GRANTS
Submitted,
October, 2002. Modeling Successive Medical Searches. National Institute of
Health/National Library of Medicine. Cheryl Dee, Principal Investigator;
Amanda Spink, Co-Investigator. $290,000.
The
proposed study proposes to examine and model successive medical searching by
medical searchers of National Library of Medicine (NLM) databases to model
the process of successive medical search and provide criteria for enhancing
NLM medical database systems and interfaces. The study objectives include
examining successive medical searches by a set of medical information seekers
participating in mediated medical database searches over time to
characterize: 1. Progressive changes that occur over successive medical
searches, including changes in information problems; information seekers'
cognitive and affective states, and search queries, strategies and relevance
judgments, and 2. Changes over time in the medical information resources. The
study is an observational, longitudinal study. Data will be collected at the
University of South Florida (USF).
Submitted,
October, 2002. Meeting Senior Citizens’ Information Needs. National Library
of Medicine/National Network of Libraries of Medicine. Cheryl Dee, Principal
Investigator. $14,617.
The proposed study proposes to
directly teach seniors to gather medical information independently, train
librarians to teach seniors about medical searching, and to begin to gather
information about the medical information needs and medical information
seeking behavior of senior citizens. Library staff from the Polk County
Library Cooperative, a library consortium consisting of 16 libraries in Southwest
Florida, will be taught how to search PubMed,
ClinicalTrials.gov, and MEDLINEplus with particular
emphasis on meeting the needs of the senior citizens of the Polk
County area. In another training
session, introductory techniques covering how to search PubMed
and MEDLINEplus will be offered to the senior
citizens in Polk County
at the Lakeland Public Library and also at the Polk County Library
Cooperative computer training facility. A third training effort will be
directed at teaching medical searching techniques to a small selected group
of senior patients in the Day Treatment Program of the Peace River Center,
Inc., a mental health facility.
