    Making Connections at the Personal & Curricular Levels
    (2013-04-19) Gordon, Shannon; MacDonald, Kathy; Stapleton, Jackie
    Making personal connections and building relationships. Connecting people to information at points of need is at the heart of what we do. As Health Sciences Liaison Librarians at the University of Waterloo, these Librarians will share practical approaches they have used to make connections at the personal & curricular levels in the Department of Kinesiology, and the Schools of Optometry, Pharmacy, and Public Health and Health Systems. Areas to be explored include the value of: - Making personal connections with students early in their academic career - Building meaningful and relevant relationships with researchers - Providing point of need support in the curriculum through assignment based instruction - Strategically marketing our expertise While these Liaison Librarians have their own success stories to share, they also want attendees to learn about innovative approaches taking place in the broader TUG environment. To accomplish this, there will be time for the audience to make personal connections with each other and engage in active discussion. This will provide an opportunity to learn from colleagues, gain insight into areas of interest, and ultimately leave with practical ideas that can be applied to their own liaison and outreach work at TUG libraries.

    Systematic Reviews and the Evolving Role of Librarians
    (2014-01-29) Davies, Marian; Gordon, Shannon; Hutchinson, Rebecca
    The demand for systematic reviews (SR) in research intensive health related departments is rapidly increasing, and academic librarians have the expertise necessary to support these comprehensive reviews. In summer 2013, three University of Waterloo health librarians surveyed faculty on their current and future systematic review work. Through this process we determined researcher expectations of librarian support and identified multiple ways to meet their needs. Our poster illustrates possible librarian roles in the systematic review process, and how our expertise can be used towards knowledge creation.
