Web 2.0 : the empowerment of the Librarian (and the User)
LECTURER:
Guus van den Brekel
AFFILIATION:
Central Medical Library, University Medical Center Groningen, The Netherlands
An empowerment session called "Web 2.0" promises to look into Web 2.0 possibilities in
relation to librarianship. Of course best practices, opportunities and limitations are a good
part of this session, as well as a look at the existing tools involving EAHIL.
But should we use this term Web 2.0 any longer? The students and the younger staff
members are brought up with Web Technologies. They don't see Web 2.0 as a separate
phenomenon, but as integrated features. They use them, just because they are there. What
role can / should the library play inside an organisation regarding availability of and access
to web technologies?
The session will be finished off with a glance at emerging technologies and the possible
relevance for libraries.
As Web 2.0 revolves all around communication, sharing and interaction your input in this
session is needed to discuss and exchange experiences within our EAHIL community.

In our research, we work to understand how people feel about the expansion of robots in different employment areas, and what factors influence their feelings. Mainly we aim to discover what factors influence people‟s opinions on robots.
The widely publicized views about robotics and artificial intelligence come to opposite conclusions. One being the idea that increased development of artificial intelligence and robots may lead to a situation of mass unemployment. The other more optimistic one being that the fear of job loss is unwarranted because a displacement and reposition of employment is what will ensue. There are also more contemporary views such as the following, to accelerate the development of robots and AI while maintaining employment opportunities at the same time, it is necessary to upgrade human capital.
The results of our research show that males have a more positive view about robots than females. People who found out about robots via scientific readings are also more likely to have a positive opinion about them than those who found out about robots via media. Furthermore, people who were personally exposed to robots or who had heard about them from friends are less likely to have a negative opinion about them than those who found out the information via scientific readings. The results also show that the more interested a person is in science and technology, the more likely he or she will have a positive view of robots.
We did not discover significant correlation between peoples‟ view about robots and their country of origin, also their age was not a significant determinate. We included further descriptive questions in our study pertaining to where respondents believe robots should be used as well as where robots should not be used. The majority of responses were in the fields of manufacturing and education. From this we draw that as of now, most people cannot accept the use of robots within social interaction due to either personal fears or lack of trust.
The presentation gives a broad overview of crowdsourcing and crowdsensing. It motivates the ideas of several types of crowdsourcing and crowdsensing applications using typical examples from business and society.

Keynote talk for NCRM Stream Analytics workshop, 19 January 2017, Manchester.
My talk is called "New and Emerging Forms of Data: Past, Present, and Future” and I will be giving a perspective from my role as one of the ESRC Strategic Advisers for Data Resources, in which I was responsible for new and emerging forms of data and realtime analytics. The talk also includes some of the current work in the Oxford e-Research Centre on Social Machines (the SOCIAM project) and an introduction to the PETRAS Internet of Things project.
The talk raises a number of important issues looking ahead, including massive scale of data that is already being supplied by Internet of Things, the implications of automation in our research, reproducibility and confidence in research results. I will also ask, how can the new forms of data and new research methods enable social scientists to work in new ways, and can we move on from the dependence on the traditional investment in longitudinal studies?

Drawing the line further from where "Getting into the User Environment" stopped,
this presentation invites everybody to look more deeply into the use of social
networks (open or closed) by our users in general and focusses in particular on the
development of library services inside various types of social networks.What are the
benefits of making your medical library visible inside MySpace or Facebook?
And how do online personal startpage applications like iGoogle, Netvibes or
Pageflakes fit into this? The network (evolved by technology) is changing the users
behaviour and that will affect the future of information services.

In the presentation on February 13, I covered what emerging technology is and how it relates to libraries. Now it’s time to dive into what that means on a larger scale. What makes technology good or bad? Who is really qualified to make that determination? Anyone who tracks emerging technology will start to think about how this technology will affect the future of our communities and the world. What will make a piece of technology influential and powerful in the world? Tune in if you want to learn more about the following topics:
•Which ethics matter most in technology?
•What makes technology good or bad?
•What potential dangers should we be aware of with new technology?
•What factors might affect society in the long-run?
There are no easy answers to any of these questions. The concept of ‘ethics’ tends to be a gray area for many, and understandably so. This presentation won’t give you a finite right or wrong stance on all technology. But it will provide you with the tools to make the decision for yourself.

Towards Knowledge Graph based Representation, Augmentation and Exploration of...Sören Auer
Despite an improved digital access to scientific publications in the last decades, the fundamental principles of scholarly communication remain unchanged and continue to be largely document-based. The document-oriented workflows in science have reached the limits of adequacy as highlighted by recent discussions on the increasing proliferation of scientific literature, the deficiency of peer-review and the reproducibility crisis. We need to represent, analyse, augment and exploit scholarly communication in a knowledge-based way by expressing and linking scientific contributions and related artefacts through semantically rich, interlinked knowledge graphs. This should be based
on deep semantic representation of scientific contributions, their manual, crowd-sourced and automatic augmentation and finally the intuitive exploration and interaction employing question answering on the resulting scientific knowledge base. We need to synergistically combine automated extraction and augmentation techniques, with large-scale collaboration to reach an unprecedented level of knowledge graph breadth and depth. As a result, knowledge-based information flows can facilitate completely new ways of search and exploration. The efficiency and effectiveness of scholarly communication will significant increase, since ambiguities are reduced, reproducibility is facilitated, redundancy is avoided, provenance and contributions can be better traced and the interconnections of research contributions are made more explicit and transparent. In this talk we will present first steps in this direction in the context of our Open Research Knowledge Graph initiative and the ScienceGRAPH project.
A key contemporary trend emerging in big data science is the Quantified Self (QS) - individuals engaged in the deliberate self-tracking of any kind of biological, physical, behavioral, or transactional information as n=1 individuals or in groups. This is giving rise to interesting pools of individual data, group data, and big data which can be interlinked to create a new era of highly-targeted value-specific consumer applications. There are significant opportunities in big data to develop models to support QS data collection, integration, analysis, and use for personal lifestyle and consumption management. There are also opportunities to provide leadership in designing consumer-friendly standards and etiquette regarding the use of personal and collective data. Next-generation QS big data applications and services could include tools for rendering QS data meaningful in behavior change, establishing baselines and variability in objective metrics, applying new kinds of pattern recognition techniques, and aggregating multiple self-tracking data streams from wearable electronics, biosensors, mobile phones, genomic data, and cloud-based services. Potential limitations regarding QS activity need to be considered including consumer non-adoption, data privacy and sharing concerns, the digital divide, ease-of-use, and social acceptance.

PF Anderson presents for OLLI-UM on February 25, 2021. Graphic Medicine describes the genre of comics and graphic novels around healthcare, as told from personal and professional perspectives. Many think of comics as for children, but that could be risky with some of these! The personal experiences described can be tender or gritty, and touch on topics such as specific conditions, social justice, dying, lived experiences, resilience. Visual aspects of storytelling take advantage of new literacies, offering insights not possible through other mediums.
Brief lightning talk for UofM THL, repeated for MLA Research Caucus on January 27, 2021. On the subject of using systematic review search skills in combination with non-systematic review research methodologies.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN HEALTHCARE.pdfAnujkumaranit
Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems. It encompasses tasks such as learning, reasoning, problem-solving, perception, and language understanding. AI technologies are revolutionizing various fields, from healthcare to finance, by enabling machines to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence.

4. What is Team
#6 doing?
“The explosion of information, expansion
of technology (especially mobile
technology), and complexity of the health
care environment present medical
librarians and medical libraries
opportunities and challenges. To live up to
the opportunities and challenges, what
kinds of skill sets or information structure
are medical librarians or medical libraries
required to have or acquire so as to be
strong partners or contributors of
continuing effectiveness to the changing
environment?”
ie. Emerging Technologies relevant to
medical librarians

10. Roles for #MedLibs
“Medical librarians are geniuses of honing the question & finding info that matches the precise question”
“Evaluate information delivering technologies and recommend usage to clinicians”
“Need guidance in the growing tech wilderness. Choosing appropriate solutions based on available
evidence.”
“I Love that Medical Libraries are the Free Agents of Knowledge. I don't ever worry this might be a bias.”
“Any good leader values people who can help acquire, organize, and disseminate meaning and knowledge.”
“At minimum the link between librarians and faculty has to be strengthened- they should be active
faculty, all prof”
“As they are trusted resources, role should be both curator of available options, & possibly benchmarking
best practices”
Libraries also facilitate long-term memory, this helps spot bad ideas being recycled.”
“How can med library evidence-based info be translated into usable app for docs/nurses?”
“Librarians are like the ultimate data curators...or they could be”
“would love to see public libraries display/teach health apps - not province of only med libs”

11. ID Tech, Step 4: Survey
What does “emerging
technologies mean to
you?”
List as many “emerging
technologies” as you
can.
etc.

12. Survey Highlights
Brief:
6 months (April - September 2013)
45 respondents
340 individual technology suggestions
“We need our own skills to have a massive overhaul.”
“Make them cheaper to implement!”
“But I want to see a librarian know how to translate that
knowledge to his/her users using different tech means.”
“If we are going to be taken seriously by the healthcare
practitioners we serve, we have to take a leap forward in time.”
