S.; Mickelson, P.; Roth, L. H.Recent trends in medical education include a shift from the traditional, didactic, lecture-oriented approach to a more student-driven, problem-based approach to learning. This trend provides librarians with an opportunity to develop programs to teach information-gathering skills that support and are integrated into problem-based learning (PBL). In 1992, the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine implemented the initial phase of a curriculum revision that emphasizes PBL. Since that time, Falk Library of the Health Sciences has provided a large-scale, intensive program integrating information-seeking skills and activities into the first-year Patient-Doctor Relationship course, a sequence that initiates medical school. A multimodal approach to information seeking and sources is emphasized, utilizing print and audiovisual materials, computerized resources, and subject experts. The Falk Library program emphasizes the gathering and use of information as central to both PBL and student skills development. An informal, post-course evaluation was conducted to gauge which information resources were used and valued most by students. This article presents evaluation results, including data on the use of information sources and services, and student perceptions of the librarian's role in the PBL sessions.Publication Building on Success: Charting the Future of Knowledge Management Within the Academic Health Center(Association of Academic Health Sciences Libraries, 2003) Brewer, Karen; Hohman, J. Michael; Messerle, Judith; Yokote, GailThis report is a successor to a 1987 report entitled Challenge to Action: Planning and Evaluation Guidelines for Academic Health Sciences Libraries. The 1987 report was focused on the environment and needs of member libraries and was intended as a practical guide and checklist at a time of intense change in technology and the health care environment. The sea changes in technology, most notably the proliferation of the Web, and the ongoing changes in the health care environment that have occurred since the 1987 report prompted this new report and its accompanying Web site highlighting important AHC library successes and suggesting additional roles and strategic collaboration for the 21st century.Publication An Overview of Institutional Repositories(2005-02-04) Singarella, ThomasThe purpose of this AAHSL white paper is to present an overview of the issues related to establishing an institutional respository (IR), including the state of IRs today, what’s currently happening in higher education institutions, and where we appear to be heading (i.e., charting the future).Publication Institutional Profile Survey 2004(2005-02-03)Virtual / digital reference, house calls, clinical information prescriptions, clincal rounds participation, development of interactive online tutorials, personalized web page available for users, web design consulting service, scientific database design consulting, bioinformatics support by librarian, bioinformatics support by non-librarian, institutional data repository, hosting open access e-print archives.Publication Charting the Future (CTF) Committee Organizational Repository Proposal Progress(2005-02-03) Yokote, GailMeeting held in Atlanta, January 14, 2005 with the following members present: Scott (chair), MJ, Parks, Tom, Gail, Karen Cole and Barbara Epstein via phone to further refine organizational repository proposal.Publication AAHSL Organizational Repository Pilot Description(2005-02-03) Yokote, GailThe Charting the Future Committee (CTF) is piloting the development of an “organizational/institutional” repository for AAHSL to meet the AAHSL membership’s desire to create a seamless, user friendly environment that contains information about member activities associated with the Building on Success document, and to create a research & development opportunity for AAHSL members to experiment with institutional repository tools.
