Bullet Point 1, Bullet Point 2, Bullet Point 3… the Audience Flees: Visual Communication Skills for Effective Teaching and Presentations
8:00 a.m. - 12 noon
Sally Gore

Librarians are called upon to tackle a whole host of tasks for which library school left them woefully unprepared. Unless your other studies provided you with a background in education, public speaking, and/or design, you’ve likely found yourself in the awkward situation of having to deliver a class or presentation knowing that you’re not really confident in your abilities or wondering if you could do better. Effective communication involves blending words and visuals, stories and facts, in a way that creates a setting where your audience both gets and remembers the message you share.
This workshop will provide an overview of some basics in design and presentation to help you become a better communicator, teacher, and ultimately, LIBRARIAN! Come prepared to be active, to take part, to try new things, to be creative, and to have fun. You’ll leave with the energy and enthusiasm to speak to thousands (or at least 10).

Becoming an Expert Searcher for Evidence-Based Content
October 13, 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 noon

Electronic Health Records in the Era of Meaningful Use
1:00 - 4:00 p.m.
Vishnu Mohan

In 2011, the federal government began to pay bonuses to clinicians and hospitals that adopt electronic health records (EHRs). As a consequence, in the last few years EHR implementation rates have increased substantially. and the number of clinicians using EHRs have also risen exponentially.

This workshop examines EHR use, particularly in the area of clinical decision support, and the role of librarians in supporting clinicians' information needs. We will look at the impact of Meaningful Use and EHRs on clinical workflows, health care expenditures, privacy and security, and clinician documentation. We will focus on the role of the librarian in the shifting world of health care delivery in an interactive fashion.
