Gardening at Alaska Medical Library - freshens the air and delights
our clients!
From a few scraggly survivors of the 2003 renovation, our staff have
propagated and repotted their way to the present cornucopia of 30 plants.
Not only do these condition the air and beautify the space, but they
immediately break the ice and produce unusual gifts for surprised visitors
- a natural marketing tool!

systematic reviews and evidence based medicine; Comparative Effectiveness
Research is related to all of these, and has just seen a dramatic increase
in funding. I will to discuss the role of librarians in the support of
comparative effectiveness research, map this work to expert search
services currently provided by professional librarians and describe a
number of resources available to support both librarians and researchers
undertaking systematic reviews and comparative effectiveness reviews.

Virtual Reference with No Budget: Using DimDim for Information
Literacy Consultations

DimDim, to provide live, virtual reference to answer patrons' search

The Substance Use Screening & Assessment Instruments Database
To answer our own frustration over difficulty tracking down
questionnaires, we created an online database of measures to screen and
assess alcohol and drug problems. The database now includes nearly 670
measures, including those with demonstrated validity and research or
clinical utility (“gold stars”), new instruments just published in
peer-reviewed journals, public-domain and proprietary instruments (with
information on how to obtain copies), and much more.
