Michele Matucheski, MLS, AHIP, presented on the topic of “Literature Search
Evaluations: Assessing Our Impact and Proving Our Worth to Quality Care.”
Michele demonstrated the survey tool she and Deb Knippel
developed which asks users how their librarian-mediated searches impacted
patient care, changed practices, and decision-making at their
organization. The survey results are
then populated into visual graphs and charts that make the data easy to
understand and interpret. The visual
report will be used to educate organizational administrators as well as
stakeholders about the value of Library Services.
With the availability of survey tools like QuickBase,
Survey Monkey, and other applications,
it makes creating such surveys, collecting the data, and crunching the
responses a breeze.
WHSLA Members listened intently, and asked excellent
questions, generating even more ideas and possibilities for this kind of user
feedback.
Michele works as a Librarian for
Ascension-Wisconsin. She is based at
Mercy Medical Center in Oshkosh, serving Affinity Health System and Ministry
Health Care.
