Hawaii-Pacific Chapter of the Medical Library Association Annual Meeting
John A. Burns School of Medicine
Health Sciences Library
March 12, 2010
The Annual Meeting of the Hawaii-Pacific Chapter of the Medical Library Association (HPCMLA) was held at the John A. Burns School of Medicine (JABSOM), Health Sciences Library.
Members of the Chapter were fortunate to have Kay Deeney, Education Coordinator, National Network of Libraries of Medicine, Pacific Southwest Region (NN/LM PSRML), Louise M. Darling Biomedical Library, Center for the Health Sciences, UCLA, give an Advanced PubMed class: “PubMed Clinics of North America: a problem-based approach to PubMed searching”.
The class focused on a problem-based approach in learning to search the redesigned PubMed database. Through case studies, group exercises and hands-on practice, participants became more efficient PubMed searchers. The class was geared for intermediate and advanced PubMed searchers. We earned 3.5 continuing education credits for the class was 3.5 hours long, and at MLA ’10, which will be in Washington D.C. May 21-26, it will be a 4-hour class, you will earn 4 CE credits, and will cost $315!
The hands-on practice in JABSOM’s computer lab was very helpful, especially with Kay giving the class and being there to give us pointers in searching.
Julie Kwan, the Acting Associate Director of the NN/LM PSRML, and the Library Network Coordinator, gave the Regional Medial Library Update. Very interesting talk, and she again emphasized the importance of libraries doing Disaster Planning. As the incoming Chair of HPCMLA, I am hoping we can begin doing this planning among the medical libraries of HPCMLA.
We had lunch at the Pavilion Café, Honolulu Academy of Arts, which everyone who attended, always enjoys.
Mary Ryan, the Immediate Past President of MLA spoke: “MLA Update: Reflect and Connect” on her past year as MLA President.
The HPC-MLA Annual Business was held in the afternoon. We approved the 2009 Annual Business Meeting minutes, the Treasurer gave his annual report of HPCMLA’s accounts, the Immediate Chair, Carolyn Dennison summarized the 2009 Chapter events for the year:
