Guide to Developing End User Education Programs in Medical Libraries

A Guide to Developing End User Education Programs in Medical Libraries is designed to aid and inform professionals who develop, teach, or evaluate end-user education programs in health sciences libraries. Eighteen case studies look at successful effective end-user programs for medical information electives, veterinary medicine programs, health care informatics, and evidence-based medicine, plus instructional programs for teaching residents, ThinkPad-facilitated instruction, and more. The guide also examines how several medical libraries have created and expanded their end-user education programs. This book will help to educate students of medicine, pharmacy, physical therapy, dentistry, and veterinary medicine, plus residents and practicing health professionals. The educational objectives and approaches in the case studies include clinical medical librarianship; integrating informatics objectives into curricula; developing credit and non-credit coursework; distance learning; and using new and emerging technologies to improve instruction.Connor, Elizabeth is the author of 'Guide to Developing End User Education Programs in Medical Libraries', published 2005 under ISBN 9780789017253 and ISBN 0789017253.
