3-Step Plan to Review and Renew Evidence-Based Information-Seeking Skills 2008 IFLA Satellite Session Health and Biosciences Section Quebec City August 9
Today I will: • Describe 3-Step Plan • Explain how it evolved • Identify target audiences • Highlight participant testimonials • Outline lessons learned
3-Step Plan@Glance • Create and administer pre-workshop assessments • Develop customized training content • Provide information “after care”
Background: • University of Wisconsin-Madison • The Wisconsin Idea • History of information outreach • Health sciences libraries combine in 2004 • Ebling Library for the health sciences • Outreach initiatives grow • Evidence-based toolkit built
Groups Served: • Alumni • Health care professionals • Researchers • Librarians • Educators • Professional organizations • Special interest groups • General public
Step One - Assessments • View participants as stakeholders in training • Conduct information needs survey • Brief format – 5-10 questions • Online distribution • Space for comments • Share results with facilitators • Anonymous; voluntary information • Provides concrete data for planning and development • Leads to effective use of time and resources
Step Two - Training • Training tailored to address needs • Customized to group • Customized to facility – hands-on, demonstration • Customized to information needs • Includes clear learning objectives • Provides evidence-based principles/resources • Synchronous & asynchronous • Train on accessible resources
Step Three – After Care • Build trusted contacts • Provide ongoing support • Review, renew, refresh information needs • Foster lasting learning collaborations • Build professional relationships • Develop foundations for future partnerships
Testimonials Program could be a little longer. Excellent practical approaches! Very good info, very helpful. Very informative! Extremely helpful program. I can’t wait to practice what I’ve learned
Lessons Learned • EBP recognized as important by most • EB information skills are still minimal • Customized training is more effective • One size does NOT fit all • Target accessible resources and services • “After care” provides training extension • Training continuum • Periodic information “tune ups” needed • Review and renew skills as needed
