Library Sciences
Thanks to Sandra Kendall (now retired) a partnership was established with the medical librarian with the goal to improve access to e-resources, to improve the print collection and to provide training in clinical librarianship.
To achieve the goals set out in the Library partnership letter of 2008, the TAAAC Library Program established an Action Plan which is continually updated. An important part of this Action Plan is to develop a training program in clinical librarianship at the university level.
The TAAAC-library sciences team travel annually to the Black Lion Hospital AAU to provide training for the librarian and library assistants, and they co-teach with the team all the various disciplines of students to learn essential library skills e.g. how to conduct a literature search, understand and use up-to-date, HANORI, evidence based assessment tools etc Since 2011 well over 1500 students have taken the course. Involvement between the TAAAC UofT and the AAU medical librarians continues throughout the year by email.
