The Standards Committee of the Veterinary Medical Libraries Section was appointed in May 2000 and charged to create standards for the ideal academic veterinary medical library, written from the perspective of veterinary medical librarians. The resulting Standards for the Academic Veterinary Medical Library were approved by members of the Veterinary Medical Libraries Section during MLA 03 in San Diego, California. The standards were approved by Section Council in April 2005 and received final approval from the Board of Directors of the Medical Library Association during MLA 04 in Washington, DC.

Introduction: Avec labondance dinformation gratuite disponible en ligne, la tche de trouver, de trier et dacheminer de linformation pertinente lauditoire appropri peut savrer laborieuse. En dcembre 2010, la Bibliothque virtuelle canadienne de sant / Canadian Virtual Health Library (BVCS) a form un comit dexperts afin didentifier, dvaluer, de slectionner et dorganiser des ressources dintrt pour les professionnels de la sant. Mthodes: Cette affiche identifiera les dcisions techniques du comit dexperts, incluant le systme de gestion de contenus retenu, lutilisation des lments Dublin Core et des descripteurs Medical Subject Headings pour la description des ressources, et le dveloppement et ladaptation de taxonomies partir de la classification MeSH. La traduction franaise des descripteurs MeSH laide du portail CISMeF sera galement aborde. Rsultats: Au mois de mai 2011, le comit a lanc la base de donnes BVCS de ressources en ligne gratuites sur la sant, regroupant plus de 1600 sites web et ressources. Une varit de types de contenus sont reprsents, incluant des articles et rapports, des bases de donnes interactives et des outils de pratique clinique. Discussion: Les bnfices et dfis dune collaboration pancanadienne virtuelle seront prsents, ainsi que linclusion cruciale dun membre francophone pour composer avec la nature bilingue de la base de donnes. En lien avec cet aspect du projet, laffiche sera prsente en franais et en anglais. Introduction: With the abundance of freely available online information, the task of finding, filtering and fitting relevant information to the appropriate audience, is daunting. In December 2010 the Canadian Virtual Health Library / Bibliothque virtuelle canadienne de sant (CVHL) formed an expert committee to identify, evaluate, select and organize resources relevant to health professionals. Methods: This poster will identify the key technical decisions of the expert committee including the content management system used to manage the data, the use of Dublin Core elements and Medical Subject Headings to describe the resources, and the development and adaptation of taxonomies from MeSH classification to catalog resources. The translation of MeSH terms to French using the CiSMeF portal will also be discussed. Results: In May 2010, the committee launched the CVHL database of free web-based health resources. Content ranged from online articles and reports to videos, interactive databases and clinical practice tools, and included more than 1,600 websites and resources. Discussion: The benefits and challenges of a virtual, pan-Canadian collaboration, and the critical inclusion of a Francophone member to address the bilingual nature of the database, will be presented. In keeping with the nature of the project, the poster will be presented in French and English.

Introduction: Coordination through CVHL/BVCS gives Canadian health libraries access to information technology they could not offer individually, thereby enhancing the library services offered to Canadian health professionals. An example is the portal being developed. Portal best practices are of increasing interest (usability.gov; Wikipedia portals; JISC subject portal project; Stanford clinical portals) but conclusive research is not yet available. This paper will identify best practices for a portal bringing together knowledge for Canadian health professionals supported through a network of libraries. Description: The portal for Canadian health professionals will include capabilities such as: Authentication Question referral Specialist branch libraries Integration of commercial resources, web resources and health systems data Cross-resource search engine Infrastructure to enable links from EHR and decision support systems Knowledge translation tools, such as highlighting of best evidence Best practices will be determined by studying the capabilities of existing portals, including consortia/networks and individual institutions, and through a literature review. Outcomes: Best practices in portals will be reviewed. The collaboratively developed Virtual Library, currently the heart of cvhl.ca, is a unique database collecting high quality, free web documents and sites relevant to Canadian health care. The evident strengths of the Virtual Library will be discussed in light of best practices. Discussion: Identification of best practices will support cost-benefit analysis of options and provide direction for CVHL/BVCS. Open discussion with stakeholders (libraries and professionals) informed by this review will lead to adoption of the best technical solutions supporting Canadian health libraries and their users.

Introduction. Graphic medicine is defined as the use of comics in health sciences education and patient care. Graphic stories about personal experiences of illness from patients and their families can be used to illustrate distress, empathy and collaboration between family members and health professionals and thus give students a broader experience of disease. We present a collection of graphic novels and outline collaboration with professors from various faculties in order to use comics as teaching material in health sciences. Method. The university has health sciences faculties of Nursing, Medicine, Pharmacy, Dentistry, Veterinary Medicine and schools of Public Health, Optometry and Kinesiology. The Health Library is offering its patrons a collection of 40 comics mainly on the theme of patient and family illness experience. An ongoing survey gathers feedback from users; results will help us promote the collection. A librarian is working with professors from the facultiesof Nursing, Medicine and Pharmacy in order to integrate comics excerpts into e-learning modules for three health and social services interprofessional courses reaching more than 1000 students annually. Other courses teaching empathy and partnership with patients will be identified and professors will be approached to raise awareness of the collections potential as teaching material. Results. The collection has been available to patrons since October 2012. Survey responses collected so far are very positive and titles are regularly borrowed. The collection has been added as suggested reading in a physiotherapy course outline. Discussion. The comics collection is already widely used by our patrons. Steps are being taken to integrate the collection into more health sciences courses and thus define graphic medicine as teaching material in health sciences education at the university.
