Contributed Papers and Bios Routes to Discovery 2005 Sunday, Sept. 18, 1:30 – 3:30 pm biology and an MLIS from the University of Western Ontario. Ms. Rana completed the University of Michigan’s Library Research Residency Program in 2001. Under a fellowship in 2004, she completed the NLM/MBL BioMedical Informatics course in Woods Hole, Massachusetts. She has been a co-investigator in a real-time randomized controlled trial to study evidence-based searching instruction of NICU residents and is currently involved in the review of literature for the “Current Best Evidence” section of Journal of Pediatrics.

Paper XI – 2:30 pm (Executive Room) Collaborative Discovery: Librarians and Clinical Nursing Faculty Building Online Learning Objects Ulrike Dieterle & Ann Combs At the School of Nursing, University of Wisconsin-Madison, librarians and clinical faculty are collaborating to produce online learning objects that provide a new approach to library instruction. In the spring of 2004, library instruction was carefully reevaluated and a new approach was developed to teaching information-seeking skills and orienting students to library resources. A collaborative team consisting of three clinical faculty and four librarians designed four web-based learning objects, a virtual tour of the library website, and three assignment-centered tutorials. Modules are short (15 minutes), focus on specific learning objectives, and are easily-accessible on campus and off. They are embedded in an online course environment and free librarians to provide more customized instruction to classes upon request. This presentation will describe the genesis and evolution of a successful collaboration between two very different academic groups with a common goal, namely to provide more relevant, flexible and reusable learning support. It will outline the challenges, the assessment tools used, benefits of working collaboratively, the outcomes achieved and the importance of involving all stakeholders in the process. Ulrike Dieterle is distance services and outreach coordinator at the Ebling Library, University of Wisconsin- Madison. Previously she was head of access services, also at a health sciences library, where she guided the development of a high-speed document delivery system that has revolutionized access to biomedical information. Ms. Dieterle has 17 years of experience in libraries and nine years of experience in the field of distance learning during a previous career in teaching. She has developed successful training programs for diverse groups and organizations. She enjoys exploring new paths to improve information transfer and believes firmly in the power of user-centered systems.

Paper XII – 3:00 pm (Executive Room) Planning the Journey and Packing for the Trip: Considerations for a Successful Outreach Program Janet Stith & Winn Theirl Have you had thoughts about developing an outreach program at your institution but are not really sure how it will fit in with your overall library activities or benefit your organization? Do you have an outreach program but lack of funding has you discouraged? Having an active outreach program at your institution can lead to wonderful discoveries about the citizens in your state and open the door to many exciting possibilities in the delivery of library services. The University of Kentucky is a land grant university, with a mission to serve the citizenry of Kentucky. The UK Medical Center Library has a long history of helping to fulfill this mission by library outreach services to the people of Kentucky. This paper will review some of the outreach journeys the library has experienced from the 1970s to present day and highlight lessons learned from them. The speakers will review how having an active outreach program has positively impacted their library and has led them to many exciting discoveries by introducing them to new audiences and successful collaborations, including some within their own university. Considerations such as administrative support, selecting target audiences and collaborative partners,
Contributed Papers and Bios Routes to Discovery 2005 Sunday, Sept. 18, 1:30 – 3:30 pm seeking funding from NLM and NN/LM Greater Midwest Region awards, and other key issues pertinent to a successful outreach program also will be reviewed. Janet Barclay Stith has been the director of the University of Kentucky Medical Center Library in Lexington since December 1993. She has an M.A. in education from West Virginia University and an M.S. in library science from the University of Kentucky.
