The BICC Energy Efficiency Upgrades project will save money (and the planet) and will also result in better temperature control in the building.

When the HVAC motors are replaced, the entire BICC building, including the Library, will be closed from 5:00 pm on Friday, May 17 until 7:30 am on Monday, May 20. The Library will close one hour early on Friday, May 17, at which time the building will be evacuated and the After Hours Study space will be closed. The Library will reopen at 7:30 am on Monday morning.

On March 25th, HC&A began the process of boxing up the records of Oregon Child Growth Study and the papers of Dr. Bhim Sen Savara, which had been stored in the basement of the School of Dentistry, between the generators and the bomb shelter.

The materials in the Child Growth Study Collection document part of a study that was conducted from the 50’s through the 80’s. The records are part of a very limited, very unique, yet incredibly in-depth and extensive study on early development. The unique nature of these materials mean that access to the collection is a strong priority, with continuing high use anticipated. The study was so well-documented that there is a monograph discussing the process and results, which HC&A now has copies of.
The Crew

The group tasked with boxing up the collections and preparing them for transfer to HC&A was headed by Karen Peterson, Archivist:

Assisting was Max Johnson, HC&A Student Assistant:

Jeff Colby, HC&A Assistant helped out in the afternoons:

Maija Anderson, Head of Historical Collections & Archives and HC&A Student Assistant Amy Frazier pitched in. HC&A also received amazing help from current dental students, Vinny and Seth:

The Materials

Preparing the records of the Oregon Child Growth Study was the primary goal of the team. The records consist of circa 350 plaster casts of jaws, circa 400 binders of patient data, no less than 60 linear feet of negatives and prints, and a variety of instruments, human remains and articles related to the study. In addition, we appraised, retrieved and boxed all of Dr. Savara’s files which include three 4’ high file cabinets of materials.

All of the materials were covered in a thick layer of dust which became airborne upon physical contact. We used document-sensitive wipes and a vacuum to remove the major levels of dust prior to boxing and packing.

The Process

Starting with the dental casts, Vinny and Seth removed the dust layers from each of the boxes, placed them archival document boxes, then stuffed them with tissue for transfer. Once the casts were complete, we moved on to the binders. Initially we believed the binders would fit in the document boxes, however the binders were too big – we ended up removing them completely and foldering the contents in situ to protect them.

Jeff and Max brought down more materials to help deal with the massive amount of photos and negatives. Max boxed up the negatives and Jeff worked on rebindering parts of the study.

On the second day, we continued to box up the bindered materials, Max learned how to pop a lock using a screw driver to access some negatives, Maija appraised and packed books from departmental libraries, and we boxed up and inventoried the infant study.

The remainder of the first week entailed finishing up the binders and beginning the process of boxing up and inventorying Dr. Savara’s files. Almost the entirety of the collections were prepared by Friday afternoon.

We finished up the last few details on Monday, including inventorying and boxing the last of the file cabinets, cleaning the space (campsite rule), bringing leftover preservation materials back up to the library and finalizing the master inventory.

The process went incredibly smoothly – a huge thanks goes out to our colleagues at the School of Dentistry for their support!

– Max Johnson, HC&A Student Assistant

The Joanna Briggs Institute evidence-based nursing database, JBI COnNECT +, has recently moved to the Ovid platform andhas a new name, The Joanna Briggs Institute EBP Database.

Within the database you can search for evidence based recommended practices, best practice information sheets, systematic reviews, and more.   It also has ten tools that you can use for appraisal and implementation, quality improvement, and research.  Here are some examples of JBI Connect’s tools:

•  JBI Journal Club- a tool for storing and appraising articles for journal clubs.
• JBI PACES- an online program that assists with clinical audits and practice changes.
• JBI Rapid- a checklist for critically appraising papers.
• Manual Builder- a tool for creating evidence-based manuals based on the needs of your organization.
• Pamphlet Builder- a tool for creating evidence-based pamphlets for your patients.

The seventh annual Symposium for Portland Area Research on Complementary and Alternative Medicine (SPARC) will be held on Saturday, May 4th in the OHSU auditorium. SPARC is a research symposium that highlights current research in complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) and promotes scientific collaboration. SPARC 2013 focuses on the evolution of CAM research. Researchers from Portland and beyond will discuss current CAM research and the future of the field.

Keynote speaker Rick Hecht, MD, Research Director of the UCSF Osher Center for Integrative Medicine will present From Mood to Messenger RNA: Mechanisms, Methods, and Misfortunes in Integrative Medicine Research. In the afternoon, choose to attend one of three break-out sessions on botanical medicine, acupuncture or data management. Continuing education credit is available for NDs, LAcs, DCs and nurses.

In the two weeks leading up to SPARC, research posters from CAM investigators travel to all participating institutions in Portland. The traveling poster exhibit gives a visual summary of the local, innovative CAM research projects in Portland. The posters will be at OHSU in the BICC on Monday, April 22nd and Tuesday, April 23rd. Stop by and learn about the exciting new research in this field!

Melissa Haendel, co-head of the OHSU Library’s Ontology Development Group, has collaborated with Elissa J. Chesler from The Jackson Laboratory to edit two volumes of the International Review of Neurobiology.

• Volume 103, Bioinformatics of Behavior: Part 1 | read on ScienceDirect | purchase
• Volume 104, Bioinformatics of Behavior: Part 2 | read on ScienceDirect | purchase

Drs. Chesler and Haendel describe their work in the preface:

The field of bioinformatics has rapidly evolved and has changed the practice of biology in innumerable ways. The impact of modern practices in data management, high-throughput quantitation, semantic data integration, image analysis, text processing, and genomics has changed the scale and breadth of investigation in all areas of biology. These volumes focus on the unique challenges and opportunities of bioinformatics strategies in behavioral science. The first focuses primarily on biological databases and data integration. The second focuses primarily on functional genomics and model organism studies of behavior. Both contain a mixture of theoretical and applied aspects of bioinformatics.
