Supporting Evidence-based Medicine Training and Implementation in Haiti evardell
Due to both a long-standing presence and geographic proximity, the University of Miami clinicians were some of the first responders in Haiti following the January 2010 earthquake. To support the immediate and varied needs of these responders, the Calder librarians created a website gathering both freely available and commercially licensed material most relevant to the first responders and donated two boxes of core medical textbooks. The Calder Library then received an Express Disaster Recovery Award from the National Network of Libraries of Medicine (NN/LM), Southeastern/Atlantic Regional Library, to bring laptops and other technical support to the University of Miami medical tent and the long-standing training of Haitian physicians and nurses. This award led to an invitation to join a University of Miami field visit to Haiti to observe firsthand the work there and implement a needs assessment of the University of Miami affiliates onsite as well as the Haitian medical students and nurses in training. This presentation will also discuss the Emergency Access Initiative and its first implementation in Haiti, in addition to the planning process, necessary troubleshooting, and the challenges of working in both a disaster setting and a developing country.
This document provides guidance on how to evaluate internet sources for research. It explains that credible sources are written by authors in their field of study and cite other sources. While older sources on topics like the Civil War can still be reliable, sources less than 10 years old are generally better. Websites without clear authors should be avoided unless they are from universities, governments, or reputable organizations ending in .edu, .gov, or .org, with exceptions like Wikipedia. Scholarly journals are peer-reviewed, have abstracts, and are written by experts in the field, whereas magazines may cite sources but are written by staff. The document provides examples of different types of sources and factors to consider when evaluating sources.

Digital Scholarship From the Bottom Up: The Library's Role in Open Access Stu...Robyn Hall
Presented at Netspeed 2013 in Calgary, Alberta on October 24, 2013.
Abstract: Open Journal Systems (OJS) is open source publishing software that has been adopted by scholarly communities around the world. Typically, it is hosted by academic libraries and used by faculty and graduate students to disseminate research articles independent of proprietary, for-profit journal publishers. Increasingly, however, educators are using this software for assignments and initiatives that give undergraduate students hands on experience with open access publishing of their own digital works and that of their peers. Drawing on a range of examples, this session will highlight ways that librarians can provide technical support, editorial guidance, and media/digital literacy instruction to help create and maintain open access student journals. Participants will also have an opportunity to see the inner workings of OJS while being asked to consider the possibilities and implications of managing an open journal hosting service at their own library, be it public, academic, or special.

This slide is a review: FIRST – Remember that Good Research begins with a good question. Don’t know one? Pick a subject you are interested in and visit the Academic Encyclopedia to get subject headings, issues and keywords. Refresher before we visit academic journal databasesTo research a topic begin by identifying broad subject area of interest. First Stop: Choose an appropriate subject encyclopedia, look up in dictionary to get an understanding of the topic, its facets and its “aboutness”. What is interesting to you? How can you make that into a research topic question?One example:? Big Topic – Burnout in the Workplace then narrow focus: preventing burnout Research question chosen: “ How can today’s office worker best resist burnout in the workplace”?. Pg. Research Strategies, Badke, William B. Research Strategies. Finding your Way through the Information FogFrom there start brainstorming several related keywords. Then choose a database and begin searching. Expand or refine your topic as necessary to develop a Research Topic. Cite from specific academic journal articles that support or further inform your research topic.

Why are academic journals such a direct route?You know what you are getting and what you are not by database and journal description – how far back does this go? How long has this journal been in publication? Who publishes this? Is that going to be on my topic?EfficientPeer reviewedIndexedCan allow cross disciplineMultiple ways to access information facets : location, author/creator/time/ other topic specific descriptors and controlled vocabularyTools: Boolean Search, Truncation, thesaurus or controlled vocabularyResults show you how to find more results (pearl growing)Result sets are more relevanthttp://www.flickr.com/photos/lpicco1/4080000161/Photo copyrighted by Laura Piccolo
How can I find what I don’t know about? Choose topic subject headings and keywords that match your research question.Combine headings or keywords to yield more precise resultsChoose the right database for your topic – read through descriptions of journals includedOr search for a specific journal title if you know it alreadyBecome very familiar with the database user interface optionsLook at advanced search optionsLook at subject terms, thesauri, vocabulary facetsHow can you narrow this search?How can broaden this search?How can you start over?Practice PracticePractice – it will become much easierFinding it is an iterative Process
Why should we look at this one? Is it a keeper or a keep on?.. Is one of the largest scholarly, multi-disciplinary full text databases. It indexes over 8,000 academic journals, with full texts of 4,600 of them keyword searchable. Indexing extends…as far back as 1965. Online description of this file says it offers “information in nearly every area of academic study including: social sciences, humanities, education, computer sciences, engineering, physics, chemistry, language and linguistics, arts and literature, medical sciences, ethnic studies and many more.” Mann, Thomas. The Oxford Guide to Library Research: How to Find Reliable Information Online and Offline. Third Edition. P 110-111. Ask – what makes this a great resource for our use?
Example: Eisenberg and Berkowitz (1990) provided school library media specialists, students, and classroom teachers with a model that could be used in a variety of settings for a variety of activities. Big6 (Eisenberg and Berkowitz 1990) is a six-step process that provides support in the activities required to solve information-based problems: task definition, information seeking strategies, location and access, use of information, synthesis, and evaluation http://www.ala.org/aasl/aaslpubsandjournals/slmrb/slmrcontents/volume62003/bigsixinformation
http://youtu.be/sGjGMkVJX4kRemember this is an iterative, repetitive process. You will get to know your database features and you will use them to dial up or dial down result sets. Don’t be afraid to experiment. Keep track of landmarks and landmines as you go!
Use Database features and index facetsto tailor and refine search strategiesIt takes practice!!!! Keep your topic in mind and visualize the kinds of results that you are looking for – example:academic journal articles peer reviewed, full text
Don’t leave without your passport!
Remember – get help from librarians or help section in database when you need it.Be sure you have selected the best academic journal database for your subject headings / topics.Cite your sources in the style your instructor has asked for using citation tools (Use It).
