Depositing Intellectual Property into Deep Blue

Deep Blue is the University of Michigan's permanent, safe, and accessible service for representing our rich intellectual community online. This poster, developed for the Michigan Gastrointestinal Peptide Research Center Annual Retreat in 2012 explains what Deep Blue is, the "director's cut", why to deposit, and how to deposit.http://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/89608/1/DepositingIntellectualPropertyintoDeepBlue.pd

Updated Clinical Considerations for Dental Implant Therapy in Irradiated Head and Neck Cancer Patients

An increasing number of reports indicate successful use of dental implants (DI) during oral rehabilitation for head and neck cancer patients undergoing tumor surgery and radiation therapy. Implant‐supported dentures are a viable option when patients cannot use conventional dentures due to adverse effects of radiation therapy, including oral dryness or fragile mucosa, in addition to compromised anatomy; however, negative effects of radiation, including osteoradionecrosis, are well documented in the literature, and early loss of implants in irradiated bone has been reported. There is currently no consensus concerning DI safety or clinical guidelines for their use in irradiated head and neck cancer patients. It is important for health care professionals to be aware of the multidimensional risk factors for these patients when planning oral rehabilitation with DIs, and to provide optimal treatment options and maximize the overall treatment outcome. This paper reviews and updates the impact of radiotherapy on DI survival and discusses clinical considerations for DI therapy in irradiated head and neck cancer patients.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/99596/1/jopr12028.pd

Using Google and Google Scholar for Evidence-Based Dentistry

Google and Google Scholar are commonly used to find evidence to support clinical decisions. While generally easy to search, the result sets in these resources tend to be large and at times difficult to navigate. This paper describes strategies and techniques that will help clinicians overcome this difficulty and create more precise Google and Google Scholar searches.Peer Reviewedhttps://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/137668/1/UsingGoogle&GoogleScholarforEBD.pd

Librarian integration in a four-year medical school curriculum: A timeline

The Taubman Health Sciences Library (THL) is integrated in all four years of the University of Michigan Medical School (UMMS) curriculum. Information resources are introduced at strategic points throughout the curriculum so that students receive training at times when they are most likely to need the resource. Most of the core instruction sessions are taught in teams that consist of librarians and UMMS faculty, which provides unique learning opportunities for students. This article describes each THL instruction activity in the four-year undergraduate UMMS curriculum and provides commentary on the overall effectiveness of this integrated approach to instruction.Peer Reviewedhttps://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/137669/1/LibrarianIntegration.pdfDescription of LibrarianIntegration.pdf : Articl

Using onsite office hours to connect with healthcare professionals

Four librarians at the A. Alfred Taubman Health Sciences Library recently began offering on-site office hours to four distinct units within the University of Michigan Health System and academic health sciences environment: the School of Dentistry, School of Public Health, Cardiovascular Center, and a research laboratory in the Comprehensive Cancer Center. The goal of each office hour experience was to better reach and more proactively support the information needs of underserved clients, while also providing the librarians with more visibility in the units. Despite relatively low walk-in rates, the librarians found that the exposure gained by offering the office hours made each experience an invariable success.Peer Reviewedhttps://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/137670/1/Using On site Office Hours to Connect with Health Care Professionals.pdfDescription of Using On site Office Hours to Connect with Health Care Professionals.pdf : Articl

Four Strategies for Finding Good Evidence Efficiently

Searching PubMed and other citation resources is an essential component of evidencebased practice. The inability to create effective searches can impact the ability of clinicians to incorporate evidence into their decision-making processes. This paper describes four strategies to help clinicians find evidence efficiently through targeted, well-designed literature searches.Peer Reviewedhttps://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/137666/1/FourStrategiesForFindingEvidence.pdfDescription of FourStrategiesForFindingEvidence.pdf : Article proo

Using PubMed for Evidence-Based Dentistry

Quickly finding high-quality scientific studies is an important part of the evidence-based process. PubMed, which is a free gateway to journal literature for the health sciences, is a common platform used by dentists and dental hygienists for this purpose. This article highlights lesser-known features of PubMed that can greatly improve a clinician’s ability to find high-quality evidence.Peer Reviewedhttps://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/137667/1/UsingPubMedforEvidenceBasedDentistry.pdfDescription of UsingPubMedforEvidenceBasedDentistry.pdf : Article proo

Term Harvesting & Generation Guide

The "Term Harvesting & Generation Guide" outlines term harvesting strategies to help build the list of search terms for advanced literature reviews, such as systematic reviews. The Guide was developed by a team of Taubman Health Sciences Library Informationists as an instructional tool for the Systematic Reviews: Opportunities for Librarians Workshop and Advanced Literature Searching in the Health Sciences Massive Open Online Course.https://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/153785/4/Term_Harvesting_and_Generation_Guide.pd
