Introduction
Dean's social media presentation
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.
- Valeria spoke to Dr. Adam Cheng and he agreed to let small group of MLIS students observe this exciting simulation session. During the session, we will be observing how students work as a team to respond to an emergency situation. 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.
