Originally intended as a showcase for faculty scholarship, it has evolved to serve also as a university press for original journals and newsletters, and as an institutional archive. Many lessons have been learned about marketing techniques, common IR issues, and advantages of an IR for a library. IR recruitment has come to be viewed as yet another form of collection development and has been integrated into all forms of the Library's outreach. Jefferson's academic health sciences environment has proven similar to other academic environments on issues of acceptance and participation.

Information on this specialized area of practice is minimally covered in entry-level occupational and physical therapy curricula, yet aquatic therapy is a rapidly expanding area of practice.

Description

Thomas Jefferson University Library and University of Massachusetts Medical School Library have two important things in common: successful institutional repositories and experienced library leaders that developed them.

Please join Dan Kipnis and Ann Koopman of Thomas Jefferson University, and Lisa Palmer of University of Massachusetts Medical School for a free webinar on institutional repositories (IRs) at medical schools.

Speakers will explore how each organization decided to start an IR, how the IRs have evolved, unique IR collections, successful partnerships, challenges and opportunities, and the future of medical IRs.

Data Security on Mobile Devices- A Higher Education Perspective http://jdc.jefferson.edu/aisrpubs/23 http://jdc.jefferson.edu/aisrpubs/23 Tue, 19 Jul 2011 06:26:15 PDT Mobile devices, both personal and Jefferson-owned, are being used everywhere on campus. Everyone knows that patient health information should not be stored on mobile devices, but did you know there are similar restrictions for student information?

If you access your Jefferson email from your mobile device and it contains student email on it, or in your address book, you need to know the requirements to protect that data.

Is your device secure?

AISR and JeffIT are hosting a presentation that will address important data security steps you should take to protect the information on your mobile device.

Web 2.0 Inspirations: Collaborative Chapter Event Planning Using Wikis and Google Docs http://jdc.jefferson.edu/aisrpubs/20 http://jdc.jefferson.edu/aisrpubs/20 Fri, 06 Nov 2009 12:31:17 PST Background Philadelphia Chapter--Special Libraries Association • Founded in 1919 • ~ 300 Members • Includes greater Philadelphia region (aka the Delaware Valley): Philadelphia, southeastern Pennsylvania, northern Delaware, and southern New Jersey. • Chapter members serve large (QVC) to small (CFAR) companies, universities (TJU), hospitals (Chestnut Hill) and everything in between. • Active student chapter at Drexel University (DUSLA). We also draw library school students from Clarion. Events Traditionally, the Chapter has held 5-8 events per year. Three of these are Chapter traditions: • Annual Banquet (Spring) • Wine & Cheese Reception (Fall) • Holiday Party/Silent Auction (December) We also include 1-2 “professional development” programs (lecture style w/networking time) and 1-2 Continuing Education programs with hands-on learning in the spring and/or fall. The TechTopics Series In the Fall of 2007, Karen Krasznavolgyi in her role as Professional Development Chair organized a series of hands-on TechTopics workshops. The goal was to provide an overview of new technologies, such as wikis, blogs, office applications, etc and how to apply them to your organization. The following 3 very popular and successful programs were scheduled: • The 2.0 Office: More Than Just Wikis & Blogs (Sept.) • Second Life (Oct.) • Firefox Plug-ins (Nov.) All 3 sessions were well-attended with an average of 15 people. Sessions 1 and 3 were also simulcast. Session one (2.0 office) had almost the same amount of people on simulcast as in person. The nature of the Second Life session did not lend itself to being simulcast. It was, however, probably the most lively session held for our chapter librarians ever!

A pilot project using blogs and wikis for a collaborative EBM assignment in a 3rd year internal medical clerkship http://jdc.jefferson.edu/aisrpubs/19 http://jdc.jefferson.edu/aisrpubs/19 Tue, 06 Oct 2009 12:43:40 PDT Objective Pilot a group assignment using blogs and wikis to develop evidence-based medicine skills in third year medical students on an internal medicine clerkship. Instead of the clerkship’s previous individual ten-page paper assignment, the students were divided into four groups of sixteen. During the clerkship, students are on geographically dispersed rotations. The earlier ten-page paper had required the students to complete a patient history and physical write-up. With the pilot project, each group was assigned a librarian and a physician faculty mentor. Each student recorded on the blog a clinical scenario and question they encountered. They were encouraged to communicate with the librarian to construct a well formed clinical question. Each student group then came to consensus on which question to pursue and collaborated on a wiki including a list of citations to the best available evidence, a critique of the studies, and implications for the patient.

Teaching Medical Informatics Online http://jdc.jefferson.edu/aisrpubs/18 http://jdc.jefferson.edu/aisrpubs/18 Fri, 30 May 2008 06:32:47 PDT At Thomas Jefferson University, Academic Information Services and Research (AISR), has designed a required online Medical Informatics course for 230 first year medical students. The course is designed to demonstrate the need for lifelong-learning skills, to train students in how to ask the appropriate questions to find an answer to their information needs, and to instill an awareness of the various types of information sources available to them and the skills to use these resources.

The entire medical informatics course is completed online. Each student must complete a computing survey, a pre-test, two case studies, and a post-test. A common misconception among both students and administration is that because students are now more familiar with searching due to the World Wide Web they are automatically able to also search the scientific literature for answers to their questions. Based on data from the computing surveys, post-course evaluations and the answers from one question from the case studies, this paper will demonstrate the continued need for teaching Medical Informatics to medical students, and their reactions to learning medical informatics online.

Large Wet Lab Converted to Computer Lab for Studying Microscopic Anatomy http://jdc.jefferson.edu/aisrpubs/16 http://jdc.jefferson.edu/aisrpubs/16 Thu, 29 Nov 2007 10:32:52 PST Virtual microscopy has replaced microscopes representing a sea change in how microscopic anatomy is taught at Thomas Jefferson University (TJU).

The class of 2009 inaugurated virtual microscopy made possible by updating a wet laboratory with new computer stations. Virtual microscopy retains the learning features of microscopes while promoting the learning of relationships through small group interactions. Multi-station computers, equipped with new hardware technology that allows up to 5 monitors and keyboards to run from a single CPU, were installed providing a cost and space effective way to bring virtual microscopy to a large number of students in a small group setting.

Students have access to the same resources for independent study on the University's public computers available in a 24/7 computer lab and in the library.

Access to the lab manual with linked histology images along with individuals' saved images and linked textbook can be used at TJU's public computers.

Whether intended for faculty papers, original journals, dissertations, or special collections, one of the challenges of building an institutional repository is recruiting appropriate content. This presentation addresses experiences at Thomas Jefferson University, along with pointers and strategies for successfully populating an institutional repository.

Its participants include librarians, clinicians, educators, and administrators. This article discusses the content of the course and its applicability to medical librarians.
