Medical Library Association MLA '20 Poster Abstracts MLA ’20 Poster Abstracts Medical Library Association MLA ’20 Poster Abstracts Abstracts for the poster sessions are reviewed by members of the Medical Library Association National Program Committee (NPC), and designated NPC members make the final selection of posters to be presented at the annual meeting. 1 MLA ’20 Poster Abstracts Poster Number: 1 Time: Friday, July 24, 10:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m. Developing an Evidence-Based Practice Tool in Accord with the Next-Generation Search Interfaces Vivian Chiang, Student, EMBA of National Chengchi University Background: In response to the demand of 2-year Post Graduate Year Training, which was established for the first new graduate of medical schools in XXX, for the implementation of EBP and Shared Decision Making, as well as the trend of cultivating nurse practitioners to carry out EBP, the medical libraries in XXX provide evidence-based literature retrieval skill training. However, most of the interface provided by the database is Google-like, which is different from the PICO framework. Therefore, this project hopes to create a tool to use the PICO framework to retrieve the most precise literature without having the advance research skill. Description: The concept of interface design is based on PICO framework. With the function of mapping with medical subject heading, it helps users to increase the correctness of search strategy and also revised search strategy simultaneously. In addition, in order to meet the clinical needs, the clinical cases related elements such as age, gender, pregnancy, etc. are also provided in the literature filters; the conditions for selecting evidence-based literature are also provided, such as clinical queries, publication types, language, etc. All the search results will display after data deduping which also help users to do precious search strategy and retrieve data which are all evidence-based supported. According to the feedback from users, the integration workflow of EBP is easy to retrieve more clinical r literature and the usage of the database is increased by 48% in 2 years. Conclusion: A medical center promoted this tool to medical staff through education and training in 2019. It was found that this tool helps to increase the efficiency of clinical related data retrieval with less time spending under the structure search interface design for PICO learning purposes. This tool also enhances the ability to understand and analyze clinical problems by simulating PICO framework and term mapping to MeSH. The implementation of this tool allows medical librarians to help hospital implement EBP in a more critical role in clinical practice. 2 MLA ’20 Poster Abstracts Poster Number: 2 Time: Friday, July 24, 10:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m. Family Medicine Clinic and Librarian Collaboration to Improve Patient Access to MyChart and Reduce Inappropriate Polypharmacy William Olmstadt, AHIP, Executive Director, Health Sciences Library, Health Sciences Library, Shreveport, LA; Kabiul Haque, Resident physician, Family Medicine, Ochsner LSU Health Shreveport, LA, Shreveport, LA; Marc Chaudoir Objectives: National surveys report the prevalence of polypharmacy in the U.S. is 15%. Inappropriate polypharmacy is preventable. Left unchecked, it increases risks for falls and fatal complications. This study explored if increased patient use of an online portal reduced unnecessary polypharmacy. Methods: Authors conducted the study in fall 2019 in a family medicine clinic at a public medical school in the southern United States. Of the 12,000 clinic visits per year, 60% of patients use Medicaid and 70% are African American. The institutional review board declared the study exempt. During clinic visits, 65 patients not already using MyChart expressed interest in learning more about it. Of those 65, 40 randomly-chosen patients, ages 30-65, received 30 minute MyChart overviews with clinic staff, including written instructions about the sign-up process. Follow-up interviews, conducted a week later after phone and letter reminders, asked if patients had reviewed their medications in MyChart, and probed for barriers to using it. Data coding and analysis were completed by 2 physicians, one who was the patient’s provider and one who was not. Both met to resolve coding differences. Results: All 40 patients completed the follow-up interview. 33 patients completed MyChart sign up and reviewed their medications with the physician. Of those 33, 5 had unnecessary prescriptions, and for 2 of those 5, the potential drug interactions were serious. The top three barriers to MyChart use were lack of knowledge about MyChart and its features, lack of computer or smartphone access, and lack of Internet access. Conclusions: Although limited to one clinic, the study demonstrated a brief, in-person explanation of patient portal use could reduce polypharmacy. 3 MLA ’20 Poster Abstracts Poster Number: 3 Time: Friday, July 24, 10:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m. Focus on Nursing Point-of-Care Tools: Developing Criteria for an Evaluation Rubric Emily M. Johnson-Barlow, AHIP, Associate Professor & Regional Health Sciences Librarian, Library of the Health Sciences- Peoria, University of Illinois at Chicago, Peoria, IL; Annie Nickum, AHIP, Information Services and Liaison Librarian, University of Illinois-Chicago, Chicago, IL; Rebecca Raszewski, AHIP, Associate Professor & Information Services & Liaison Librarian, University of Illinois at Chicago, Chicago, IL; Ryan Rafferty, Visiting Instructor & Regional Health Sciences Librarian, University of Illinois at Chicago, Mahomet, IL Objectives: Registered nurses have unique practice needs and many resources are marketed to support their practice. Point-of-care tools provide evidence-based information on patient care and procedures at the time of need. This study aims to review five point-of-care tools based on their coverage, content, and transparency to support selection of a point-of-care tool for the registered nurse. Methods: Investigators selected five point-of-care tools cited in the literature: ClinicalKey for Nursing, DynaMed, Lippincott’s Advisor and Procedures, Nursing Reference Center Plus, and UpToDate. The investigators developed a rubric containing evaluation criteria based on these point- of-care tools’ content, coverage of nursing topics, transparency of the evidence, user perception, and customization of the tools for supporting nursing practice. Thirty-five identified classified nursing terminologies, NANDA (13), NIC (11), and NOC (11), were used to examine the breadth of coverage within each point-of-care tool. Four investigators independently extracted criteria using the rubric and reported descriptive statistics of the results. Results will inform the decision-making process of recommending a point-of-care tool for nurses at our academic medical center. Results: Lippincott had the highest coverage of diagnoses (NANDA) while ClinicalKey for Nursing had strong content focused on intervention (NIC) and outcomes (NOC). Nursing Reference Center Plus provided the most well-rounded coverage of terminology. DynaMed and UpToDate were more transparent with indicating conflict of interest but included little content on Core Measures (JCAHO) or cultural competencies compared to the nursing-specific point-of-care tools. Both UpToDate and DynaMed had lower coverage of nursing terminology and care processes. User perception was evaluated, however, the criteria was deemed to be influenced by our librarian expertise. Conclusions: None of the five tools successfully met all of the evaluated criteria. The rubric developed for this study highlights each tools’ strengths and weaknesses that can then be used to inform the decision-making process to select a point-of-care tool based on priorities and budget. Of the tools reviewed for this study, the investigators recommend utilizing two or more to provide comprehensive, evidence-based, patient care coverage and meet the diverse information needs of nurses. 4 MLA ’20 Poster Abstracts Poster Number: 4 Time: Friday, July 24, 10:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m. Focused Training for the Future of Embedded Librarianship: How to’s Kristy E. Steigerwalt, Head of Clinical Support, University of Missouri-Kansas City, Kansas City, MO; Marie A. Thompson, Dental Librarian, University of Missouri-Kansas City Dental Library, Kansas City, MO; Cynthia Flanagan, AHIP, Clinical Medical Librarian, University of Missouri -Kansas City, Kansas City, MO Background: In times of limited budgets many libraries are experiencing turnover and limited staffing. These circumstances necessitate established training protocols, which result in a targeted vision for and seamless transition into medical librarianship. Even the most established programs, like our Clinical Medical Librarian program at UMKC, can easily create or improve future training using a standardized template, like the one we have created. Description: Picture this: A seasoned librarian working in the field when…BAM-attrition. Suddenly there are new hires and job reallocations. How does training begin? How can we focus it more effectively? Have you been the seasoned librarian? The librarian in training? This poster will detail one library’s journey towards developing the necessary framework for designing medical librarian training materials at their institution. Aim: This presentation will chronicle one library’s journey from the absence of training materials to the utilization of a set protocol and template for training embedded medical librarians. Findings: Each library’s needs are nuanced, however, we will provide

  • The Role of an Academic Library in Research: Researchers’ Perspectives at a South African University of Technology
    http://sajlis.journals.ac.za 37 The role of an academic library in research: researchers’ perspectives at a South African University of Technology Genevieve Hart1 and Lynn Kleinveldt2 Department of Library and Information Science, University of the Western Cape [email protected]; [email protected] Received: 10 April 2011 Accepted: 5 May 2011 Academic libraries typically identify research support as a central pillar in their mission. But they need to examine how their mission statements relate to the perspectives of researchers themselves, especially in view of reported changes in researchers’ information seeking and sharing in the online environment. By means of a questionnaire survey of 102 full time academic staff at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology, the project examined how researchers use their institution’s library in their research and what their expectations are. For various historical reasons universities of technology lag behind in terms of their research output and in recent years CPUT has prioritised research. This is reflected in the virtual unanimity among the 102 respondents that research is essential to their job despite their heavy teaching loads. Overall, the study finds that most (over 65%) continue to rely on the library for access to print and electronic resources. It finds a heavy emphasis on the traditional functions of an academic library, such as resource and information management. A few gaps emerge between the delivery of library services and researchers’ desires. For example, very few attend the library’s scheduled database training workshops; yet most see database training as one of the library’s key contributions to research.

  • Observations on Scholarly Engagement in the 2008 Cataloging Hidden Special Collections and Archives Program
    Observations on Scholarly Engagement in the 2008 Cataloging Hidden Special Collections and Archives Program Council on Library and Information Resources March 2010 Introduction As defined by CLIR, the “Cataloging Hidden Special Collections and Archives” program aims to identify and catalog hidden special collections and archives of “potentially substantive intellectual value that are unknown and inaccessible to scholars.” By providing resources for cataloging key hidden collections and by facilitating the linking of online records, the program also aims “to construct a new research and teaching environment of national importance.” Inherent in the program’s design is a conviction that its success will depend on the ability of the library and archival communities not only to participate actively in the creation of this new environment by processing and cataloging hidden collections, but also by forging new connections with scholars. In a sense, the program is attempting to answer the call of scholars, such as Anthony Grafton, who have written of the pressing need “to bring librarians and scholars, planners and users together…to fashion what we now need … libraries that can regain their place as craft ateliers of scholarship….”1 The “Cataloging Hidden Special Collections and Archives” program is aiming ambitiously to help design, populate, and build these new “ateliers of scholarship,” hybrid physical and digital spaces requiring recalibrations of relationships between librarians, archivists, and scholars. Now entering its third grant cycle, the “Hidden Collections” program is continuing to provide a novel opportunity to observe and describe approaches to scholarly engagement as currently practiced within a diverse set of U.S. libraries and archives.
