| 03 | TI Award: Delivery of Clinical Information Tools via Internet to Handheld Devices | Technology Improvement Award: "Delivery of Clinical Information Tools via Internet to Handheld Devices of Clinical Practitioners" The Library Services Department of Allina Hospitals and Clinics (Allina) is a multi-site, multi-hospital unit that serves more than 2000 physicians in four Twin Cities metro area hospitals, 11 regional hospitals, and numerous owned and affiliated clinics. Many practitioners in the Allina environment are acquiring and using hand-held devices, but have expressed frustration and disappointment to Library Services and Information Services (IS) staff about the barriers to use within the network. The objective is to provide an obstacle free method of distributing the already licensed content from the library's electronic resources to mobile handheld devices for use at point of care and in training and education. As a result, all Knowledge Consultants will possess equipped hand-held devices to take to training and orientation sessions; clinic physicians will download and use tools not currently available at point of care; and hospital practitioners will have a full set of electronic resources that can be updated regularly upon visit to the library. The funds from this grant will be used to purchase two complete multi-media personal computer workstations, infrared and cradle syncing accessories compatible with current Allina standard purchase models. The workstations will be installed in the library and will be used to download, test, install, and upgrade hand-held versions of licensed electronic clinical information to be used by hospital and clinic based practitioners. The initial service will be offered to the staff of units already using hand-held devices, e.g. medical education residency programs, emergency room physicians, and the hospitalist and intensivist staffs. | Allina Hospitals and Clinics | 2002-12-04 to 2003-12-31 | 5000 |
| 03 | TI Award: Enhanced Service Options for Document Delivery and Interlibrary Loan | Technology Improvement Award: The Bio-Medical Library intends to expand and enhance the use of electronic delivery.

Therefore, the Bio-Medical Library is applying for this grant to purchase a high-volume scanner, Ariel software, and a computer workstation. This equipment and software would be used to provide widespread electronic delivery and receipt of articles and other documents both from the library's collection and through Interlibrary Loan. Primary clients using PhotoDelivery and Interlibrary Loan Borrowing, and secondary clients using Interlibrary Loan Lending, are the target groups. The library’s intent is to expand current electronic delivery in a thoughtful and controlled progression in order to meet the project's goals and objectives and assure anticipated outcomes. | University of Minnesota, Twin Cities | 2002-12-04 to 2003-12-31 | 5000 |

Both consumer and clinical health information on the research, prevention and treatment of suicide will be presented. The partnership of UK MCL and HOB will allow both organizations the ability to expand the delivery of library outreach services that they provide to the citizens of Kentucky as well as reach a population not previously targeted. After consulting with various professionals regarding the suggested approach to take with this particular topic, it was decided that due to the complex and critical nature of the subject matter (suicide) the clinical staff will be targeted directly for project training activities with the intent that the information sources can then be disseminated to the consumer through means considered appropriate by the mental health specialists. | University of Kentucky | 2004-04-01 to 2005-09-30 | 39946 |

The MITBC provides library content and services to the print-impaired population, largely seniors, in central and northwest Illinois. With Project HEALTHY the two collaborating organizations will utilize the expertise of UI College of Medicine personnel and other area health professionals to plan, produce, distribute, and archive topical presentations and discussions. The presentations/discussions will originate as online group meetings, using the iVocalize system (www.ivocalize.com), which enables simultaneous voice-over-IP group conversations, text chat, web co-browsing, and multimedia presentations. Participants will be able to listen to and explore health topics of interest to seniors, and then be able to ask questions of the experts. By using this flexible new technology, the two organizations will reach a broader audience of seniors, regardless of their location within the state of Illinois, income level, mobility, transportation options, or access to media. This new system also makes it easy to record, redistribute, and archive programs, discussions, and multimedia presentations. | Alliance Library System | 2004-04-01 to 2005-09-30 | 9850 |

This leads to inappropriate or ineffective utilization of emergency health resources that can have serious consequences. The content for the proposed multimedia files is derived from written materials that were produced by the Refugee Division of the Minnesota Department of Health, Refugee Guide to Health. The written materials will be reformatted into one page written handouts, audio files and multimedia) versions. These files will be posted on the Healthy Roads Media Web site (www.healthyroadsmedia.org) and be freely available for download. This project will also continue to work collaboratively with North Dakota State University (NDSU) library staff and evaluation experts on ongoing efforts with local agencies to help with implementation issues that arise in using these resources, provide staff training, and evaluate the project. | Family HealthCare Center | 2004-04-01 to 2005-03-31 | 10000 |

| 04 | Resource Library Health Outreach Kiosks | Individuals living with HIV/AIDS in Utah report that their top three barriers to health education services, including access to electronic health information, are transportation, cost, and not knowing where to find such services. The Utah AIDS Foundation (UAF) seeks to address this situation by installing four internet Health Kiosks in locations where individuals living with HIV/AIDS already congregate to receive HIV-related services (two HIV-specific medical clinics and one homeless day center). Health Kiosks will default to UAF’s HIV Resource Library Web site, which was developed with NLM funding, in partnership with a Regional Medical Library, the Spencer Eccles Health Sciences Library at the University of Utah. The HIV Resource Library Web site contains an extensive collection of electronic HIV-specific health related information, with particular emphasis on NLM-developed information resources including MedlinePlus and Clinicaltrials.gov, as well as links to local HIV-specific services, information, and resources, like the state’s AIDS Drug Assistance Program and local Ryan White Title II and III providers. This project also seeks to implement an aggressive training program for users of the Health Kiosks. By training physicians and office staff at the proposed Health Kiosk locations to help consumers understand the resources available through the kiosks, as well as providing trained volunteers to assist consumers in spontaneous one-on-one sessions as they attempt to use the kiosks, this project seeks to arm consumers with the skills, tools, and confidence they need to use the Health Kiosks to seek out critical HIV and health-related knowledge that can positively impact their lives and health. | Utah AIDS Foundation | 2004-10-01 to 2005-09-30 | 38406 |

| 04 | PDA in Healthcare Education and Practice | Mary Lanning Memorial Hospital (MLMH) library has a vital role in central Nebraska, since this is the only hospital library west of Lincoln, NE, with one full time staff person and four student assistants covering evening and weekend hours. It serves the student population from the Creighton University School of Nursing – Mary Lanning campus and the Mary Lanning School of Radiologic Technology, as well as the employees of the hospital. As the only fully staffed medical library in the region, we have greater responsibility to the community and health-care professionals in recognizing the need to explore new technologies to enhance teaching and learning. MLMH library is seeking funding through this grant to educate the librarian, faculty and staff in using the PDA. As an ongoing project, the library will offer workshops and training sessions for physicians and all hospital employees to explore the full capabilities of the PDA. The goal of the project is to increase the knowledge in the use of PDAs, with a focus on enhancing teaching and learning through the exploration of instructional uses of personal digital assistants for the faculty. | Mary Lanning Hospital | 2004-10-01 to 2006-04-30 | 5000 |
| 04 | Timely Texts 24/7 | Current library intranet resources include databases such as PubMed, MedlinePlus, Cochrane, CINAHL and ProQuest Nursing Journals. Other links have been made to free dictionaries, directories and health-related web sites. Medical and nursing staff members have expressed a strong interest in access to online decision tools and online textbooks. The purpose of this technology project is to add online textbooks to meet these requests. Due to the current budget situation, the library will be unable to add these items until the 2005/2006 budget cycle at the earliest. The opportunity to provide online resources in a timelier manner would meet the patron’s need, create possible financial savings, enhance the library’s technology image, as well as provide a strategy to evaluate the online products and their impact. Much of the groundwork for marketing and implementation is already in place. The online textbooks technology project will allow the library to provide resources to make a quick and powerful impact in the organization, enhancing the library’s image as a team player and health information leader. | Stormont-Vail HealthCare | 2004-10-01 to 2006-04-30 | 5000 |

| 07 | Access to Electronic Health Information: Verde Valley and Yavapai County Outreach | The Objectives of this project are to provide educational sessions, especially "Train-the-Trainers" at each of the partner sites. It is also the goal to provide information to the other target audiences regarding the services that are provided by the partner sites, especially VVMC medical library. The rationale for this project is to help direct the consumer to quality health information provided by quality sites such as MedlinePlus and PubMed. Currently, the public libraries will show the patron where the medical information is located but will not help them to research their particular needs. The Verde Valley Guidance Center and Catholic Social Services currently do not provide this service to their patrons. The First Steps program currently uses MedlinePlus for consumer health information. The expected results of this project will be to provide more sites where consumers can access the necessary health information. | Verde Valley Medical Center | 2004-09-01 to 2006-02-28 | 32392 |

| 04 | Go Local Missouri | In 2004, Missouri became the second state to offer Go Local links from MedlinePlus. The Missouri model uses an existing database, Community Connection, (http://www.communityconnection.org) which contains information on community resources in Missouri and surrounding counties. While the Community Connection database is an excellent source for links to organizations, agencies and government units, to date no systematic attempt has been made to identify health related support groups. Since support groups are one of the most important reasons why a health consumer might want to “Go Local,” this aspect of the database will be developed in two ways: 1) by hiring a half-time graduate library student devoted to identifying and recommending resources to add to the community connection database; 2) by enlisting the help of local specialists; contact people around the state who can recommend nearby organizations and support groups from their part of the state. Community Connection is “a central source with decentralized control,” meaning that each organization is responsible for entering and editing their own records in the database. With so many individuals entering data, indexing consistency can be compromised. A half-time graduate library student will be hired to review existing database records to ensure that all organizations of a given type, e.g. nursing homes, are similarly indexed to ensure consistent retrieval. | University of Missouri, Columbia | 2005-04-01 to 2006-03-31 | 24239 |

| 03 | Consumer Health Award: Libraries as a Leading Resource for Community Poison Prevention Education | Consumer Health Award: Families are increasingly turning to librarians as a resource for health care information — the Illinois Poison Center (IPC) wants to leverage this trend to raise awareness of the IPC and to provide poison prevention education to young children and their parents. Libraries have a natural built-in audience of families with young children, which until now has been an untapped by the IPC. The Consumer Health Award from NN/LM GMR gives the IPC the opportunity for the first time to utilize this resource. Our objective is to educate librarians on how they can weave poison prevention messages into their programming starting with National Poison Prevention Week, March 19-26, 2006. IPC will provide librarians with a comprehensive tool kit with educational materials, activities for children and a promotional card so that librarians and parents alike can register online to become poison prevention volunteers. Community volunteers are vital to the long-term success of the IPC’s poison prevention program, so that in turn, the IPC can help parents to keep their children safe from poisons and other hazards in the home. Volunteers will receive information regarding online health information such as IllinoisPoisonCenter.org and National Library of Medicine products.

By training library staff, the library will be able to offer reference assistance to patrons at the library. The ultimate result would be an expansion of consumer health information services in this rural community. | Charlevoix Public Library | 2005-06-01 to 2006-04-30 | 10000 |

| 03 | Exhibit Award: Libraries: Helping Grow Minds - Michigan Library Association Annual Conference | Exhibit Award: Borgess Library’s exhibit for the Michigan Health Sciences Libraries Association at "Libraries: Helping Grow Minds" the Michigan Library Association Annual Conference. This is an important audience for the NN/LM’s message, because public librarians serve on the “front lines” and are often the consumer’s first point of contact for health information. Our goal in presenting a joint GMR/MHSLA exhibit is to help our librarian colleagues access and assess quality consumer health information. The National Library of Medicine leads the world in providing excellent information resources, free on the Internet. Staff in Michigan’s public, academic, and school libraries will benefit from exposure to all that NLM has to offer. Along with promoting NLM’s products and services, MHSLA welcomes the opportunity to raise our own visibility. We are eager to collaborate with professionals in other libraries, to lend expertise and share resources with an aim toward promoting health literacy in our state. We will spotlight the many MHSLA member libraries which have consumer health collections that are open to the public. | Michigan Health Sciences Libraries Association | 2005-10-25 to 2005-10-28 | 1947 |

| 03 | TI Award: From Print to Pixels: Digitizing History of Medicine Materials | Technology Improvement Award: The Ebling Library maintains one of the preemmient collections of primary and secondary sources of medicine and health sciences in the country. Some of these materials are very fragile and require limited access in order to preserve them for future generations. Other of these materials are uncatalogued and underutilized. The potential of digitization to open these materials to the world is an opportunity that is as yet untapped at the Ebling Library. Our goal is to enable the educator, researcher, and general public to maximize their use of our historical materials, to inspire them to partner with others to share information and to empower them to search their own collections to find materials to share with the world. Together we may have an opportunity to advance knowledge and to have a positive impact on the practice of medicine. | University of Wisconsin Madison | 2005-06-01 to 2006-04-30 | 4594 |

| 03 | Outreach Project Award: Educating Public Health Departments about Library Resources | Outreach Project Award: This is a pilot project to build relationships between the Winnebago County Public Health Department (WCPHD) and the UIC Crawford Library of the Health Sciences (CLHS). There is a need for the health professionals affiliated with the WCPHD to locate resources and develop a guide to help them serve their population using PubMed, MedlinePlus, CDC resources, evidence-based resources and others. We have identified a need for training on how to use the resources, identifying the best resources to use, developing quick guides to the resources, and obtaining the articles, books, and other materials identified though the searches. Secondary concerns are materials in a language other than English and at a reading level below fifth grade. | University of Illinois, Chicago | 2006-03-01 to 2006-04-30 | 4999 |

| 04 | Regional Community Health Information Outreach Symposium | Effective community health information outreach is an important initiative to reduce health disparities. In order to make inroads, it will take more than RML staff. Organizations and libraries may need to increase their knowledge of their importance in providing access to health information in their communities. In addition, it is often difficult for libraries and agencies to recognize who their best community allies are for this outreach. The symposium is one of the steps toward building a critical mass of individuals and agencies promoting and providing health information access for communities and community organizations. Objectives The NN/LM MCR foresees the following outcomes as a result of the regional symposium. These are not immediate outcomes but long term results for which the seeds will be planted at this meeting. 1. More public libraries will offer health information outreach projects. 2. More health sciences libraries will target a community based organization for outreach services. 3. More health sciences libraries will offer services to their communities. 4. More health sciences libraries and public libraries will partner in community outreach efforts. 5. More community outreach efforts will incorporate evaluation. | University of Wyoming | 2005-05-01 to 2006-03-31 | 56000 |

| 03 | TI Award: Equipment Upgrade for the Southeast Clinical Campus Librarian | Technology Improvement Award entitled, “Equipment Upgrade for the Southeast Clinical Campus Librarian” for the University of North Dakota Harley E. French Library of the Health Sciences in Fargo in the amount of $4,787 for February 1 – April 30, 2006. My project will update and add to the equipment available for the Southeast Clinical Campus Librarian/UND School of Medicine and Health Sciences. While I currently have an adequate laptop computer and monochrome printer, I lack flexibility that would be available through upgrading of the equipment. Since I am not at the main campus library, I am dependent on the generosity of others in the School of Medicine’s SE Campus Center for letting me use their computer projector, scanner and speakerphone. I am very involved in providing instructional sessions that directly support the medical curriculum on our campus and the majority of my time is spent teaching and preparing instructional materials. Since I serve clients over a great geographical area, the ability to provide instruction and support in a wide variety of formats is crucial. Within the Fargo area, I travel weekly to hospitals and other facilities to provide instruction on access to health care information through utilization of NLM/NNLM resources. I use my office extensively for working with individuals and small groups. The requested new equipment will allow me to do my job more efficiently and provide new opportunities for outreach and instruction with my clients. | University of North Dakota | 2005-02-01 to 2006-04-30 | 4787 |

| 03 | Outreach Express: Promoting NLM and Wegner Ctr Resources | Outreach Express Award:Promoting NLM and Wegner Center Resources to Healthcare and Information Professionals in South Dakota The Wegner Center continues to search for opportunities to educate health professionals and the public on ways to find quality health information. Professional conferences are appropriate and effective avenues for sharing information about NLM and Wegner Center resources and services. This proposal requests funds to cover exhibitor fees for important South Dakota professional conferences. Also, to meet the growing demands for the Wegner Center to exhibit, it is imperative to purchase a tabletop backdrop to complement the one owned by the Wegner Center. Another exhibit more adequately supports the library when two exhibiting opportunities occur simultaneously. Exhibit fees and materials are expensive, but support from the NN/LM-GMR enables the Wegner Center to leverage in-house funds and respond more effectively and efficiently to outreach opportunities. Conference attendees will be asked to complete a questionnaire to asses their knowledge of quality patient education and consumer health resources (for instance, MedlinePlus). Respondents will form a pool which the Wegner Center can use to create focus groups to identify more in-depth information needs. Work with these focus groups will enhance the Wegner Center’s ability to develop and deliver effective outreach programs in South Dakota. | Wegner Health Science Information Center | 2007-06-01 to 2008-05-31 | 4900 |

| 01 | PaLA Conference- October 14-17, 2007 Consumer Health Information and Public Libraries: Recognizing | This interactive poster session is geared to librarians and library staff attending the PaLA conference. Poster sessions attract librarians and library staff that are looking for ways to improve library services. This makes them an ideal population to target and market quality consumer health resources. There is an increasingly older population both using libraries and working in libraries. That generation is now facing health problems due to aging. Consequently, this group is seeking information via the Internet and through the reference services of their public library. Promoting quality consumer health info to those who serve the public is a great way to- improve the quality of health information in the hands of the public to make informed health decisions and improve the reference skills of librarians, encouraging the use and promotion of resources such as MedlinePlus. | Albright Memorial Library | 2007-10-04 to 2008-01-04 | 500 |

This project covers three primary components: staff sensitivity training, a health-information needs assessment, and customized instructional sessions. The staff sensitivity training, conducted by members of the Ann Arbor Center for Independent Living, will give the Health Sciences Libraries staff a foundation for improved communication and appropriate instructional practice for working with the local population with disabilities. A series of customized, in-person instructional sessions will be developed to address the assessed health information needs of the population. These sessions will seek to increase awareness and improve access to vital health information, while considering the unique needs of the population with disabilities. This project will also indirectly support the Ann Arbor Commission for Disability Issues and their goal for obtaining the national designation of a ‘disability friendly community.” | University of Michigan, Ann Arbor | 2007-11-01 to 2008-10-31 | 11983 |
| 03 | Consumer Health Subcontract: Great Rivers Partners for Health-E People | The goal of the following proposal is to raise awareness of health literacy in our communities. To reach our health practitioners, we will design a brief online course that will give them strategies for quickly assessing the level of health literacy in their patients. It will also provide them with some methods for determining patient understanding. It will incorporate a brief evaluation for each person taking the course. To reach our consumer population, we will develop a DVD based on the AskMe3 principles. The DVD will be available online, from the same website as the practitioner online course, but we will also take it to various locations and present it to consumer groups. We will also use it to train information providers (public librarians, Great Rivers 2-1-1 staff, literacy instructors, etc.) so they will be able to make the proper referrals and so they will be knowledgeable in communicating in plain language about health issues. We will also develop a small booklet for patients to take with them anytime they visit with a health practitioner: doctor, nurse, dentist, pharmacist, therapist, etc. It will contain the AskMe3 questions, allow for medication information, and personal medical information. It will be distributed by practitioners, libraries, pharmacies, senior centers, nursing homes, etc. | Gundersen Lutheran Medical Center | 2008-03-01 to 2009-08-31 | 34995 |

The event will be advertised to HealthOutreach members through the quarterly HealthOutreach newsletter and will be open to residents of surrounding community. HealthOutreach and The Myra Mahon Patient Resource Center sought to organize this event to help address the enormous healthcare needs of the older adult group. With chronic illness ubiquitous and the healthcare dollar so high, we propose that this group be informed about symptom recognition and treatment options, and to become better informed about their health through access to trusted and reliable health information. The event will focus on promoting healthy, active living by providing health screenings and health information. We are seeking to improve this group of older adults access to health information and resources to enable them to become more active participants in their health care decisions. | The Myra Mahon Patient Resource Center | 2007-10-23 to 2007-11-30 | 1180 |
| 01 | Community Health Fairs | Exhibiting at community health fairs is the most effective way of reaching out to our target population. Queens Library is very accessible. HealthLink is a five year initiative which purposes to increase access to cancer screening and care among medically underserved communities in Queens. Its staff often participates in fairs to share information about its services. While attending fairs, it is easier for people with questions about cancer to pick up printed resources with the benefit of anoymity that community fairs give to atendees. We want to use the award to purchase magnets and pens that will have the American Cancer Society phone number to encourage Queens residents to call to obtain referrals or general information.This technique will serve two purposes, as an incentive to stop at the exhibit table and to increase awareness of how accessible information about cancer is. | Queens Library | 2007-09-10 to 2007-12-31 | 500 |

Immunization rates in Kansas jumped from 43rd to 12th over a four year period thanks to the success of the KSWebIZ immunization registry system and the Immunize Kansas Kids Program. Kansas ranked 17th in the United Health Foundation’s America’s Health Rankings report and showed the fourth highest improvement in ratings from 2005. In Healthy Kansans 2010, Governor Sebelius issued “a call for all Kansans – individuals, health professionals, communities, businesses, state and local organizations – to partner together in implementing community-wide and systems-wide changes for improving our health.” (Sebelius, Bremby, Rodenberg, 2007, p. 29) This is exactly what Go Local Kansas will do. Kansas ranks sixth among the states for percentage of residents who smoke; Go Local Kansas will facilitate an even larger increase in the number of residents calling the Kansas Tobacco Quit Line. The health ranking of the state of Kansas will continue to improve due to quick and easy access to local healthcare resources via Go Local Kansas. Objectives: Go Local Kansas database is created and made available. Go Local Kansas puts local information in the hands of the residents of Kansas at the point of need, facilitating better, more informed healthcare decisions. | State Library of Kansas | 2008-01-01 to 2009-06-30 | 25000 |

| 01 | Small Project Award- Let Me Show You How It's Done! | To better inform patrons of what the librarians are doing, Albert Einstein College of Medicine applied for an award to purchase a year subscription of Glance software. Glance is a screen-sharing software that allows librarians to display their computer desk tops to their patrons. Patrons can view this display through their web browsers without having to install software or configure anything on their end. The audio component would be via telephone. When librarians use the Glance program, patrons will be able to see the features of research tools and databases in action, instead of just hearing descriptions of the steps involved. Librarians will be able to use this tool in several ways. They will provide one-on-one assistance to patrons as needed. They will conduct demos and formal group training for patrons at another location, or to groups of patrons connecting from several different remote locations. | Albert Einstein College of Medicine | 2008-03-13 to 2008-06-18 | 957 |

| 06 | Promotion of the New MEDICOR Region-Wide Health Information Portal | The Spokane County Medical Society (SCMS) has recently launched an Internet-hosted, region-wide health information portal called MEDICOR. This single sign-on, remotely accessible library portal offers area physicians (phase one) a convenient way to search and retrieve information from a diverse range of free and proprietary electronic health resources useful in treating patients at the point-of-care. Licensed resources of three health systems are now remotely available through a single point of entry and authentication: 1) Empire Health Services (Spokane), 2) Sacred Heart Medical Center Children's Hospital (Spokane), and 3) Kootenai Health (Idaho, still under development). Extensive outreach services will be necessary to raise awareness of this valuable information resource as well as train physicians on its features and functionality. Through a comprehensive awareness, education and training program developed for physicians and administrators -- which will emphasize remote accessibility, the features and functionality of the MEDICOR information portal, and the availability and use of NLM-produced or sponsored resources -- a ten-month outreach effort will substantially increase the number of physicians in the Spokane geographic region who routinely access, search, retrieve and apply quality health care information to patient care. | Spokane County Medical Society | 2008-05-01 to 2009-02-28 | 12000 |
| 06 | Building Capacity for Quality Health Information in School Communities | The Coordinated School Health (CSH) model, developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, provides a structure for integrating health across eight components of school life in order to assure that children are healthy and ready to learn. In Washington State, the Healthy Schools, Successful Students website (www.healthyschoolswa.org) is an important, accessible and comprehensive vehicle for providing tools, information and support to all individuals involved in CSH. The web site has been developed, pre-tested, evaluated and managed by the Center for Public Health Nutrition (CPHN) and currently receives over 2,300 visits per month. Website links will target the leading adolescent health behaviors contributing to death and disability: physical inactivity; poor nutrition; tobacco use; sexual risk taking; alcohol and other drug use and injury and violence. This project proposes to promote MedlinePlus through the Healthy Schools website and workshops to provide health professionals, administrators, librarians, health educators, and other stakeholders working with K-12 schools throughout the state with increased access to quality health information. Workshops will be conducted at a minimum of four conferences and visits to two or three school districts. Proposals for workshops will be submitted for the Washington Library Media Association in October 2008 in Portland, Oregon; and the Washington Joint Conference on Health in October 2008 in Yakima. This project targets school nurses, school librarians and health educators in school districts throughout the state. Due to the nature of their work, these professionals can individually benefit from the tools and information, disseminate the information to impact Washington’s 1.1 million school age children and promote awareness and use of MedlinePlus to colleagues, community members, other health professionals, parents and students. | Center for Public Health Nutrition | 2008-05-01 to 2009-04-30 | 12000 |

When we are charged for an article, it requires a multi-step process for payment, both on the part of the sending library, as well as on our part. Belonging to the EFTS will streamline this payment process, with the EFTS handling it for us. Statements of our account will be available on a daily basis, so that we can monitor our usage of the system. This will save considerable time, and therefore, money. Let this serve as a letter of support for the grant that SJH is applying for to allow us to have access to funds for electronic transfer of payment for articles that we will access. SJH is actively using the library online access system to help us in our continual efforts to participate in evidence based nursing practice and medicine as well as actively pursuing research. | South Jersey Healthcare | 2008-09-30 to 2009-09-30 | 200 |
| 01 | EFTS Award- Robert Morris University Library | (1) Meet with Dean of University Libraries and Head of Public Services to present in detail the concept of the Electronic Funds Transfer System (EFTS) in the context of Interlibrary Loan and document delivery services. This presentation will include a brief review of the history and sponsorship of EFTS by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) and the University of Connecticut Health Center Library. The benefits of participation in the 1200+ EFTS network will be explained in terms of improving Interlibrary Loan efficiencies through time savings, reduced invoice processing, fewer checks needing to be cut at a substanial internal cost, and more accurate record keeping. Once the benfits, credibility, and cost-effectiveness have been presented to our library administrators, it will be embraced as a sustainable and sensible approach to handling payment of DOCLINE transactions. (2) Once EFTS has been successfully implemented at the RMU Library, other members of the library's professional staff will be given a similar presentation at one of our regular informational meetings. (3) As part of the liaison responsibilities of the Health Sciences Librarian, faculty of the School of Nursing and Health Sciences will be updated on the utilization of EFTS through e-mail and possibly at a regularly scheduled faculty meeting. Support for establishing and sustaining a EFTS payment system for DOCLINE document delivery transactions has been pledged by both the Dean of Libraries (Fran Caplan) as well as the Head of Public Servcies (Christopher Devine) in several verbal communications with the Health Sciences/Interlibrary Loan Librarian. | Robert Morris University | 2008-09-30 to 2009-09-30 | 200 |
| 01 | EFTS Award- Saratoga Springs Public Library | Health information is a "growth" area in our library. The DOCLINE system facilitates the borrowing and lending of books and journal articles relating to current and complex health issues. The National Library of Medicine and other larger medical research institutions charge $11.00 per item. Participation in EFTS would allow sourcing of requests for books and articles to these reliable sources, and eliminate the need for using our library staff time for billing and payment. Most patrons looking for medical information to help them determine the best treatment want results quickly. Using Docline along with EFTS is a way of providing quality information as quickly as possible. | Saratoga Springs Public Library | 2008-09-30 to 2009-09-30 | 200 |
| 01 | EFTS Award- Hamot Medical Center | Being a small medical library , let administration know how important it is to improve the ease and cost-effectiveness of resource sharing throughout the region. How important is is to join this program to insure continuing networking capabilities and to continue our sharing efforts. | Hamot Medical Center | 2008-09-30 to 2009-09-30 | 200 |
| 01 | EFTS Award- Penn State University College of Medicine | The Harrell Library provides ILL services that charge back to the individual or department any related fees. Despite efforts to obtain items through reciprocal arrangements and from free lenders, this is a hardship for our students (medical, graduate, nursing). This award will allow us to provide ILL documents to students at a reduced cost and promote our services to this group of users; it may also determine if the current average cost of $11 is a barrier for this specific group's use of ILL services. Observations from this process may demonstrate our need to adjust current practices regarding this user population. | Pennsylvania State University | 2008-09-30 to 2009-09-30 | 500 |
| 01 | EFTS Award- Western Pennsylvania Forbes Regional Campus Health Sciences | We have spent over $250 on ILL's for FY08. Our yearly budget is $300 and in order to keep under budget, 14% of our FY08 ILLs had to go unfilled due to cost. Our ILL requests have gone up 37% in FY08 and will likely continue to increase in FY09. Our journal collection has been reduced due to lack of space for back issues and over all library budget cuts. A number of new physicians are coming from a larger hospital system that has a larger library with more resources than we have at Forbes Regional and it is difficult to keep them actively using the library if we continually tell them we cannot get the articles they are requesting. | Western Pennsylvania Hospital - Forbes Regional Campus | 2008-09-30 to 2009-09-30 | 500 |
| 01 | EFTS Award- Trinitas Hospital | It would help us fulfill document requests we otherwise may deny due to budgetary restrictions. This funding would allow us some "wiggle room" and allow the library to offer more support ILL charge articles needed for patient care. | Trinitas Hospital | 2008-09-30 to 2009-09-30 | 200 |
| 01 | EFTS Award- Virtua Health - West Jersey Health Science Library | Virtua Health has embraced the EFTS system and recognizes its benefits with regard to reduced costs and increased efficiency. We anticipate the continued use of this system. However, the librarians at Virtua are pursuing marketing efforts and to date have completed eight (8) presentations on library resources to the nursing staff at Virtua. This is a previously underserved population here, and we anticipate that requests for our services will increase substantially. We have already seen many more requests from the nursing staff in just the past two months. As we continue our outreach program to the management and physicians at Virtua, we anticipate that requests for our services from those personnel will increase as well. Though we are trying to increase services, the budget for the Virtua libraries has not been increased for many years. We are currently facing cancellation of several information databases that were previously subsidized by the State of New Jersey which we will now have to purchase. Unfortunately Virtua is being forced to try to “do more†with less resources and may have to reduce the budget amount applicable to interlibrary loans. We do not want to have to inform our patrons that they must either pay for an article or go without the information necessary for patient care. An EFTS award stipend from the Middle Atlantic Region of the NN/LM would greatly assist in preservation of our resources. | Virtua Health- West Jersey Health Science Library | 2008-09-30 to 2009-09-30 | 500 |
| 01 | EFTS Award- Jameson Health System Library | This grant will give me the opportunity to the rationale and the necessity of the deposit account. Right now, since I do not have EFTS, I am limited to only FreeShare articles. he estimated unfilled requests is about 10 per year. | Jameson Health System Library | 2008-09-30 to 2009-09-30 | 200 |
| 01 | EFTS Award- St Francis Medical Library | Usage would be the key factor. Marketing the advantages of the resource sharing would be initiated. Information can be put on the Hospital Intranet and Physican newsletters. | St. Francis Hospital | 2008-09-30 to 2009-09-30 | 200 |
| 01 | EFTS Award- Holy Name Hospital | I will explain to them that the Accounts Payable department will not have to cut dozens of individual checks every month for $11.00 each. It was once told by a colleague that their the average cost to process one check was about $110.00 for their Accounts Payable department. We borrow for cost, 8% of the time. Which is approximately 4-6 every quarter. | Holy Name Medical Center | 2008-09-30 to 2009-09-30 | 200 |
| 01 | EFTS Award- St. Mary Medical Center | We use EFTS for ILL transactions on a weekly basis. I would estimate our EFTS costs for the past year at approximately $900. Our usage has gone up very sharply over the past 1-2 years, as the Library has been increasingly promoted to physicians and staff, and with that have come many more search and ILL requests. The level of service we are able to provide our users (with just a solo librarian) is due in large part to Docline and EFTS. We have an excellent reputation for our short turnaround times even for challenging documents. With continued growth, we are having to spend much more on EFTS transactions than our budget will allow, taking away from our purchasing power for other resources. This award would support nearly 50% of our transactions in a year and allow us to allocate our funds toward other resources as we move to an increasingly online environment. | Saint Mary Medical Center | 2008-09-30 to 2009-09-30 | 500 |
| 01 | EFTS Award-The Commonwealth Medical College | I will promote the EFTC grant to my administrators by introducing it as a transaction-based electronic billing system for interlibrary-loan (ILL) and document delivery. The National Library of Medicine (NLM) the University of Connecticut Health Center (UCHC) EFTS staff are interested in expanding the system on a national basis to National Network of Libraries of Medicine (NN/LM) member libraries. EFTS is a joint effort between the National Library of Medicine, the NN/LM, and the University of Connecticut Health Center/Lyman Maynard Stowe Library, which manages and maintains the system. The EFTS is used by health sciences libraries for processing payment of inter-library loan transactions. It centralizes this activity by electronically billing participants, which greatly reduces the need to create invoices and to write checks for reimbursement for interlibrary loans and document delivery amongst participants. EFTS virtually eliminates the need to create invoices and write cheques for reimbursement for interlibrary loans and document delivery between participants. Other advantages of participation include monthly detailed transaction reports, the ability to handle charges for rush or fax service, the ability to vary charges to members of special groups, and the ability to handle non-DOCLINE transactions. | The Commonwealth Medical College | 2008-09-30 to 2009-09-30 | 200 |
| 01 | EFTS Award- New York Methodist Hospital | 1. Interlibrary borrowing is the most widely recognized library service by our hospital staff. We have only to get one or two articles for someone in need, and he or she is our library friend for life. 2. We do not charge any of our users for this service. The annual budget for the library must cover the entire expense. While the number of loans remains fairly steady, the library budget for non professional expenses was cut in 2006 and again in 2007. Even with an extensive free share policy, our pool of money to pay for ILL loans has diminished. | New York Methodist Hospital | 2008-09-30 to 2009-09-30 | 500 |

| 01 | Planning Award- Learn More. Live Healthy! Consumer Health Project | Our intention is to provide evidence that consumer health information to our community would improve the quality of information patients and clinicians have access to and thereby improve patient care. We will need to develop a strategic plan to achieve this goal. The planning process will involve information gathering, meetings, needs assessments, developing and administrating surveys, and writing objectives for our project. This will enable us to write a grant proposal for a consumer health project. This project would fund three interns to assist the Downstate Librarians in the planning process. We will recruit both Library students and possibly Public health students from our newly formed School of Public Health. Involving students in our planning process will give them an opportunity to learn more about consumer health, health literacy and medical librarianship, hopefully intersting them in a career in medical librarianship. | SUNY- Downstate Medical Research Library of Brooklyn | 2008-11-10 to 2010-01-01 | 15000 |

CLIC-on-Health brings together libraries, health organizations and associations, healthcare delivery systems, and educational institutions in order to provide all the people of the greater Rochester area with the high-quality healthcare information and resources they need to make wise lifestyle and healthcare choices. The project features: a web portal with information specific to Rochester health care as a one-stop shopping site for health information and training in the use of health information on the Internet. The planning grant will be used to determine the training needs of nurses in the Rochester, NY area, develop a preliminary curriculum, establish the most efficient means of providing the training, and identify project partners. The train-the-trainer model has been selected because it is believed that this will ensure that the project is sustainable.

The current proposal will extend these previous efforts and improve delivery of consumer health information through mobile, wireless services and devices. The specific focus of this effort will be women’s health including breast and cervical health. Results from previous research have shown improvement in early breast cancer screening and compliance with screening appointments. The proposed effort will continue to deliver electronic health (eHealth) information for American Indian women to make informed decisions on their health promotion, disease prevention and improve their health screening appointment compliance rates. | Santa Fe Indian Hospital | 2009-03-15 to 2010-02-28 | 5950 |

Current folders don't allow the information to be organized. For example; three information help sheets on PubMed are in a folder pocket with help sheets from seven other database resources, making it difficult to find the PubMed help sheets. I would like to catagorize the help sheets and make PubMed a distinct section with the PubMed Basics Help Sheet and two that I have created, one on Saving Searches and Setting up Journal Table of Contents; and the other on Finding full text articles through PubMed with LinkOut and Loansome Doc. | St. Luke's Cornwall Hospital | 2009-09-01 to 2010-02-01 | 1000 |

Customers are getting impatient or have to find other computers in the hospital that can meet their needs. They also have no workspace at the carrels as the old large CRT montors take up a significant amount of the desk space. To be able to provide a modern medical library with state-of-the-art equipment that is faster, more efficient, has more features/capabilities, and can run larger programs. To reduce waiting time by providing upgraded equipment that will expedite their work. To install flat screen monitors and vertical standing computers that will allow for more work space.

The HEALP goal is to enhance student health literacy by training librarians and student peer educators on how to appropriately access health care information in general, and information on health system utilization in particular. The school librarian will be the focal point for health knowledge and information and will work closely with the NYU Health Sciences Libraries, the NYU Center for Immigrant Health, and school administrators and guidance counselors to supervise a group of student peer educators to enable effective information dissemination. | New York University | 2009-05-06 to 2010-06-15 | 9964 |
| 01 | Health Literacy Award: A Health Literacy Curriculum: Tools and Strategies for Improving Health Com | This health literacy project continues the collaboration initiated by the Public Health Information Partners (PHIP) project, expands health literacy efforts at New York Medical College and in the Hudson Valley Region, and continues work with participants from the May 30, 2007 health literacy conference. The primary purpose of this project is to develop a curriculum with practical solutions for improving provider-patient communications in healthcare. To achieve this end we propose to train a cohort of health professionals and providers who self-identify their need for health literacy training and who are willing to apply specific tools and strategies for improving health communications in their own practice setting. Each trainee will be expected to train others, use or share applications, and/or participate via a moderated regional health literacy wiki and blog. Participants will receive a curriculum tool kit and earn continuing education credits. Participants from the May 2007 health literacy conference, the December 2008 Public Health Grand Rounds, and other established community collaborators will be invited to complete a preliminary needs assessment that focuses on training needed to improve provider to patient communication. Results from the assessment will guide development of two half-day educational sessions at which specific training on health literacy communication strategies will be provided. The project will be evaluated by follow-up with trainees. | New York Medical College | 2009-03-11 to 2011-02-28 | 20000 |

| 01 | Small Project Award: Listen and Learn | Pioneering a powerful new form of online communications, podcasting for educators has become an effective way of interacting with students outside of the traditional classroom. Our medical and nursing programs need to provide a method for the students to have access to the most recent published articles. They need access to Clinical Information that will assist them in treating patients. Podcasting has the capacity of advancing our student's and patron's education and gives them the tool necessary to better assist the primary attending in the delivery of patient care. This is an appropriate activity to the NN/LM outreach mission because our patrons will have another method to access our library resources. This provides a very good source of direct communication with our target audience, who wants to receive our audio broadcasts automatically, without the need to access our website. Podcasts include information on health resources, literature and resource guides,! navigating the library's new website, journal collection and evidence-based resources, UpToDate, as well as PubMed the Quick Way. The medical library will purchase 5 iPod touch 8GB along with the protective Griffin Reveal Case. The iPods will be available at the circulation desk for patron use. The primary activity objective is to increase the visibility of our library. The second objective is to provide the most accurate, up to date clinical information. Our first step is to create a Podbean Account to upload our audio podcasts, such as Navigating the Library's New Website. Secondly, we will need to link our podcasts to the library's RSS feed. Thirdly, we will subscribe to a number of specialty journals, such as, the New England Journal of Medicine and the Journal of the American Medical Association, so that the podcast will be readily available to our patrons. | The Lankenau Hospital Medical Library | 2009-09-28 to 2010-01-28 | 1000 |
| 01 | Small Project Award: Health Fair Table Skirt | We would like to achieve a more professional, consistent and recognizable presence in our outreach activites both in-house and in the community. Aligning our presence visually with Hospital logo and NLM-supported literature and resources will aid our target populations more readily indentify sources for help and access to quality, current health information. This goal parallels the NNLM's mission of improving access to information to assist the public in making informed decisions about their health. Use table skirt with Hospital logo and Libary identification as basis for information table. Table items include informational brochures from our Library and the National Library of Medicine, laptop demonstrations, sample books, prescription for information pads, treats and giveaways. Activity takes place at health fairs, exhibits and informational programs such as: hospital and nursing school orientations, patient safety fair, employee health fairs, health screenings, and County-sponsered health events. We currently participate in approximately 25 of these per year. | Crouse Hospital | 2009-09-22 to 2009-12-31 | 222 |
| 01 | Small Project Award: If you display it, they will come | The DSAMH Medical Library has a number of electronic resources available to its patrons, as well as a growing collection of books, periodicals, and multimedia. We are also connected to academic, special, and public libraries throughout the state via our library catalog and can easily share materials via interlibrary loaning. As the library gains more exposure throughout the state, it would be timely and relevant to pair the public library content available through transit services and the medical library books, journals, and resources, as well as ephemeral pamphlets obtained through federal agencies in an easy to access display. Having a display of a conglomerate of information will introduce patrons to the many resources of the library, as well as increase exposure of information, relevant and appropriate to the NN/LM outreach mission. This award funding would purchase a display to stand in the center of the Library’s circulation area, as it will be visible and not impede traffic flow. Funding would also purchase display stands for the uniform and orderly display of materials, to include books, multimedia, journals, etc. This display would be ideal in incorporating easy-to-read content, quick facts, videos and media, as well as medical resources with co-occurring diagnosis treatment as the focus for the first quarter. The display materials would be changed quarterly or as needed, based on patron needs. For the first quarter, as there is a large number of patrons who seek information on co-occurring treatment options and therapies, materials focusing on co-occurring treatment would be displayed. The second quarter could potentially have content about alternative treatment therapies that would be of interest to a large percentage of the patronage of the library. | Delaware Division Of Substance Abuse and Mental Health | 2009-10-22 to 2010-04-22 | 610 |

| 07 | Express Outreach Award 2009: Community Health Library Without Walls | The current economic situation has resulted in decreased access to health care and health information for the residents of rural areas. In this time of increasing need, the opportunities for health library outreach and funds for library computers have been eliminated. An Express Outreach Award would allow the Marshall Community Health Library to accomplish two goals which would increase awareness of the free services and health information available in the library and via the internet. An outreach campaign would target the following groups: community physicians, rural health clinics, community support groups, El Dorado County public librarians, El Dorado County public health nurses, and El Dorado County Senior Services groups. The Community Health Librarian would present the groups with information on the library’s services, with demonstrations and offers of further training in MedlinePlus and other NLM/NIH databases. The Express Outreach Award would further enable the library to replace three aging public desktop computers and thus ensure the provision of free access to MedlinePlus and other reliable health resources via the internet. The library would purchase a laptop and LCD projector for outreach presentations (the CHL has none at present), and would also purchase Adobe Acrobat Standard software and a scanner, allowing scanning and FAXing of documents to other DOCLINE libraries and community health providers. | Marshall Medical Center | 2009-11-01 to 2010-10-31 | 18440 |

Access to reliable health information is essential to making informed and effective decisions by Departments/Ministries of Health (MOHs), healthcare practitioners, and educators for the benefit of their respective populations. However, access remains an ongoing challenge in the USAPI as the grey literature developed in the region is not generally indexed in standard resources, such as PubMed, and thus remains elusive. Information relevant to the island region is necessary to complement the standard refereed journal literature and enhance the capacity of the MOHs to serve the region’s growing and aging population. | Pacific Resources for Education and Learning Resource Center | 2009-11-01 to 2011-04-30 | 39000 |

| 03 | Outreach Express: Health Info Outreach to Community Partners | Outreach Express: Health Information Outreach to Community Partners. The Pacific College of Oriental Medicine Library is submitting this application for an Outreach Express Award in order to offer health information outreach to our community partners.

The requested funding is to be used to augment the collaborative efforts already in place. Most dramatically, by offering instruction in MedlinePlus, PubMed, and other NIH/NLM resources to those who serve these clients, we anticipate further empowering these caregivers in locating high-quality free information for the on-going needs of their populations. PCOM's library thus has the potential to serve an important consumer health function in the community. In order to realize this goal, we are asking for necessary hardware, software, and other peripherals to enable this project to succeed. | Pacific College of Oriental Medicine | 2010-02-01 to 2011-01-31 | 4896 |

| 07 | Express Outreach Award 2008-09: Taking it to the Streets | Sharp Healthcare sponsors one of the two Community Health Libraries in San Diego County. Attendance at community fairs has financial costs involved, but is worth the time and expense in order to disseminate both health information as well as how to access health information on their own, particularly medlineplus.gov. After attending fairs in 2008, it became clear that many people do not know about medlineplus.gov, do not think of themselves as consumers of health care, and do not know about the Sharp Community Health Library, which is open to the public. Having a presence at health and community fairs allows us to educate about available resources in a variety of formats, and encourage use of the personal service offered by the Librarian and Library Assistant through email, phone call and in person. Visitors to the Library last year spanned a wide variety of ages, languages, literacy abilities and health concerns. | Sharp Memorial Hospital | 2009-04-01 to 2010-03-30 | 5010 |

| 07 | Major Outreach Award 2009-2011: Promoting Web Access to Health Information throughout San Diego | The Pacific College of Oriental Medicine's (PCOM) Library proposes a collaborative project to extend and promote access to the NLM /NIH online health information resources throughout San Diego to consumers and health professionals with easy-to-use Web informatics technologies. The PCOM Library has partnered with an eight-member team of San Diego public libraries, church-based organizations, a community center, and community clinics to substantially expand its instructional program and offer a variety of new teaching alternatives that include hands-on, electronic tutorials, live web-based sessions and DVDs customized for specific target groups. The goal is to significantly extend the PCOM Library's community outreach services by working with more institutions to reach a broader base of users, and combine training expertise with cutting edge technology to offer new instructional options on how to search MedlinePlus, PubMed, ClinicalTrials, and other NLM systems. The Library will improve and expand the depth of existing website and digital resources searchable at multiple levels. The evaluation will measure project outcomes, value added services to improve information access, Web instructional approaches, and promotion of NLM resources. To be responsive to the next decade's upcoming Healthy People 2020 digital technology plans, the library is pursuing use of informatics, web technologies, and user-friendly interfaces for improved searching by all levels of users. This proposed project is essential because it builds on achievements from prior projects and can assure continuity of the library’s community outreach services. There is a cumulative effect which allows the original investment of time and energy to grow exponentially. This project adds additional venues and enables us to introduce new NLM technology tools and resources to community participants. | Pacific College of Oriental Medicine | 2009-11-01 to 2011-04-30 | 40000 |

Documenting the process of integrating the library into the SLCH Emergency Operations Plan, providing materials and programs to inform clinical staff and requesting feedback from the targeted audience will enable the investigators to clearly describe the process for identifying need, developing documents and programs to address that need and understanding the effectiveness of the process so that other hospitals and health sciences libraries have a model for how to approach this issue and ensure access to health information for their populations. | Washington University in Saint Louis | 2010-03-01 to 2011-02-28 | 29834 |
| 04 | A Bridge to Health Literacy for Denver | Health information is recognized as one of the most vital community needs.

These include: • The Barth Hotel, an Assisted Living Residence that is part of Senior Housing Options (http://seniorhousingoptions.org/ ) • Senior Support Services • The Gathering Place http://www.the-gatheringplace.org/ • The Center for African American Health • Inner City Health Center | Denver Public Library | 2010-03-01 to 2011-02-28 | 29546 |
| 04 | Información de Salud para Promotoras | El Centro, Inc., a community based organization in Kansas City, KS with a mission to create and sustain opportunities that empower families, has recently begun a Promotoras program. Approximately 30 lay-health advisors attend regular training sessions then take what they’ve learned out to their communities; they act as a point of contact in the community for health information and resources. Most of the Promotoras do not speak fluent English and have low computer and health literacy skills. In an effort to change this, the Community Health Librarian at Dykes Library will coordinate a series of trainings with the Promotoras project, working closely with El Centro, Inc. and the Kansas City, Kansas Public Library (KCKPL). A Spanish-speaking librarian from KCKPL will work with the Community Health Librarian to create a curriculum to teach computer literacy skills to the Promotoras. Once they are more comfortable with technology, they will move on to locating health information in Spanish through a variety of web sites. In addition to the trainings, six laptops will be purchased that will be available to the Promotoras at El Centro. They can take these to their peers’ homes for use with one-on-one consultations or in small group training sessions. As a result, the Promotoras will become advocates for access to health information and resources in their community. | University of Kansas Medical Center | 2010-02-15 to 2011-02-28 | 27200 |

| 01 | Outreach Training: Crouse Hospital Library Partners with the VNA of CNY | Currently, the VNY of CNY does not have a partnership affiliation with a medical library and so their registered nurses (who may enlist the help of physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech language pathologists, medical social workers, nutritionists, diabetes educators, and wound care specialists) do not benefit from the provision of medical library services and access to current health information resources supporting evidence-based practice, patient education, drug information, and continuing education. While there was great discussion and much interest in forming such a partnership in Spring, '09, the cost was determined to be prohibitive. With the Outreach Training Award, it would be possible to provide three years of library services and resources for this population of healthcare professionals and the clients they serve. This partnership between Crouse Hospital Library and the Visiting Nurse Association of Central New York would embody the spirit! of the outreach mission of the NNLM in providing equitable access to biomedical information for all healthcare professionals and the population they serve. Library services would include: research services by request conducted by trained librarian; online access to the Crouse Hospital Library web page at www.crouse.org/library including Mosby's Nursing Consult and Mosby's Nursing Index via Athens authentication; onsite access to Library in Marley Education Center with 13 public access PCs, wireless internet access, book and journal collections, and borrowing priviledges; document delivery services inclduing interlibrary loan for journal articles through membership in the national Network of Libraries of Medicine; and training by librarians on how to effectively use resources. | Crouse Hospital | 2010-01-06 to 2011-01-06 | 3950 |

| 01 | Small Project Award: Macintosh Support at Schaffer Library | The goal is to provide support to AMC Mac users. Schaffer Library helps them as best we can, but by not having a physical computer, there is a limit to what we can do. The computer would also allow us to determine if an issue truly relates to the Mac, or if it is a broader non-Macintosh issue. Duplicating issues on the Mac and assisting Macintosh users with their computing needs will hopefully enable and encourage broader use of library resources by the AMC Macintosh community. This activity would involve purchasing a 13-inch Macbook for use by librarians at Schaffer Library of Health Sciences. The machine would be used for testing, access to library resources, and troubleshooting customer issues. After receiving grant money, steps include: 1. Purchase computer from the (online) Apple Store for Education 2. Project manager (Leigh Mihlrad, Systems Technology Librarian) will use machine to test common questions that the library receives about Macs, so that the library can be prepared once the program is operational. Will also get familiar with the computer's basic operations and functions. 3. Project manager trains other librarians and staff in how to use the computer 4. Publicize the service to users 5.

| 01 | Outreach to Unaffiliated Health Professionals Award: Extending the Reach | This project will continue and extend the training program which was started under the auspices of an NN/LM MAR Planning Grant, “Getting the (Healthy) Word Out: a Train-the-Trainer Approach for Nurses”. The planning grant application stated that CLIC-on-Health, a project of the Rochester Regional Library Council (RRLC) would work with nurse educators at health care agencies and associations in its five-county service area to create a train-the trainer program, with the goal of training nurses to identify and use reliable web-based information resources when they have a need for patient care or patient safety information. The planning grant has helped us determine the training needs of nurses in the Rochester, NY area, develop a preliminary curriculum, establish the most efficient means of providing the training, and identify project partners. This new project, if funded, will make it possible for us to create online tutorials and deliver both web-ba! sed and face-to-face instruction to unaffiliated nurses and health professionals. The training needs and preferred training methods for registered nurses were identified through a survey that was developed and administered with funding from the Planning Grant. The professional firm of BRX Associates was hired to develop the survey and tabulate the results. Decisions on the content and format of the training are based on information gained from the survey. | Rochester Regional Library Council | 2010-04-15 to 2011-04-30 | 60000 |

| 01 | Bioinformatics Training Award: Mid-Atlantic Region Bioinformatics Training | A full-day Fundamentals of Bioinformatics and Searching workshop will be developed that covers the foundations of bioinformatics. The workshop will be a combination of short lectures and hands-on computer demonstrations and practical exercises. It will be presented from within the context of a medical, clinical or pre-clinical perspective. The current vision is to provide three hours of computerbased instruction, two hours of guided networking and discussion, and a second three hour computerbased session. This is to allow “decompression” time between computer-based work sets while simultaneously providing an opportunity for participants to build relationships and discover opportunities for collaboration with others. The creator of the workshop will request six hours of continuing education credit to encourage participants to register. In addition, we propose here to develop the Fundamentals of Bioinformatics workshop under a Creative Commons license to promote redistribution and sharing of the material prevent, preventing commercialization of the workshop, and permitting the Creator to return copyright.. The exact conditions of how the Creative Commons License should be invoked needs to be negotiated to protect the interests and mission of the Mid-Atlantic Region of NN/LM as well as that of the Creator. An important component of this proposal is to lower the barriers for librarians to attend the workshops. We therefore are proposing to offer a minimum of ten librarian “scholarships” of up to $500 each to defray the cost of transportation and lodging for those librarians who are traveling at a distance and for whom their libraries may not be able to provide professional development funds. In particular, we are interested in creating as diverse a librarian population possible among the participants, particularly hospital librarians who will be given priority status for at least four of the scholarships, two/ each workshop given. | State University of New York at Buffalo | 2010-04-21 to 2011-04-30 | 15000 |

| 01 | Small Project Award: Health Information Center Development | Though we are keeping statistics of what information is requested by patients, and are ordering information accordingly, there are instances where we don’t have the information on hand yet, or the request is so specific that there may not be a free or low cost publication available to us or on hand. Once we decide that we don’t have the information on hand, we begin research through reputable websites (ex. Medlineplus.gov, mayoclinic.com, amerciancancersociety.org, etc.), and will find the information, per the patients request. If we can’t fulfill the request at that time due to the time it would take to do a full research, we ask the patient the best way for them to receive information (email, U.S. mail, or pickup), which is completed in about 1-2 business days. Since an additional computer would be used only for searches, and wouldn’t have proprietary information on it, we can allow patients and guests to use the computer on their own. To ensure that guests searching for health information on their own, use reputable and reliable websites for searching, we would instruct them which websites to use, based upon what they are searching for. We would also make general, or non-condition specific, websites prominent to the user, by placing their icons on the computer’s desktop, as well as stored in favorites. | St. Luke's Roosevelt | 2010-06-14 to 2011-04-30 | 591 |

| 01 | Outreach to Unaffiliated Health Professionals Award: Outreach to Institute for Family Health | There are two primary activities that make up this grant. The first activity is publisher negotiation. The Health Sciences Library would approach our periodical publishers to negotiate a license addendum that would allow the IFH to have on-site access to all of our electronic periodicals through that publisher. It is hoped that such access would be provided at a nominal fee, but that is an uncertainty to be addressed in the process. Access to these services cannot add to Columbia University’s FTE count or site count. That is, any additional costs would be clearly identifiable as the costs for providing IFH access to these resources, and those costs would cease upon termination of the agreement. The goal is that the agreement negotiated would be generic, so that any Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) would be able to take the same agreement and partner with a university in its service area to gain access to electronic health information res! ources. Negotiations would continue with additional publishers until either the grant funds or the grant period is exhausted. The second activity is access to reference and education services. Reference and Instruction librarians from the Health Sciences Library would be available to provide remote/virtual (email, phone, or chat, as appropriate) and on-site (at IFH) reference consultation and training. In addition to training on the primary source materials provided through publisher agreements, training would also cover the vast array of free resources available from the NLM. Reference and instruction services will be charged to the grant at an hourly rate. | Columbia University | 2010-05-01 to 2011-04-30 | 30000 |

| 04 | Gallup Indian Medical Center Grand Rounds | Our mission at Gallup Indian Medical Center (GIMC) is to provide quality and accessible health care to Native American beneficiaries of our area. An important tool that enables providers at GIMC to do this is access to culturally specific and medically relevant continuing medical education (CME). Unfortunately, funding for CME has been removed due to dwindling resources and expanding health care costs. Many health care providers at GIMC are concerned that the loss of these funds may affect their ability to stay current in their fields and continue to provide quality care to their patients. To address these concerns, we propose creating a monthly Grand Rounds that would be a source of free culturally and medically relevant CME for our providers. Addressing the lack of funding for CME at Gallup Indian Medical Center would help the library to achieve its long term goals by providing appropriate health care information to providers in the Four Corners area. In 2005 the GIMC participated in the TC4C information needs assessment of health care providers. Respondents indicated as their top five diagnoses—diabetes, bone joint, hypertension, eye disease and heart disease. 52.7% answered “yes” to difficulty finding culturally-appropriate materials for patient care. As the largest Indian Health Service hospital in New Mexico serving the largest land-based tribe in the country, a partnership between the GIMC and the Health Sciences Library and Informatics Center (HSLIC) is a natural. In assisting GIMC with the Grand Rounds project, HSLIC will be helping providers in a medically-underserved region. In turn GIMC can be a source of information on native health issues and disparities. The library will be facilitating the Grand Rounds series by allowing for the purchase of a new laptop for the presentations and training for the provider staff in finding health information. Future activities could include support for education and information support. | Gallup Indian Medical Center | 2010-05-01 to 2011-04-30 | 10900 |

| 03 | Tech Improvement Award: Designing and Providing Web Based Multimedia Lib Training | Tech Improvement Award: Designing and Providing Web-Based Multimedia Library Training Targeted to Community-Based Physicians. The University of Toledo Health Science Campus (UTCOM) recruits community-based physicians as volunteer faculty to provide clinical training and education for UTCOM students and residents. Although the volunteer faculty have access to the same library services and resources that the UTCOM-paid faculty members receive, it has been very challenging for them to access library services and resources. The purpose of the project is to design and provide web-based multimedia library training tailored to the volunteer faculty in effective use of library services and clinical information resources. Web-based training videos will be designed and developed to provide training on such topics as using library services, accessing point-of care clinical information resources, searching the best evidence with PubMed, and finding quality consumer health information via MedlinePlus. The goal of the project is to improve access to biomedical and clinical information, meet the information needs, and fill the gap in provision of the library outreach program targeted to the community-based faculty who serve the rural communities in Northwest Ohio and who provide free clinical training and education for UT students and residents. | University of Toledo | 2010-09-01 to 2011-02-28 | 2771 |

Partner audiences cover a large geographic area of Illinois. Travel time and cost limits the opportunities we have to teach audiences. Weather also causes hindrances to face-to-face time, with road travel being quite unpredictable and unsafe in rural areas, during certain times of the year. We hope to address this issue by developing an online tutor system to help users develop prerequisite stills for using online health information web sites and tools. | Western Illinois University | 2010-10-01 to 2011-03-31 | 4899 |

YES is a cooperation between AUHS and Signal Hill Elementary School. Under the situation of health care disparities, the purpose of YES is to have more youth, especially minorities, learn basic knowledge and get involved in the medical and science fields, as well as encourage their future careers in these fields. Through this project, the community will be able to access information related to health, medicine, and science to meet personal needs, listen to interesting stories from AUHS students, and have hands-on experience in health care. | American University of Health Sciences | 2010-08-01 to 2011-03-30 | 7318 |
| 07 | Express Outreach Award 2010: Checking the Pulse of Community Health: A Public Forum | HARC was incorporated in 2006 by a collaboration of 30 community-based organizations that recognized the need for a regional health data collection system for individuals, agencies and institutions in Eastern Riverside County. They realized that without understanding the area’s needs, solutions could not be formulated or efficiently implemented. Furthermore, they recognized that without health data, it was difficult to measure progress or to convey dire needs to current and potential supporters. HARC’s mission is to provide objective, reliable research, analysis and technical services to Eastern Riverside County communities and to facilitate better decision-making regarding health and quality of life. HARC’s three primary programs are: 1) a triennial health assessment and report for Eastern Riverside County and the Coachella Valley region; 2) survey and data-based services for community partners and other organizations; and 3) educational programs that help community organizations utilize health-related data. The triennial health assessment provides baseline data about the health needs and disparities facing the region’s residents. The baseline data helps measure the impact of community efforts to address health issues, while providing a tool for strategic planning and business decisions that benefit the region. All program areas encourage community-wide, collaborative partnerships and resource pooling. | Health Assessment Resource Center | 2010-11-01 to 2011-04-30 | 12895 |

| 07 | Express Outreach Award 2010: Consumer Health Outreach in an Urban Underserved Area | The purpose of the project is to actively promote the consumer health information services provided by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) in an urban underserved area. The National Library of Medicine provides valuable medical information for consumers through MedlinePlus, available in English and Spanish versions. Incumbent to its success, however, is the awareness and utilization of these resources by various populations. As a Resource Library in the NN/LM, the University of Southern California’s Norris Medical Library proposes to conduct an aggressive outreach campaign that focuses on the needs of specific user populations -- seniors, Spanish-speaking health consumers, and health professionals who primarily serve these communities in the East Los Angeles area. This inner urban area includes a high proportion of Hispanic low-income residents, whose primary language is Spanish. By actively promoting the benefits of MedlinePlus to these groups, we believe it will result in the following benefits: (1) increased knowledge of the availability of quality consumer health resources and improved access to these resources; (2) increased awareness by health professionals of high-quality and time-saving patient education materials available to aid them in communicating with their patients; and (3) the creation of informed health consumers who are empowered to be more active participants in their own health care. | University of Southern California | 2010-12-01 to 2011-03-31 | 14776 |

| 01 | Hospital-based education using audience response technology | Our primary objective is to increase active learning during group educational sessions for hospital-based clinicians, thereby engaging learners more effectively and increasing knowledge retention after sessions are completed. Secondarily, we may use the same method to increase active learning during and knowledge retention after educational sessions for patients and families, and for non-clinical staff. The method is to use audience response technology during educational sessions. A number of papers, studies and case reports (see Appendix 1 - Bibliography) suggest that incorporating audience response systems into medical and nursing education can increase the effectiveness of the training. Outcomes after implementation of the method would be that more appropriate training is given, tailored to the needs and experiences of the individuals in the group being trained, and that knowledge retention is improved due to the active learning that took place. | Pennsylvania Hospital | 2011-01-25 to 2011-03-30 | 1000 |

| 01 | Developing a Plan to Ensure Preservation and Access to Historical Materials in the MAR | As librarians, curators and archivists are pressured more and more to “go digital”, they are faced with tough decisions regarding what they can and should keep in print – and for how long. These decisions should not be made independently; rather they must keep in mind the uniqueness and historical value of the materials within the larger context of community. For the community of historical and archival collections in the NNLM/MAR, we are proposing a one-day conference to address the issues of preservation, retention and access to historical materials in our region. Two experts in these areas, Constance Malpas of OCLC Research and Alice Schreyer of the University of Chicago, have agreed to speak and facilitate discussions which will lead to the creation of (1) a cooperative plan to ensure preservation and access to historical materials in MAR and (2) a working group to oversee the implementation of this plan. | The New York Academy of Medicine | 2010-11-15 to 2011-04-30 | 39913 |

| 02 | Express Digitization and Conservation Award - University of South Carolina | The Charles S. Bryan History of Medicine Room at the University of South Carolina School of Medicine Library houses a 500+ volume collection of materials of great importance to medical, historical, and sociological research. The collection gives an indication of the kinds and numbers of medical books in the hands of physicians in South Carolina and reflects the education and training of doctors during the 18th and 19th centuries. Our initial project, funded by a NN/LM SE/A grant, of digitizing five titles from our rare book collection and development of a History of Medicine webpage was very successful. The learning and training from the first stage project prepared us to establish a scanning operation in the School of Medicine Library so that we could continue to make local collections available digitally. Our second project was the purchase and installation of scanning equipment and training staff and volunteers to digitize selected items from a small collection of approximately 50 items of medical ephemera, including pharmaceutical pamphlets, catalogs and various other medical papers from the late nineteenth century. 20 items were completed after the equipment was installed. Our planned project for our third digitization grant will be digitizing 18 additional items of pharmaceutical / medical ephemera. These items illustrate one of the early continuing education resources local physicians had to build their knowledge of new treatment options. | University of South Carolina | 2011-09-14 to 2012-04-30 | 8228 |
| 02 | Express Outreach Project - Bread for the City - BFC’s Health Information Resource Project | Objective #1: Empower our patients to take control of their own health outcomes by providing them with resources to research and learn on their own. We will utilize our recently opened Health Information Resource Room as an outlet for BFC’s 2,500 annual Medical Clinic patients. Volunteer health information resource coordinators staff the room, and help patients use MedlinePlus and other internet services to discover useful health information. Additionally, volunteers guide patients to the information that is most relevant to them and assist them in following up on medical provider recommendations and/ or referrals. Objective #2: Continue to operate our five-week Health Literacy Computer Class, a program developed to compliment our Health Information Resource Room. Designed for patients whose computer skills are remedial or worse, this course runs every month and is taught by our Medical Projects Coordinator in both English and Spanish. Students learn the basics of operating a personal computer (how to turn on a computer, use the mouse, etc) before learning how to access the internet, set up an email account, and use health information databases such as MedlinePlus. This process opens a lot of doors for our clients, not only helping them make educated health choices, but also teaching them how to take advantage of the rest of what the internet provides: email, news, jobs, entertainment, etc. Since many of our clients do not have internet access at home or work, this course allows them to learn the basic skills they have not had access to in the past. Objective #3: Make available in the Health Information Resource Room additional (non-internet) resources to help patients better understand the health topics that are of importance to them. | 2011-09-14 to 2012-04-30 | 6000 | |

As part of this initiative eight iPads will be purchased through the NNLM award and distributed to the five MUSC College of Nursing program representatives. These five Nurse practitioners will use iPads in programs with patients, parents of patients, relatives of patients, public school students, migrant populations, and the community. Out of the eight iPads, three will be available to twenty College of Nursing students that work with the identified programs. The College of Nursing students will check out the iPads and take to the program sites to use with patients, public school students, parents, migrant population, and the community. We will have check out sheet for the students to fill out upon taking one of the three iPads to use with the identified programs. The iPads will be preloaded with College of Nursing community health and patient care videos in Spanish and English. These videos are instructional tools that help Nurse Practioner teach health lessons to parents on children’s oral health, mental health, safety issues, breastfeeding, contraception, STIs, parenting, nutrition and physical activity. There will also be icons for Medline Plus, PubMed, MUSC Library, and Hands On Health on these eight iPads. In order to measure the value of using iPads in these settings we will have a survey for the Nurse practitioners, Nursing students, and the individual or people that they reach. The targeted population will fill out a survey after the health information lesson or video to gauge how effective an iPad is as a health information tool/ resource in working with the underserved. As part of the survey it will indicate what health sites or tools the Nurse practitioner, students, and patients used during their session. | Medical University of South Carolina | 2011-09-14 to 2012-04-30 | 5000 |

| 02 | Express Library Technology Improvement - Orlando Health | This project aims to integrate mobile information technology - an iPad – into existing Clinical Medical Librarian (CML) rounds to: 1) add real-time reference; 2) integrate library instruction for medical residents and interns and 3) test access and usability of a newly designed electronic library page on a mobile device. This project intends to utilize mobile technology to minimize the lag time of information provision during patient rounds and add value to the presence of the CML. Leveraging an ultra-portable tablet device will add immediacy to library information access at the point of care. Rather than utilizing the traditional CML model of returning to the library to do research, at least a portion of the literature searching and quick reference questions can be completed while rounding, and results can be emailed instantly to residents and attending physicians if requested. The opportunity for library instruction will be greatly enhanced by the iPad. Demonstrating ease of access and usability of library resources may help overcome the perceived barriers to accessing evidence; namely, lack of time and knowledge. It is an ideal situation to explain which resources are most appropriate for which type of questions. And since previous attempts to provide formalized instructions to residents have not met with success (due to scheduling issues), this is a long-awaited chance to show how to point and click (or tap and drag) to the best evidence-based information. Finally, based on feedback from a user needs survey, the library staff is in the process of creating an updated and streamlined version of the electronic library webpage. | Orlando Health | 2011-09-14 to 2012-04-30 | 700 |

| 07 | EOA 2012-13: Health Professionals Information Use in Patient Care in Research-Rich Settings | The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Public Access Policy requires (since 2008) that all peer-reviewed journal publications resulting from NIH funding be made publicly accessible within a year of publication in PubMed Central (PMC). This Policy has the potential of translating into increased information use by the public, including health professionals. To assess the policy's potential and actual impact, benchmark measures of current health-professional use of this research in different settings are needed to see what happens when this research is and is not available to health professionals. As an initial step, this study investigates the information use of health professionals at Stanford University Medical Center (SUMC), who have relatively complete access to the biomedical literature, as well as popular point-of-care (POC) services, such as UpToDate. Stanford's robust collection will be used as a surrogate for the access to eventually result from the NIH policy, with the aim of establishing an understanding, through web log analysis and interview data, of the types of information used by health professionals and their knowledge of the Public Access Policy. This mixed methods approach will provide data to be synthesized, presented through hands-on trainings, and published to provide an evidence base for open-access policy makers, health science librarians, and health care practitioners to inform policy; to guide librarians' creation of information training, case studies, and collection development policies; and to raise awareness of the NIH Policy. | Stanford University | 2012-05-01 to 2013-04-30 | 21866 |

The Libraries of SD Public, SD County and Chula Vista, the AME Prince Chapel/Church, the La Jolla Community Center and the PCOM/UCSD Integrative Medicine Group are the six collaborating participants. The project goals are to conduct mini-conferences that promote access to disaster and emergency preparedness health information, and increase awareness and use of the National Library of Medicine (NLM)'s Disaster Information Management Research Center (DIMRC)'s resources. The meetings will feature PHS emergency speakers and PCOM library instructors. They will provide cross training opportunities to benefit emergency public health responders, health professionals, librarians, and the public. Attendees will learn where and how to get quick access to online emergency health information resources, from mobile devices to WISER, MedlinePlus.gov, and other related sites during San Diego wildfires, earthquakes, blackouts, and hazardous disasters. The aim is to encourage partnerships among medical librarians, emergency responders, and health workers to share their expertise and resources for recovery planning with each other, and with local geographically dispersed organizations throughout SD County (e.g. churches, community centers, corporate and public libraries, and health practitioner groups). The PCOM library staff is experienced in conducting mini-conferences that combine speakers with subject expertise and information access training using the NLM resources. | Pacific College of Oriental Medicine | 2012-05-01 to 2013-04-30 | 22172 |
| 07 | EOA 2012-13: Bridging the Health Information Gap: Saturday Academy Charles Drew University Lib. | The Saturday Science Academy II is one of the University's oldest pipeline programs. For years it has been strengthening the math, science, and health education of K-12 students through more involved instruction and demonstrations by local teachers, parents, and faculty members. Activities can range from students increasing their mathematic skills, to students wanting to become scientists or physicians because they now understand the scientific process and have been encouraged to dream. The program has been responsible for sparking the interest of numerous young people in careers involving science and medicine. The academy has three 8-week sessions and one 4-week session offered during the summer. Bridging the Health Information Gap will supplement these activities by providing training in using NLM resources to both instructors and students. The key tools that will be used are outlined in NLM SIS K-12 Science and Health Education website. Depending on the age group, NLM resources such as Tox Town, MedlinePlus, and the Visible Human Project would be introduced to the instructors of the Saturday Science Academy II in order for them to use these materials with their students. A librarian would be present during selected classroom sessions to conduct training for the teachers, monitor NLM resource use, and provide further instruction for interested teachers and students. At the conclusion of the project, all participants would be surveyed to gauge how effective our efforts had been in introducing NLM resources. | Charles R.

| 07 | EOA 2012-13: Integrating Patient-Centered Health Information into the Patient Centered Medical Home | Savitt Medical Library will create a multifaceted mechanism to facilitate patients' use of information technology and encourage greater patient involvement in their own medical care. Building on the concept of the patient centered medical home (PCFM), the University of Nevada School of Medicine (UNSOM) has launched an innovative clinical facility for improving primary care for Nevadans. The UNSOM Patient Centered Family Medicine Clinic (PCFMC) model of care is designed to improve outcomes by organizing medical care around the patient and by focusing on education to enhance the ability of patients to actively understand and influence their health status. Within this clinical context, four specific aims will promote improved access to reliable consumer health education information and help patients engage in meaningful discussions with health care providers: (1) the creation of a patient education web portal integrated in the PCMH clinical environment; (2) provision of tablet devices in examining rooms for clinician and patient use; (3) creation of an online educational resource to guide patients in the creation and use of personal health records; and (4) participation of on-call librarians to provide mediated virtual support to assist patients in using health information resources. | Savitt Medical Library | 2012-05-01 to 2013-04-30 | 12000 |
| 07 | EOA 2012-13: Outreach to Students through College Health Services: Pacific Islanders Pilots | College students are at a time in life when they are developing habits and decisions that affect the direction and quality of their lives. This project seeks to establish partnerships between college libraries and college health services for health outreach to Pacific Islander college students. The two entities are responsible for information (library) and health (student health services) resources and dissemination on a college campus. Personnel in both service areas would receive training on NLM resources. Working together they will develop strategies and activities to inform and prepare students to develop their health literacy and make healthy lifestyle decisions. Participating colleges include the University of Guam and one to three other colleges on Guam, American Samoa, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, or the Republic of Palau (all two-year colleges). All these colleges have Pacific Islander populations with first generation student populations where English is not their first language. An anticipated barrier to health information outreach is the lack of health information in non-English languages. The project hopes to identify specific health topics that need to be developed or revised to address the needs of minority population students. This is a pilot project, so specific recommendations will be developed to promote the benefits of the partnerships and what further work can improve access to health information by college students and their families. | University of Guam Robert F Kennedy Memorial Library | 2012-05-01 to 2013-04-30 | 25400 |

| 06 | Technology Improvement: MEDICOR Mirrored Proxy Server | The MEDICOR project (http://spcmsmedicor.org) is an innovative, Web-based electronic medical library system under continuous development by physicians, educators, medical librarians and community leaders since 2006. There is a need to make MEDICOR a more consistently stable service (response time and up time) and extend its features, functionality and content to a larger target audience of health care providers beyond the greater Spokane geographic area. This project will add a “mirrored” server to store and seamlessly exchange all the information of the primary proxy server. Success of this project will be measured by tracking indicators to ensure the “mirrored” server will increase MEDICOR’s speed and reliability, reduce the potential for extended down times (where the system does not operate), and aid the primary server to process an increasing number of user requests, as well as provide a “backup” to the system should the primary server fail. User experience will be measured by an online satisfaction survey distributed to MEDICOR target audiences at launch and completion of project. | Spokane County Medical Society | 2012-03-09 to 2012-04-30 | 7670 |
