This document outlines a project to provide public health departments with improved access to trusted library resources. It identifies core resources that will be made available through a digital library interface. Partnerships have been established with state public health departments and hospital/academic libraries. Training has been provided to public health workers on literature searching and evidence-based practice. Usage data shows that resources are being utilized, especially journals in key topic areas. The project enhances evidence-based public health practice through improved access to scientific literature and guidelines. Evaluations indicate the resources and training are supporting public health workers' competencies and job functions.

2. Why This Project : Goals & Technology
Relationship to National /State Initiatives
Selected Resources Tied to Sources of Evidence
Work Within Existing Environment
3. Unequal access to trusted library resources
Public Health Departments have lost
in-house libraries, budget, and staff
Library models are in constant change;
many caught in dated practices and
licenses dictate access policies.

6.
Identify core, useful, trusted e-resources to State
Departments of Health to improve evidencebased practice.
Provide direct access to subscribed + resources
through an organized “digital library” page.
Promote ubiquitous access based on IP
authentication and enterprise licensing.
Train on resources & tools related to scientific
literature review to support evidence-based
practice.
Monitor and update aspects of evaluation plan
(data model)
7. IT authentication provides direct access
to full-text;
SharePoint (Web application) is utilized
to manage access when staff is located
distant from main site;
NLM’s linkout technology improves
connectivity to full-text;
E-Book interoperability with trusted
resources saves time and energy.

Scientific literature in systematic reviews
Scientific literature in one or more journal articles
Public health surveillance data

Incorporate system strengths of existing government
agencies: NLM, CDC, NAL.
Partnerships with libraries and agencies to facilitate
timely information.
Resources (both licensed and freely) integrate
major health findings into routine work.
Resources support improved practice and nurture
career pathways for the public health workforce.
Training encourages use of scientific literature to
support work related processes.
Enterprise licensing provide cost efficiencies.

Hinweis der Redaktion
Tools to be designed to be usable by non-technical users. Sharepoint is often used to provide internet portal management. It also has system integration and process integration.
Where does evidence come from?
Access is built on PHD IT strengths, enterprise licensing and improved collaborations with agencies and libraries. Related to “built” environment.
.
Maintain existing partnerships
Journal SurveyMonkey (recommended by Maine CDC as one of first in project) to findout what journals are already being used by the public health workforce and and who owns subscriptions (personal, e.g., through membership), by Department or scattered through. Information is useful in providing a more enterprise approach to access.First survey designed to provide baseline data for both the public health department and the Project.Pre/Post Training links– identifies what resources are familiar and used – also allows an opportunity to vent.
Remember the graphic only depicts use by individualphds – the total is calculated in the chart.
Identification of what is core, useful to improve evidence-based practice. $2.23. Cost of License $22,153
This is a segment now provided by leadership, epidemiologist (in Maryland’s case, it was Don Shell, MD. MPH Director of the Cancer and Chronic Disease, Bureau, Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. All content areas contain same/similar objectives. Instructors include personnel from Resource Libraries, hospital libraries, RML personnel (in some cases), Project Coordinator, and selected vendors. Training runs from 9:00 am-1:00 on day 1 (longer time alloted for EndNote) and 9:00 am - 12:30 on second day. Training is combination of demo with people following along at computer; short ppt’s for introduction followed by subsequent exercise.**What resources were chosen and why;
