Scholarly Publishing and Open Access
The course will present a general overview of evolution and current situation of scholarly communication system and scholarly publishing but will focus on Open Access (OA) to promote research visibility, usage and impact. Open Access origins, objectives, definitions, routes (“Green” and “Gold”) and types (“gratis” and “libre”) will be presented and discussed. The most relevant and recent developments of Open Access will be also analyzed

BioMedical WEB-Nuggets
General search engines serve the biomedical librarian little in a scientific context. Special search engines come closer to fulfilling this task. However, there are great differences between them. New ones are emerging every week. Some last some vanish as quickly as they appeared. There are now many full text search engines and repositories, RSS-feeds search engines, RSS-feeds repositories and gadgets. In addition technical platforms for embedding search engines or make them available while reading a scientific text for example in a WORD-file or a webpage have become available. Likewise there are addons to search engines with astounding facilities in terms of gaining instant access to information. The question poses itself: What is good and will last, what is new and going strong. This workshop introduces the up and coming sites and software as well as it reviews the proven. In addition insight into how the somewhat more challenging applications are made the best use of, will be provided. The course will be highly up-to-date, as the author will monitor the Internet for new arrivals until a few days before the course will actually be given. All contents will be available to take home on a CD-ROM set in HTML, so it will be possible to start browsing right from there.

Trials registers, results registers and other research registers
Increasing national and international interest in identifying, recording and promoting access to healthcare trials and their results has seen the development of large numbers of trials registers, and more recently, results registers. Trials registers provide information on current and recently completed research and results registers provide information on completed research. This type of information is useful for research commissioning, health technology assessments, systematic reviews and product development.

Trials registers, results registers and other research registers are developing quickly and provide challenges in terms of identification, efficient searching and record management. This half day continuing education course will highlight the key trials registers and trials results registers and will offer practical advice on searching registers and managing register records.

Tecnologias emergentes e ferramentas de nova geração.
Para disponibilizar os serviços e recursos de biblioteca de acordo com as necessidades actuais, torna-se necessária a exploração de ambientes relevantes para o utilizador, o uso de novas tecnologias baseadas na Web com elementos da Web 2.0 e uma arquitectura técnica estruturada de sistemas de informação da biblioteca. Nos próximos anos, o desenvolvimento das redes sociais, educacionais e de investigação, as técnicas de pesquisa semântica, as ferramentas pessoais móveis e on-line ditarão o modo como os utilizadores irão pesquisar e recuperar a informação.
O sucesso futuro das bibliotecas médicas depende do nível de compreensão e adopção das tecnologias emergentes.
Este curso irá olhar para a Web 2.0 e mais além: a biblioteca móvel, a biblioteca virtual, os mash-ups, as ferramentas para colaboração, as redes sociais e as novas tecnologias de pesquisa.
Nota: Este curso será ministrado em português

Emerging technologies and tools
Exploration of relevant user environments, the use of new web-based technologies with Web 2.0 elements and a more structural, technical re-design of library information systems, is needed to deliver library services and resources at the place of need.
In the next few years, the further development of social, educational and research networks, semantic search techniques, mobile and online personal tools, will be dictating how users will look and search for information.

The future success of medical libraries depends on the level of understanding and embracing the relevant emerging technologies.

This course will look at Web 2.0 and beyond: the mobile library, virtualization, mash-ups, collaborative tools, social networks & new search technologies. A part of the course will focus on the issue of the accessibility of new technologies within your organisation.

Writing for scientific/academic Publications
Introduction and needs assessment; the basic structure of the scientific paper (IMMRD); supporting information (tables, figures and references); practical exercise: appraisal of published papers; closure and satisfaction inquiry)

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! ZINES ADEUS in Lisbon on the 15th of June!

FUNDING OPTIONS

Navigating the Evidence Base: Planning and Delivering Effective Library Services
This brand new half-day workshop is designed to allow health librarians to experience for themselves the practical realities of Evidence Based Library and Information Practice (EBLIP). Working in small groups, organised around common library scenarios, participants will follow the five steps of a revised Evidence Based Practice process (named “EBLIP Five Point Zero” following the EBLIP5 Conference in Stockholm, 2009); Articulate, Acquire, Assess, Agree and Adapt. Essentially a team process, in contrast to the individual practitioner model favoured by evidence based medicine, this variant is best experienced rather than simply observed.

This course aims to provide only a brief narrative commentary from the presenter linking participants through the five stages of EBLIP Five Point Zero, supported by follow-up resources, tools and references to further reading. This leaves the focus on experiential learning in rapidly-constituted action learning sets. In this way the course, which requires no previous knowledge of evidence based library and information practice (although a basic grasp of evidence based healthcare may be useful), will simulate how teams of librarians make evidence based decisions in the workplace. Practical benefits of the course will include a broad perspective of the potential offered by EBLIP, a realistic experience of the process and a transferable model for adoption in the participants’ own libraries.

Course Outline:

• Charting the EBLIP Process
• Articulating Your Question
• Acquiring Disparate Evidence
• Assessing the Evidence Base
• Agreeing a Plan of Action
• Adapting and Adopting
• The Journey Travelled

How to develop a search strategy for a systematic review
Healthcare librarians in the 21st century are facing new challenges in their multiple roles and an area where they are expected to make a contribution to research is in conducting systematic reviews.
Increasingly, researchers are requesting systematic review support from healthcare librarians who are expected to develop and carry out complex searches.

The aim of this course is to introduce the participants to:

• the formulation of a focused research question
• the identification of important concepts within the question patient or problem intervention, comparison, and outcome (PICO)
• the identification of search terms to describe those concepts
• the brainstorming of keywords related to the topic area
• what is meant by ‘sensitivity’ and ‘specificity’
• preparation of the search strategy using Boolean operators, truncation, and other key features of strategy development
