SUNDAY, JUNE 10

Full Day (8:00 AM - 4:30 PM)
CE: EDirect for PubMed: Get the Data You Need

EDirect is free software developed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) that can help you access exactly the PubMed data you need, in exactly the format you need. NLM instructors will offer a full day CE class on how to use EDirect to design custom output formats, create basic data pipelines to get data quickly and efficiently, and develop simple strategies for solving real-world PubMed data-gathering challenges. EDirect works in a Unix environment, but no previous Unix knowledge is needed and all the software can be installed on a Windows, Mac, or Linux computer. Attendees should be familiar with basic PubMed searching. Attendees will be required to bring their own device and install EDirect and some supporting software before the class. The software is free and attendees will receive installation instructions after registration. REGISTRATION DEADLINE FOR THIS CLASS IS MAY 31, 2018 to allow for software installation requirements and follow-up.

Presented by: DBIO
Instructors:

• Kate Majewski, team lead for the PubMed training team

VIPs: Very Important Pests

It is estimated that 18-26% of the crops grown or stored are ruined by insect attack, and thus are not able to ever be used to feed us. That damage caused by termite and cockroach infestations costs over $30 billion annually. An analysis of more than 3,500 papers in the leading Journal of Economic Entomology, 2000-2015, uncovered 647 major insect pests ravaging our crops, food warehouses, backyards, and homes. In this session, we will examine the major commodities and venues infested today, with images of the top 25 doing their worst, and learn how agricultural stakeholders, the scientific community, and state and federal government agencies are working together to detect, monitor, and control pest threats. We will also highlight authoritative resources in the field of economic entomology for keeping abreast of pest research and developments.

Putting a Frame around STEM Instruction: Lightning Talks on Successful Implementations of the ACRL Framework in STEM Information Literacy Instruction

Are you looking to get inspired about the new ACRL Framework for Information Literacy? Learn how STEM librarians have "Framed" their instruction, and take home tips and techniques you can use in your classes. Come prepared to take notes and write fast! STEM librarians from different subject areas will give brief lightning talks on their use of the Framework, and time will be provided at the end for questions. Although this session assumes some familiarity with the Framework, it is also suitable for new instructors looking for ideas.

Forming Focused Research Questions with PICO

PICO (Population, Intervention, Control, and Outcome) is a technique used in evidence-based disciplines to design a focused research question that will return relevant results. Using PICO helps you brainstorm for keywords and save time. The PICO methodology can be used in any discipline to develop an answerable question. In this session you will learn how to use PICO, and why and when you should use it. We will take poorly formed research questions and transform them using PICO. Session attendees will also get hands-on practice using PICO.

Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Lessons Learned from Systematic Review Research Projects

A systematic literature review is an analysis of existing research using a methodical and explicit process to identify, select, and critically appraise relevant studies and collect and analyze data from them. This type of review aims to address research questions by integrating the findings of all relevant and high-quality studies. This session demonstrates the application of the systematic literature review methodology in STEM disciplines such as aviation and engineering education. Participants will also learn about the various roles of librarians in such studies, the scholarly publishing rights regarding co-authorship, and how to work with researchers (collaborators and reviewers) who have limited experience with systematic literature reviews.

Tell Your Story Well: How Embedded Librarians Demonstrate and Communicate Their Value

Embedded librarians have unique opportunities and challenges in demonstrating and communicating their value. Metrics and communications have to be tailored to each situation, and can depend on the type of organization, the organization's mission and strategy, and the personalities involved. In this session, experienced managers and librarians will share perspectives, principles, and examples for demonstrating and communicating your value metrics.

Good, Bad, & Ugly Germs: Perspectives on the Centennial Remembrance of the 1918 Influenza Pandemic

For the centennial commemoration of the Spanish Flu Pandemic of 1918, medical libraries are working with museums to remember the loss of more than 50 million lives worldwide. How are librarians helping curators create both interesting and informative exhibits that reach general and specialized patrons? What research is currently underway at medical libraries on the influenza virus, and how does the Spanish Flu affect current research? This panel explores the link between librarians, researchers, and curators when current research and commemorative remembrance intertwine.

Edible Pharmacopoeia: Culinary Herbs/Spices and Health

In Asia and Europe, herbs and spices have been used for both culinary and medicinal purposes for centuries. Modern research is documenting the health benefits of common kitchen staples such as black pepper, cinnamon, clove, oregano, and turmeric, but determining their bioactive properties and mechanisms of action within a nutritional context is challenging. This session will explore the various ways that the body's physiological functions (e.g., digestive, cardiovascular, neurological, respiratory, etc.) are supported and enhanced by herbs and spices, and identify the sources of authoritative, evidence-based information regarding safety, effectiveness, interactions, and more!

Convener: Rosanna Lindquist (Hershey Company)
Presented by: DFAER (lead), DBIO, DST
Presenters:

• Georganne "Geo" Derick Giordano, a registered Medical Herbalist professionally certified by the American Herbalist Guild and adjunct faculty at Johns Hopkins University

It's a Microbiota World After All: Examining the Scope of Microbiome Research

One of the most difficult things for science librarians to do is to stay current on the various scientific research fronts. It is a critical part of our job to be aware of the latest research, technology, acronyms, and more in order to best serve the scientists and researchers we work with. Science moves so quickly that it can be difficult staying up-to-date. An area that is growing extremely rapidly, and is of interest to DBIO and other science division members, is that of the microbiome.

Human, specifically gut, microbiomes have dominated the public interest the past few years, but microbiomes impact all facets of our lives: agricultural, terrestrial, aquatic, and more. Microbiota have important, yet often not fully understood, roles in many ecosystems and it is imperative that we understand how they develop and thrive to improve our health, economy, and environment. During this session, leading scientists will discuss where the microbiome research is currently at, where the gaps are, and where it is going. They will discuss examples of the interdisciplinary state of microbiome research, important studies leading to our better understanding of microbiome, and even possible funding sources for researchers interested in this rapidly growing field. This session will help attendees update subject domain knowledge and become more cognizant of what is happening in the microbiome research world to better assist the scientists, researchers, and students they work with.
