Getting in on the Conversation: Implementing and Leveraging Embedded Librarianship

Webinar presented by the Special Libraries Association Embedded Librarians Caucus on August 29, 2017. This panel session is a discussion between session participants and three embedded librarians, who present three distinct models of embedded librarianship within the University of Michigan, representing a broad spectrum of disciplines, audiences, and goals. Panelists shared strategies for implementing embedded librarianship to engage different campus communities and for leveraging embedded librarianship to demonstrate their value by contributing to the overall goals at their institution, including “don’t wait for the invitation: crash the party,” “forget the elevator speech: focus on troubleshooting,” and “proactively engage your audience: flaunt your expertise.” Panelists also compiled their answers to questions from webinar participants in Q&As document. Panel Moderator: David Shumaker. Panelists: ● Jean Song, in a Health Sciences/Medical program, proactively interacting with faculty in order to partner in research analysis including successfully receiving grant funding to support existing grant funded projects or providing analysis on research projects such as bibliometric investigation ● Nadine Anderson, in a Behavioral Sciences program, proactively working with faculty on issues with undergraduate research and critical thinking skills (or lack thereof) and becoming part of the solution by partnering with faculty on educational projects and a credit course integrated into their courses and curriculum ● Joel Scheuher, in a Business program, collaborating directly with graduate students as a member of their action based learning teams, contributing as research experts to solve real-world challengesWebinar presented by the Special Libraries Association Embedded Librarians Caucus on August 29, 2017.https://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/150200/1/Getting in on the Conversation - Implementing and Leveraging Embedded Librarianship .mp4https://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/150200/2/Getting in On the Conversation - Implementing and Leveraging Embedded Librarianship slides.pdfhttps://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/150200/3/Q&As from Getting in on the Conversation-Implementing & Leveraging Embedded Librarianship Webinar.pdfDescription of Getting in on the Conversation - Implementing and Leveraging Embedded Librarianship .mp4 : Webinar RecordingDescription of Getting in On the Conversation - Implementing and Leveraging Embedded Librarianship slides.pdf : Presentation SlidesDescription of Q&As from Getting in on the Conversation-Implementing & Leveraging Embedded Librarianship Webinar.pdf : Q&A Sessio

Choose Your Partners Wisely: Strategic Choices for Embedded Librarians

SLA Embedded Librarians Caucus Conference panel session from the Special Libraries Association 2018 Annual Conference. One of the keys to establishing an embedded librarianship role is choosing your partner wisely. Whether introducing the embedded model in their organization for the first time or expanding their relationships, librarians have to ask themselves, "Who can I turn to to help start up and establish my embedded librarianship role?" and "is this the right partner to build a successful relationship with?" In this session, successful corporate and academic embedded librarians shared strategies on using political and marketing insights to figure out both where in the organization to concentrate your efforts and which people in your organization you should partner with, so that you can maximize your value and achieve long-lasting success. Moderator: David Shumaker. Panelists: *Nadine Anderson, Behavioral Sciences and Women’s & Gender Studies Librarian, University of Michigan-Dearborn *Barbara Kahn-Aitken, Senior Research Analyst, The Coca-Cola Company *Joel Scheuher, Business Librarian, University of Michigan, Ross School of BusinessSLA Embedded Librarians Caucus Conference panel session from the Special Libraries Association 2018 Annual Conference.https://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/150202/1/Choose Your Partners Wisely - Strategic Choices for Embedded Librarians.pdfDescription of Choose Your Partners Wisely - Strategic Choices for Embedded Librarians.pdf : Presentation Slide

Modeling the Compatibility of Biological and Economic Objectives on a Forested Landscape

An integrated model combining a wildlife population simulation model and timber harvest and growth models was developed to explore the tradeoffs between the likelihood of persistence of a hypothetical wildlife species and timber harvest volumes on a landscape in the Central Oregon Cascades. Simulated annealing, a heuristic optimization technique, was used to solve for harvest schedules that maximized the likelihood of species persistence relative to a given timber harvest volume constraint over a 100 year planning period. By solving this problem for a range of different harvest volumes a production possibility frontier is developed that shows the relative tradeoffs between timber harvest volumes and likelihood of species persistence on this landscape. Although the results are specific to the wildlife species and the landscape analyzed, the approach is general and may provide a structure for future models that will allow land managers and forest planners to become more informed about the tradeoffs among competing resources.Key words: forest management, tradeoff analysis, wildlife population modeling, simulated annealin

Factors associated with foreign body infection in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia

BackgroundWe aimed to compare patient characteristics, MRSA sequence types, and biofilm production of MRSA strains that did and did not cause a foreign body infection in patients with MRSA bloodstream infections (BSI)MethodsAll adult patients with MRSA BSI hospitalized in two hospitals were identified by clinical microbiology laboratory surveillance. Only patients who had at least one implanted foreign body during the episode of BSI were included.ResultsIn July 2018 - March 2022, of 423 patients identified with MRSA BSI, 118 (28%) had ≥1 foreign body. Among them, 51 (43%) had one or more foreign body infections. In multivariable analysis, factors associated with foreign body infection were history of MRSA infection in the last year (OR=4.7 [1.4-15.5], p=0.012) community-associated BSI (OR=68.1 [4.2-1114.3], p=0.003); surgical site infection as source of infection (OR=11.8 [2-70.4], p=0.007); presence of more than one foreign body (OR=3.4 [1.1-10.7], p=0.033); interval between foreign body implantation and infection <18 months (OR=3.3 [1.1-10], p=0.031); and positive blood culture ≥48h (OR=16.7 [4.3-65.7], p<0.001). The most prevalent sequence type was ST8 (39%), followed by ST5 (29%), and ST105 (20%) with no significant difference between patients with or without foreign body infection. Only 39% of MRSA isolates formed a moderate/strong biofilm. No significant difference was observed between patients with foreign body infection and those without foreign body infection. In multivariable analysis, subjects infected with a MRSA isolate producing moderate/strong in vitro biofilm were more likely to have a history of MRSA infection in the last year (OR=3.41 [1.23-9.43]), interval between foreign body implantation and MRSA BSI <18 months (OR=3.1 [1.05-9.2]) and ST8 (OR=10.64 [2-57.3]).ConclusionMost factors associated with foreign body infection in MRSA BSI were also characteristic of persistent infections. Biofilm-forming isolates were not associated with a higher risk of foreign-body infection but appeared to be associated with MRSA genetic lineage, especially ST8
