- Abstract:
- The Library of Congress Subject Headings system, and the National Library of Medicine's Medical Subject Headings thesaurus have been mapped. The mapping data has been entered into 7XX fields of USMARC authority records. The data continues to be updated as subject headings are added, deleted, or changed in both information languages. It is planned to distribute the mapping data in both MARC and non-MARC formats to libraries, vendors, bibliographic utilities and other developers of information systems.

- Promoting Special Collections with a Medical School’s Sesquicentennial Celebration
- Original Bibliographic Citation:
- Shedlock, J. and Sims, R. Promoting Special Collections with a Medical School’s Sesquicentennial Celebration. Poster presented at the Medical Library Association's annual meeting, Honolulu, HI, May 2009.
- Abstract:
- Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine celebrates its sesquicentennial in 2009. The Galter Health Sciences Library’s Special Collections is often used to promote the library in the life of its medical school, and this year it fulfills a crucial, supporting role in the sesquicentennial celebrations. Because much of the school’s history is located in the Special Collections’ resources, it is the library’s responsibility to share this history and use it as a means of promoting the school’s future excellence in education, research and patient care based on a record of past success. When the sesquicentennial celebration ends, the library will have played a significant role in promoting the medical school, advancing the role of the library and demonstrating the value of history and preservation in the life of the school.

- Starting from scratch – building the perfect digital repository
- Original Bibliographic Citation:
- Starting from scratch – building the perfect digital repository - Piotr Hebal, Violeta Ilik, and Kristi Holmes - Open Repositories 2015, Indianapolis, IN, June 9, 2015
- Abstract:
- By establishing a digital repository for the Feinberg School of Medicine (FSM) (Northwestern University, Chicago campus), we anticipate gaining the ability to create, share, and preserve attractive, functional, and citable digital collections and exhibits. Galter Health Sciences Library did not have a repository as of November 2014. In just a few months we formed a small team that was charged at looking to select the most suitable open source platform for our digital repository software. We followed the National Library of Medicine master evaluation criteria by looking at various factors that included: functionality, scalability, extensibility, interoperability, ease of deployment, system security, system, physical environment, platform support, demonstrated successful deployments, system support, strength of development community, stability of development organization, and strength of technology roadmap for the future. These factors are important for our case considering the desire to connect the digital repository with platforms that produce VIVO compatible structured linked data. VIVO is a linked data platform that serves as a researchers’ hub and which provides the names of researchers from academic institutions along with their research output, affiliation, research overview, service, background, researcher’s identities, teaching, and much more.

- Title:
- One (Online) Site: A New Paradigm for MLA Concurrent Session Planning?
- Original Bibliographic Citation:
- Kubilius RK and Rethlefsen ML. "One (Online) Site: A New Paradigm for MLA Concurrent Session Planning?". Poster Presentation, Medical Library Association annual meeting, Boston, MA, May 2013 and Midwest Chapter / MLA annual meeting, East Peoria, IL, October 2013.
- Abstract:
- Objectives: To assess the effectiveness and usability of an online section/special interest group (SIG) program planning process for the One Health meeting and to investigate whether the time has come for the process to move online for future meetings. Methods: Traditionally, MLA has required that section and SIG planners attend two on-site meetings that take place the year prior to the meeting being planned. An experiment grew out of necessity when planning for the 2013 international federated meeting that resulted in a meeting planning timeline that did not follow the usual pattern. An alternative method was devised, implemented, and tested. All 2013 program planners will be invited to participate in a survey to gauge their satisfaction with the online session theme planning process. A follow-up interview will be conducted with those planners who had earlier experience with the previous planning process. Results: Thirty-four planners (from all 23 sections and 7 SIGs) responded to the survey. One respondent had not used the online planning site at all, due to inaccessibility of Google Sites at work. Of the remaining 33 respondents, 17 were first-time program planners. Responses about the site were generally positive (4 responses from experienced users were negative about usability, and 3 indicated it was ineffective). Nonusers of the online tutorials perceived the site's usability negatively or very positively, though perceived site effectiveness did not differ by tutorial usage. The overall online planning process was perceived slightly less positively, and 3 experienced planners felt the 2013 process was worse than their previous experience (same n=7, better n=5). Most planners favored adding an in-person component, though 3 felt it would not have benefited the process, and 11, primarily first-timers, were unsure. Communication challenges were mentioned in qualitative survey comments and focus group discussions, though it was acknowledged that the online process allowed more people to participate in a more efficient, trackable manner. Strong leadership, perceived as evident for 2013, could ensure future success with online planning. Conclusions: For the online planning process to succeed in the future, an in-person component should be retained as a supplement.

- Title:
- Promoting and Teaching the History of Medicine in an Undergraduate Curriculum
- Description:
- Paper Presentation, Medical Library Association annual meeting, Honolulu, HI, May 2009.
- Original Bibliographic Citation:
- Shedlock J; Sims R; Kubilius R. "Promoting and Teaching the History of Medicine in an Undergraduate Curriculum". Paper Presentation, Medical Library Association annual meeting, Honolulu, HI, May 2009.
- Abstract:
- Objective: This paper describes the development of a history seminar for a medical school’s course on "Physician, Patient and Society." The genesis of the seminar responds to the librarians’ desire to promote the use of the library’s special collections, especially rare books, among students in the undergraduate MD curriculum. The medical school, its library, and the MD curriculum are described. Methods: The MD course is "Patient, Physician and Society" and is included in both year 1 and year 2 curricula. The history seminar is an option among 20+ humanities seminars offered to students; students are required to choose one seminar. The history seminar is 5 sessions long and is limited to 6 students; the seminar is offered in successive weeks to year 1 and then year 2 students each January and February. Students choose a disease or health condition and trace its history back in time, using the rare books as supporting evidence. A PowerPoint presentation is required at the last session to reinforce the use of technology as a teaching tool and to promote teaching skills among students.
