Design Example: Identifying the Locations of Monuments in the Field Using Global Positioning System Device

448
Surveyors use Global Positioning System (GPS) technology to measure the precise location and elevation of points on Earth. In a recent survey, GPS receivers were used to determine the coordinates and elevations of two park monuments. The process involved careful mission planning, data collection, and correction to ensure accuracy. The survey began with mission planning to identify optimal satellite visibility and minimize Position Dilution of Precision (PDOP). A geodetic control point...

iPS Cell Differentiation

3.3K
The ability of induced pluripotent stem cells or iPSCs to differentiate into most body cell types has stimulated repair and regenerative medicine research over the past few decades. iPSC-derived blood cells, hepatocytes, beta islet cells, cardiomyocytes, neurons, and other cell types can repair injuries or regenerate damaged tissue in diseases such as diabetes and neurodegenerative disorders.

Area of Science:

  • Health Sciences Librarianship
  • Medical Informatics
  • Information Science

Background:

  • The integration of mobile technology into healthcare settings is rapidly evolving.
  • Health sciences librarians play a crucial role in information dissemination and user support.
  • Understanding the adoption patterns and leadership potential of librarians with new technologies is essential.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the adoption of the Apple iPad2 by health sciences librarians.
  • To identify how librarians integrated iPads into their daily workflows and services.
  • To explore the leadership roles librarians assumed in promoting mobile technology.

Main Methods:

  • A 2012 project involved 48 health sciences librarians from hospital and academic libraries.
  • Participants received an iPad2, along with comprehensive training and ongoing support.
  • Data was collected to evaluate iPad adoption and the emergence of leadership roles.

Main Results:

  • Eighty-nine percent of participants intended to continue using the iPad post-project.
  • The iPad was primarily adopted as a productivity tool and for point-of-need services.
  • Librarians actively assumed leadership roles in advocating for mobile technology and its applications.

Conclusions:

  • Health sciences librarians can effectively integrate iPads into their professional practice.
  • Mobile technology adoption by librarians can extend to leadership in promoting digital tools.
  • The study highlights the value of providing training and support for technology integration in libraries.
