A study of the Awareness and Utilization of Digitized Resources in Selected University Libraries of Karnataka

Due to information explosion and overload of information, libraries are unable to procure or subscribe to the enormous published information. Libraries are finding it difficult to supply the most deemed reading materials such as reference, rare, career advancement, scholarly publications, government publications, and research related reading materials. Thus, to overcome this existing problem, now the libraries, especially university libraries are starting to digitize the value added reading materials and have made them available through a digital library, gateways, portals, archives, repositories, and consortium electronic platforms. In this context, the present study evaluates the awareness and utilization of digitized resources by users, i.e., postgraduate students, research scholars and faculty members of selected university libraries in Karnataka. A structured questionnaire was framed as a part of doctoral research and 346 questionnaires were distributed among users of selected university libraries that are providing digitized resources through various digital platforms. Further, the study examines the issues of frequent use of digitized resources, preferred document formats to view digital contents, preferred search terms to search and retrieve information and also assesses problems faced by the respondents while accessing ‘Digitized Resources’

Evidence-Based Health Services Management for Nurse Leaders: An Intracampus Partnership and Curriculum

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE: In 2008, the New York University Graduate School of Public Service and NYU Libraries faculty partnered to offer a credit course to prepare nurse managers in a graduate program to use the evidence-based paradigm as a framework for locating and filtering best quality evidence to support decision making in the workplace. METHODS: Using lecture, demonstration, hands-on exercises, online tutorials, and readings, the students gained a theoretical basis for framing answerable research questions and exploiting the structure of bibliographic databases to retrieve evidence for management challenges such as medication administration, patient safety, reducing nursing turnover, among many research topics focused on healthcare quality, cost, and access. Critically appraising the literature in the context of the evidence pyramid is introduced along with sources for both free and fee-based data, statistics, and government information. RESULTS: Nurse managers gained competence in navigating, citing, and communicating; they demonstrated an understanding of the evidence hierarchy, assessing methodological quality, and the social and ethical issues related to the provision, dissemination, and sharing of information. CONCLUSIONS: Nurse leaders, in their critical role in contemporary healthcare organizations, have a pressing need to locate evidence-based research. Information literacy embedded in a framework of evidence empowers nurse managers with strategies to retrieve research to support decision making and practice changes in the workplace. A credit course dedicated to an evidence-based approach to the profusion of available information provides a foundation for lifelong professional competence in the use of health services management research
