This course will provide librarians
with the necessary understanding, skills and overview of resources
to deliver evidence-based information to health care professionals.
Participants will take part in discussions on: developing
partnerships with health professionals to create new modes of
information delivery, and the evolving role of librarian as an
evidence-based information service provider. Librarians will gain a
basic understanding of the various levels of evidence and will be
able to design search processes to retrieve them. A practical
experience will provide participants the opportunity to develop or
enhance the following skills: the literature search
interview--getting to the answerable question; implementing
evidence-based search strategies; packaging and delivering the
search results. Based on their experiences with the Family Practice
Inquiries Network (FPIN), the instructors will discuss the skills
needed to advance the librarian as a partner in information
services development. The concept of the librarian as
informationist will be explored. |

Marketing is awareness and response: Awareness of the world from
the customer's point of view and then responding with changes in
service and communication. Learn how to improve your influence with
middle and upper management, use marketing to create a strategic
plan, bring in new (and "lost") customers (both internal and
external to your institution), collect and evaluate quantitative
and descriptive data and improve the effectiveness of promotional
activities, even if you are a solo librarian. You will create a
marketing project and present the results to your colleagues. For
the second day version of the course, you will create and implement
a marketing project at your library and present the results to your
colleagues at the second day, which will be at least two months
after the first program. Participants will receive an email and
phone support from the instructor. Projects will be evaluated and
information shared. |

This course will encourage participants to approach consumer health
library management in light of the needs of their customer base,
and in the context of their library's environment. Participants
will consider how to identify and characterize their customer base,
and how that customer base will shape their efforts in collection
development, reference service, circulation policies, and
marketing. By considering their library's position in relation to
the larger institution (if any), the other libraries within a
specialty area or a geographic area, and with surrounding health
and information providers, opportunities for alliances and
cooperation become apparent. Participants will explore how their
individual circumstances will shape their library's management to
provide the best possible service. |

Conflict with library customers is inevitable and can result in a
poor service reputation, diminished demand for services, and can
ultimately threaten the library's viability. Conflict between
library co-workers can result in stress and hostility, leading to
reduced productivity, turnover, and failure to meet mission goals.
In this session, participants will learn how communication and
problem solving styles contribute to conflicts and their
resolution. Participants will learn techniques for recognizing and
appreciating the diversity of styles among customers and in the
workplace, and techniques for modifying personal communications in
order to resolve conflict. |
