The Journal of the Medical Library Association (JMLA) Virtual Projects Committee is seeking innovative and notable technology projects for the October 2016 JMLA Virtual Projects column. The annual column focuses on library virtual spaces that extend the library “presence” outward to support users in their digital spaces, wherever and whenever needed.
To be considered for this column, please submit a 200-word abstract of your virtual project or a link to your project web page that describes the project and why it is innovative or notable. Technology projects must have been implemented within the past two years. Send your submissions to Susan Lessick slessick[atsign]uci[dot]edu AHIP, FMLA, by March 17.
Submissions of virtual projects may demonstrate the implementation of a new technology or a new application of an older technology. Focus areas or technologies of special interest include, but are not limited to:
- electronic medical record (EMR)/electronic health record (EHR) integration and “meaningful use” programs
- data management
- data visualization
- assessment metrics
- gamification
- flipped classroom
- adaptive learning technologies
- virtual reality (VR)
- beacons
- social media technologies
Please consider sharing your knowledge and experiences with implementing virtual projects in your library to inspire and encourage your peers, partners, and communities.
