Health sciences librarians can access continuing education (CE) through innovative technology. This pilot program offers flexible, location-independent learning opportunities, enhancing professional development for librarians.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Librarianship
  • Continuing Education
  • Health Sciences Information

Background:

  • Health sciences librarians require continuous professional development to stay abreast of evolving information landscapes.
  • Emerging technologies offer potential solutions for delivering accessible and timely continuing education (CE) programs.
  • The William H. Welch Medical Library initiated a planning project to enhance librarian effectiveness through technology-enhanced CE.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To plan, implement, and evaluate a pilot continuing education program for health sciences librarians.
  • To leverage emerging technologies for delivering flexible and geographically independent educational opportunities.
  • To create a sustainable, web-based resource for ongoing professional development.

Main Methods:

  • A pilot CE program was designed with a three-day general session (four tracks) and a one-day special topic session on Human Genome Project informatics.
  • An electronic poster session was integrated, running concurrently with the general interest session.
  • The program was delivered simultaneously via on-site, telecourse, and online (World Wide Web) formats.

Main Results:

  • The pilot program was planned and implemented, with a mid-point status report detailing programmatic and technical progress.
  • Multiple delivery formats (on-site, telecourse, online) were utilized to maximize accessibility.
  • Electronic proceedings were published online to serve as a persistent CE resource.

Conclusions:

  • Emerging technologies can effectively deliver continuing education to health sciences librarians, overcoming geographical barriers.
  • A blended learning approach combining various formats enhances reach and engagement.
  • The pilot project provides a foundation for future, scalable technology-enhanced CE initiatives for librarians.
