Informatievaardigheden

Het januari nummer van J. Med. Libr Assoc 97 (1), januari 2009 bevatte ook een artikel over het zoekgedrag van de medische professionals (artsen, verpleegkundigen en aanverwante disciplines), getiteld The information-seekeing behavior of clinical staff in al large health organization. Het onderzoek is gedaan is een groot ziekenhuis in Nieuw Zeeland. Aan 850 professionals werd een vragenlijst gestuurd om anoniem aan te geven welke databanken en zoekmachines ze gebruikten en hoe vaak, tw. UptoDate, clinical Evidence, EBM Reviews, Harrisons, Pubmed of Medline, EMBASE, TRIP, CINAHL, GOOGle en GOOGLE scholar. 518 respondenten stuurden het formulier retour.
Google is favoriet, gevolgd door PuBMed. De rest komt er bekaaid vanaf. Medici zijn iets meer geneigd om in de betaalde databanken te zoeken. Echter, de resultaten wijken weinig af van eerdere conlusies uit oudere literatuur (zie ook de log van van Anne Welsh, Limiting the dataset .  Anne Welsh wijst weer op het belang van gespecialiseerde databanken als de The Cochrane Library en NLH's Specialist Libraries , want voor de clinicus geldt minder is meer. Clinici prefereren een snelle zoekactie boven een zoekactie in de Pubmed, waar de gevonden grote aantallen referenties vaak teveel ruis bevatten en inperken weer teveel tijd kost. 

Op deze log van Wesh blog werd ik weer gewezen door Laika's onovertroffen blog., die nu het initiatief heeft genomen voor een zogenaamde  carnaval blog- "the best blog posts in the field of medical librarianship". De eerste is nu gehost op haar blog. Geweldig, je blijft lezen.

Verslaglegging zoekstrategie in de Cochrane

Het januari nummer van J. Med Lib Assoc 97 (1) 2009 bevat een artikel getiteld: Analysis of the reporting of search strategies in cochrane systematic reviews. Het blijkt dat de eigen systematic reviews, zelfs de meest recente, zich niet houden aan de aanbevolen 7 punten die volgens het handboek mbt de zoekstrategie vastgelegd moeten worden.
Dat zijn:

- De databanken waarin gezocht is
- De host / provider
- Datum waarop de zoekactie plaatsvond
- Tijdsperiode / vanaf welk jaar
- Complete zoekstrategie
- Korte uitleg ( 1 á 2 zinnen) mbt zoekstrategie
- Taalinperkingen

Met name de datum wanneer de zoekactie plaatsvond wordt vaak vergeten.  Handig om het nog eens op een rijtje te zien staan.

Expertisecentrum forensische psychiatrie

In de tbs-sector is een streven naar samenwerking in het wetenschappelijk onderzoek naar de forensische zorg en behandeling. Met de oprichting van het EFP (expertisecentrum forensische psychiatrie) is een basis geschapen voor gemeenschappelijk onderzoek. Het EFP heeft al 8 onderzoeksrapporten uitgebracht in de reeks "Actuele Kennis".
De rapporten bevatten nuttige informatie ook voor de algemene psychiatrie, die in hun forensisch psychiatrische afdelingen ook te maken krijgen met  psychiatrische patiënten afkomstig uit de tbs sector.
De rapporten zijn bij het EFP (gratis) te verkrijgen.

Google moet weg!

In het rapport "Danger and opportunities posed by large search engines, particularly Google" stelt de TU Graz, dat Google een gevaar vormt. Niet alleen voor de waarheidsvinding (veel mensen zijn  tevreden met de zoekresultaten van Google: het Google-Copy-Paste-Syndroom) maar ook voor de economie.

Impactfactoren

De conclusie is duidelijk: "Decisions placed on journal impact factors are potentially misleading where the uncertainty associated with the measure is ignored. This article proposes that caution should be exercised in the interpretation of journal impact factors and their ranks, and specifically that a measure of uncertainty should be routinely presented alongside the point estimate."

Invloed van bibliotheken op duur ziekenhuisverblijf

Via Krafty:

In het aankomende oktobernummer van JMLA (binnenkort beschikbaar via PubMed Central) staat een artikel over de invloed van de bibliotheek op de lengte/duur van het ziekenhuisverblijf.

"Decreased Hospital Length of Stay Associated With Presentation of Cases at Morning Resport with Librarian Support." (J Med Libr Assoc 95(4) October 2007 381-7.

The authors decided to study whether a librarian and a computerized literature search at case discussion in residents' morning report affected hosptial charges, length of stay, and thirty day readmission rate. They found that the length of stay for cases in the librarian attended morning report group was 3 days while it was 5 days for the control group. The median hospital charges for the morning report group were $7045 while the control group's median charges were $10,663. However the number of readmissions within 30 days was not significantly different between the two groups.

Kijk dus uit voor dit artikel en gebruik het als er eens een discussie is over het bestaansrecht van de bibliotheek!

Skeptical Medical Reference

In Library Philosophy and Practice june 2007: 

Samuel T.C. Thompson en Rachel P. Thompson. Skeptical Medical Reference: Helping Patrons Find Critical Resources for Consumer Health Issues (html) / PDF

With the popularization of the Internet, there has been a vast proliferation of consumer health material available to the public. Unfortunately, this has only accelerated a pre-existing trend- the fact that much of the material made available is unproven, unreliable, or outright fraud. This requires librarians to make a choice: are they passive and uncritical dispensers of information or are they critical educators who help patrons choose the best information available? In this article we examine the issues facing librarians in this matter and presents skeptical materials that may help librarians to answer critical health questions.

LPP heeft trouwens ook een aardig Google and Libraries nummer uitgebracht deze maand. Full-text

Zotero

In het meest recente nummer van MLA News 2007 (april pag. 21) staat een aardig artikel over Zotero : a new breed of search tool.

Zotero is een Firefox plug-in die in staat is om informatie (zoals auteur, titel ed.) te herkennen in als bibliografische velden op te slaan.

Het lijkt (op papier) op Conotea waar ook in Medisch Contact over geschreven is.

Big Splash

The international pharmaceutical industry is among the most important sponsors of scientific research, so it is understandable that some of the most widely published authors of scientific articles are affiliated with, or sponsored by, pharmaceutical companies.

In this quarterly review of the scientific literature on drugs and therapies, Thomson Scientific has assessed the quantity and quality of the materials published by pharmaceutical companies, research institutions and other non-commercial bodies in the last three months to identify which organization has made the biggest splash.

Waarom publiceren in Open Access?

Factors influencing publication choice: why faculty choose open access
Stefanie E. Warlick and K. T.L. Vaughan
Biomedical Digital Libraries 2007,4:1 doi:10.1186/1742-5581-4-1
(full-text)

In an attempt to identify motivating factors involved in decisions to publish in open access and open archives (OA) journals, individual interviews with biomedical faculty members at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-Chapel Hill) and Duke University, two major research universities, were conducted. The interviews focused on faculty identified as early adopters of OA/free full-text publishing.

Conclusions
It appears that publication quality is of utmost importance when choosing publication venues in general, while free access and visibility are specifically noted incentives for selection of OA journals. Therefore, free public availability and increased exposure may not be strong enough incentives for authors to choose open access over more traditional and respected subscription based publications, unless the quality issue is also addressed.

Institutional journal costs in an open access environment

W.H. Walters. Institutional journal costs in an open access environment

Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology  Volume 58, Issue 1, January 2007, Pages 108-120 . (bij Wiley alleen betaalde toegang tot full-text)

Helen A. Ganser Library, Millersville University, Millersville, PA 17551

Abstract

This study investigates the potential impact of open access pricing on institutional journal expenditures in four subject fields at nine American colleges and universities. Three pricing models are evaluated: the conventional model (the current subscription model), the PLoS open access model (based on the fees currently charged by the Public Library of Science), and the equal-revenue open access model (which maintains current levels of total aggregate spending within each subject field). Because institutional disparities in publishing productivity are far greater than Institutional disparities in library holdings, the shift from a subscription-based model to either open access model would bring dramatic cost savings for most colleges and universities. At the same time, a small number of institutions - the top research universities - would pay a far higher proportion of the total aggregate cost.

We apply a new bibliometric measure, the h-index (Hirsch, 2005), to the literature of information science. Faculty rankings based on raw citation counts are compared with those based on h-counts. There is a strong positive correlation between the two sets of rankings. We show how the h-index can be used to express the broad impact of a scholar’s research output over time in more nuanced fashion than straight citation counts.

Boekje 'Kennismanagement 2.0: de grote uitdaging' gereed.

Op de site van infomanagement is dit aardige boekje te bestellen.
In oktober 2006 was er over dit onderwerp een symposium en de lezingen zijn mooi ouderwets gebundeld, dus geen ppt. Met name de lezing van John Mackenzie Owen springt eruit: KM 2.0: de deprofessionalisering van kennismanagement. Een verademing na dat veelgeprezen boekje van Oldenkamp "Kennismanagement en gedragsverandering", uitgereikt tijdens de OLC. Daar kwam ik niet doorheen, wat een draak van een boek.
Volgens Mackenzie Owen zijn er geen nieuwe systemen en kennismanagers nodig, maar maak je gebruik van 2.0 faciliteiten die er zijn.  En de informatieprofessional kan beter zo snel mogelijk transparant worden.

Nog een interessante tip:
Gerard Bierens heeft een mooie bijdrage voor het Handboek effectief opleiden geschreven over kennismanagement, kennisportals en web 2.0. en dat hoofdstuk online  gezet. Dat las ik ergens in een weblog en zo blijven we elkaar citeren. maar mocht je het nog niet gelezen hebben, het is zeer de moeite waard. Boeken over kennismanagement voor 2005 kunnen weg. Zijn verouderd.
Op de e-learning themasite vind je ook veel relevante artikelen over web 2.0.

The rise and rise of citation analysis

'With the vast majority of scientific papers now available online, the author describes how the Web is allowing physicists and information providers to measure ore accurately the impact of these papers and their authors. Provides a historical background of citation analysis, ISI's citation databases, and the impact factor. Discusses the strengths and weaknesses of Web of Science and other more recent citation data sources (e.g., Scopus and Google Scholar), the impact of the Web on citation analysis, and the emergence of new citation-based research assessment measures (e.g., h-index). Argues that the use of multiple Web-based citation tools allows more accurate visualizations of scholarly communication networks. Also argues that publishing a journal article is now only the first step in disseminating one's work. '

The Changing Library: What Clinicians Need to Know

The Changing Library: What Clinicians Need to Know
PAULINE S. BEAM, .LAURA M. SCHIMMING, ALAN B. KRISSOFF, AND LYNN K. MORGAN

Mount Sinai Journal of Medicine 2006 ;  73 (6) : 857-863

Abstract
Over the last two decades, changes in technology have allowed academic medical center libraries to bring the world of biomedical information to the physician’s computer desktop. Because digital libraries have grown so rapidly and in so many ways, some clinicians may be uncertain about the services and resources that are available to them. This article explains how clinical faculty can best utilize their library to support their research and patient care. It addresses some of the most common myths about the “new” medical library, and it highlights innovations in library resources and services that can help physicians to better access, use and manage medical information.

Key Words: Medical libraries, academic medical centers, internet, information services, librarians, physicians, professional practice, continuing medical education, information management.

Kennismanagement en gedragsverandering

Tijdens de OCN zag ik bij de stand van het tijdschrift Intellectueel Kapitaal een nieuw boek "Kennismanagement en gedragsverandering/ J.H. Oldenkamp | Paperback | Essentials | 9077252045". Tijdens de OCN in aanbieding voor 20 Euro (normaal 25 en voor NVB-leden 15% korting).  7 november uitgekomen!

Gedragsverandering is m.i. het belangrijkste struikelblok voor kennismanagmeent, dus ik was wel geinteresseerd en heb het besteld.

Nu kijk ik het 'even' na op Internet en wat blijkt: noch de site van IK noch die van de uitgever Essentials, noch die van mede-uitgevende instantie NVB (vernieuwde site!)maken melding van dit boek. Alleen bij Bruna, daar kun je het al wel bestellen.

Wikis, blogs and podcasts: Web 2.0 tools en het medisch onderwijs

Wikis, blogs and podcasts: a new generation of Web-based tools for virtual collaborative clinical practice and education
Maged N Kamel Boulos, Inocencio Maramba and Steve Wheeler
BMC Medical Education 2006, 6:41     doi:10.1186/1472-6920-6-41
 (Full-text op BioMed Central)

If effectively deployed, wikis, blogs and podcasts could offer a way to enhance students', clinicians' and patients' learning experiences, and deepen levels of learners' engagement and collaboration within digital learning environments. Therefore, research should be conducted to determine the best ways to integrate these tools into existing e-Learning programmes for students, health professionals and patients, taking into account the different, but also overlapping, needs of these three audience classes and the opportunities of virtual collaboration between them. Of particular importance is research into novel integrative applications, to serve as the "glue" to bind the different forms of Web-based collaborationware synergistically in order to provide a coherent wholesome learning experience.

Health literacy

Why is health literacy so critical?

Health literacy is an essential life skill for individuals:
It may help individuals seek and use information and take control over their health.

Health literacy is a public health imperative:
building health literacy improves overall population health.

Health literacy is an essential part of social capital:
low health literacy is a strong contributor to health inequalites.

Health literacy is a critical economic issue:
A US study estimated that low health literacy costs the US economy 73 billion dollars per year.

Interessant boek over EBM

Brown, M, et al. Evidence-based to value-based medicine. Uitgegeven door de American Medical Association, 2005.
Bespreking in het NtvG 2006; 150: 1366.
Op verdienstelijke wijze trachten de auteurs van dit boek een brug te slaan tussen enerzijds degenen die geneigd zijn vast te houden aan ‘hard’ bewijs van werkzaamheid, bij voorkeur verkregen met minimaal dubbelblind gerandomiseerd onderzoek, en anderzijds patiënten en beleidsmakers, die ieder vanuit hun eigen perspectief, dagelijks geconfronteerd worden met keuzen in medische interventies. Het zogenaamd harde bewijs geeft veelal zeer beperkt informatie over juist die uitkomsten die voor patiënten en beleidsmakers relevant zijn. Dat wil zeggen: concrete verbeteringen in kwaliteit en (langere) duur van leven en de daarvoor benodigde middelen. Uiteraard onderschrijven de auteurs dat bewijs van werkzaamheid van hoge kwaliteit moet zijn, maar zij stellen dat al te dogmatisch vasthouden aan het daarmee samenhangende beperkte perspectief ertoe leidt dat vele urgente en relevante beslissingen nooit genomen kunnen worden.

Wat is Google nu weer van plan?

Aardig artikel uit de ALA hoek:

What’s Google up to now? Online resources for keeping up with Google and search engines. Steven J. Bell and Michael J. Krasulski

C&RL News, September 2006 Vol. 67, No.8

' Google is a whirlwind of innovation. In the period between April and June 2006, Google introduced Google Calendar, Google Notebook, Google Trends, Google Checkout, Google Spreadsheet, and a new version of Google Desktop with Google Gadgets. All the while Google continues to tinker with its flagship search product. With nearly 50 percent of the market, Google is the dominant force on the search engine landscape. Because of this, no matter how you personally feel about Google as a librarian, the one position that none of us can afford to take is choosing to ignore what Google is doing and plans to do. Put simply, librarians need to be Google experts.'

The use of free resources in a subscription-based digital library

The use of free resources in a subscription-based digital library: a case study of the North Carolina AHEC Digital Library
Mary Beth Schell
Full-text op Biomedical digital libraries

' The only free resource capturing a significant number of link outs is the free link to PubMed. This reflects the importance placed on traditional medical literature searching by the ADL clinical user base. Institutional affiliates access free resources through the ADL with the second highest frequency of all the user groups. Finally, in analyzing use of free resources, it is important to note the overall limitations of this survey. While link outs are excellent indicators of frequency of use they do not provide any information about the ultimate usefulness of the resource being accessed. Further studies would need to examine not only the quantitative use of resources, but also their qualitative importance to the user. '

Three options for citation tracking: Google Scholar, Scopus and Web of Science

By Nisa Bakkalbasi, Kathleen Bauer, Janis Glover and Lei Wang

Background: Researchers turn to citation tracking to find the most influential articles for a particular topic, and to see how often their own published papers are cited. For years researchers looking for this type of information had only one resource to consult: the Web of Science. In 2004, two competitors emerged - Scopus and Google Scholar. The research reported here uses citation analysis in an observational study examining these three databases; comparing citation counts for articles from two disciplines (oncology and condensed matter physics) and two years (1993 and 2003). Methods: Eleven journal titles with varying impact factors were selected from each discipline (oncology and condensed matter physics) using the Journal Citation Reports (JCR). All articles published in the selected titles were retrieved for both years, and a stratified random sample of articles was chosen, resulting in four sets of articles. During the week of November 7-12, 2005 we extracted the citation counts for each research article from the three sources. The actual citing references for a subset of the articles published in 2003 were also gathered from each of the three sources. Results: For oncology 1993, Web of Science returned the highest average number of citations, 45.3. Scopus returned the highest average number of citations (8.9) for oncology 2003. Web of Science returned the highest number of citations for condensed matter physics 1993 and 2003 (22.5 and 3.9 respectively). The data showed a significant difference in the mean citation rates between all pairs of resources except between Google Scholar and Scopus for condensed matter physics 2003. For articles published in 2003, Google Scholar returned the largest amount of unique citing material for oncology and Web of Science returned the most for condensed matter physics. Conclusions: This study did not identify any one of these three resources as the answer to all citation tracking needs. Scopus showed strength in providing citing literature for 2003 oncology articles, while Web of Science produced more citing material for 2003 and 1993 condensed matter physics, and 1993 oncology articles. Unique material was returned by all three tools. Our data indicate that the question of which tool provides the most complete set of citing literature may depend on the subject and publication year of a given article.

Purchasing online journal access for a hospital medical library

By Thomas P Carter, Anne O Carter and Gwendolyn Broomes

Background: Medical practice today requires evaluating large amounts of information which should be available at all times. This information is found most easily in a digital form. Some information has already been evaluated for validity (secondary sources) and some is in unevaluated form (primary sources). In order to improve access to digital information, the School of Clinical Medicine and Research at the University of the West Indies and Queen Elizabeth Hospital decided to enhance the library by offering online full text medical articles and evidence based medicine sources. The aim of this paper is to describe how we evaluate the relative value of online journal commercial products available for a small hospital and medical school library. Methods: Three reference standards were chosen to represent the ideal list of core publications for a broad range of medical care: Brandon/Hill selected list of journals for the small medical library and the academic medical library core journal collection chosen for the Florida State University College of Medicine Medical Library. Six commercially available collections were compared to the reference standards and to the current paper journal subscription list as regards to number of journals matched and cost per journal matched. Ease of use and presence of secondary sources were also considered. Results: The cost per journal matched ranged from US$ 81 to $3194. Because of their low subscription prices, the Biomedical Reference Collection and Proquest products were the most cost beneficial. However, they provided low coverage of the ideal lists.(12 -17% and 21-32% respectively) and contained significant embargoes on current editions, were not user friendly and contained no secondary sources. The Ovid products overcame these difficulties, providing higher coverage of the ideal lists(14-47%) but were in a much higher cost -benefit range. Conclusions: After considering costs, benefits, ease of use, embargoes, presence of secondary sources (ACP Journal Club, DARE), the Ovid Brandon Hill Plus Collection was the best choice for our hospital considering our budget . However; the option to individually select our own journal list from Ovid and pay per journal has a certain appeal as well.

Incorporating evidence based medicine (EBM) into clinical practice requires clinicians to learn to efficiently gain access to clinical evidence and effectively appraise its validity. Even using current electronic systems, selecting literature-based data to solve a single patient-related problem can require more time than practicing physicians or residents can spare. Clinical librarians, as informationists, are uniquely suited to assist physicians in this endeavor.

Zoeken op het web

Er is een tweede druk uit van het boek 'zoeken op internet' van Marten Hofstede. Deze komt niet in druk uit: alleen elektronisch.  Zie de informatie van IP online, en ook wat Wow!ter erover schrijft.

Dit boek is een absolute aanrader.

(maar 326 pagina's printen? ik zag juist een weblog over de 17% niet gelezen printjes http://tweakers.net/nieuws/42197/17-procent-geprinte-paginas-nooit-gebruikt.html ... maar even over denken hoe dat aan te pakken ;-))
