Getting it all together: Building an institutional repository collection of ICAHIS (International Conference of Animal Health Information Specialists) papers

Since its first meeting in 1992, the International Conference of Animal Health Information Specialists (ICAHIS) has generated a large collection of informative papers, largely inaccessible even in this age of Internet access. Development of the Washington State University (WSU) Libraries’ institutional repository, the WSU Research Exchange, is a venue to provide accessibility and permanence. Working together, Vicki Croft, Head Librarian of Washington State University’s Animal Health Library, and Kay Vyhnanek, Scholarly Communication Librarian at WSU, began a project to create a Web-based collection of papers from all five ICAHIS meetings. This presentation will give descriptions of the design and planning, the process and procedures for obtaining copyright permissions from the authors, the methods employed in capturing and/or creating digital images of the papers, the creation of the metadata representing the papers, and posting the papers to the Researc

The Health Sciences Library as a partner in case-based learning exercises: the diagnostic challenges at Washington State University

Running wild, running free : capturing, harnessing and disseminating knowledge flows in support of animal health

The Washington State University Health Sciences Library (HSL) is a specialized academic library at a land-grant public university located in Pullman, WA, USA. This discussion focuses on instruction to students in the WSU College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM) during their participation in a case-based learning activity known as Diagnostic Challenges (DCs). DCs take place twice during the veterinary students' second professional year and are an intensive departure from the typical course schedule. The purposes of the DCs are to decrease discipline-based compartmentalization of the curriculum, increase the opportunities for active learning, develop students' interpersonal and communication skills, and promote independent learning skills. A literature search is a required part of these assignments. At the end of the week, the teams present synopses of their cases and the clinical reasoning they went through to design treatment regimens. Over the years a variety of strategies have been employed to help students understand both why a literature search is important as well as how to complete one. This summary provides examples of what worked, what did not, and the effects of library involvement in the program on the students' successful completion of the exercise.Poster presented at the 5th International Conference of Animal Health Information Specialists, 4-7 July 2005, Onderstepoort, South AfricaSarah K.
