Item Do antibiotics prevent recurrent UTI in children with anatomic abnormalities?(Dowden Health Media, 2004-06) Shakil, Amer; Reed, Lane; Wilder, LauraItem Gathering Customer Input Prior to Home Page Redesign: An Ontological Study(2002-11) Alexander, Katherine; Harker, Karen; Higa-Moore, Mori Lou; Mayo, Helen; Wilder, Laura; McKibbon, ShelleyIn the summer of 2001, the Library's Content Team, which addresses the selection of content in the Library's Web site, studied how clients organize and describe information. Specifically, we wanted to identify which library resources and services were considered to be most important by our clients, how clients would organize the library's electronic resources and services, and the terminology clients would use to describe their groupings. The results will be used in the redesign of the library's home page. This poster presents our library's experience in planning and conducting this study, which involved a multi-level card sort. We will report on the process we developed to guide us through this study, from setting our initial goals to analyzing the data. We will present our card sort methodology as well as the participant-selection process, which involved the use of our client contact database and other unique approaches to encouraging participation by self-selected volunteers. We will share our detailed working procedures, such as the development of a shared calendar to manage scheduling and a participant database to track responses. Finally, we will present our analysis methods for the gathered data and identify the resources necessary to complete this type of study successfully.Item Health Programs in Faith-Based Organizations: Are They Effective?(American Public Health Association, 2004-06) DeHaven, Mark J.; Hunter, Irby B.; Wilder, Laura; Walton, James W.; Berry, JarettOBJECTIVES. We examined the published literature on health programs in faith-based organizations to determine the effectiveness of these programs. METHODS. We conducted a systematic literature review of articles describing faith-based health activities. Articles (n=386) were screened for eligibility (n=105), whether a faith-based health program was described (n=53), and whether program effects were reported (28). RESULTS. Most programs focused on primary prevention (50.9%), general health maintenance (25.5%), cardiovascular health (20.7%), or cancer (18.9%). Significant effects reported included reductions in cholesterol and blood pressure levels, weight, and disease symptoms and increases in the use of mammography and breast self-examination. CONCLUSIONS. Faith-based programs can improve health outcomes. Means are needed for increasing the frequency with which such programs are evaluated and the results of these evaluations are disseminated.

After investigating several potential products, we eventually licensed with Library Systems & Services, LLC (LSSI) to use their Virtual Reference Desk software. However, once the purchase was complete and all the contracts were signed, the need to market the new service became our next priority. While we developed a detailed marketing plan for the service that did include both flyers and newsletter articles, this poster focuses specifically on the effort we made to market the service on the Library's Web site. To get started, we had to consider some very basic but essential concepts of graphic design: purpose, design specifications, and limitations of images; "branding" of similar services; and delivery and placement of images. Initially, a single, static Web page was developed to provide a single Web service point for several similar services, and the new page was "launched" at the same time as the new service. However, because of low response or interest, a second tier of Web graphic marketing was implemented with a slight change in design and wording to clarify the service, which eventually increased point-of-use availability to the most important Library Web pages.Item Is osteroporosis screening in menopausal women effective?(Dowden Health Media, 2003-04) Phillips, John; Krist, Alex; Wilder, Laura; Lefevre, Michael L.Item Is screening urinalysis in children worthwhile?(Dowden Health Media, 2003-11) Stephens, Mark B.; Wilder, LauraItem Q/Should you test for H pylori in patients with nonulcer dyspepsia?(Quadrant HealthCom, 2011-12) Lanier, J.
