What’s in a Name? Making the “Library” Relevant to 21st Century Nursing Education
Liz Bayley
Director of the Health Sciences Library, McMaster University

Liz Bayley has worked with the BScN program at McMaster for over 20 years to integrate “library” skills into the curriculum. Terminology has changed, with “information fluency” being the current buzz phrase. Resources have changed, with the explosion of electronic resources. Delivery has changed, with learning management systems and online tutorials. Communication has changed with email, chat and now twitter. But have the basic principles changed? Liz will describe her experience and the lessons she has learned.

Scholarship – When will Nurse Educators Catch up to Librarians
Rick Vanderlee
Dean for Applied and Professional Studies at Nipissing University in North Bay

In this presentation, Dr. Vanderlee will share three personal and social library stories as a means to answer the question – when will nurse educators catch-up to the librarians? These stories will be set within the shifting professional knowledge landscape that we are all experiencing with respect to changes in information access and web technologies; and it will end with several ‘lessons learned.’ These lessons learned will be explored to help us understand if both nurse educators and librarians can or should find ways to work together to improve the educational experience for nursing students.
