Whom I serve
If you're in the following departments/areas, don't hesitate. Please contact me. I am your official Welch Library informationist:
What I can do for you
As your Welch clinical informationist, it's my job to help you do yours. I want to ensure that you maximize your ability to access and effectively use state-of-the-art information resources and technology when you need it, wherever you are - in your office or home office, in your classrooms and clinics, on-the-go and at the point of care.
As a professional librarian and National Library of Medicine-trained medical informatics researcher*, I can be your information expert.
As we get to know each other, we'll discover how I can best help you. For now, however, here is a sample of some of the services I can provide:
Getting to know you
To expedite getting to know your needs and jump-start service to you, don't be surprised if I ask to
A) Set up an appointment to meet with you;
B) Set up regular office hours in your department;
C) Attend -- and eventually present at -- faculty and staff meetings and departmental orientations and functions;
D) Participate in your Journal Club;
E) Sit in on Grand Rounds;
F) Round with you in your clinic.
In fact, beat me to the punch. Go ahead, invite me!
* Additional details about my training, experience and useful skills: database management systems coursework and project experience; a year of graduate statistics coursework; small grant-writing experience and NSF and NIH grant editing experience -- something I can do for projects on which I am a collaborator; master’s degree in journalism; leadership positions in state- and national-level organizations, including the American Medical Informatics Association.
