Description: As the OUWB School of Medicine continues to grow and class sizes increase, it becomes more challenging to provide a unique and personalized experience for each medical student. Beginning in August 2017, the OUWB Medical Library piloted a Personal Librarian Program pairing all 125 incoming first-year medical students with a library faculty member. The purpose of the program was to raise awareness of library faculty expertise and services, showcase relevant library resources tied to major curriculum milestones throughout the year, and further promote a sense of community. The pilot also provided an easy structure to divide, review, and provide individualized feedback to each student on their reported searching of the literature for their research project proposals. This lightning round presentation will describe the pilot program structure and major projects as well as the opportunities and challenges encountered in implementing such a program.

3. When Time Really Matters: An Interdisciplinary Investigation to Enhance Library Skills Education in Accelerated Nursing Students
Presenter: Jill Turner, Associate Librarian, University of Detroit Mercy; Jean Gash, PhD APRN, Associate Professor, University of Detroit Mercy
Description: A hundred years ago a good nurse was someone who followed doctor’s orders without question (Dock, 1917). Today, nurses follow evidence –based practice (EBP), which is integral for decision-making, quality of patient care and improved health outcomes (Leach, Hofmeyer, & Bobridge, p195 2015). This study evaluated if 3 (one-hour) library skill sessions, versus one 3-hour library skills session, resulted in greater skills for locating evidenced-based information. A pre-test post-test quasi-experimental research design was conducted to study the effect of time in teaching library skills. Two groups of students were assigned to usual practice (control groups) of 1 three-hour library information session. The remaining 2 groups were the experimental groups receiving 3 one-hour library information sessions in three sequential weeks. Prior to the intervention, all students (n=108) completed a pretest survey. To determine if the students had internalized the instruction and were using the library skills, the posttest was completed 9 weeks following the intervention. The results of this analysis were statistically significant, indicating that after removing the effects of the pretest, students in the control group (1 three hour session) had higher percentages of correct scores than students in the experimental group (3 one hour sessions). These findings indicate that participation in an interdisciplinary (nursing and library faculty) library skills class for one 3-hour session improved students’ ability to locate and use evidence-based research.
4. Reorganization of Vascular Surgery Patient Education Materials to Maximize Access and Usability
Presenters: Amy Hyde, Patient Education Informationist, Michigan Medicine; Bethany Lee-Lehner, M.S.N., R.N., Director of Patient Education for the Frankel Cardiovascular Center, Michigan Medicine; Karelyn Munro B.A., Patient Education Resources Coordinator, Michigan Medicine; Ruti Volk, Lead, Patient Education and Health Literacy Program, Michigan Medicine
Description:
Objective: To allow quick access to a large collection of patient-education handouts for clinicians and patients of the vascular surgery department.
Methods: The librarian utilized the institution’s web-based database for approved patient-education materials to catalog a collection of 110 materials created or selected by vascular surgery faculty and staff. The database enables creating separate webpages for clinicians and patients, each with its own URL. Materials were sorted into categories and subcategories and catalogued with subject headings from the Consumer Health Vocabulary. The system enables patients to access the same materials clinicians provide at the clinic or the bedside. A flyer that includes the URL for the patient’s page was created and uploaded to the Electronic Medical Record. The flyer can be posted in patient areas, handed out, or printed with the after visit summary. Usability training was given to staff to show how to use the site and how to refer patients to the site.
Results: Two web pages were created, one for clinicians and one for patients. The final poster will include analytics data on the number of times the pages were accessed and the number of times the flyer was sent to print with the after visit summary.
5. The Role of Affiliation Agreements In Negotiating Subscriptions and Licensing Agreements
Presenters: Margaret Hoogland, Clinical Medical Librarian, The University of Toledo; Becki Daniels, Library Manager, ProMedica
Description:
The decision by publishers to sell primarily packages rather than offering affordable single subscriptions to electronic books and journals makes the negotiating and licensing process an ordeal for health sciences libraries and hospital libraries. An added challenge, not usually mentioned, are affiliation agreements between hospital libraries and health science libraries. These affiliations provide additional learning opportunities for students, but it puts libraries in an increasingly challenging position, when it comes to determining how to provide access to library resources.
By examining the websites of five Ohio and three Michigan health science libraries and affiliated hospital libraries, the authors are seeking to identify duplicate resources and resources available in just the health science library or the hospital library. Then, the authors will contact the librarians at both the health science library and the hospital library to see how much influence they have in negotiating subscriptions and licensing agreements. Additionally, the authors hope to get a better understanding of how the affiliation agreement works in each location.
The two goals of the project are to get a better understanding for how affiliation agreements between health science libraries and hospital libraries work. Using this data, the authors hope to improve the existing process for licensing and subscription of resources for the University of Toledo-Mulford Health Sciences Library and the ProMedica-Toledo Hospital Library.
6. Rock and Stock the MHSLA Archives!
Presenter: Ali Konieczny, Health Sciences Librarian, Ferris State University
