Planning Chat for Winter 2016
Thursday, January 14, 2016
9:00 pm Eastern/6:00 pm Pacific
Led by Nikki Dettmar (@eagledawg)
Happy New Year, #medlibs! Unfortunately our scheduled lead for Thursday, January 7th has a conflict and can't make it. I was initially thinking we could have a planning chat tonight instead.
Then I revisited reality. I don't know about all of you, but I'm still trying to get back into the rhythm of work/life/school etc after the holidays. Am I the only one too pooped when I get home each night to give much coherent thought to things other than flannel PJs, quality reading material, and the couch?
Let's regroup next week - what's on your mind for 2016? Bring your ideas, enthusiasm and calendars - the dynamic networking of #medlibs can't happen by itself without you and some planning. Also please don't feel that you need to be the expert resource to lead a chat - as long as you have a strong interest, well developed questions, and some resources to share our group hivemind usually takes care of the rest!

Leadership Development
Thursday, December 17, 2015
9pm Eastern/6pm Pacific
Facilitated by Teresa L. Knott (@tlknott)
When I was voluntold that I would be leading this chat, the suggestion was that we focus on formal leadership development programs. Some of the most visible programs are:
Questions that we might discuss include:
· Are there key principles for successfully applying?
· What are the benefits to participating?
· If you attended more than one, which was better and why?
· Many of these programs are focused on mid- to upper-level leadership. What topics do you believe earlier career librarians need to know more about?

There’s a lot to consider
and discuss in just a few pages!
Researchers are starting
to care about data and data collection, especially since funding could be reliant
on a data management plan. Should libraries care about data management? What
can libraries do to get started? Have you started to support data management
within your institution? Are there any challenges you’ve come across and advice
you can share with others?

Data Visualization #medlibs chat
Thursday, November 5. 2015
9:00pm Eastern/6:00pm Pacific
Led by Lisa Federer (@lisafederer)
Many libraries have begun to provide support for data visualization, which can be a powerful way to convey the stories that data can tell and elucidate patterns that might not otherwise be evident. As information professionals, librarians have many skills that make them excellent partners for students, faculty, researchers, and others interested in learning how to create visualizations that demonstrate their data in coherent and visually appealing ways. In fact, a recent Medical Library Association (MLA) webinar focused on data visualization for librarians (check out the tweets from this session at #mladataviz).
Join the #medlibs chat on Twitter on Thursday, November 5 at 9 pm Eastern/6 pm Pacific to share your ideas, thoughts, and questions on data visualization. We’ll talk about tools for creating various types of visualizations, share examples of cool visualizations, and discuss how libraries can get involved in data visualization. Never been to a Twitter chat before? Check out this overview and come on in - all are welcome including first timers, lurkers, students and others interested in the topic and the field.
