Summary
Health sciences libraries use LibGuides for online resources and instruction. Many libraries have not yet adopted this innovative platform for library guides, indicating potential for broader implementation.
Area of Science:
- Library and Information Science
- Health Sciences Librarianship
Background:
- Charles R. Drew University (CDU) Health Sciences Library has utilized LibGuides innovatively since 2012.
- Innovative uses include creating e-book databases, technology tutorials, and event pages.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess the extent of innovative LibGuides usage in health sciences and hospital libraries.
- To compare current LibGuides practices with those at CDU.
Main Methods:
- An eight-question survey was developed by CDU librarians.
- The survey was distributed to health sciences and hospital libraries in Southern California and Arizona.
Main Results:
- Libraries primarily use LibGuides for accessing online resources.
- LibGuides are also used for supplementary instructional materials.
- A significant number of libraries have not yet adopted LibGuides.
Conclusions:
- LibGuides are predominantly used for resource access and instructional support in health sciences libraries.
- There is a notable gap in LibGuides adoption among surveyed institutions.
- Further exploration of innovative LibGuides applications is warranted.

2.1K
Problem-intervention-evaluation (PIE) is a systematic approach to documentation used in healthcare settings for clinical decision-making and patient care planning. It is a structured approach to organizing patient data based on problems, interventions, and evaluations. Here's a breakdown of its key features and considerations:

01:23Methods of Documentation V: CBE
1.5K
Charting by Exception, or CBE, is a method of documentation used in healthcare, particularly in nursing, that focuses on documenting only significant or abnormal findings rather than recording every detail. This approach aims to streamline the documentation process, improve efficiency, and ensure that healthcare providers can quickly identify deviations from normalcy in patient assessments.
In CBE, healthcare professionals establish predefined standards of practice that define what constitutes...

02:35RACE - Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends
7.5K
Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends, or RACE, is one of the most effective methods to obtain a full-length cDNA from an mRNA sequence between a known internal region to the unknown sequence at the 5’ or 3’ end. The unknown region is cloned in the cDNA by a gene-specific primer that binds the known end, and a hybrid primer that attaches a predefined anchor sequence to the unknown end of the cDNA. The sequence in between is amplified by PCR with an anchor primer and a gene-specific...

5.9K
Allosteric proteins have more than one ligand binding site; the binding of a ligand to any of these sites influences the binding of ligands to the other sites. When a protein is allosteric, its binding sites are called coupled or linked. In the case of enzymes, the site that binds to the substrate is known as the active site and the other site is known as the regulatory site. When a ligand binds to the regulatory site, this leads to conformational changes in the protein that can influence...
