Emerging Technologies for The Busy Librarian

This face-to-face course is designed to give the busy librarian an overview of emerged and emerging technologies impacting our profession. It is a survey course that will cover a variety of technology topics. Topics discussed will be updated until the month prior to the teaching of course but could include: makerspaces, augmented reality, wearable technology, fitness apps, the Internet of Things, library mobile apps, privacy, ambient intelligence, virtual reality, and collaboration tools. Students, health professionals, and consumers use technologies to interact with health information daily. It is essential for librarians to investigate and experiment with these technologies to improve access to timely and relevant quality health information.

Educational Objectives:

At the end of this activity, participants should be able to:

• Identify and discuss emerged and emerging technologies with potential to impact our profession
• Review technology trends with an emphasis how to keep up to date
• Discuss mobile apps popular in library environments Identify technologies that can be employed in a hospital library or other potentially restrictive networks
• Review privacy issues within a digital ecosystem
• Apply case studies and recommendations for supporting emerged and emerging technologies at home institution

Gabe Rios is the director of the Ruth Lilly Medical Library, Indiana University School of Medicine. Gabe has worked with emerging technologies since the late 90s (remember the PDA?).  He has taught technology-related classes at state, regional, and national meetings over the past 16 years. Gabe has also served as a member of national and local technology groups for the Medical Library Association as well as community-based groups. Gabe is a devoted user of technology and has a keen interest in technology trends and their impact on health and medicine. In his role as library director, Gabe continues his support of emerging technologies by facilitating the use of technology to meet users where they are.

Introduction to Systematic Reviews for Librarians

Download Powerpont Slides and Handouts

This course will present what the current state of systematic reviews methods is, how systematic reviews are different from other types of reviews, and what their potential applications are. Activities and discussions will cover how to conduct a reference interview, determine feasibility of a research question, build search strategies, and report methods specific to systematic reviews.

Susan A. Fowler, MLIS, is the Library Director at Washington University (in St. Louis) Brown School: Social Work and Public Health. Her current interests include creating reporting standards for systematic review search strategies and finding a pragmatic solution for search strategy peer review. Susan designed the first library-based systematic review service at Washington University, trained librarian colleagues in systematic review search design, and integrated the library service into the Institute of Public Health’s Systematic Review and Meta-analyses yearly course.

Thursday Afternoon Session

Infographics: Communicating Information Visually - NNLM Webinar Recording

Presenter: Rose Turner, Research & Instruction Librarian, University of Pittsburgh Health Sciences Library System, 1 hour

Learn to make your raw data more appealing and consumable with infographics. In this class, you'll learn what infographics are and how they can make data easier to understand and share. Finally, we’ll wrap up by demonstrating an online resource (Piktochart) so you’ll be ready to create your own infographics. No MLA credit.

Sarah Isaacs from the Illinois Early Intervention Clearinghouse will facilitate a discussion of infographics after the class.

Registration is Closed

Providing Ethical Services in Changing Times

Librarians and other information professionals have long relied on codes of ethics and other guidelines for providing ethical services to all.   In a time of rapid political, social, and technological change, do these codes still make sense?  How should they be interpreted during a time of radical change?  Is it time to update them?  

Emily Knox is an assistant professor in the School of Information Sciences at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Her research interests include information access, intellectual freedom and censorship, information ethics, information policy, and the intersection of print culture and reading practices. She is also a member of the Mapping Information Access research team. Emily recently edited Trigger Warnings: History, Theory Context, published by Rowman & Littlefield. Emily’s book, Book Banning in 21st Century America, was also published by Rowman & Littlefield and is the first monograph in the Beta Phi Mu Scholars’ Series. Emily received her Ph.D. from the doctoral program at the Rutgers University School of Communication & Information. Her master’s in library and information science is from the iSchool at Illinois. She also holds a B.A. in Religious Studies from Smith College and an A.M. in the same field from The University of Chicago Divinity School. Emily serves on the boards of the Association for Information Science & Technology,Freedom to Read Foundation and the National Coalition Against Censorship.

 

Is it Science or Magic?

In this event, we will probe some chemical and biochemical experiments that can have the perception of ‘magic’ but can be explained using our experience and knowledge of the materials used. I will do some demonstrations of physical and chemical properties of common materials (often obtained from stores) as well as materials from biological sources. For example, what do baker’s yeast and potassium iodine have in common? How can we measure the amount of vitamin C in oranges? We will do a few hands on experiments because science is not a spectator sport.

Marge Jones is a professor of chemistry at Illinois State University. She has 111 publications and 3 book chapters with the most recent entitled “Antioxidant capacity, immune response, anti-inflammatory activity, and potential pharmaceutical applications of by-products” in Handbook of Coffee Processing By-products: Sustainable Applications. Professor Jones's lab studies the parasitic protozoan, Leishmania, which leads to diseases in over 80 countries worldwide. The lab works to better understand the biochemistry of these parasites and is testing unique molecules that can be used as new therapeutic directions.
