ScHARRHUD Health Utilities Database - ISPOR Dublin November 2013scharrlibrary
The poster was presented at the ISPOR European Conference, 4-6 November 2013. It
describes the development of ScHARRHUD, the ScHARR Health Utilities Database. The purpose of ScHARRHUD is to provide access to details of studies that report health state utility values (HSUVs). The web-based, beta version of ScHARRHUD is now available. Over 150 patient reported outcomes instruments are indexed on the database, including generic, preference-based measures. ScHARRHUD is freely available and can be accessed at www.scharrhud.org. The development of the database is ongoing. The development of the alpha version of ScHARRHUD was supported by the NIHR Yorkshire and Humber Research Development Service (RDS).
This presentation was funded by CDC and PEPFAR through the SUCCEED project at Stellenbosch University. The presentation was delivered by Ms Lynn Hendricks from the Centre for Evidence Based Health Care in July 2017

Using alternative scholarly metrics to showcase the impact of your research: ...SC CTSI at USC and CHLA
Date: Feb 7, 2018
Speaker: Caroline Muglia, Co-Associate Dean for Collections and Technical Services; and Head, Resource Sharing and Collection Assessment, USC Libraries
Overview: Scholarship is increasingly being created, disseminated, and measured on digital and social platforms. If Twitter exchanges, Facebook “saves,” and YouTube hits are the new metrics for tracking scholarship, how are we measuring societal and educational impact and outreach? How can researchers display their research impact using social media on promotion and tenure dossiers? This webinar will discuss altmetrics, alternative scholarly metrics that measure the impact and use of scholarship. We will focus on PlumX, the tool used at USC, which combines traditional and new metrics to paint a comprehensive portrait of your scholarly output and its reach in various communities and with different stakeholders.

Starting from scratch – building the perfect digital repositoryVioleta Ilik
By establishing a digital repository on the Feinberg School of Medicine (FSM), Northwestern University, Chicago campus, we anticipate to gain ability to create, share, and preserve attractive, functional, and citable digital collections and exhibits. Galter Health Sciences Library did not have a repository as of November 2014. In just a few moths we formed a small team that was charged at looking to select the most suitable open source platform for our digital repository software. We followed the National Library of Medicine master evaluation criteria by looking at various factors that included: functionality, scalability, extensibility, interoperability, ease of deployment, system security, system, physical environment, platform support, demonstrated successful deployments, system support, strength of development community, stability of development organization, and strength of technology roadmap for the future. These factors are important for our case considering the desire to connect the digital repository with another platform that was an essential piece in the big FSM picture – VIVO. VIVO is a linked data platform that serves as a researchers’ hub and which provides the names of researchers from academic institutions along with their research output, affiliation, research overview, service, background, researcher’s identities, teaching, and much more.
What do MARC, RDF, and OWL have in common?Violeta Ilik
It is understood that in the current library ecosystem, catalogers must be willing to adapt to new semantic web environment while keeping in mind the crucial library mission – providing efficient access to information. How could catalogers transform their jobs in order to enable library users to retrieve information more effectively in the age of semantic web?
Researchers have argued that catalogers have the fundamental skills to successfully work with and repurpose the metadata originally created for use in traditional library systems by utilizing various programing languages. In the new environment their jobs will require new tools and new systems but the basic skills of organization of information, knowledge of commonly used access points, and an ever growing knowledge of information technology systems will still be the same. This presentation will stress the role of catalogers in bringing the data silos down, merging, augmenting, and creating interoperable data that can be used not just in library specific systems, but in various other systems. Catalogers’ indispensable knowledge of controlled vocabularies, authority aggregators, metadata creation, metadata reuse, taxonomies, and data stores makes it all possible.
We will demonstrate how catalogers’ knowledge can be leveraged to design an institutional repository and/or a researchers profiling system, create semantic web compliant data, create ontologies, utilize unique identifiers, and (re)use data from legacy systems.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

According to NLM: Work consisting of a clinical trial involving one or more test
treatments, at least one control treatment, specified outcome measures for
evaluating the studied intervention, and a bias-free method for assigning patients to
the test treatment. The treatment may be drugs, devices, or procedures studied for
diagnostic, therapeutic, or prophylactic effectiveness. Control measures include
placebos, active medicine, no-treatment, dosage forms and regimens, historical
comparisons, etc. When randomization using mathematical techniques, such as the
use of a random numbers table, is employed to assign patients to test or control
treatments, the trial is characterized as a RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL.
