Your Online Professional Identity – Using Professional Profile Systems to Your Best Advantage

 

1:00pm -3:00pm | no MLA CE credit

One's online scholarly presence can be critical for work and scholarship, however it is also time consuming and sometimes we are not fully aware about how we are represented on the Internet. In this workshop participants will learn about options for managing one's online identity using tools such as Academia.edu, ResearchGate, Google Scholar, ORCID and more. We will share strategies that can help you make decisions about which tools will best fit your needs and workflow. Not only will this be useful for one's own work and scholarship, it will be useful for those who support other professionals engaged in research and scholarship.

Gwen Wilson is the Health Informatics Coordinator/Librarian at Washburn University in Topeka, KS. She received her Master of Library Science from Emporia State University in 2012. I have been an active member of MCMLA since 2012 and a member of MLA since 2014. I am currently serving MCMLA as the Immediate Past Chair. Previously I have served as Chair of MCMLA, MLA Credentialing Liaison, and chair of the Education Committee. My passion for medical librarianship began when I was hired as a Graduate Teaching Assistant in a Nursing Library. I love the challenges of being a health sciences librarian and how I never know what research question a student/faculty will ask. Today my research interests' focus on the role information literacy has in Evidence-Based Practice, the role of librarians in inter-professional education and the challenge of reporting meaningful metrics in relation to research impact.

Dissemination in Action: Communicating Research in a Digital World

8:00am - Noon | 4 MLA CE credit

Attendees of the course should have a laptop computer (or one to share, if two people want to pair up) and access to Wifi. No photocopies of materials are needed. All necessary materials and slides will be made available to all attendees through Google Drive during the course.

Increasingly, librarians are involved in tracking research dissemination and impact. The instructors will provide a solid background on dissemination and demonstrate the practical applications of a variety of tools. We will equip participants with the knowledge to help their patrons create better dissemination strategies and inspire compelling impact statements. Join us for this dynamic learning opportunity, which will include lecture, demonstrations, and large and small group activities.

The session will include:  

• Exploring social media platforms commonly used to disseminate research 
• Writing plain language summaries of research
• Exploring tools that track alternative metrics 
• Identifying institutional and open repositories, and the importance of archiving outputs 
• Optimizing outputs for discoverability by search engines 
• Crafting research impact statements 

Karen Gutzman is the Impact and Evaluation Librarian at Galter Health Sciences Library where she works with the Metrics and Impact Core. Her responsibilities are to support individuals and groups in their understanding, assessment, visualization, and reporting of impactful outcomes of research and clinical care efforts.

Thirsting for Knowledge: Opportunities for Librarians in the Age of Data

Kristi Holmes, PhD is the Director of Galter Health Sciences Library & Learning Center, Director of Evaluation for Northwestern University Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute (NUCATS), and Associate Professor of Preventive Medicine (Health and Biomedical Informatics) and Medical Education at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. She supports the library's strong mission to advance leading-edge patient care, research, and education through integrated partnerships, dedicated services and resources, and a deep commitment to innovation and excellence. She and her team have built operationalized workflows for the library and beyond, including a robust evaluation infrastructure for the campus built on a foundation of informatics and data, that supports several NIH-funded programs as well as a range of local needs. She is enthusiastic about the cultural and technological changes necessary for data and informatics to improve research and health care – and the role that libraries can play to help make this happen. In her talk, “Thirsting for Knowledge: Opportunities for Librarians in the Age of Data,” Holmes will discuss intersections between libraries and data and offer a range of practical ideas that align with the core mission of the library.
