Tips for Healthy Aging: A Conversation About Dementia with Dr. Nancy Isenberg
Nancy Isenberg, M.D., MPH, is a neurologist at Swedish Edmonds who cares for patients with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. She is the medical director of the Center for Healthy Aging, where patients and their families receive comprehensive care that goes beyond treating dementia to address the emotional, physical and social challenges that come with it.

Are You Doing It Backward? Improving Information Literacy Instruction Using the AALL Principles and Standards for Legal Research Competency, Taxonomies, and Backward Design
AALL recently approved Principles and Standards for Legal Research Competency for law students and lawyers that can be used by academic law librarians to design curricula that will help correct deficiencies in law students' information literacy skills. These principles and standards focus on developing legal professionals' ability to conduct legal research, use and analyze information, transfer knowledge between subject areas, and reflect on learning experiences. Neither the principles themselves nor the publications on which they are based explain how the principles are to be incorporated into the curriculum. Backward design can be used by librarians to create information literacy instruction, assessments, and activities that facilitate student learning of the principles and standards
