Iowa has just added their Go Local link in Medline Plus. So far the only interest in taking on this project for Idaho has come from Beth Hill at Kootenai Regional Medical Center.

Think about this project and brings ideas to our annual spring meeting coming up Friday May 16th in Boise.

See you there!

Our own Ruiling Guo, from the Idaho Health Sciences Library at Idaho State University has with her colleagues been published in the April issue of the Journal of the Medical Library Association. 

Her article is on the information needs assessment of Idaho's Speech-Language Pathologists and Audiologists. Ruiling did an outreach program to teach these professionals about Evidence Based Practice and how to search for evidence using library databases.

The IHIA executive board is planning your annual spring meeting. We will be meeting in Boise this year.  The tentative date is May 16 at St Lukes. Please mark your calendar, and if you have plans to stay in Boise, be aware hotels are getting booked up fast, it is also commencement weekend for BSU.  A new CITATION will be coming out in April with meeting details.

My doctoral journey is moving forward. I am in Spring Semester taking Quantitative Research and Organization Theory. I am still interested in Evidence-based Practice and find my classes are giving me a better understanding of information diffusion and the research practice gap.  Kathy

I am a new Ph.D. student in a new distance program.  I am one of 7 women who are enrolled at Emporia State University.  We spent 3 days together in Emporia, Kansas learning about the program in an orientation program and now are working together online using Horizon Wimba and other tools to attend our three credit classes and complete our class work.
