Explore a wealth of ideas, insights, and approaches that can be
used or adapted by any medical library Curricular changes in the
health professions, coupled with a growing acceptance of the
Internet as a tool for daily living, have contributed to a climate
of change and opportunity for health sciences libraries. A Guide to
Developing End User Education Programs in Medical Libraries will
help graduate students in library science, entry-level medical
librarians, and experienced educators to understand best practices
and to build, expand, and improve medical library-sponsored
educational programs. A Guide to Developing End User Education
Programs in Medical Libraries is designed to aid and inform
professionals who develop, teach, or evaluate end-user education
programs in health sciences libraries. Eighteen case studies
represent the ideas and approaches of more than fifteen private and
public institutions in the United States and the Caribbean. The
studies focus on effective end-user programs for medical
information electives, veterinary medicine programs, health care
informatics, and evidence-based medicine, plus instructional
programs for teaching residents, ThinkPad-facilitated instruction,
and more. The guide also examines how several medical libraries
have created and expanded their end-user education programs.The
contributors to A Guide to Developing End User Education Programs
in Medical Libraries are health sciences librarians from teaching
hospitals, medical/dental/veterinary schools, and health
professions-focused universities in a dozen U.S. states and the
West Indies. Each of them is involved in designing, teaching, and
evaluating user education. This book will help you educate students
of medicine, pharmacy, physical therapy, dentistry, and veterinary
medicine, plus residents and practicing health professionals. The
educational objectives and approaches in the case studies include:
clinical medical librarianship integrating informatics objectives
into curricula developing credit and non-credit coursework distance
learning using new and emerging technologies to improve
instructionThe case studies in A Guide to Developing End User
Education Programs in Medical Libraries follow a format similar to
that of the structured abstract, including introduction, setting,
educational approaches, evaluation methods, future plans,
conclusion, and references. Some are illustrated with tables and
figures. Several are supplemented by material in chapter-specific
appendixes. Further information about specific classes, programs,
or teaching philosophies is made available via Web sites featured
in the book.Let this valuable guide help you--and your
