2 Comments on UBC Master of Physical Therapy graduating students’ systematic reviews – Podcasts

podcasting dog

For the first time in UBC Rehab School, the graduating class of Master of Physical Therapy students has compiled systematic reviews of literature on eight (8) different topics in physiotherapy.

On Sep. 14-15, 2006, those systematic reviews were presented in Vancouver, BC for a wide audience of physiotherapists.

We, at the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre at UBC, have recorded those as audio files and now are ready to share them with you. This is a collaboration mini-project with the Physiotherapy Association of British Columbia and The School of Rehabilitation Sciences , UBC and the UBC Library

Here, you will find all eight presentations (both PDF versions of the presentations themselves and audio files in mp3 format of their talks). Here is an alternative location– http://tinyurl.com/pzdqd

As far as I know, those are among the first podcasts in physiotherapy!

No Comments on Google Scholar and the World of Scholarly Searching

Last night, I did a presentation for the Special Libraries Association (SLA) and Canadian Association of Special Libraries and Information Services (CLA division) folks on Google Scholar and the World of Scholarly Searching.

We have had a good discussion on new developments in the world of scholarly searching. The discussion was quite well attended with almost fifty special librarians coming to share their insights. The presentation is available here in PDF format – “Google Scholar and the World of Scholarly Searching”

Special thanks to Dean Giustini – UBC Biomedical Branch Librarian, who runs UBC Academic Search – Google Scholar Blog for his feedback and information sharing 🙂

No Comments on Mastering Google for Physiotherapists Workshop and Mastering PubMed for Physiotherapists Workshop – PDF files

As discussed in yesterday’s post, today, I would like to share with you some content from my Okanagan tour workshops for Physiotherapy Association of British Columbia (PABC) members:

1. Mastering Google for Physiotherapists (PDF, 700KB, 24 pages)
2. Mastering PubMed for Physiotherapists (PDF, 600 KB, 28 pages)

For each workshop, I am posting a PDF file with the content I am going to talk about. Please note that this is only my outline – the presentation barebones 🙂 I will be discussing each issue outlined in the PDF in greater depth…

I am posting these files just to give you a touch-and-feel sense about our workshops 🙂

Please feel free to print and bring any of these with you when we meet for any of our workshops.

See some of you tomorrow night in Kelowna 🙂

1 Comment on Mastering Google for Physiotherapists – Google “Cheat Sheet” for PABC members – Spring 2006

Preparing for my Kelowna’s presentation this Friday – May 5th (I will be posting my presentations in PDFs tomorrow here at our blog…), I would also like to share with the “most innovative” Cheat Sheet I ever wrote about how to use the command language on Google to find high quality health information 🙂

This Cheat Sheet (in PDF format, 75KB) is fully hyperlinked, so you could click on any of the links to run an actual search in Google…

This Cheat Sheet will also be included in all Google workshops handouts – I am planning to start running the “Mastering Google for Physiotherapists” workshop in the Lower Mainland in approximately two week – stay tuned !

I am presenting a demo of my services to PABC members tomorrow at the AGM meeting @ Hilton Hotel in Burnaby, BC.

The presentation is fully hyperlinked, and clicking on a particular link or screenshot will take you to the appropriate page.

Looking forward to chatting with some of you tomorrow at the AGM 🙂
