Abstract

Moderator Deborah Blecic convened this years hosted but no holds barred Lively Lunch session.

Time was left for lively discussion between speakers and session attendees. After a few words of greeting by the hosts, Rittenhouse Book Distributors, Inc., Ramune Kubilius provided a brief (traditional) annual update of interesting and noteworthy trends in the health publishing and health information sectors that occurred or were noticed since the 2015 conference.David Parker and Taney Shondel of Alexander Street shared some insights on providing online medical / health video content, including some inherent challenges and opportunities provided by this medium.

Randall Watts shared highlights of Life After The Big Deal (first presented in a 2016 Medical Library Association (MLA) conference poster presentation). Health professional education is becoming increasingly interdisciplinary. How can libraries anticipate and address the information and resource needs for the curricula of these programs?
