  2. Information Resources and Services Integrating Libraries and Digital Information for the Support of Biomedical Education, Research, and Clinical Practice Dartmouth Biomedical Libraries

  3. William F. Garrity • Director of Biomedical LibrariesDartmouth College/Dartmouth Medical School and Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. • Instructor, Department of Community and Family Medicine, Dartmouth Medical School. • Special Associate for Innovative Projects, Dartmouth College Library. Dartmouth Biomedical Libraries

  5. Goal • How libraries, information technology, and the Internet can be integrated to support biomedical education, research, and clinical practice. Dartmouth Biomedical Libraries

  6. Zeitgeist of this Visit • zeit·geist | Pronunciation: 'tsIt-"gIst, 'zIt | Function: noun | Etymology: German, from Zeit (time) + Geist (spirit) | Date: 1884 | Meaning: the general intellectual, moral, and cultural climate of an era. (Merriam-Webster's Collegiate® Dictionary at www.Merriam-Webster.com by Merriam-Webster, Incorporated.) Dartmouth Biomedical Libraries

  7. Conventions • DMS = Dartmouth Medical School. • DHMC = Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. • DHA = Dartmouth-Hitchcock Alliance. • DHC = Dartmouth-Hitchcock Clinic. Dartmouth Biomedical Libraries

  8. My Professional Perspective • Library career spanning 15 years. • Both university research libraries and academic health and life sciences libraries. • Private (non-state) institutions. Dartmouth Biomedical Libraries

  9. My Personal Perspective • B.S. in Biological Sciences. • M.A. in Library Sciences. • Graduate study in business administration and intellectual property law. • Technologically fluent. Dartmouth Biomedical Libraries

  10. Local Perspectives • Semi-independent medical school. • Undergraduate college with selected graduate and professional programs. Dartmouth Biomedical Libraries

  11. Private Institutions • Stable funding. • No public mandate. • Informal governance. Dartmouth Biomedical Libraries

  12. Public Institutions • Variable funding. • Public mandate. • More formal governance. Dartmouth Biomedical Libraries

  13. Current Information Environment • Much more complex. • Role of library is the one group that knows best how to identify, access, and customize information for clients. Dartmouth Biomedical Libraries

  14. Current Information Environment • Hubert Dreyfus. On the Internet. Routledge, 2001. Dartmouth Biomedical Libraries

  20. Changes to Client Behavior and Expectations • Distributed sites, remote use. • Always working, always connected. • High expectations. • Prompt gratification. Dartmouth Biomedical Libraries

  21. Current Technology Environment • Wireless campus (Dartmouth and DHMC) network. • Everyone has a computer. • Laptops. Dartmouth Biomedical Libraries

  22. Information Production in Health and Life Sciences • Research idea. • Government (taxpayer) support. • Author publishes research results in for-profit publisher titles. • Libraries pay to access titles. Dartmouth Biomedical Libraries

  23. Trends in Health and Life Sciences Libraries: Resources • Ownership: identification, collection, storage, preservation, access.  • Access: identification, access. Dartmouth Biomedical Libraries

  24. Resources cont. • Publishers are societies and associations. • For-profit publishers. • "Born digital" versus digitization. • Open archives. Dartmouth Biomedical Libraries

  25. Resources cont. • Open archives. • Disciplinary-oriented databases of self-archived scholarship. • Tools to support review, endorsement, publication, and archiving. • PubMed Central: http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/ Dartmouth Biomedical Libraries

  26. Trends in Health and Life Sciences Libraries: Services • Passive: wait to be used by our clients.  • Active: insert ourselves into the work of our clients. Dartmouth Biomedical Libraries

  27. Services cont. • "Reference desk."  • Teaching, research, and patient care. Dartmouth Biomedical Libraries

  28. Emphases • Libraries are integral to the education, research, and clinical programs of their institutions. • Libraries partner with faculty and students to advance teaching, research, and patient care. Dartmouth Biomedical Libraries
