The Public Health Information Access Project (PHIA) aims to improve evidence-based public health practice by providing seamless access to published literature and other resources. PHIA identifies core trusted resources and makes them available through digital libraries for state public health departments. It also subsidizes access to other resources through participating National Network of Libraries of Medicine members. PHIA trains nearly 900 public health professionals and addresses limitations of previous short-term projects by providing sustainable long-term access to resources. Initial feedback indicates the digital libraries help inform policy development, program planning, and grant writing.
Teaching research data managament using the NEDMC curriculum. A collaboration between the University of Massachusetts Medical School and Tufts University and other partners. Presentation given by regina Raboin Tufts University at LDAP March 2014
The library has undergone a major reorganization over the past six months, laying off six staff members and reconfiguring spaces. Two library fellows have been hired and three task forces formed to develop the fellows curriculum, overhaul reference services, and promote research. Departments have been affected by losing positions but also benefit from more collaboration and emphasis on teaching. Ongoing activities include teams focusing on the website, archives systems, and a review of electronic resources. Priorities going forward include increased support for eResearch, embedded librarianship, and promoting open access and publishing. The reorganization has created a more collaborative culture with a focus on mentoring, training, and research.
The Four R's: The Future of the LibraryElaine Martin
The document outlines a plan for the Lamar Soutter Library to address budget cuts through a process of rejecting old models, rethinking librarianship, and redoing staffing and services. It proposes transitioning from a model relying on support staff to an all-professional staff. This involves laying off support staff, hiring recent MLS graduates as fellows, implementing a new appointment-based reference model, and increasing librarian participation in areas like research and education. The goal is to rejuvenate the library by focusing resources on mission critical activities and creating opportunities for professional growth.

PhD students as a library user group are receiving increased
focus in the development of library services. In addition to
writing their doctoral thesis, they need to balance the roles
as ‘good academics’ and ‘good scientists’, and a key element
in this respect is raised awareness around academic integrity
and publication channels. In this breakout session, based on
experiences from our own teaching sessions, we discuss how
PhD students respond to these challenges, and which actions
should be taken by university libraries to help them meet the
expectations of present day academia.
In light of the recent EU decision to make all European
scientific articles freely accessible by 2020, academic
institutions must prepare to convince a considerable number
of researchers to publish their work open access. This talk
presents an example of how a university library can become
a prime mover in its institution’s work on open science.
Keywords to success are a dedicated team, collaboration with
the institution’s research administration and IT department,
and focusing on widespread information towards the
research community.
The document discusses the University of Manchester Library's implementation of a CRM system from Microsoft Dynamics. The CRM system was first rolled out to three areas including the library. For the library, the CRM system aims to improve relationship management, collaboration, analysis, customer intelligence, and other goals. The implementation process involved requirements gathering, change management, and training activities. Benefits of the CRM system for the library include more effective relationship management, enhanced profiling of academics, and better reporting capabilities. Future plans include expanding usage of the CRM system for additional library functions such as tracking billable time and analyzing service development trends.
The Eastern University Sri Lanka library initiated a new Research Support Service (RSS) to address issues with low research output and quality. RSS provides workshops on literature searching, academic writing, and statistical software to support students and faculty in their research activities. Initial workshops saw a poor response, but strategic promotion led to over 60 applications. Workshops were successful and feedback showed increased awareness, confidence, and library consultation among participants. The study recommends continuing and expanding RSS to improve research and help the university increase its ranking.
This document summarizes a study conducted by Taylor & Francis and Loughborough University on the user experience of postgraduate research students when searching for and managing academic information. The study found that (1) Google and Google Scholar are most students' starting points for research, though the library catalog is still used, (2) students primarily download papers to hard drives or use Mendeley to manage information, and (3) lack of access and time required to find information are the biggest frustrations. The study provides insights that could help libraries and publishers improve services to better meet students' needs.

The Many Faces of Embedded Librarianship: How do we Evaluate Effectiveness?Kim Mears
Objective: The health sciences library of a comprehensive research university implemented embedded librarianship two years ago by placing librarians in the adult and children’s hospitals, in four colleges and on a partnership campus. The embedded librarians have spent the past year reviewing practices and working to create an evaluation tool to assess effectiveness.
Methods: Embedded librarianship has been implemented in the Colleges of Allied Health Sciences, Dental Medicine, Nursing and Medicine as well as the Health System, and a satellite campus. Each librarian’s embedded model is different and based on the approach of the individual librarian and the needs of the areas served. Embedded librarians created a survey to measure the extent of embedded practices in other health science and hospital libraries. Librarians wanted to create a tool which would help evaluate our program with vastly different models from one are to the next and which could also help other institutions do the same.
Results: A preliminary survey was distributed to health science librarians in early 2014 after IRB approval was obtained. Survey information was used to gauge interest in the need for a tool to evaluate embedded practices and form the basis of what evaluation has already been done in other programs. The survey showed a great deal of interest in embedding librarians and the need for a comprehensive way to evaluate program effectiveness. Librarians then worked to build an embedded program evaluation toolkit based on academic health science institutions.
Conclusion: The toolkit consists of various parts with can be used in combinations that fit the embedded program being evaluated. The evaluation toolkit was created to fit with academic health science institutions and will be piloted in the Fall of 2014. Later expansion of the toolkit may include hospital specific measures, which will require partnership with hospital librarians.
Research for librarianship: A study of iSchool faculty output in CanadaLorie Kloda
This document summarizes research on the output of faculty from Canadian iSchools that offer ALA-accredited Master's degrees in library and information studies. The researchers analyzed over 300 journal articles published between 2008-2012 by over 100 faculty members. They found that over 65% of research articles were related to librarianship, with most focusing on information access and retrieval, collections, and reference. However, few articles were co-authored with library practitioners, indicating a disconnect between research and practice. The researchers concluded faculty at Canadian iSchools conduct research relevant to the field of librarianship, though its accessibility and relevance to practitioners could be improved.

The case for learning analytics - Jisc Digifest 2016Jisc
Jisc is developing a learning analytics service in consultation with universities and colleges, suppliers and key stakeholders. The rationale is to provide universities and colleges with a basic solution that can form the basis of a complete solution to all you learning analytics requirements.
We believe Jisc are uniquely placed to provide a national infrastructure that can support the future development of learning analytics within the UK.
This session will explore the case for learning analytics, does it work and do you need it?
With the growing importance of evidencing the ‘worth’ of
scholarship, the inexorable increase in metrics associated with
scholarly output, funder requirements for open access, and the
rise of digital scholarship, there has been a recent growth in the
provision of the one-stop support service: the Office for Scholarly
Communication. This session will draw on the experiences of two
UK universities in developing such Offices and the importance
of working with the research support function of the university,
particularly in relation to REF-related activities. The University of
Kent case study explores how the Library and Research Services worked together to build a business case for an OSC and how the proto-office is being developed through joint management. (The second presenter and case study are to be confirmed.)
Serach, Serendipity & the Researcher ExperienceNASIG
Presenter: Lettie Conrad, Executive Program Manager, Discovery & Product Analysis, SAGE Publishing
When considering academic researchers’ information-seeking and retrieval needs, we often focus on search – optimizing for search, Google-like search for libraries, user preferences for one-box quick-search tools, and so on. But what about unplanned instances of discovery? Are new technologies, such as text mining and natural language processing, enabling new pathways that lead researchers to relevant material, perhaps even leading to surprising new connections across disciplines? Conversely, with the prevalence of satisficing, does serendipity even play a role when searching for information about a scholarly topic?_x000D_
Through a study of undergraduate students and their faculty members, as well as a survey of publisher and website offerings, this talk will summarize common user pathways and how today’s students and faculty use content recommendation tools with recommendations for how libraries and the scholarly communications community might respond.
The document discusses the innovation and impact of the Library Engagement Team at the University of Birmingham. It summarizes the team's activities in strategic engagement, collections development, learning enhancement, research skills support, and creating connections with students and staff. Surveys found greater awareness of teaching support and a more positive perception of the library after the team's work. While the functional model has benefits, some debate the pros and cons of functional versus subject library models.

Teaching Information Literacy: A Performance Based Cycleannielibrarian
This document summarizes a presentation about developing and implementing a performance-based assessment of information literacy skills for freshman English students at the University of North Texas. It describes collaborating between the university libraries and English department to deliver library instruction sessions to nearly 600 students over two years. Pre- and post-instruction assessments found students had poor navigation and search skills, despite overestimating their abilities. To improve learning, librarians added active learning exercises and developed software to directly observe students' research performance, finding engagement and demonstration of skills increased. The authors conclude performance-based assessment is needed to truly evaluate information literacy.

Partnerships with medical professionals and other organizations help ensure accurate information is provided to patrons.
This document summarizes a study that conducted a stocktake of New Zealand's healthcare datasets. It identified 286 datasets across various categories held by different custodian organizations. Most datasets belonged to the Ministry of Health, universities, and district health boards. About half of the datasets contained individually identifiable patient data. The study found that while data quality and access protocols varied, there is significant value in New Zealand's health data assets. However, barriers around privacy and appropriate use would need to be addressed to fully realize this value. The study recommends making the stocktake information more accessible online and continuing to explore opportunities and address challenges around secondary use of the data.
1. The document discusses creating learning health systems (LHS) that use data to continually improve healthcare delivery and establish a social contract to share data for public benefit.
2. It proposes connected health cities (CHC) pilots in four regions of Northern England to test LHS approaches and share knowledge between regions.
3. The goals are to optimize care delivery using data, engage the public on data sharing, and accelerate digital health business growth in Northern England.

Answering your patrons’ health questions can be daunting. It requires expertise and being able to break through literacy and language barriers. However, as the past two years have shown us, libraries’ involvement in health education has never been more important than it is today. As a Catalysts for Community Health Fellows through the Institute of Museum and Library Services and The University of Missouri-Columbia, we’ve spent the last two years developing knowledge of community health resources for Nebraska public libraries and researching ways to support public library staff with health reference and education to their communities.
With the guidance of Region 3 of the National Network of Libraries of Medicine, we’ve developed a tool-kit for Nebraska public libraries containing free health resources for you and your library. These include posters, brochures, social media slides, tutorials, and multi-lingual health information. In addition, the tool-kit expands on further training for your staff, funding opportunities, and how to tap in to regional medical librarians and community health data to continue to support your patrons’ health needs. We’re excited to share this tool-kit with all of you and make it freely available to webinar participants to use and share as they wish.

Over two years, they improved library services and provided training to build capacity. This included hiring librarians, gaining access to databases, and promoting pre-appraised research evidence sources like Health-Evidence.ca to help staff apply evidence more efficiently. The document provides examples and resources to help other organizations on their similar evidence-informed decision making journeys.
Gather evidence to demonstrate the impact of your researchIUPUI
This workshop is the 3rd in a series of 4 titled "Maximize your impact" offered by the IUPUI University Library Center for Digital Scholarship. Faculty must provide strong evidence of impact in order to achieve promotion and tenure. Having strong evidence in year 5 is made easier by strategic dissemination early in your tenure track. In this hands-on workshop, we will introduce key sources of evidence to support your case, demonstrate strategies for gathering this evidence, and provide a variety of examples. These sources include citation metrics, article level metrics, and altmetrics as indicators of impact to support your narrative of excellence.

The Ultimate Guide in Setting Up Market Research System in Health-TechGokul Rangarajan
How to effectively start market research in the health tech industry by defining objectives, crafting problem statements, selecting methods, identifying data collection sources, and setting clear timelines. This guide covers all the preliminary steps needed to lay a strong foundation for your research.
"Market Research it too text-booky, I am in the market for a decade, I am living research book" this is what the founder I met on the event claimed, few of my colleagues rolled their eyes. Its true that one cannot over look the real life experience, but one cannot out beat structured gold mine of market research.
Many 0 to 1 startup founders often overlook market research, but this critical step can make or break a venture, especially in health tech.
But Why do they skip it?
Limited resources—time, money, and manpower—are common culprits.
"In fact, a survey by CB Insights found that 42% of startups fail due to no market need, which is like building a spaceship to Mars only to realise you forgot the fuel."
Sudharsan Srinivasan
Operational Partner Pitchworks VC Studio
Overconfidence in their product’s success leads founders to assume it will naturally find its market, especially in health tech where patient needs, entire system issues and regulatory requirements are as complex as trying to perform brain surgery with a butter knife. Additionally, the pressure to launch quickly and the belief in their own intuition further contribute to this oversight. Yet, thorough market research in health tech could be the key to transforming a startup's vision into a life-saving reality, instead of a medical mishap waiting to happen.
Example of Market Research working
Innovaccer, founded by Abhinav Shashank in 2014, focuses on improving healthcare delivery through data-driven insights and interoperability solutions. Before launching their platform, Innovaccer conducted extensive market research to understand the challenges faced by healthcare organizations and the potential for innovation in healthcare IT.
Identifying Pain Points: Innovaccer surveyed healthcare providers to understand their difficulties with data integration, care coordination, and patient engagement. They found widespread frustration with siloed systems and inefficient workflows.
Competitive Analysis: Analyzed competitors offering similar solutions in healthcare analytics and interoperability. Identified gaps in comprehensive data aggregation, real-time analytics, and actionable insights.
Regulatory Compliance: Ensured their platform complied with HIPAA and other healthcare data privacy regulations. This compliance was crucial to gaining trust from healthcare providers wary of data security issues.
Customer Validation: Conducted pilot programs with several healthcare organizations to validate the platform's effectiveness in improving care outcomes and operational efficiency. Gathered feedback to refine features and user interface.

34. PHIA: Innovative Business Model
• Enterprise licensing saves time, money, and effort.
• Central management of IP addresses ensures quick turn-around.
• Ability to understand change (System, personnel, environment).
• Resources are identified via benchmarking,metrics of direct use through
Digital Library, and requests from PHDs.
• Journals are identified via “Article Delivery” on Library Partner side.
• Alternative delivery of resources strengthens state relationships with
immediate access (within 4-24 hours).
35. EVALUATION PROCESSES
Levels of Data Collection
• Journal SurveyMonkey (baseline data for PHIA and PHD)
• Enterprise Licensing (cost effectiveness over time)
• Vendor statistical reports (validates “use of resources”)
• Monthly reports from “library partners” (measures use and identify
resources to develop Digital Libraries).
• Ongoing capture of suggested e-books, journals, and databases to
enhance collection
• Pre-Post training links
– (data related to knowledge of resources)
• Feedback from hands-on training
• Interviews with leaders and workforce
• Focus group sessions (after one year; subsequently)
• Quarterly/Annual Reports (submitted to NLM)
36. Results
• Digital libraries will be in place in 17 PHDs by July.
• Full-text access to more than 150 e-journals, 5
databases, reports and more.
• Introductory sessions have introduced PHD
leadership to the project and explained obligations.
• More resources have been added to “digital library.”
• Structured training has been held in 15 PHDs.
• More than 600 people have been trained with
backup models currently in test stage.
37. NACCHO Award Brings
Recognition to Project
• March 2012 and 2013, the PHIA PHD Digital Library Project received
a “promising practice award” from NACCHO.
• Presentations have been held at national and local meetings, e.g.,
APHA in Washington, DC in 2011 and Boston in November 2013.
• Article was published in AJPH in January 2014. Project was cited in
August 2012 EID (CDPHE).
• Presentations have been made at national public health meetings,
national and regional library meetings.
38. Testimonial
“Great recognition for this very valuable
initiative. Kudos and thank you.”
Jewel Mullen, MD, MPH, MPA, Commissioner,
Connecticut Department of Public Health
39. Discussion & Outcome
How Do We?
• Expand PHIA to all 50 states.
• Enhance partnerships & relationships.
• Continuously train PH Workforce to improve
competencies (knowledge and skills) given
staff turnover.
• Build a sustainable model including cost
structure and project management.
