Strategic planning for health information libraries: a Quantum2 workshop
This session offers techniques and a hands-on approach to evaluating the current strengths and weaknesses of your information services, aligned against the goals of your health institution. This interactive session helps participants to formulate innovative strategic alternatives for the future and to create an action plan to apply the appropriate resources and tactics. Strategic planning is a management process requiring ongoing assessment and review. In order to be successful it needs to involve all stakeholders of your institution: health librarians, managers, physicians, nurses and other health care professionals, all have a role to play.

PICO workshop
Searching for clinical questions, also known as ‘PICOs’ or ‘CATs’, isn’t easy, especially when evidence based medicine (EBM) demands of you that you retrieve the best currently available evidence. In this course we will show you a way of searching which enables you to perform a thorough search in a reasonable amount of time and with the most efficiency. This format includes a good search report and provides a good base for finding the right evidence for your customers. Key-elements in PICOs are: formulating a good clinical question, getting the background, searching systematically, selecting studies and critical appraisal of those studies. The searching part is the natural habitat of the librarian.


The learning goals of this CEC are:
- being able to use the PICO-format to formulate clinical questions and deriving search terms from it
- evolving your search skills, both in quality and in efficiency
- presenting the search process in a clear and objective way
- (pro-)actively working in a clinical setting
- strengthening your confidence
- sharing PICO-experiences with other information specia¬lists/cli¬nical librarians/medical librarians
- combining live presentations of PICOs with good theory about the background of the PICO and evidence based medicine.
 
This workshop will be highly interactive. At the end of this course you will have done several PICOs and you have picked up a lot of tips, tricks & expertise, which will make YOU the PICO-search-expert!
 



Biography

Hans Ket
is a medical information specialist at the Medical Library of the VU University in Amsterdam. He is in this job for more than seven years now. Before that he had several library-related jobs and was also a nurse-in-training.
In the past years he's done hundreds of PICOs in cooperation with doctors from the Pediatric, Gynaecology/Obstetrics/Fertility, Internal Medicine and other departments. He does the searching together with the doctors. They provide the background and together they find the relevant terms and decide on the appropriate sources (PubMed, Embase, Google, guidelines, UpToDate, and others). By doing the search together he can take care of the efficiency and quality of the search. He also provides the doctors with a report of the search, containing the search terms, sources used, search history and retrieved items. This report is used in the presentation of the PICO to the staff to show that a thorough search has been done. Missed references can be explained and a reasonable amount of certainty is reached.

Marion and Hans are both also teachers of courses in expert searching in Pubmed for  medical librarians.
   
Marion Heijmans after qualifying in 1982,  held a number of librarian positions in several institutions. Since 1991 she workis in medical libraries and currently as head of the medical library of Orbis Medical Centre, Sittard, The Netherlands. She is a member of the Continuing Education Committee of the national BioMedical Information group and participates in two studygroups: CCZ consortium (Central Catalogue for Hospital Libraries) and the Dutch NLM classification system.
As part of the continuing education programme for doctors at Orbis Medisch Centrum, the training from the medical library has become a permanent issue. It started with general trainings for the digital library. Next there was demand for training in literature research and we have developed Pubmed workshops. Until recently they offer PICO-courses, which are part of the education programme for Evidence Based Medicine.

How to design and start a library liaison programme
Medical Library Liaison programmes have evolved over the past 30 years, originating from medical reference librarians providing clinical information services through programmes recognized as clinical librarianship. With the proliferation of medical knowledge and burgeoning electronic publishing and access to information, librarians are moving steadily towards active partnerships with medical researchers and clinicians to provide efficient information services at points of care and in their research environments. This course will combine lecture and discussion elements with small group learning exercises to provide an overview and suggestions for the creation, planning and implementation of a medical library liaison programme. Based on the experience of the Welch Medical Library, the course instructor will cover programme definitions and design elements, a range of library and information services and where they may be performed, how many services may be offered and the extent to which they are given to patrons. The course will cover programme implementation, including elements of relationship-building between the patron/user group and the librarian/informationist and the performance of needs assessments to identify the information resources, products and services that patrons use and value. The course will also provide ideas for programme assessment and tracking program progress.
