In intervening years, the collection has grown to 236 models ranging from single organs to entire bodies. As of March 25, 2021, the circulation count for the models was 21,571. During the 2018-2019 academic year, we observed that several of the models had become too damaged to continue circulating and we evaluated whether to replace them or slowly discontinue the service. Based on circulation numbers, as well as anecdotal evidence, we chose to replace the damaged models and expand the collection further. Description: We supplemented our previously collected data with empirical methods to provide additional evidence to inform future decisions about continued investments in the anatomical model lending program. We examined the types of patrons using the models, each model’s usage statistics, and their cost per use. As a comparison, we looked at the statistics for our virtual anatomy subscriptions. We surveyed the students who check out the physical models regarding their assessment of this program’s value to them. Finally, we surveyed all Association of Academic Health Sciences Libraries (AAHSL) members about their physical model collection and its usage in addition to searching the literature to find other evidence of the value that models provide in health sciences education. Conclusion: Our data shows that 80.39% of our models are checked out by undergraduates at our institution while graduate students account for 13.72% and faculty/staff make up 3.17%. Nursing students accounted for 62% of the model checkouts and 91% of students surveyed believed the models positively impacted their learning outcomes. We also surveyed all AAHSL libraries (n=181) and received responses from 89 (49%). Nearly 61% reported having at least one model with 9 having over 100 models. 77.53% reported having e-Anatomy resources as well. Responses about circulation ranged from hardly at all to several thousand per year. The model collection is a high use distinctive feature of Laupus Library and the data supports our decision to continue investing in it.Item Open Access Search Strategy for The Health of Migrant and Seasonal Farmworkers in the U.S.: Mapping the Extant Literature(2019-12-06) Bloss, Jamie; Firnhaber, Gina; Lee, Joseph G. L.This is the full set of search strategies for a mapping review conducted to survey and categorize literature published in the health sciences and agricultural fields on health issues of migrant and seasonal farmworkers in the United States. Databases and websites searched include: MEDLINE via PubMed, Toxicology Abstracts, PsycINFO, ProQuest Agricultural & Environmental Science Collection inclusive of AGRICOLA, LILACS, and google.com The publication that this search strategy is associated with can be found via the following link: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34549654/ and the DOI is: https://doi.org/10.1177/15248399211033308Item Open Access Celebrating Library Anniversaries: Project Management and Opportunities for Archiving(2020-06-18) Rose, Marlena; Carpenter, LayneLaupus Health Sciences Library at East Carolina University recently celebrated a fifty-year anniversary. This presentation will outline the planning process including the formation of a taskforce, how activities and items were budgeted, how decisions were made, and lessons that were learned. The presentation will also detail the value of the archives in planning for this event and will provide practical tips for how others may preserve the history of their library and engage their users.Item Open Access Rising to the Occasion: Curating Circulating Collections Beginning with a Test Prep Book Deselection Project(2019-10-06) Rose, Marlena; Inman, MeganLiterature and experience in health sciences librarianship show that currency is key when providing resources to students enrolled in health sciences degree programs. With frequent updates to board exams for health sciences students and residents, ensuring the most current test preparation books for libraries that provide those materials, would be of greatest aid to test takers to study the most up to date material for their board exams. This health sciences library undertook a project to analyze print books for a test preparation and health science educational material weeding project.Item Open Access Anatomy Touch Table Project(2018-05-22) Russell, Roger; Barber, MarlenaObjectives : The library has seen great usage in its anatomical model collection but struggles to meet patron demand during peak times. The objective of this project was to improve patron experience and utilization of anatomical resources, to better anticipate and understand period of high patron demand for anatomical models, and to ensure maximum user availability of models. Methods : Usage statistics were analyzed on anatomical models and web-based anatomical model resources. Anecdotal data from librarian and staff interaction with library patrons was also recorded. The library launched several new approaches to achieve the objective including purchasing a large Touch Table on which electronic anatomy resources can be used, working directly with faculty and students to better anticipate and understand periods of high demand, and ordering additional models. Results : Successes have been increased use of the physical anatomical model collection and increase in the types of students who are using the collection. Challenges have been convincing students or teaching faculty to use the electronic anatomy resources on the Touch Table, despite sponsoring classes, working with the university’s tutoring center, and trying various locations. Other challenges have been making the anatomical model collection available “just in time” during periods of high demand. A reservation system was piloted but quickly abandoned due to unanticipated problems using text messaging for alerts that a model was ready for use. Conclusion : Anatomical models resources are in demand on most health sciences campuses. Physical anatomical models are still most preferred, even when good and more accessible electronic versions are made available. Transitioning from physical to electronic for anatomical model resources will require partnership and buy-in from teaching faculty resulting in gradual culture change.Item Open Access Determining New Directions for a Rural Academic Library/ Outreach Services Program: What was learned from a 2006 needs assessment of healthcare providers.(2006-10-15) Ketterman, Elizabeth; Simpson, SusanA needs assessment of healthcare providers in the rural, 23-country Eastern AHEC region results in changes to the delivery of library and information services.Item Open Access House Calls at The Country Doctor Museum: Museum Serves Rural Community with Mobile Health Units(2015-02-06) Anderson, Anne; Schindler, Jennie; Cottle, JasonSymposium poster describes the efforts by The Country Doctor Museum, a small history of rural medicine museum, to meet its community's need for access to health screening and information through the use of mobile health units.Item Open Access Franklinization: Early Therapeutic Use of Static Electricity(2012-01-23) Chalovich, JosephLaupus Library History Collections & the Department of Bioethics & Interdisciplinary Studies sponsor the History of Medicine Presentations as an educational service for the East Carolina University community.
