Donna O'Malley Talk: Digital Collection of Medical Student Research

Please join the Libraries' Staff & Faculty Development Committee next Wednesday, January 9 at 12:00 noon in the Dean's Conference Room when we welcome Donna O'Malley and her presentation on a "Digital Collection of Medical Student Research."

Here's a brief 'teaser' about Donna's talk:

All medical students at the UVM College of Medicine undertake scholarly research projects in collaboration with Vermont community agencies and UVM faculty advisors. In addition to fulfilling educational goals for the students, these projects contribute to improving the health of their community. The projects culminate in a scholarly poster presentation, after which the posters are rolled up and stored in the COM education office.

With the cooperation of the COM faculty member who directs the public health research class, I used this collection of posters to explore the role of the Dana Medical Library in creating digital collections. This presentation will describe decisions made in creating the collection and provide screenshots of public and private views of the repository.

Looking forward to seeing you next Wednesday!
