Teaching About Evidence-Based Practice
MLA CE credits – 8 contact hours
Member price: $100 / Non Member price: $120 / Non Member Student
price: $110
Instructor: Lisa Traditi
Description:
This course will provide participants with the information necessary to
start or improve their classes on searching the literature for the
evidence and applying evidence to health sciences practice. Participants
will explore the librarian's role in evidence-based practice (EBP),
develop learning exercises using evidence-based database resources,
explore and develop methods for integrating EBP into the curricula of
health sciences programs, and leave with planning and marketing tips for
their evidence-based health care instruction. This course uses
demonstration, small and large group learning formats, and discussion in a
highly interactive and hands-on style.
Bio:
Lisa Traditi spent 9 years as a hospital librarian before coming to the
University of Colorado Denver Health Sciences Library in 1996 as Head of
Education, where she finally realized her dream of being paid to tell
library patrons exactly where to go and what to do once they get there -
in search of information, of course. She has an MLS from the University of
Arizona and is a Distinguished Member of the MLA Academy of Health
Information Professionals (AHIP). In addition, Lisa is a member of the
task force to thread Informatics and Evidence Based Medicine into the
School of Medicine curriculum. Lisa and husband Frank, along with their
dog, Amos, spend almost every summer weekend somewhere in the Colorado
Rockies in their pop-up tent trailer - next up is a spot in South Park,
Colorado.

Copyright in the Electronic Age
4 contact hours
Member price: $50 / Non Member price: $70 / Non Member Student price:
$60
Instructor: Rachel Bridgewater
Description:
Once a dry and esoteric corner of the legal world, copyright has become
a hot topic in recent years as changes in technology and behavior put
pressure on the law. This course will review copyright theory and law
especially as it applies to libraries. Topics to be covered include fair
use, user education, document delivery and resource sharing. We’ll also
discuss copyright’s constant companion – licensing. The course will
balance discussion of practical day-to- day concerns with big-picture
discussion.

Screencasting: Creating Online Tutorials
MLA CE credit – 4 contact hours
Member price: $50 / Non Member price: $70 / Non Member Student price:
$60
Instructor: Alison Aldrich
Description:
Building on concepts of understanding learning styles and how to
organize and ‘chunk’ instructional content for the online environment,
this course’s main goal is to teach librarians best practices for creating
effective screencasts (video-based online instruction modules) using
Camtasia Studio and other similar tools. Student learning outcomes for
this full-day, face-to-face workshop include: the ability to determine how
to get the most from your screencasts; learning how to divide content into
logical chunks that are most appropriate for online learners; an
understanding of best practices for creating content for your topic (e.g.
storyboarding, script writing, and voiceover/narration); an understanding
of what hardware and software tools work best for which content (and best
sources for acquiring needed tools); and the ability to assess the
effectiveness of screencasted content.
