    Enterovirus D68 in the MCR http://nnlm.gov/mcr/news_blog/2014/09/enterovirus-d68-in-the-mcr/ http://nnlm.gov/mcr/news_blog/2014/09/enterovirus-d68-in-the-mcr/#comments Fri, 12 Sep 2014 17:51:26 +0000 http://nnlm.gov/mcr/news_blog/?p=20437 From the CDC:

    From mid-August to September 11, 2014, a total of 82 people in Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky and Missouri have been confirmed to have respiratory illness caused by EV-D68. This is a higher than normal incidence for this time of year.

    There is no specific treatment for people with respiratory illness caused by EV-D68. For mild respiratory illness, you can help relieve symptoms by taking over-the-counter medications for pain and fever. Aspirin should not be given to children. Some people with severe respiratory illness may need to be hospitalized. There are no antiviral medications currently available for people who become infected with EV-D68. For more information visit the CDC EV-D68 Page 1.usa.gov/1pd0Tyr  /ch

    When: Thursday, September 18, 12pm MT, 1pm CT

    Registration (no cost): nnlm.gov/gmr/training/lakeeffects/

    Location: webmeeting.nih.gov/lakeeffects/

    Gerald (Jay) Jurek will explore alternatives to traditional project management. Jay will discuss when and why libraries benefit from project management. He will explain three change-driven project life cycles which contrast with traditional project management.

    Jay is a Librarian and Visiting Professor at the Library of the Health Sciences (LHS) at the University of Illinois at Chicago. He is currently charged with oversight of the major renovation at LHS, and a variety of service improvement programs at this library. Given his focus on the needs of library users and interest in organizational models that promote library innovation, Jay’s presentation is sure to provide a fresh and exciting perspective on an increasingly important area of library administration.

Preliminary national data indicates there’s been a 20% drop in grant funding since 2004. I was pleased to note there weren’t any of our MCR states on the Top Ten List of Notable Declines but nor were there any on the Top Ten List of Notable Increases. Is your funding up? Is it down? Is the same? See for yourself by clicking here. jb

    Needs of children in disasters and emergencies are different than adults; health officials, responders, and providers face unique challenges when planning for and providing care to children. Multiple U.S. Department of Health and Human Services agencies and funded organizations collaborated to develop a comprehensive online guide that will serve as a central source for pediatric-related disaster and emergency health information. This new resource brings into one place professional-level materials, documents, web sites, and articles distinctly about children from authoritative sources, including government, private, non-profit and international organizations and agencies. Learn about this robust new resource, the collaboration behind it, and how it can make your information searching more efficient. Sponsored by the NLM Disaster Information Management Resource Center.

    There is a new MCR game blowing in from the far north… http://nnlm.gov/mcr/news_blog/2014/08/new-mcr-game-blowing-in/ http://nnlm.gov/mcr/news_blog/2014/08/new-mcr-game-blowing-in/#comments Mon, 25 Aug 2014 21:55:09 +0000 http://nnlm.gov/mcr/news_blog/?p=20211 Hello Network members!

    Do you recall last year’s awesome game hosted by the RML? Mission I’mPossible? where Agent Kitty Serling was our winner? Were you one of the agents playing the game or maybe you wished you were?

    Well, have we some great news for you folks who like playing games while at the same time competing with your colleagues, learning new things, and doing good stuff at your library or institution.

    We don’t want to give the theme away…yet! But I will give you a tiny hint. It involves cyclones, witches, munchkins, and cities made of emeralds plus part of the storyline is located in one of the states in our region and starts with the letter “K”. If you are lucky (or super smart) and can name the theme, please contact John Bramble with your answer to see if you’re correct.

    Please stay tuned to future RML news announcements for details and launch date!

    Ebola Outbreak Information Resources Page http://nnlm.gov/mcr/news_blog/2014/08/ebola-outbreak-information-resources-page/ http://nnlm.gov/mcr/news_blog/2014/08/ebola-outbreak-information-resources-page/#comments Mon, 25 Aug 2014 19:51:59 +0000 http://nnlm.gov/mcr/news_blog/?p=20227 Forwarded from NLM:

    A new web page, Ebola Outbreak 2014: Information Resources, is now available from the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM) Disaster Information Management Research Center. The resources on this page may be of value to international and local organizations and individuals providing Ebola outbreak-related services in West Africa, as well as friends and family of people in the affected region.

    Also, a reminder that NLM has activated the Emergency Access Initiative in support of medical efforts in West Africa. For a description of the Emergency Access Initiative (and other resources from publishers) see Free Resources from Publishers for Medical Responders on the new Ebola Outbreak page.

    The news story, NLM Launches Emergency Access Initiative, Granting Free Access to Books and Journals for Healthcare Professionals Fighting Ebola Outbreak, provides more detail on the NLM response to the Ebola outbreak.   /ch

Share your proud moment when you saved a life, played a key role in a patient’s health care choice, saved your institution thousands of dollars, helped your institution make a major decision. We all have these stories. Let’s not be shy, it’s time to brag about them.

    October is Medical Librarians Month. Your stories will be collected and made available on the web for you and others to use. More about this later. We also plan to use some of these stories for a financial impact research project that the RML is working on.

    MCR’s Online Office Consults…check it out! http://nnlm.gov/mcr/news_blog/2014/08/mcrs-online-office-consults-check-it-out/ http://nnlm.gov/mcr/news_blog/2014/08/mcrs-online-office-consults-check-it-out/#comments Mon, 25 Aug 2014 18:30:55 +0000 http://nnlm.gov/mcr/news_blog/?p=20205 A few weeks ago, we announced a new way you can access your RML staff by going to their online offices during their office hours.

    We know what you’re thinking…you have always been able to connect with MCR staff just by picking up the phone or by shooting them an email, right?

    I ask (again), can a phone or an email share a live view of a webpage (either yours or theirs), download a document right then and there, see Claire’s bright smile, or see how cool Marty has set up her online office? If you answered “yes” you’re wrong or using some newfangled phone/email service that you’re obligated to share with me what it is.

    Come, on! Come and check out our new staff webpage  and see the many things we can help you with. Caution! Conversations could be frank!
