An integrated study resource for veterinary students at the University of Edinburgh: the library and the “Study Landscape”
Get PDFIn 2011 the Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies moved its teaching and learning activities to one campus. The Lady Smith of Kelvin Veterinary Library now links to the Study Landscape, a student-centred space for self-directed learning. This allows students access to a range of physical and electronic resources including specimens and themed resources. This paper presents the practical experiences of the author in collaborating with academic and technical colleagues to populate the Study Landscape with appropriate resources. This collaboration has increased our understanding of the different learning resources used in veterinary medicine and can assist us in our provision of more ‘traditional’ library services to the Veterinary School

Design, development and implementation of a mobile learning strategy for undergraduate medical education
Get PDFThis paper describes the process of introducing a mobile learning strategy into a medical school by issuing iPads to clinical students. Data was collected from focus groups, surveys and by engaging a number of student “iPad champions”. Students had a positive attitude and experience with the iPads for learning and highlighted some areas for improvement particularly for electronic sign-off. Introduction of mobile technology into medical education is proving to be popular with medical students. Early adoption of mobile technology brings medical students closer to the digital healthcare environment which is rapidly adopting the use of electronic health records, electronic xray and laboratory order and online evidence-based practice tools to support patient care
Re-inventing the e-book: how tablets increased e-book take-up at Bern University
Get PDFThis paper reports how at Bern University the medical library services successfully used the tablet platform to significantly improve students’ acceptance of e-books and other e-resources.Although Bern University had closed its main medical library with the loss of its print monograph collection, students until recently rejected e-books as too inconvenient for intense revision. Only when over the last two years tablets became part of students’ basic toolkit, and the library selected e-books, apps, interface and ancillary software to work with tablets, e-books became more palatable to readers
The new EAHIL website is launched!
Get PDFThe groundwork for creating a new website has been an ongoing process for several years, involving many creative people along the way. It’s the result of collective work of those who created and maintained our former website, who contributed to the Web task force, and all those who have given input, practical work, support and cheering as we built the new site. It’s been great fun to work on design with the web bureau, to sharpen our focus to prioritized needs of EAHIL, and to gather photographs and interview members
Observation research techniques
Get PDFThis paper outlines the aims of the observation techniques workshop delivered on 11 June 2015, and discusses the experience of the group work sessions. Some participants explained their own experience of observation research, and participants discussed sampling, methods used to collect data and the ethics of observation research. The session participants concluded that observation research was a useful complementary technique for library research. More research published by library and information science practitioners and researchers would help to establish best practice in observation research
