Keynote Speaker
Where Are We Growing? Health Sciences Libraries in the Next Decade and Beyond
What is on the horizon for health sciences libraries? How do libraries demonstrate value and advocate for continued funding and staffing as universities and hospitals experience loss of public support, greater government oversight, and financial challenges? This presentation will address societal trends such as the growth of artificial intelligence, issues of diversity and inclusion, and competing institutional interests and share how libraries can leverage their expertise to successfully weather potential storms and grow stronger in the coming decade.
Lucy Holman currently serves as the Associate Provost for Teaching, Learning and Library Services and Dean of the University of North Carolina Wilmington Library. Prior to UNCW, she worked in Maryland academic libraries for almost 20 years, most recently serving as Dean of the Library at the University of Baltimore from 2008-2018 and as an Associate Professor in the Yale Gordon College of Arts and Sciences, Division of Science, Information Arts and Technologies at UB from 2011-2018. In both her most recent positions she has led library renovation and expansion projects.
Lucy holds a doctorate in Interaction Design and Information Architecture from the University of Baltimore and an M.S.L.S. and B.A. in Journalism and History from UNC Chapel Hill. Her research interests include users’ mental models of information retrieval, library website design, and discovery tool interface design. She also often presents on library leadership and advocacy.
Lucy has also been active in service to the library profession, holding numerous leadership positions including President of the Maryland Congress of Academic Library Directors (CALD), President of the MD Chapter of Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL), President of the Maryland Library Association, and MD Chapter Councilor for the American Library Association. She recently served as Secretary for the UNC Libraries Advisory Council and is currently the managing editor of the Journal of New Librarianship.
Continuing Education
Visualizing the Value of Researcher and Institution Publications – iCite
2 MLA CE
First, attendees will hear about the background of iCite and how it works. They will also learn about the Relative Citation Ratio used to show impact factor. Next, they will use an author name or institutional grant citations to determine the value of the author citations or the value of the grant citations for the institution. Attendees will examine the results through the Influence, Translation and Citations that are attached to the publications. Finally, the attendees will download reports that they can return to their institution to show the value of using iCite instead of pay services.
Resource URLs: iCite https://icite.od.nih.gov & PubMed https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Learning Objectives
Attendees by the end of the class will be able to:
- Describe iCite and how it functions.
- Describe the Relative Citation Ratio and how it is calculated.
- Analyze PMIDs using the iCite software.
- Download reports to take back to demonstrate the value of the author or grant publications.

Her publications include book chapters on using evidence to improve surgical care safety, the importance of evidence in general patient safety, writing grants, and health information literacy. She has published 12 peer-reviewed articles on a variety of topics with her Health Science Library colleagues, medical students, and summer undergraduate and high school students. She has been a distinguished member of the Academy of Health Information Professionals MLA since 2009. Active in MLA committees and caucuses, she served on the Board of Directors for the association from 2012-2015 and served a three-year term as President-Elect, President and Past-President.
Providing Consumer Health Information in Underserved Rural Areas
3 MLA CE
Successfully providing consumer health information to specific populations relies on knowing how to build a connection between your information resources and your audience. This course will take you through this process from beginning to end using free authoritative health information materials and activities. This class will help you uncover ways to use health information materials with theoretical communities as well as your own populations. Although our focus will be primarily on rural and underserved communities, as that is our experience and expertise, the main principles of this course can be applied to building information outreach initiatives with other types of communities as well.
Outcomes:
- Students will know how to use resources highlighted to research their communities / assess potential community concerns.
- Students will know how to match authoritative health information materials with identified community concerns.
- Students will build a brief outreach plan outlining potential community collaborators, health concerns to highlight, materials to promote, and potential roadblocks to expect.
