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 want to make sure that you are the best information searchers you can be - and to work on your team as 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, don't be surprised if I ask to
     A) Set up an appointment to meet with you;
     B) Attend faculty and staff meetings and departmental orientations and functions;
     C) Participate in your Journal Club;
     D) Sit in on Grand Rounds;
     E) Round with you in your clinic.

In fact, beat me to the punch. Go ahead, invite me!
