    Creating a new “reality” for medical education: the Nexus Reality Lab for virtual reality
    (2019-10-01) Lilly, Jason; Kaneshiro, Kellie N.; Misquith, Chelsea; Dennett, Brandon
    Background: The Technology Team at the Ruth Lilly Medical Library, Indiana University (IU), first started exploring virtual reality (VR) in 2016. In 2017, we began offering weekly sessions dubbed VRidays (“VR Fridays”) to give students an opportunity to experience the technology. We also purchased a portable VR setup that allowed us to demonstrate VR at our regional campuses. Description: To lower the entry barrier to VR, the Technology Team collaborated with the IU Advanced Visualization Lab to establish a reality lab in our collaborative learning space. The lab opened in the fall of 2018 and consists of four high-end VR stations that are accessible to students at any time, but they can also make an appointment for a more guided experience. Information and instructions are available on a LibGuide. Conclusion: We are currently collecting data on the number of unique users and evaluating application usage. We are working on a feedback mechanism and looking to develop collaborative partnerships across the university.

    Providing real-time resources in support of LGBTQ+ and HIV+ populations as information experts on the ECHO hub team: a case report
    (Pitt Open Library Publishing, 2021) Menard, Laura; Misquith, Chelsea; Ruth Lilly Medical Library, School of Medicine
    Background: Project ECHO (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) is a telehealth initiative that aims to reduce disparities in delivery of health care by leveraging technology and local expertise to provide guidance on specialized subjects to health care providers across the world. In 2018, a new ECHO hub convened in Indianapolis with a focus on health care for individuals in the lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and queer (LGBTQ+) populations. This ECHO iteration was one of the first of its kind and would soon be followed by a new human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) ECHO as well. Case presentation: In a novel approach, information professionals participated in the early planning stages of the formation of these ECHO teams, which enabled the provision of real-time medical evidence and resources at the point-of-need once the teams were launched. This case study demonstrates proof of concept for including health sciences librarians and/or information professionals in the ECHO as hub team members. In this case study, the authors describe and quantify the value added to the HIV and LGBTQ+ ECHO sessions by the medical librarians, as well as provide a template for how other telehealth initiatives can collaborate with their local health information professionals. Conclusions: Librarian involvement in Project ECHO over the past three years has been enthusiastically received. The librarians have contributed hundreds of resources to ECHO participants, helped build and curate resource repositories, and expanded the embedded librarian program to an additional two ECHO iterations. ECHO hub team members report high rates of satisfaction with the performance of embedded librarians and appreciate the provision of point-of-need evidence to ECHO participants.

    The Students are Busy!: Promoting Emerging Technologies at a Medical Library
    (2019-07-11) Misquith, Chelsea
    This session provides an overview of new techniques used to promote the Nexus Collaborative Learning Lab, housed at the Ruth Lilly Medical Library, Indiana University School of Medicine. In particular, attendees will learn about strategies such as collaborating with student groups and strengthening the Nexus’ web presence. Future plans for outreach/promotion of emerging technologies services and strategies to increase student engagement with the Nexus will also be discussed. Currently, services offered through the Nexus include 3D printing, virtual reality, and a touch-enabled IQ-Wall for collaboration and visualization.

    Using VR to Enhance Anatomy Education for Medical Imaging Learners
    (2020-03-06) Misquith, Chelsea; Patterson, Debra
    The Ruth Lilly Medical Library’s Nexus Collaborative Learning Lab (Nexus) and the Medical Imaging Technology (MIT) Program at IUSM have partnered to create a series of Virtual Reality (VR) modules to enhance student comprehension and retention of anatomy for Cardiac Interventional (CI), Computed Tomography (CT), Vascular Interventional (VI), and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). This presentation will introduce you to VR and its applications in medical education, and describe the VR service available through the Nexus. Learn how a VR app for anatomy education, 3D Organon VR, was used to create greater student-content interactivity and to add flexibility to instruction.
