Using onsite office hours to connect with healthcare professionals MacEachern, Mark Four librarians at the A. Alfred Taubman Health Sciences Library recently began offering on-site office hours to four distinct units within the University of Michigan Health System and academic health sciences environment: the School of Dentistry, School of Public Health, Cardiovascular Center, and a research laboratory in the Comprehensive Cancer Center. The goal of each office hour experience was to better reach and more proactively support the information needs of underserved clients, while also providing the librarians with more visibility in the units. Despite relatively low walk-in rates, the librarians found that the exposure gained by offering the office hours made each experience an invariable success.

Librarian integration in a four-year medical school curriculum: A timeline MacEachern, Mark The Taubman Health Sciences Library (THL) is integrated in all four years of the University of Michigan Medical School (UMMS) curriculum. Information resources are introduced at strategic points throughout the curriculum so that students receive training at times when they are most likely to need the resource. Most of the core instruction sessions are taught in teams that consist of librarians and UMMS faculty, which provides unique learning opportunities for students. This article describes each THL instruction activity in the four-year undergraduate UMMS curriculum and provides commentary on the overall effectiveness of this integrated approach to instruction.

Using Google and Google Scholar for Evidence-Based Dentistry MacEachern, Mark Google and Google Scholar are commonly used to find evidence to support clinical decisions. While generally easy to search, the result sets in these resources tend to be large and at times difficult to navigate. This paper describes strategies and techniques that will help clinicians overcome this difficulty and create more precise Google and Google Scholar searches.

Using PubMed for Evidence-Based Dentistry MacEachern, Mark Quickly finding high-quality scientific studies is an important part of the evidence-based process. PubMed, which is a free gateway to journal literature for the health sciences, is a common platform used by dentists and dental hygienists for this purpose. This article highlights lesser-known features of PubMed that can greatly improve a clinician’s ability to find high-quality evidence.
