#FOAMed and Medical Libraries: Where and How Should They Intersect?

Posted on May 16, 2013 by Amy Blevins

At the MLA meeting in Boston, our EMTS members expressed an interest in writing for the EMTS blog.  Our first guest writer is Keith Engwall (@librariandad), and he is the Web and Emerging Technologies Librarian at the OUWB Medical Library at Oakland University. Below is his post on FAOMed and MOOCs.

At the recent MLA Conference (my first), I became aware of a recurring theme:  evolving methods of instruction and/or learning.  There are a lot of us who are trying out some very brilliant and innovative things in providing instruction, and meanwhile, there are a lot of us (particularly us newbies) who are trying to get our heads wrapped around the subject matter.

The topics of MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) and FOAMed (Free Open Access Medical Education) have been coming up a lot lately, both on the fringes of my attention and front and center.  At my medical school (Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine in Rochester, MI), there has been a lot of recent discussion of MedEd Portal, an open access resource that includes a peer reviewed publication arm, a collaborative hub (iCollaborative), and a continuing education directory.  The topic came up at an annual medical education event lecture this morning.  And MOOCs are even showing up in the news, generating  buzz about the future of higher education.

It has me thinking, how are/should we in Medical Libraries be engaging with this space?  It seems to me that there are opportunities for us from both the learning and the teaching side.  Over at the New Members SIG, we are looking at a Coursera course in November on Clinical Terminology to help us better communicate with physicians, faculty, and/or students.  On the other side of things, I tried searching iCollaborative for resources relating to library and/or research instruction and didn’t find very much.  That seems like the perfect place for us as instructors to upload instructional materials, course guides, tutorials, etc. so that we may share our expertise and insight in the very same space that our patrons may be collaborating on their instructional initiatives.  I suspect that there may be some interesting opportunities for collaboration, not just with each other, but with physicians, medical faculty, etc. To what extent are we already engaged in this space?  How can we broaden that engagement to be inclusive of more libraries, both to bring in additional expertise and to provide opportunities to learn from each other?

2012-13 Annual Report

Posted on April 24, 2013 by EMTS

The 2012-13 EMTS Annual Report was filed on April 15. Elements of this report will be discussed during the EMTS Business Meeting in Boston (Tuesday, May 7, 4:30-6:00pm; Hynes Convention Center, room 203).

FYI, the report is divided into “goal” sections that relate to general MLA goals and, when applicable, also relate to specific 2012-13 MLA Presidential Goals.

-Jim Brucker, Chair EMTS

 

Educational Media and Technologies Section
2012-13 Annual Report

Goal 1: Recruitment, Membership and Leadership in the Profession

Objective: Increase section membership by examining social networking (Facebook) followers and contacting MLA members who are (1) part of the EMTS Facebook group and (2) not current members of EMTS.

NOTE: This is compatible with the MLA Presidential priority of “Expanded membership.”

Results and Summary:
The Facebook followers were compiled and analyzed during Fall 2012. At that time, of the 82 followers, 59 were not EMTS members, and 26 of those 59 were not MLA members. Instead of contacting each person directly (which might not have been possible in Facebook without being personally affiliated with each of those people), the Chair issued multiple Facebook group posts to encourage non-members to join MLA and EMTS. As of 4/12/2013, only two of those 59 went on to become EMTS members.
The resulting list of non-members should be provided to the EMTS board, with the suggestion that these people be contacted individually in 2013, assuming this would be more effective than the general group contact efforts of late 2012.
The Chair sent personalized welcome letters to new members in September 2012 and April 2013, and general “from the chair” messages were issued to EMTS membership in September 2012 and February 2013.

 

Goal 2: Life Long Learning

Objective: Participate in MLA program planning and advocate for MLA CE courses in EMTS areas of specialization.

Results and Summary:
Emily Hurst and Jeanne Burke created the section programming for the 2013 Annual Meeting. This occurred before the election of a 2012-13 Chair-Elect. Once Sheila Snow-Croft was elected to the Chair-Elect position, she worked with Emily and Jeanne to finalize the 2013 programming, and will report on the results of the programs during the 2013 EMTS business meeting. Ryan Harris continues to serve as the EMTS CE Chair.

 

Goal 3: Advocacy

Objective: Increase overall participation within the section, focusing on voter participation and volunteering for open officer positions.

NOTE: This is compatible with the MLA Presidential priority of “Energy into action.”

Results and Summary:
Dale Prince (EMTS Nominating Committee Chair), Beth Whipple and Ryan Harris assembled a 2013 election ballot, and Amy Blevins (EMTS Communication Coordinator) issued multiple calls for voting through Facebook, the blog and the email list. The ballot included two people running for the Chair-Elect position. The ballot was issued during January-February 2013, and the results were announced on February 12. 98 EMTS members voted. This is a 51% increase in voter participation compared to the 2012 election.

Election results:
Molly Knapp, EMTS Chair-Elect
Amy Blevins, Secretary/Treasurer
Pat Devine, EMTS Nominee to the MLA Nominating Committee

2013-14 EMTS Officers (goes into effect after the 2013 Annual Meeting):
Chair: Sheila Snow-Croft
Chair-Elect: Molly Knapp
Section Council Representative: Jim Brucker
Secretary/Treasurer: Amy Blevins
Communications Coordinator: Amy Blevins
Membership Chair: Jeanne Burke
Website Editor: Brandi Tuttle
Chair, Bylaws Committee: Dave Piper
Chair, EMTS Nominating Committee: Jim Brucker
Chair, CE: Ryan Harris

Additionally, the section once again offered an “Annual Meeting Attendance Grant” to two EMTS members who demonstrated section-specific participation in the upcoming 2013 MLA Annual Meeting. This grant is offered to encourage participation in section-sponsored programs and in the overall MLA Annual Meeting. Brandi Tuttle (Secretary/Treasurer) organized the effort and review, and Brandi, Jim Brucker (Chair) and new member Nandita Mani reviewed the three applications, scored them against a rubric, and decided on the two awardees. Awards will be distributed during the 2013 EMTS Business Meeting.

Also, EMTS will release a membership survey in April 2013. This survey will mirror a survey from MIS. There is a considerable degree of overlapping membership between the two sections, and they will share survey results with each other later in 2013 in order to foster greater cross-section synergy.

 

Goal 4: Creating and Communicating our Knowledge

Objective: Create a Useful Technologies platform to share compiled information with the entire EMTS membership.

Results and Summary:
The Useful Technologies information was located as a stand-alone document, but not updated. This will be a central discussion topic during the 2013 EMTS Business Meeting, with the goal of finding a leadership volunteer to carry the effort forward into the 2013-14 term.

 

Objective: Update and redesign the EMTS website to give it a fresh, new look.

Results and Summary:
Brandi Tuttle (EMTS webmaster) and Wayne Loftus continued their work on the redesign, and Brandi maintained the current EMTS website simultaneously. Brandi will continue to serve as the EMTS webmaster during 2013-14, and will work with Wayne to complete the redesign and migrate the section to the new website.

 

Goal 5: Building a Network of Partners

Objective: Encourage a continuous flow of communication through a variety of channels. Avoid “dead air” on both the email list and the Facebook group.

Results and Summary:
Amy Blevins (Communications Coordinator) and Dale Prince worked throughout the 2012-13 term to keep the EMTS Facebook group vibrant and topical. Other EMTS members contributed to the email list, and Amy also maintained the section blog. The Facebook group seemed to be the steadiest mode of communication and section-member connection.

2012-13 EMTS Officers
Chair: Jim Brucker
Chair-Elect: Sheila Snow-Croft
Section Council Representative: J. Dale Prince
Secretary/Treasurer: Brandi Tuttle
Communications Coordinator: Amy Blevins
Membership Chair: Jeanne Burke
Website Editor: Brandi Tuttle
Chair, Bylaws Committee: Dave Piper
Chair, EMTS Nominating Committee: J. Dale Prince
Chair, CE: Ryan Harris

If you have questions or comments about those items, go ahead and post them to the email list, or comments via Facebook or the EMTS blog (particularly if you want to contribute to the discussion, but will not be in Boston). Otherwise, I really want everyone to bring their opinions and ideas to this meeting, as I’m relying on all of you to help set some direction for our section.

EMTS Business Meeting Agenda (5/7/2013, 4:30-6pm @ Hynes Convention Center room 203)

EMTS 2013 Elections

Posted on January 16, 2013 by Amy Blevins

This year, Chair-Elect, Secretary/Treasurer, and EMTS Nominee to the MLA Nominating Committee are up for election. The EMTS Nominating Committee will be sending electronic ballots to the EMTS membership by January 25, 2013. Following are the positions and bios of the candidates for those positions.

Chair-Elect

Molly Knapp

Maureen “Molly” Knapp is a Research Support and Education Librarian at the Rudolph Matas Library of the Health Sciences at Tulane University in New Orleans, Louisiana. A librarian with over a decade of experience, she received her master of library and information science degree from the University of South Florida (Tampa) in 2002. Ms. Knapp is a Senior Member of the Medical Library Association’s Academy of Health Information Professionals, and a 2010 NLM Fellow in Medical Informatics at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, MA. An enthusiastic pedagogue, Ms. Knapp received the 2012 Librarian of the Year award from the South Central Chapter of MLA for her work on the online class ‘Get Mobilized: an introduction to mobile resources and tools in health sciences libraries.’ Her research interests include digital projects in health sciences libraries and online education.

Marie Ascher

Marie Ascher is currently the Associate Director for User Support, Education, and Research (USER) Services at the New York Medical College Health Sciences Library (HSL) in Valhalla, NY, a position she was promoted to in 2010 after working as the Head of Reference & Information Services since 2001. Prior professional positions were at The New York Academy of Medicine (NYAM) and Hunter College Health Professions Library in New York City. Notable professional achievements and interests include the development of several community based information outreach projects in East Harlem, serving as the founding editor of the NYAM’s Grey Literature Report, establishing a social media presence for the HSL, leading a team in the development, implementation and evaluation of local information management competencies, usability testing, training in evidence based health care, and technologies for distance learning and service. Service to MLA includes chairing the Core Public Health Journals project, serving on the Research Agenda Committee, serving as the Allied Representative to the Public Health Partners, and serving on the Health Information Literacy Task Force. Marie has previously served as Chair of the Public Health/Health Administration Section as well as the New York-New Jersey Chapter of MLA. She lives with her 8-year-old twin daughters and a vizsla, two turtles and two fish, and likes a good sandwich.

Secretary/Treasurer

Jin Wu

Jin Wu has been the Emerging Technologies Librarian at the Norris Medical Library at the University of Southern California since April 2010. She has been instrumental in fostering the use of new technologies by both library staff as well as library users.  She also has been involved in a national survey of student use of technology, revitalizing the library’s tutorials, and re-designing the library’s web site.  She also currently serves as chair of the Health Sciences Libraries Emerging Technologies Committee and Web Committee.

Amy Blevins

Amy Blevins is one of the Clinical Education Librarians  at Hardin Library for the Health Sciences at the University of Iowa. She has had the great pleasure of being a member of EMTS since 2006. At the 2007 meeting, she volunteered to help out with the Nominations Committee, which led to being elected as the chair-elect in the 2008 election. Since then, she’s served as Chair, Section Council Representative, and most recently as the Communications Coordinator (a new position designed to leverage the blog, list serv and Facebook pages).  She is no stranger to taking notes in meetings, and feels that leading the Section Shuffle task force last year has given her a bit of experience with budget planning. Having served on the board for the last few years, she is familiar with the yearly expenses that the section is likely to encounter.  She looks forward to serving the section in a new capacity as the Secretary/Treasurer.

EMTS Nominee to the MLA Nominating Committee

Patricia Devine

Patricia Devine is the Network Outreach Coordinator for the NN/LM, Pacific Northwest Region in Seattle, Washington. She coordinates the membership program and provides health information outreach to health care professionals and healthcare consumer groups. Her professional interests include health information literacy and healthcare disparities, and she is the convener of the newly formed Health Disparities SIG. Pat received her MLS from the University of Washington.

Letter from the Chair

Posted on May 11, 2012 by EMTS

My year as chair is winding down, and while I can’t say that I would want a whole additional year as chair—I’d make fewer mistakes and would know the timeline of when things should be done a little better—I can say that the year has been very rewarding. The EMTS Board is the most active, supportive, and responsive group of people I’ve worked with since becoming active in MLA. I want to thank them all for making the year far less uncertain than it could have been. For a change, I did not feel that filling out an Annual Report was a paean to the art of misdirection; I honestly feel that EMTS is an effective and active section that makes a difference in its member’s lives. And, if this is not true, then the EMTS board is truly interested in making appropriate changes.

I’d especially like to thank Jim Brucker (Chair-elect) for his hard work on the 2012 program (http://emts.mlanet.org/blog/?p=69) and Amy Blevins (Past-Chair) for her gentle nudges and always prompt responses to my inquiries about what I should be doing next. I also want to thank those who volunteered to run for office and those who accepted appointments without (much) complaint. Without you, EMTS would grind to a halt.

2011-2012 was a busy time for EMTS. We, like other sections, had to respond to the programming needs of the 2013 joint meeting in Boston. Fortunately, Jeanne Burke and Emily Hurst stepped to the fore, volunteering for programming planning, a duty that has traditionally fallen to someone else, but the accelerated planning for that meeting precluded the possibility of assigning it to a Chair-Elect. That position would not be filled for another 6 or 7 months after program planning began. For this reason, we had two program planning threads going at once. For the 2013-2014 period (and thereafter), we are taking a more proactive stance on MLA educational opportunities and have appointed Ryan Harris as CE Chair who will work with the MLA Continuing Education Committee to ensure that the educational needs of EMTS members is met. (Other 2011-2012 accomplishments may be found in the Annual Report: (http://emts.mlanet.org/business/reports/annual/annual1112.pdf))

EMTS also polled its membership to see how they would like to see money in the EMTS treasury being spent. In addition to our usual expenditure, EMTS will be giving a $125 travel stipend to EMTS officers attending the Annual Business Meeting and will be giving $25 thank you gift to those who moderate EMTS-led programs at the annual meeting. Neither of these outlays will have much of an effect upon the EMTS treasury.

In closing, I’d like to invite all of you to the EMTS Business Meeting at MLA Annual on 20 May 2012, Rm 204 of the Conference Center from 3:30 to 4:30PM. We will welcome people to their new roles (chair, chair-elect, and CE chair), give an overview of the past year, discuss what we will do in the next year, and have snacks. I will also have a list of current members so that appointments may be made in absentia, so keep that in mind.

EMTS Programming at MLA 2012 Annual Meeting

Posted on April 16, 2012 by EMTS

This year, EMTS is lead-sponsoring two programs at the MLA Annual Meeting in Seattle, and co-sponsoring two others.  All of these programming topics are direct responses to a 2011 EMTS membership survey, and the paper topics were selected through a blind peer review process.

  • Transcending personal stats: Leveraging peer review to improve teaching and redesign interactive class content
  • Bringing New Methods into Library Instruction: A Case Study in Team Based Learning
  • Assessing the FACTTS: An Evidence-Based Medicine and Critical Appraisal Course for Medical Students




Loading the bases: Teaching with technology and multimedia (EMTS-lead sponsor, Tuesday 5/22 2-3:30pm) focuses on the incorporation of technology and multimedia with on-site and distance education efforts. Topics include:

  • Windup and the Pitch: Delivering Instruction Using Videos
  • Cracker jack instruction: creating, implementing and managing a no-budget online continuing education course
  • Blended learning in action: Custom designing an extensible online tutorial to enhance interactive classroom content in a Medical Decision Making course
  • Presentation Excellence: Moving Beyond Powerpoint




Finally, EMTS is again co-sponsoring the popular Tech Trends session on Tuesday 5/22 6-7:30pm, featuring a panel review of current topics in cutting-edge technology and media, and how they impact our profession. This will include the following presenters:

Fatima Mncube-Barnes (Meharry Medical College), Gabriel Rios (University of Alabama at Birmingham), Kimberley Barker (Claude Moore Health Sciences Library, University of Virginia), Michelle Frisque (Galter Health Sciences Library, Northwestern University), Emily Hurst (National Network of Libraries of Medicine, South Central Region), Eric Schnell (Prior Health Sciences Library, Ohio State University).

2012 EMTS Candidates

Posted on January 4, 2012 by EMTS

Hi everyone! We have four EMTS members running for two positions (EMTS Chair-Elect and MLA Nominating Committee Nominee) in 2012. Here is a bio or personal statement for each candidate.

Running for MLA Nominating Committee Nominee:

Wayne Loftus
Web Services Coordinator
Health Sciences Libraries of the University of Minnesota

Wayne Loftus is the Web Services Coordinator for the Health Sciences Libraries of the University of Minnesota, a position he has held for five years. He has previously worked at both the Southwest Foundation for Biomedical Research in San Antonio, Texas (recently renamed the Texas Biomedical Research Institute) and the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. Throughout his career, he has blended a mix of public service and technical responsibilities, working simultaneously as both a liaison librarian and a web developer. He has been active in MLA, at the national- and chapter-level, for many years; he recently completed service on the National Program Committee for MLA 2011 and is currently serving as a member of MLA’s Technology Advisory Committee. His interests lie primarily in the application of technology in the provision of library education.

Gale G. Hannigan
Visiting Professor, Biomedical Informatics and Special Projects Librarian
University of New Mexico Health Sciences Library & Informatics Center

I have been employed as a medical librarian for 34 years including at the Houston Academy of Medicine/Texas Medical Center, the University of Minnesota Bio-Medical Library, the Upjohn Company, and Texas A&M Medical Sciences Library. I hold an MLS, MPH, and a PhD (Information Science). Most of my career has been spent teaching the use of technology in medicine and public health. EMTS activities include: Treasurer, 1983-85; Chair Elect, 1985-86; Chair, 1986-87; Film Festival Coordinator, 1993; Section Council Alternate, 1987-89; Section Council Representative, 1991-93. I was a member of the MLA Nominating Committee in 2003. My husband and I recently moved to New Mexico and we are enjoying its natural beauty and culture.



Running for Chair-Elect:

Emily Hurst
Technology Coordinator
National Network of Libraries of Medicine, South Central Region
Texas Medical Center Library, Houston, TX.

My name is Emily Hurst and I am currently the Technology Coordinator at the National Network of Libraries of Medicine, South Central Region located at the Texas Medical Center Library in Houston, Texas. I have worked as the technology coordinator for the past two years. I previously worked at the UT Health Science Center in San Antonio Briscoe Library where I provided training on a variety of topics as an instructional services librarian. I enjoyed using new technologies in these classes to engage with students and enhance the learning experience. I graduated from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill School of Information and Library Science program in May 2008. While at UNC I worked as a graduate assistant at the Health Sciences Library. I am very active in MLA and enjoying bringing new ideas to the table. I think that as medical librarians we can learn a lot from one another, and I enjoy visiting other medical libraries and learning from other librarians. With EMTS I have been active in the section programming for the 2013 meeting. I have worked closely with other members of EMTS on planning and programming. I have represented EMTS as a moderator. When I am not being a medical librarian I am baking or bike riding. You can find me on Twitter @hurstej I like to share ideas and recipes.

Sheila L. Snow-Croft, MLIS, MA
Public Health Coordinator, National Network of Libraries of Medicine, Southeastern Atlantic Region
Health Sciences and Human Services Library, University of Maryland

I have been with the NN/LM SE/A since August 2004, first as Outreach Education Coordinator and currently as Public Health Coordinator. I provide education and training, exhibit, and manage subcontracts and awards provided by the NN/LM SE/A throughout a 13 state and territory region that represents 24% of the nation’s health professionals. I received my MLIS at the University of Alabama in 2002, am an active member of both Southern and Middle Atlantic Chapters of MLA, and have been an active member of EMTS since 2007. I served on the EMTS Highly Recommended Software Wiki Project and am currently on the EMTS Nominating Committee. My interest in educational media and technology truly took off when I began teaching online using WebCT for Virginia College at Birmingham after finishing my MA in English in 1996; my decision to enter the field of health sciences librarianship was based in part on the field’s focus on technology and the recognition of its importance in successfully meeting information needs. I attended the first MLA Institute for Distance Education, learned Moodle and put the SE/A’s first two classes online, and continue to teach via several different types of distance education software. Along with my rabid collection of mobile devices and love of social networking, I stay on top of software such as Adobe Connect and host regional webinars along with traveling throughout the SE/A region providing an average of over 50 classes per year.

MLA 2009 posters available online

Posted on May 22, 2009 by MelissaD

If you weren’t able to attend the MLA meeting (or even if you did attend the MLA meeting!) you might be interested to know that many of the posters from the meeting are available online at: http://posterexperience.com/index.php
 

MLA is pilot-testing this new online application that allows people to easily search, pan across, and zoom in on any of the posters that are on MLANET.  Additionally, authors have the option to add media such as video, interactive data graphics, and animations to their poster.
 

Please note that while this option was given to all poster presenters, not all poster authors submitted their posters.  But there are a lot of posters there so check it out!
 

Also, since MLA is pilot-testing this software be sure to let MLA know what you think of it.  You can use the Feedback link on the webpage, or give your feedback to me.
 

Thanks,
- Melissa
