The database provides access to tools for implementing evidence based practice, such as JBI TAP (for small–scale qualitative studies execution), JBI PACES (for clinical audits and change practice), etc. More information here.
The database also contains the 6 document types listed below. The database is updated multiple times monthly with any new research that is developed by JBI.

·
Best Practice Information Sheet (BPIS)
are short summaries based on the results and recommendations of
systematic reviews. BPIS are easily disseminated and provide busy health
professionals access to key issues and recommendations that have been
collected from a large volume of material.
·
Best Practice Technical Reports are provided
as a complementary publication to document all aspects of the development of Best Practice Information Sheets.
·
Consumer Information Sheets (CIS)
are standardized summaries on a wide range of health care interventions
and activities targeted at consumers of health care i.e.
patients/residents/clients, relatives, and carers. Each Consumer
Information Sheet is based on the best available international
evidence and each year, every existing entry is updated and new entries
are added in response to requests from members and subscribers.
·
Evidence-Based Recommended Practice (EBRP)
are interventions or procedures that describe and/or recommended
certain practices on selected clinical topics. Recommended Practices are
based on the best available evidence and each practice consists of an
equipment list, a recommended practice, occupational
health and safety provisions, and an adjoining evidence summary where
evidence is available.
·
Evidence Summaries (ES)
are short abstracts that summarize existing international evidence on
common health care interventions and activities. Evidence summaries are
based on structured searches of the literature and selected
evidence-based health care databases.
·
Systematic Reviews (and protocols) (SR)
are an analysis of all of the available literature (that is, evidence)
and involves developing a question; establishing inclusion criteria;
developing a strategy to comprehensively search for the evidence;
appraising the quality of each paper; excluding papers
of poor quality; extracting the findings of included papers; and
synthesizing the findings of included papers. PDF format only.

UNCG Instructors- Apply for an Information Literacy Course Development Grant
The UNCG University Libraries will offer three $1,000 awards for courses
to be taught in spring 2017 to support restructuring a course in order
to more intentionally integrate information literacy and research. This
award is open to anyone who teaches a course at the undergraduate or
graduate level and has the authority to make substantive changes to that
course.
The purpose of the Information Literacy Course Development Awards is to support instructors in revitalizing courses to foster information literacy skills. These re-envisioned courses will incorporate information literacy throughout the semester, teaching students to locate, evaluate, synthesize, and cite sources in the manner most appropriate for the subject area.
The Libraries will hold a workshop on October 13 at 2:00 in the Faculty Center to discuss the awards and give professors the opportunity to workshop their ideas with librarians.
Details and application process are available here.
Please contact Amy Harris Houk at a_harri2@uncg.edu with questions.

Thursday 9/15 from 8 am - 9 am EST testing in PubMed, MeSH, PubMed Central, etc.
NCBI has announced some testing tomorrow morning from 8 to 9 am:
"NCBI will be testing https on public web servers from 8:00 to 9:00 AM EDT (13:00-14:00 UTC) on Thursday, September 15. You may experience problems with NCBI web sites during that time."
The sites that I expect would have the biggest impact: PubMed, PubMed Central, and the MeSH database.
More information is here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/home/bulletins/https-tests.shtml

I just got this email about parking near the Kaplan Center -
"Lot 49, located next to the Kaplan Center on Neal St., is an "A" permit lot from 8am to 5pm, Monday through Friday. Outside of those hours, Lot 49 is an open lot and no permit is required to park there.
POCAM has now changed Lot 50 at the corner of Aycock Street and Gate City Blvd to be open to more UNCG parking permits. It is now open to A B C KA KB KC MA MB MC WA WB WC & SGB.
We do ask that you do not park on Haywood Street, McCormick Street or Neal Street. These neighborhood streets are for Glenwood residents only, not UNCG student or employees visiting the Kaplan Center. Please help UNCG be a good neighbor to our Glenwood friends. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

Are you interested in seeing visual overviews of how your keyword searches match up to MeSH heading, and to articles in MEDLINE?
Try one of these MEDLINE Visualization Tools!
MeSH Category Graph (https://esperr.github.io/
- start with a keyword search and compare the broad categories your results are indexed under (e.g. "anatomy", "diseases", etc.), to those of MEDLINE as a whole
MeSH Subheading Graph (https://esperr.github.io/mesh-subhead-graph/)
- will plot a set of MEDLINE results against the 23 "explodable" subheadings
PubVenn (https://pubvenn.appspot.com/)
- " Enter any multi-term search to see the relative size of the citation set for each term as well as how those sets interact."
