The final decision on program speakers rests with the program planners. 1 of 138 Sunday, May 20, 2018, 3:00 PM – 4:25 PM Room: Embassy F (International Tower, Exhibit Level) Session: Instruction and Instructional Design 1 (ID-1) Moderator: Claire B. Joseph, AHIP Adaptations in Global Health Education: Reinventing a Course Collaboration through a Global Data Lens Gurpreet K. Rana Global Health Coordinator, Taubman Health Sciences Library, Ann Arbor, Michigan Laura S. Rozek Associate Professor, Environmental Health Sciences, School of Public Health, Ann Arbor, Michigan Objectives: In fall 2017, Taubman Health Sciences Library's Global Health Coordinator and a School of Public Health faculty member at University of Michigan collaborated together to reinvent a global health course. The re- designed course focused on building students’ skills in using open data to interpret challenges and solutions in global health. Students integrated data visualization tools, open data and infographics in case-based instruction. Methods: Syllabus and course objectives for a long standing global public health course were revisited and redesigned in consultation with an instructional assessment expert. Strategies included increasing student interactivity, case-based instruction, and identifying focused specialists as guest lecturers. The instructors developed the course be more data-driven to illustrate the impact of data analysis in global public health, focusing on application of open global development data and open data visualization tools. Course highlights included use of data visualizations to identify health inequities, use of data sources to understand the Global Burden of Disease, and the impact of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in global development and investigation of infographics in public health promotion and communication. Students were required to develop global health case studies in an SDG framework as their final capstone projects. Keywords: global health, instruction, public health, course-integration, data management, disparities, collaboration 2 of 138 Adapting Best Practice for Education: Reinventing a Biomedical Informatics Course Kathy J. Davies Associate Director for Research, Robert B. Greenblatt MD Library, Augusta, Georgia Brenda Seago Professor and Director of Libraries, Augusta University, Augusta, Georgia Virginia (Ginny) Durham Project Manager, Augusta University, Reese Library, Augusta, Georgia Ashley Cullum Instructional Design Manager, Information Technology, Augusta, Georgia Objectives: To create an innovative course to teach the principles of biomedical informatics to health professionals, educators, and librarians to build a cohort of change agents and leaders. Methods: An academic medical center library developed a proposal for an intensive training in response to a National Library of Medicine (NLM) initiative to expand biomedical informatics instruction. The proposal recommended a hybrid approach to include both online course modules and face to face instruction. The course would be taught in a resort setting to facilitate participant interaction. A key component was integrating instructional technology including lecture capture, electronic white board, audience response system, and course software. The course was awarded funding and course planning finalized with NLM. Course curriculum was a survey of key topics including genomics, imaging, NLM resources, public health, mathematical modeling, and data management. Information Technology and Continuing Education (CE) provided instructional technology and CE credit for the multidisciplinary audience. Faculty were evaluated on subject knowledge and teaching skills; feedback was incorporated into subsequent courses. Results: Multiple course sessions were taught to 207 health professionals, librarians, or informationists selected from a nation-wide pool. The 77 librarian participants represented 28 states, District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. The university team was successful in creating a course that integrates health care leaders’ expertise with online technology. The university team emphasized best practices for interactive education and incorporated a problem- based activity during their invited evening session. A library faculty member was invited to teach the NLM resources session and has partnered to teach a hands on sessions searching genomics and informatics databases. Conclusions: Course participants experienced high career impact and expanded their biomedical informatics knowledge based on course evaluations, reusing course content, course webinars and informal feedback. Armed with the knowledge, tools, skills, and a supportive network, participants left the Biomedical Informatics Course ready to be successful agents of change within their institutions. Keywords: Biomedical informatics, online education, instructional technology, course development Adapting a New Model for Library Orientation: The Clinical Case Presentation Nancy A. Bianchi Health Sciences Librarian, University of Vermont, Burlington, Vermont 3 of 138 Gary S. Atwood Research and Instruction Librarian, University of Vermont, Dana Medical Library, Burlington, Vermont Objectives: This presentation describes how a liaison librarian adapted the clinical case presentation format in medicine to a library orientation for new pediatric residents. Methods: An introduction to the medical library has been a long-standing educational activity for new residents at the medical center. In the past, this orientation consisted primarily of a passive lecture and library tour. Currently, medical librarians are attempting to reduce the amount of lecture content in their own presentations in an effort to support an initiative by medical education to eliminate lectures from its curriculum by 2019. As a part of this effort, the library orientation for new pediatric residents underwent a complete redesign in 2016. The centerpiece of this redesign was the idea of adapting the familiar clinical case presentation model in medicine to a library orientation. This presentation describes an interactive case presentation about a pediatrics resident with a clinical information need, and the library resources and services relevant to that need. Results: Nearly 40 pediatrics residents and medical students have participated in the transformed library orientation since 2016. In addition, the chief residents have played integral roles in promoting this library activity by serving as scribes for the case presentations and by continuing to incorporate discussion of library resources and services at educational conferences beyond the library orientation. Results from completed library evaluations in 2017 also spoke of the unexpected success of this adapted activity. 100% of the returned evaluations rated the library orientation as “Excellent” or “Very Good”. Comments included “Engaging example”, “Very Effective” and “Crucial talk especially for med students”. Conclusions: The success of this adaptation should give librarians the motivation and encouragement to explore teaching formats in their liaison areas, and to adapt those models to library education and orientation activities, just as we did with the clinical case presentation format in a pediatrics residency program. Keywords: Library Orientation; Clinical Case Presentation; Medical Education; Residents; Information Need Adapting to the Real World: Transforming Nursing Information Literacy Education in Four Intermountain West Universities Nena Schvaneveldt, AHIP Assistant Director of Library Services, Reference and Instruction Librarian, University Library, South Jordan, Utah Anne R. Diekema Assistant Professor / Librarian, Gerald R. Sherratt Library, Cedar City, Utah Elizabeth (Betsy) S. Hopkins Nursing and Communication Disorders Librarian, Harold B. Lee Library, Provo, Utah Brandon Patterson Technology Engagement Librarian, Spencer S. Eccles Health Sciences Library, Salt Lake City, Utah Objectives: This study aimed to connect information literacy instruction more directly to nursing practice by surveying current information practices of professional nurses. While research examining the information practices of nurses exists, there is little connection to information literacy instruction. The researchers plan to modify existing nursing information literacy instruction based on study results. Methods: We surveyed recent nursing alumni of four baccalaureate nursing education programs based in the Intermountain West. The questions of the detailed 59-item survey addressed five main areas: demographics 4 of 138 and current employment situation; information needs; information sources; Information environment at workplace; barriers to finding accessing, and evaluating information; and education & instruction. Within these five areas, survey questions covered a variety of information-seeking behaviors, including which resources are used, how often, and for what application in a clinical setting. Questions also determined nurses’ comfort level and confidence with a variety of resources and information problem solving tasks. Finally, the survey asked nurses where they learned their information-seeking skills and dispositions, and how their nursing

  • ABSTRACT the Language of Dissent: the Defense of Eighteenth
    ABSTRACT The Language of Dissent: The Defense of Eighteenth-Century English Dissent in the Works and Sermons of James Peirce Bracy V. Hill II, Ph.D. Chairperson: William L. Pitts, Jr., Ph.D. This biographical dissertation argues that the thought of James Peirce (1674- 1726), the Presbyterian minister whose controversial theology was the catalyst for the division of Dissent in 1719, must be considered in relation to his hermeneutic of history. For Peirce, history was the telling of truth or events, but an inherently rhetorical recounting, fashioned by the historian to express the “sense” of the “original” in the language necessary to convince the audience. In this way, history proved to be malleable and increasingly corrupted the more it was distanced from the original. Peirce’s understanding of the past was linked closely to his identification of the authority and proper explication of Scripture, the integral interpretive role of reason, and the definition of the Dissenting community. In his early career, Peirce applied his theory of history to the classics and the traditions of the Church—both being subject to the sullying emendations of human invention. Late in his life, however, Peirce was convinced that this same hermeneutic of history was applicable to Scripture, which he previously considered inviolate. Despite the assertions of friends and antagonists, Peirce did not ‘convert’, but rather he logically followed his earlier commitment to a traditional hermeneutic of history. This thesis asserts that although James Peirce was primarily a polemicist, he was also a Nonconformist historian who posited definitions of Christianity and Dissent which evolved with his changing ideas.

  • CI Breaks Ground for Sierra Hall Page 17
    CHANNEL CSU Channel Islands Magazine • Spring 2014 / Volume 18 / Number 1 CI breaks ground for Sierra Hall Page 17 Channel | President’s Message Looking to the Future Another academic year successfully has ended and I am extremely proud of this year’s 1,600 graduates prepared with their credentials, bachelor's and master’s degrees to take on the world. The energy and enthusiasm displayed by our newest alums at our recent Commencement ceremonies was electric! Our graduates invested long hours alongside faculty and mentors as they studied, performed research and shared their knowledge with one another, in order to fulfill their dreams of receiving an excellent education and beginning the next chapter of their lives. Similarly, the University also looks to the future as we plan for the next generation of students who will attend CI. With less state funding and increasing demand for qualified workers in California, we need to look at innovative ways to provide for students and to accomplish the magic of learning. We need to innovate to serve prospective students—including underserved populations —and enable our outstanding faculty to continue doing what they do best in teaching, research and hands-on academic experiences. We have entered an agreement with advisory firm Jones Lang LaSalle to apply their extensive expertise assessing CI’s current state. Their knowledge and experience will inform the development of a creative plan to leverage existing assets, enabling the University to add programs and facilities in concert with the growth of the campus. They will study campus demand for facilities, evaluate alternative financial structures, identify opportunities for partnerships, and recommend new funding opportunities to finance development components.

    Working at the interface between the art and science of breastfeeding: A qualitative study of International Board Certified Lactation Consultants’ experiences. Sarah Jane Brown A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of Bournemouth University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy September 2012 Bournemouth University This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with its author and due acknowledgment must always be made of the use of any material contained in, or derived from, this thesis. 2 Sarah Jane Brown: Working at the interface between the art and science of breastfeeding: A qualitative study of International Board Certified Lactation Consultants’ experiences. Abstract Since 1985 a specialist breastfeeding practitioner, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), has been in existence. European and global recommendations propose that IBCLCs are employed within health services to support breastfeeding initiatives, however, the research- based evidence is restricted and did not include any description of the experiences of practitioners. The aim of this study was to describe the experiences of IBCLCs in England and in the process understand some of the enablers and barriers of their role. Data was collected through narrative accounts from twelve IBCLCs who worked in the north of England. The first interview asked practitioners to narrate accounts of how they became and practiced as IBCLCs and the second interview, six months later, sought further elucidation on topics that were found to be common experiences to all practitioners. The narrative accounts were analysed through a social constructionist framework where descriptions were drawn into categories, then themes.
