Social media issues
Social media - or Web 2.0 - facilitates communication, reference service and research etc., and the CHLA/ABSC Student Interest Group have the following workshop goals:
- Review which RSS feeds are useful/relevant to health libraries;
- Discuss which open access resources are available, and how to find them;
- Examine social search services, and Google Co-op;
- Determine which social/communication platforms are useful, such as blogs, wikis, etc.
Other topics
- SLA @ SLAIS president Valeria Gallo Stampino organized a training session recently about "Simulation in health professional education".
- At our July meeting, we discussd how some medical teachers use digital simulation as teaching aids in their laboratories as a way to link between librarians, clinicians and digital information tools.
Background to medical simulation
- Medical simulation in professional health sciences education is a hot topic. CHLA/SLAIS president Lili Wang and Valeria discussed the simulation for future medical librarians, and we concluded it may be a field worth exploring. We talked about the possibility of co-organizing a presentation on this topic in the near future.
- Dr. Adam Cheng agreed to let a group of MLIS students observe a simulation session and how students work as a team to respond to emergency situations. The exciting part is that the patient is a technologically advanced child robot (for what I understand) that the professors control from the simulation control room.
- By attending this session, the goals are to 1) learn more about how health science students are learning these days; 2) be inspired about new technologies in medicine, and 3) explore interest in this topic and the feasibility of organizing future events co/hosted by SLA and CHLA at SLAIS.
