Bring a laptop or an iPad with keyboard to this session.
Target Audience: Everyone is welcome at this interactive but self-directed session. Participants who have in-progress projects, can go directly to the appropriate table. Participants, who have ideas but remain unsure about whether they should do a project, could spend the time determining feasibility of a program or project.
1) Idea Exchange: Develop bullet points of ideas or a 150-200 word abstract for a program, project, or proposal. Then – find someone at your table (or a moderator/session coordinator) to talk through the project or proposal. If your idea requires refinement, you can stay or move to a different table.
2) Keeping up with the Literature/Literature Search: Health information professionals must thoroughly review the literature before developing a new research proposal or designing a project or program. Take time now to read from your previously identified articles or start the literature search.
3) Peer Review: Prospective attendees will spend 30 minutes chatting with and getting feedback on an abstract or manuscript. Note: For this table only, Abstracts or Manuscripts must be supplied to hoogland.margaret@gmail.com (Subject Line “CHLA Conference”) a minimum of one week prior to the conference!
4) Write, Write, Write: Writing is hard work – in this distraction reduced space, take your time to edit, draft, or revise a project proposal, work on a manuscript, or maybe get started on your annual report documentation. Either way, the session coordinators will ensure your time is protected from distractions.

As the Clinical Medical Librarian, I support the faculty, staff, students, residents, fellows, and trainees in the College of Medicine and Life Sciences at The University of Toledo. A part of my position includes supporting the College of Medicine's journal (aka Translation) and connecting researchers of all different levels of experience together - usually, it's working to connect students with faculty or trainees. When I am not doing any of these, I usually end up creating research projects to improve my understanding of a problem or situation.
