Value of Libraries Survey Launch

Due to the generosity of twelve different regional and national library groups, including the Philadelphia Regional Chapter, the launch of the National Network of Libraries of Medicine, Middle Atlantic Region (MAR/NNLM) Value of Libraries study (“The Value of Library and Information Services in Patient Care “) is ready to launch. The goal of the study is to measure the value and impact of library and information resources on clinical decision making by physicians, residents, and nurses. The study has been in the planning stages since November 2006, when the Regional Advisory Committee of the MAR/NNLM determined that the influential and highly cited Rochester study needed to be updated to reflect the current, technologically complex library environment. [See: “Measuring the value and impact of health sciences libraries: planning an update and replication of the Rochester Study.” J Med Libr Assoc. 2009 Oct; 97(4):308-12. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2759150/?tool=pubmed] The Value of Libraries study includes an online survey of physicians, residents and nurses; interviews with respondents at selected institutions; and librarian focus groups.

We need your assistance promoting an online nursing education survey

Greetings,

Please excuse the cross posting.

I am doing research in use of on-line learning resources (including virtual worlds like Second Life) for nurse education. Would you please share with your institutions’ departments of nursing the information the link to survey where we are gathering data?

The survey asks questions regarding attitudes toward online learning and the use of gaming or virtual worlds. The url is:

We have had a wonderful response thus far and hope to gather more data over the coming weeks. The survey will run throughout October.

Thank you all in advance.
