    Doing Better with LibGuides in 2019: Creating a Departmental LibGuide Template for an Evolving Library
    (2019-10-06) Stumpff, Julia C.; Lilly, Jason A.
    Objective: In the spring of 2018, a campuswide LibGuides Task Force initiated a peer-review process with the goal that all guides would be updated and reviewed by the summer of 2019. However, many of the Ruth Lilly Medical Library librarians who created departmental LibGuides no longer work at the library. As responsibilities were re-assigned, librarians who inherited responsibility for guides were overwhelmed by the task of updating them without guidance from the creators. To address this issue and to come into compliance with institutional standards, a Departmental LibGuide template was created. Methods: Two librarians researched library-wide institutional guidance for LibGuides, best practices for LibGuides and writing on the web, in general, and other Health Sciences departmental Libguides. Further, they analyzed existing departmental Libguides to determine most-used page headings. Based on this research and analysis, the librarians created a departmental LibGuide template. This was presented to librarians, and changes were made in response to feedback received. Results: Since initial implementation, the template has been tweaked in response to Departmental feedback and additional input from librarians. It is anticipated that once all Guides are updated, future Libguide updates will not be as cumbersome for librarians. Conclusions: It is hoped that using a simple LibGuide template will make it easier for librarians to maintain Departmental LibGuides. In the future, we plan to streamline the process further by creating an asset list of ebooks to be maintained by the library’s Content Management department and to conduct usability research on the departmental LibGuides.

    A Systematic Review of Digital vs Analog Drainage for Air Leak After Surgical Resection or Spontaneous Pneumothorax
    (Elsevier, 2020) Aldaghlawi, Fadi; Kurman, Jonathan S.; Lilly, Jason A.; Hogarth, D. Kyle; Donington, Jessica; Ferguson, Mark K.; Murgu, Septimiu D.; Ruth Lilly Medical Library, School of Medicine
    Background The concerns regarding air leak after lung surgery or spontaneous pneumothorax include detection and duration. Prior studies have suggested that digital drainage systems permit shorter chest tube duration and hospital length of stay (LOS) by earlier detection of air leak cessation. We conducted a systematic review to assess the impact of digital drainage on chest tube duration and hospital LOS after pulmonary surgery and spontaneous pneumothorax. Methods Ovid MEDLINE, PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, Scopus, and Google Scholar were searched from inception through January 2019. We included randomized controlled trials, cohort studies, and case series of adult patients, using digital or traditional drainage devices for air leaks of either postsurgical or spontaneous pneumothorax origin. Results Of 1,272 references reviewed, 23 articles were included. Nineteen articles addressed postoperative air leak, and four articles pertained to air leak after spontaneous pneumothorax. Thirteen studies were randomized controlled trials. Digital drainage resulted in significantly shorter chest tube duration in eight of 18 studies and shorter hospital LOS in six of 14 studies for postoperative air leak. For postpneumothorax air leak, digital drainage resulted in significantly shorter chest tube duration in two of three studies and hospital LOS in one of two studies with an analog control group. Conclusions Most studies show no significant differences in chest tube duration and hospital LOS with digital vs analog drainage systems for patients with air leak after pulmonary resection. For post-spontaneous pneumothorax air leak, the limited published evidence suggests shorter chest tube duration and hospital LOS with digital drainage systems.
