A Day in the Life - Thursday

  • Started the day with a research consultation.  Topic (more or less) = perceptions of disease in post-operative patients.  We searched PubMed and PsycInfo.  Then she left. 
  • Continued working on yesterday's systematic review search until the network went down.  Went to lunch with colleagues. 
  • Received a call from faculty in the Department of Surgery asking for assistance on a systematic review search.  They'll get back to me to schedule a meeting.
  • Attended a meeting to discuss this Informatics/Library project I'm involved in.  Basically, we're trying to unobtrusively buff up the amount of technology teaching faculty are using in the classroom and in their course sites.
  • Attended another - our last - meeting for the article discovery working group.  The report's due Sunday, but we hope to send it off to the powers that be before the end of the day tomorrow.  Looks promising.
  • I didn't get to spend as much time on the systematic review search as I had hoped.  I didn't get a chance to prep for the class I'm teaching tomorrow.  I didn't get a chance to make any progress on the other 2 systematic review searches I currently have on the go.
