Below are sample articles from the recent issue. Looks like a nice little journal with applied implications.

It is some of the clearest, most immediately usable graphic educational material I’ve even seen. Free of bombast and heavy on illuminating principles.

It seems like everything has a longer instruction manual, more undecipherable terminology, and more pieces to break, than ever before. My job at work has become incredibly complicated as the State of California keeps multiplying their requirements for student data. My cell phone has so many bells and whistles that it just seems like a bundle of complexity. My car has over 16 buttons on the steering wheel alone and over 25 more on the radio… what are all these things?? So here is a question… Is anything getting simpler? Does anything just work, anymore? Can I actually say… I know how this operates without an instruction manual? Well… I’ve run into three things lately that seem to fit the bill. 1. A Good Book. Yes I c...

The book is a self-guided course to teach you how to support breastfeeding mothers in Spanish. It’s an extremely helpful tool for building effective communication skills. Not only does it provide the necessary grammar and vocabulary for breastfeeding support, it also provides the one thing I have often found lacking in foreign language instruction — conversation skills! All the vocabulary and grammar will not get you very far if you do not feel comfortable actually speaking the language. The written and audio exercises offer the perfect practice that will allow the lactation specialist to apply these skills in real-life breastfeeding s...

Miles & Associates, a respected and established consulting firm. Dr. Savage has a diverse history in dentistry, ranging from a Navy dental officer to being the first female president of the Washington Dental Association to running two successful private practices. Why is Dr. Savage a Great Mind? She says, “All practices should increase profits every year, even in the current recession.” And she can show you how to make it happen. DB: What has your history been in dentistry? I started working in the front office of a dental practice while in high school. Then, in 1976, I became a dental assistant and continued that for four years.

Q: Why do you say this edition is "brain-based"? A: Because the Q&A frame we are using is inspired by how Chris at Ouroboros recently hosted Encephalon Brain and Mind blog carnival. (Is classic Greek making a comeback?). Q: As educators, what inspires us to do what we do? A: Tracy suggests, "Hope for the future". Q: And what may happen in the future? A: Eric proposes that the field can learn much about how athletes train their minds and bodies to maximize performance. Q: What should not happen in the future? A: Dave hopes we stop the Textbook Insanity, killing trees to create books not everyone uses. Q: What comes first, sub...

I’ve already discussed what I do for the incoming students: library case studies/scavenger hunt and the PubMed tutorial.  This year I did the same.  The actual orientation itself, the scavenger hunt, went well again this year, though it was definitely not received with the same enthusiasm as last year.  For one thing, we weren’t giving out gift certificates to Chipotle as prizes for the winning team.  Another thing was that the students had the mornings to shadow physicians, which meant they were dressed to the nines, some of them (high heels and exploring the campus do not go well together).

Here’s a news release that a friend sent me, and here’s the Google announcement. Lorcan Dempsey also provides coverage. I find this interesting for a number of reasons: 1) a library near me will be one of the libraries in Google, and 2) the Authors Guild just sued the Google Print project, even though publisher after publisher has admitted that Google Books IMPROVES sales. Sigh. My library system is apparently investigating SecondLife. This amuses me to no end, since we have no programming staff who could devote their time to do this, and since many, many library staff still aren’t comfortable with some of the other social software staples like blogs, wikis, and RSS. My supervisor ran across... omg tuna is kewl blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=677012 Thu, 07 Jun 2007 00:11:34 +0100 677012 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=509312&cid=t_108266_87_f&fid=34865&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thecancerblog.com%2F2007%2F03%2F29%2Fas-illiteracy-stacks-up-patients-suffer%2F Filed under: All Cancers, Research, Environment, Daily newsIn 2003, 29 percent of the American population had only basic prose literacy skills and 14 percent had below-basic skills. Prose literacy measures the skills needed to understand texts such as new stories, brochures, and instruction manuals. People with basic skills can perform simple, everyday literacy activities. Those with below-basic skills are proficient in only the most simple and concrete literacy.How is it that these individuals, when they are diagnosed with a disease such as cancer, are able to understand the medical jargon thrown their way, the literature that piles up in front them, the complicated process we call the medical system?They aren't.
