Overview
In this hands-on course you will earn to create an e-library collection
development plan for free and
fee-based Web-accessible resources for health and medicine. Students
will focus on developing a
collection plan for one library patron group of their choice, for the
kind of library they work in (e.g.,
hospital, medical center, medical school, allied health programs,
public libraries, academic library,
other special library, etc.) Patron groups may include: Healthcare
consumers, physicians of general
or particular speciality, nurses, pharmacists, medical school students,
allied health students, biomedical
researchers, etc. This is a five part course. Each part includes
lecture, discussion and hands-on
activities that will step participants through creating or assessing a
collection plan for developing
a health and medicine e-library collection.
We will use examples of good health and medical e-libraries on the Web
to illustrate each part.
