2010 CE Survey - Details on the Questions for 'Other'

• I'm currently unemployed, so cost is a big issue
• October is a bad time of the year for me, as the Autumn academic quarters start in late Sept./early Oct. Not a good time of year for me to attend a conference
 
• Lost half of our staff, time off is now always tricky
 
• Relevancy of the content of the meeting
 
• PNC/MLA not a central focus for me
 
• I am going to school, too busy with work & school to add in meetings. Feel like I am keeping up with trends by contacts at school
 

• Price and topic combined. It's about the ROI
 
• Price, topic, AND length of class all factor into my decision
 
• My schedule
 
• Combination of above - length of class
 

• No computer at home
 
• Would rather leave site for a 1/2 or full day course less interruptions
 
• Can't get into blogs, etc.

• I haven't done a number of the above, but would be open to them if the utilities were free. We're blocked from Youtube at our facility
 
• Videoconferenceing, room-to-room or workstation-to-workstation or variations
 
• I am open to participating in distance learning in any of the above formats
 
• I have difficulty sitting in my shared office doing any kind of scheduled online learning. I prefer asynchronous methods. I very much dislike reading much off the screen
 
• I would prefer integrating Slide presentations or video into an interface like Moodle where it is organized into a course progression of study, such as those Alison has organized/overseen (RML) in 2009
• YouTube is blocked at my place of work. (darn it)
 
• I much prefer live and in person instruction
  
• Anything that is more interactive than a traditional webinar and that goes beyond the "here are my slides and what I have to say" paradigm.

• Beginning docline
 
• Helping nursing staff with research, training in evidence-based instruction
 
• How to implement access to KBI resources from within an EMR system
• Anything from Greg Notess or someone similar relating to online (cloud computing, freeware, shareware, etc) tools
• A class on how to use SharePoint (or Drupal), and what are the implications for librarians
 
• I've been a health sciences librarian for almost 30 years, which is why I have a low interest in some of the classes. I could teach them, though
• Evidence-based research, research government information for health policy
 
• Change management
 
• 1)Evidence-based medicine/nursing (I attended one several years ago and am still interested in pursuing more info. & skills)
  2)How to make your Web site more relevant to users. Including evidence-based info/links/resources
  3)Medical Informatics: how can it apply to the hospital librarian?
 
• Double "very interested" on consumer-driven/participatory health care & librarians involvement!
 
• Effective use of Twitter and social bookmarking services in library science
 
• I really enjoyed the series on expert searching with Dolores & OHSU staff. I would love more like that
 
• LibGuides - advanced
• Excel - advanced
 
• LinkOut
• How to manage e-journals
 
• Medical research - what is on the horizon in treatments, discoveries, etc. Of course this is something I could read about if I had the time, but it would be interesting to listen to a medical professional speak on this topic at the conference
 
• Update on copyright information--digital, print, etc.
