Beyond the Survey-Qualitative Research Practices and Techniques
Elizabeth Bolander, Director of Audience Insights and Services at The Cleveland Museum of Art. Elizabeth will be leading a 3.0 Medical Library Association (MLA) continuing education class on qualitative research practices and techniques. This entry-level, hands on workshop will cover ways of gathering, managing, and analyzing qualitative data. Participants will learn best practices for conducting one-on-one interviews with patrons and walk away ready to tackle their own exploratory qualitative research projects. The MLA CE credits have been generously underwritten by the National Network of Libraries of Medicine, Greater Midwest Region (NNLM GMR).
NNLM GMR Update and the New PubMed
Sam Watson from the NNLM GMR, will be sharing an update on the activities of the NNLM GMR and answer questions about the new version of PubMed. PubMed is a free database of more than 30 million citations and abstracts of peer-reviewed journals in the biomedical and life sciences. Sam has graciously offered to take our PubMed questions beforehand so that he can customize his presentation. Remember to have your PubMed questions ready to share when you register.
This is a great opportunity to learn about qualitative research, get updated on the latest news in the medical library world, and meet health sciences librarians from all over Ohio!
