The seminar I attended yesterday as part of our Kentucky Medical Library Association meeting, 'The Librarian and the Evidence: Our Role in EBHC', was excellent. The instructor was Lisa Traditi of the University of Colorado Denver Health Sciences Library. I knew very little about Evidence-Based Practice (aka Evidence-Based Medicine aka Evidence-Based Health Care) and it was a good overview of what EBP is and how librarians can be invaluable to clinicians. If you have a chance to see her speak, do so. She is very engaging and made the material rather fun.
One of the things she did to break the ice was give out catalogue cards (see, a use for obsolete cards!) and have us write three things about us on the back, two of which we thought would be true of everyone in the room, and then one that we thought would be unique to us as individuals. Then she had everyone stand as she read off some of the cards and then sit down when something wasn't true about us. One thing we discovered is that not just one but two people in the room were down in the mud pit at Woodstock. :)
