ABSTRACT Our nation’s military veterans share a connection through their service, making them a distinctive community with unique information requirements. Community-based solutions are crucial to meet veterans where they are, and libraries of all types are in a position to help. In recognition of this, the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) awarded a grant to Texas A&M University, which held a forum attended by 250 librarians from across the United States. The discussions covered how veterans are currently being engaged, what services and programs are working, and where improvements could be made. Toolkit committees were then formed to brainstorm service and program ideas for veterans that can be utilized in various library settings, including medical facilities. These toolkits were uploaded to a freely available repository so that librarians can use and adapt these resources to develop their own veteran-oriented programming. Results from this collaboration among librarians have led to new connections, friendships being formed, and the generation of even more creative solutions to reach veteran populations. While considerations such as respecting copyright and dealing with grant funding appropriations are present, this should not keep librarians from utilizing these resources. This project is meant to be an ongoing and evolving effort. New ideas and collaborations are not just welcomed but encouraged to best serve these veterans who have so selflessly sacrificed for their country.

In terms of a universal phenomenon, consider this: Ask any friend or colleague to name a time when seeking medical care, that he or she felt fear, pain or frustration, or even experienced outstanding support or relief from these feelings, and you will get a graphic and detailed recollection of an event from their personal health memory bank. Every medical care consumer has their own intensely personal memories of past care events. Most are eager to offer listeners a timeline followed quickly by a discussion of an array of medical care experiences. These recollections often involve details of conversations from a doctor’s visit or perhaps a glimpse of a harrowing trip to an ER. Perhaps they repeat the compassionate reassurance of a nurse, the direct and solemn recommendation of a specialist or the chat at check-in with ancillary staff. There will be stories of wellness checks peppered with the lasting first impressions of dawning understanding evolving from owning a new diagnosis. Maybe they put into words how they came to the realization of a now permanent change in capacity or a loss of function. To varying degrees, we all seem to have these sorts of retained imprints, and most are willing to share their own medical landmarks through casual conversation. These anecdotal stories will flow on to feature how one person learns to grapple with a diagnosis that brings threats to the illusions of one’s own safety. These reminiscences might be decorated with health-care successes of a patient regaining their independence while learning to overcome and normalize new personal health issues, or lean toward impressions from a scary radiology scan, painful lab draws and even shadowy images of routine childhood vaccinations and visits. But across these lifetimes, most folks would be hard-pressed to frame any health-care memory evoking more confusion, uncertainty and anxiety than those formed in the early months of 2020 as hospitals, doctor’s offices, clinics and diagnostic service centers across the nation along with health-care facilities world-wide in concert with private civilian industry histrionically changed course in response to the global threat of the COVID-19 pandemic.

ABSTRACT When The Learning Center, a consumer health library at a cancer center, closed its doors in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there was not a robust system of virtual outreach in place. Staff decided to implement a chat/SMS service as one way to reach patrons during the library’s 16-month shutdown, but usage numbers were low. A variety of factors can affect use and complicate success, and quantitative measures may not be the sole factor in evaluating a new service and whether it should continue. This article will talk about service implementation, challenges and context, patron and staff satisfaction, and lessons learned from the process.

ABSTRACT The Academy of Health Information Professionals (AHIP) was established in 1989 by the Medical Library Association (MLA). The premise was to design a program and skill set to contribute to the highest level of professional standards. Not all librarians apply for membership in AHIP which requires continuous professional development in terms of committee membership, conference attendance, publication, and continuing education. Some may not see the value of membership or may not understand exactly what it is. It is a personal choice for all those involved in health sciences and medical libraries. Librarians may take part in professional development opportunities without applying for membership.

One can conclude that life from March 2020 to summer 2021 and even to the present has been most interesting for hospitals and hospital librarians. A few hospital librarians stayed in place and kept their libraries open but with masks as the new normal. Many libraries closed doors but offered remote services. When doors reopened, plexiglass partitions were put into place and social distance measured. Unfortunately, some librarians lost their jobs and hospital library doors closed permanently. This author took her digital library home and postponed an ambitious rounding schedule until summer 2021. This is a perfect time for all hospital librarians to conduct honest personal and strategic reflections on the hospital library’s programs and services. A librarian can do this alone or in a group and can use a recognized strategic analysis technique. Analyzing strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats using the SWOT model or a similar matrix, such as TOWS or OTSW, helps to identify favorable or unfavorable internal and external factors to achieve goals. Strengths and weaknesses identify internal factors from within the organization that can be manipulated or controlled. The internal analysis identifies resources, capabilities, and core competencies as well as the hospital librarian’s and the library’s competitive advantages. Consideration should be given to finances, management style, suppliers, marketing, planning and innovation (1). The external analysis identifies opportunities and threats that need to be overcome, usually from outside over which the library and librarian may have no control. If completed successfully, the SWOT/TOWS/OTSW analysis will create an action plan. SWOT analysis is composed of the following elements (Figure 1). Strengths demonstrate tangibles and intangibles that the library does well, whereas weaknesses expose what a library does not do well. Opportunities offer favorable conditions to move programs and services forward and threats reveal conditions for unfavorable happenings. At the conclusion of the SWOT analysis the hospital librarian can clearly realize an action plan to improve weaknesses, capitalize on strengths and opportunities and stand firm against threats. Another way to consider results of the analysis is taking advantage of

Shaare Zedek (SZ) Medical Library serves approximately 700 physicians, 1,200 nurses, 250 nursing students and hundreds of medical students. The library holds 1,500 printed books, 700 printed journals and provides access to more than 8,000 electronic journals and 2,000 electronic books. In 2015 SZ Medical Library launched a digitization project to convert part of its collection of printed journals to electronic format. In the span of five years, a very limited library staff the library digitized 2,452,683 pages. As of March 2022, approximately 740,000 pages were fully processed including optical character recognition (OCR). Processing scanned pages has become part of the library staff’s routine. Digitization of scientific journals is not a new idea. Large-scale digitization projects and initiatives started in the late 1980s and the early 1990s (1). Today the majority of scientific journals are published in electronic form only and a growing number of printed journals are switching to electronic only (2–5). The electronic-only trend is particularly noticed in life-science and medical journals (6). Articles describing various digitization projects are available in the literature (7,8). Such projects range from very large scale projects undertaken by large scientific publishers to local initiatives undertaken by small institutional libraries (8,9). Shaare Zedek (SZ) library is a medium size hospital library holding about 1,500 printed books, 600–700 printed journals and provides access to more than 8,000 electronic journals and 2,000 electronic books. In 2015 SZ Medical Library launched a digitization project to convert part of its collection of printed journals to electronic format. This paper describes all the stages of this project from its conception.

ABSTRACT Busy health-care professionals have a duty to apply the evidence base to practice and decision-making. Health-care knowledge and library specialists have the skills to provide efficient and effective evidence searches. To identify the advantages and cost benefits associated with knowledge and library specialists undertaking evidence searches on behalf of health-care professionals, evidence from a literature review was combined with impact case studies of evidence searches in NHS Knowledge and Library Services, identifying time savings and cost benefits. The cost-effectiveness ratio for knowledge specialists delivering evidence searching services was identified as 1:3.85 with the current net benefit to the NHS in England estimated at £37 million (42 million U.S. dollars). A range of additional benefits are also generated through using knowledge and library specialists. Greater investment in these specialists would ensure accelerated access to better quality evidence and maximum benefit across health-care systems.
