    Indiana Health Resources: 2004 Update
    (H.W. Wilson Company, 2005) Brahmi, Frances A.
    In 1982, I compiled a chapter on Indiana health information resources that was published by the Midwest Health Science Library Network: Basic Library Management for Health Science Librarians, Indiana Edition, 2nd edition. Since then, the World Wide Web has become the provider of choice for such resources, making them more accessible and enabling them to be updated more frequently. This article updates the earlier compilation and includes Web addresses and annotations, as well links to useful databases. Not intended to be comprehensive, it may serve as a starting point for librarians new to Indiana.

    MEDICAL STUDENTS’ PERCEPTIONS OF LIFELONG LEARNING AT INDIANA UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE
    (2008-02-06T16:20:16Z) Brahmi, Frances A.
    This study explored medical students’ perceptions of Lifelong Learning (LLL) at Indiana University School of Medicine (IUSM). The IUSM was selected because it has been in the forefront of the competency-based curriculum movement since 1999, a trend for which IUSM is now a leader among undergraduate medical education (years 1-4 of medical school). This study addressed the following issues: 1) definition of LLL, 2) LLL development, 3) LLL attitudes and behaviors, 4) role models, and 5) LLL and technology.

    Teaching First-year Medical Students Where to Go First: Connecting Information Needs to e-resources
    (Final, published articles can be found at: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/02763860902816909#.Um_SrVMntaU doi: 10.1080/02763860902816909, 2009-04-21) Whipple, Elizabeth C.; Richwine, Margaret (Peggy) W.; Kaneshiro, Kellie N.; Brahmi, Frances A.
    The purpose of this project was to introduce first-year medical students to electronic resources that are best suited for different types of background questions. Specific questions from a case study were presented, and the students generalized them into a ‘‘type’’ of question. They then identified the best e-resources for that type of question. This is their first introduction to the lifelong learning competency in the Indiana University School of Medicine competency-based curriculum.

    Zotero: A Product Review
    (Routledge, 2009) Gall, Carole; Brahmi, Frances A.; Trinoskey, Jessica
    Zotero is a free and open source Firefox extension that exists within the web browser and allows one to collect, manage, store, and cite resources in a single location.1 Zotero automatically imports citation information from a number of sources, including: non-subscription, newspaper and commercial websites, and web databases such as PubMed and MedlinePlus. Zotero offers more options for note taking than the better-known citation management system, EndNote. Sixteen citation styles are available when Zotero is initially downloaded, with many more freely available. Zotero also integrates with Microsoft Word once users install a plug-in. Though Zotero does not have an on-demand customer support service, its website offers a wealth of information for users. The authors highly recommend Zotero
