represents a considerable change. Benefits demonstrated so far are an increased penetration into the academic community and therefore a greater awareness of our user requirements, and a consolidated approach to collection management. NEXT STEPS Future challenges involve: Consolidating the way in which the Library offers value to our community Implementing appropriate measures to record the impact of the model Maturing the service towards a more targeted solutions delivery method ]]>

Kaye Lasserre, William Chun and Lisa Kruesi University of Queensland The University of Queensland Library and the School of Medicine conducted the first major Australian trial of Personal Digital Assistants’ (PDAs) use by medical students at the Rural Clinical Schoolduring 2003 and 2004. The trial became an ongoing PDA Service from 2005, and its role in enhancing medical education has been demonstrated by continued funding and senior management support. The PDA Service has helped to provide key health information resources for students on rural placements. Adoption of the Service has addressed some of the equity issues caused by inadequate Information Communication and Technology (ICT) infrastructure beyond urban centres. Rural students’ use of information at the point of care facilitates learning and establishes good practice for future clinical decision making. This presentation will discuss the Rural Clinical School Librarians’ story about the implementation of the PDA Service, the lessons learnt and why it was a component of "An Integrated Package of Innovative Rural Medical Education:Enhancing Student Outcomes and Increasing the Rural Medical Workforce", 2006 Carrick Award Winner for Australian University Teaching. ]]>

Mary Simons & Karen Marks Macquarie University Library OBJECTIVE To identify which library services will meet the evolving information needs of the Australian School of Advanced Medicine during 2007 & 2008. Specifically: How can we develop services for clinical postgraduate students and academic/surgical staff? How can we develop services for research postgraduate students and academic staff? In what ways can we support the educational goals of the Australian School of Advanced Medicine? Background to this study The Australian School of Advanced Medicine (ASAM) at Macquarie University is a unique venture that will offer advanced subspecialty training for doctors. The School and the adjoining Macquarie University Private Hospital will open on campus in 2009, being the first of its kind in Australia. ASAM is modelled on the American Mayo Clinic principle of excellence in health care and life long learning, providing team interaction in education, research and clinical care. An advanced neurosurgery course will begin in 2007 and other subspecialties will be available from 2009. Students will also enrol in the Master of Higher Education (Medical Education) program at Macquarie University. The School’s Neuroscience Research Group and clinical programs will complement Macquarie University’s existing specialties in cognitive science, speech therapy and audiology. METHODOLOGY The following methodologies are being utilized to identify useful Library services: Evaluation of Library Impact Statements (prepared by academics when proposing new courses) to determine key resources and services. Assessment of feedback from the Research Group’s Library orientation session. Analysis of focus group interviews with staff and students. Analysis of individual interviews with staff and students. Environmental scan and benchmarking. Collaboration and networking with other universities and hospitals Setting This study is being carried out whilst the School and Hospital construction is underway. ASAM services are currently fragmented across the University campus and Dalcross Private Hospital. Library services need to be accessible from these settings. Population Clinical, educational and research staff and students of ASAM. RESULTS The information needs of the clinical, educational and research streams differ in ways that require varying levels and types of Library support. Library Impact Statements revealed that the Library holds several key online resources, however, there is a need for additional materials. Feedback from the orientation session and interviews revealed a lack of awareness of the Library’s print and online resources and its Document Supply service. Library tutorials and electronic guides for medicine have been recommended as a means of promoting self-sufficiency and life long learning. CONCLUSION The study so far has revealed key journal titles already held as well as gaps in both online and print resources that need to be addressed through an increase in Library funding. The focus groups, interviews and orientation feedback have been essential for identifying relevant services and resources: plans for an e-Guide for Medicine, further orientation sessions and regular meetings with ASAM senior staff are underway as a result of staff feedback. A regular online newsletter has been developed and further communication initiatives with ASAM are planned to identify key resources and services for this unique user group. ]]>

Jennifer Peasley Macquarie University Macquarie University is currently undergoing a number of significant changes, including a review of the academic structure of the University, the establishment of a new medical school and planning for a new Library building. The challenge for Macquarie University Library is to focus on the future as well as the present – to anticipate the impact of these changes and the needs of current and future users in planning our service model, so that we can provide the services and support required. One of the biggest challenges is planning for a new building which will not open until 2010: what environments will our users want to work in and how can we capitalise on technological developments to deliver quality services when, where and how our users need them? Working through the possibilities provides us with an opportunity to explore how we might structure and develop our workforce, ensure quality, and develop and trial new services and delivery methods, making use of Web 2.0 technologies. This paper will explore the potential requirements of our users, their physical and virtual environments and how the Library is planning to develop new approaches to service delivery to meet their needs. ]]>

Robin R. Sewell Arizona Health Sciences Library, University of Arizona Shannon Sweeny EBSCO Australia Objectives and Methods Objective The Arizona Health Information Network (AZHIN) is a consortium of 34 member health services institutions which range in size from academic institutions to small medical clinics. The goal of this project was to improve access to resources on-site and off-site by using a single sign-on product and improve the security of the resources by implementing a password management system. Methods In the past non-IP authenticated on-site and off-site access required AZHIN members to use a different username and password for each vendor’s products. Athens was selected for its ability to interact with vendors, provide single sign-on access to resources, and for its password and account management features. Resource access management through Athens permissions sets simplified any changes to the resources available and provided a way for organizations to use Athens authentication for resources they purchase separately. This implementation had several challenges related to the custom delivery of resources accessed through dynamically generated web pages and the use of a custom login method. Another challenge was the management of variations in URLs used by vendors for IP and Athens authentication, especially in the context of LinkSource, EBSCO’s link resolver. Results and Conclusions Athens is currently in use by 27 AZHIN member organizations, having added over 2,000 users in one year. The existing vendor-based password system will be discontinued at the end of June. Three of the larger academic institutions use local proxy systems for authentication and are not using Athens. Many of the obstacles could have been over come by requiring all users to log into Athens regardless of there ability to IP authenticate. We chose to take the more difficult route in order to provide more seamless access to resources when ever possible. ]]>

CRGH Medical Library Wiki: Improving staff communication and interaction to enhance user services JR Philips and KR Lee Concord Repatriation General Hospital Medical Library Background: The Medical Library at Concord Repatriation General Hospital has four full-time staff members - Library Manager, Reference Librarian, Document Delivery Officer and Library Officer, and a volunteer who assists ½ day a week. This team is involved in the development and implementation of a variety of projects to aid library clients, who comprise staff of both the hospital (a principal teaching hospital of the University of Sydney) and the wider Sydney South West Area Health Service, as well as students from a variety of other tertiary institutions. Whilst staff meetings once every other month provide a framework to drive these projects and a time to discuss required topics such as occupational health & safety, security and quality, the introduction of a wiki to improve Library staff communications and interaction across all these areas seemed both timely and beneficial. With this in mind, the following research was undertaken. Objective: Development and use of a library-oriented wiki to enhance communication and interaction within the Library. Methodology 1. Identify potential wiki applications, based on the following criteria:  Freely available  Authentication to prevent unauthorised access  Easy to use (WYSIWYG editing)  RSS and email updates for changes made  No extra software required to run the application  Runs on Windows  Stable and upgradeable  File based storage  Page Preview  Comments  Complex tables  HTML tag support  File attachments 2. Seek advice from SSWAHS Information Management & Technology (IM&T) in relation to any policy relating to use of wikis in the Area. 3. Implement preferred wiki on a trial basis. 4. Provide training in wiki use. 5. Survey users to measure usefulness of wiki in improving communication and interaction. Results:  Potential wiki applications were identified using http://www.wikimatrix.org/ in conjunction with the previously identified criteria.  Two categories of wikis were identified; those externally hosted and available via the Internet and those internally hosted and available over LAN/WAN:  Externally hosted wiki applications: o BrainKeeper http://www.brainkeeper.com/ o CentralDesktop http://www.centraldesktop.com/ o Metadot Wiki http://www.metadot.net o PBwiki http://pbwiki.com/ o SamePage http://www.etouch.net/ o Socialtext http://www.socialtext.com/ o Wikispaces http://www.wikispaces.com/ o Internally hosted wiki applications: o MoniWiki http://kldp.net/projects/moniwiki/ o Oddmuse http://www.oddmuse.org/ o PhpWiki http://phpwiki.sourceforge.net/ o PmWiki http://www.pmwiki.org/ o PukiWiki http://pukiwiki.sourceforge.jp/ o TWiki http://twiki.org/  An externally hosted wiki (PBwiki) was chosen as a pilot for the concept as it enabled a wiki to be set up very quickly and required minimal training time. This application was chosen from the short-list as the wiki implementor (JR Philips) had experience using this wiki elsewhere  Library staff have been trained in the use of PBwiki.  A survey to measure the usefulness of the wiki in enhancing communication and teamwork is currently being developed.  Advice has been sought from the CIO, SSWAHS to ensure that the externally hosted wiki is compliant with Area policies and IT requirements.  Depending upon IM&T requirements, it is recommended that PhpWiki, PmWiki and Twiki be trialled first in the event that an internally hosted wiki is required as they have the largest range of other features available out of the six listed. Conclusions: The project has yet to be completed, but at this point the different sections of the pilot Internet-based wiki appear to be working well and we are able to share information through this medium. The ease of use, popularity, and benefit provided by the trial wiki will be measured by the user survey to be carried out shortly. Advice yet to be received from our CIO in relation to Area policy, will also determine whether we continue to develop our externally hosted wiki, or install and trial a locally hosted version. ]]>

Shifting Sands through Innovation – The Qatar Experience. Karen Joc Business Development Manager, Softlink Australia The Weill Cornell Medical College in Qatar (WCMC-Q) is a joint venture between Cornell University and the Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development. The Foundation’s premiere project is Education City, a multi-institutional campus which aims for progressive education, state of the art technology and cutting edge research. WCMC-Q is part of Cornell University, and the first American medical school to offers an American MD outside of the US. The college is housed in a state of the art facility which opened in 2002 and the college’s mission promotes the development and use of technology in this deliberately digital environment. WCMC-Q’s Distributed eLibrary directive is to provide both services and resources beyond the confines of the traditional library space and plays an integral role in contributing to the college’s mission. This address will outline the experience, opportunities and the challenges of working as a medical librarian from within this deliberately digital environment. Some areas of discussion will include: the challenges of a start up environment; living and working in a developing country; idiosyncrasies of a diverse student population; the impact of the technological drive of the college on library services; librarian class attendance, clinical librarianship and outreach from beyond the library’s walls; the realities of virtual reference, roving reference, chat and IM and the role librarians play in curriculum integration and evidence based medicine. ]]>

Some areas of discussion will include: the challenges of a start up environment; living and working in a developing country; idiosyncrasies of a diverse student population; the impact of the technological drive of the college on library services; librarian class attendance, clinical librarianship and outreach from beyond the library’s walls; the realities of virtual reference, roving reference, chat and IM and the role librarians play in curriculum integration and evidence based medicine. ]]> Thu, 22 Nov 2007 23:07:59 GMT http://www.slideshare.net/NSWHLF2007/shifting-sands-through-innovation-the-qatar-experience-176487 NSWHLF2007@slideshare.net(NSWHLF2007) Shifting Sands through Innovation – The Qatar Experience (Karen Joc) NSWHLF2007 Shifting Sands through Innovation – The Qatar Experience.

The poster was originally accepted for presentation at the 4th International Evidence Based Library and Information Practice Conference (EBLIP4, North Carolina, May 2007) to which ultimately, the authors were unable to attend. However, the NSW Health Libraries Forum 2007 provides an ideal opportunity to finally share this work with our peers. This year marks the ten-year anniversary of the term “evidence-based librarianship”. In 1997 this concept began its ascent from a discussion among likeminded library professionals into the published literature. It has continued to rise through the profession to occupy a place in the mainstream and afford librarians an enhanced view of the landscape in which they make decisions. Similarly, Down Under in Sydney, Australia, people have, for 75 years, crossed the Sydney Harbour Bridge the traditional way – along the eight-lane carriageway. Around the same time that Jonathan Eldredge’s Hypothesis article introduced “evidence-based librarianship” (11:3, pp.4-7), another pioneer was establishing BridgeClimb – an exciting new challenge with a fantastic view from the top, climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge via the steel arch. Today, EBLIP practitioners are like the BridgeClimbers – ready to seek new perspectives, take a different route and enjoy the journey as well as achieving the destination. Adventurous BridgeClimbers ascend/cross the steel arch with confidence, supported by a well engineered structure and strong foundations. Libraries Using Evidence – eblip.net.au offers a similarly solid foundation of authoritative resources to support EBLIP practitioners as they seek different perspectives on their professional practice.]]>
