Field Trip

Today my department head and I went to the library at Southeast Hospital. The hospital has a nursing program and a few of their classes have been coming to our library for instruction. I thought it would be a good idea to see what they had in their collection, which databases they subscribed to (more health ones with full-text from EBSCOHost than we have), what is their instruction program, and what type of services they provide. Armed with a packet of info, we will spread the info to the rest of the department and of course invite her to visit our library.

Practical Note: Now when we get instruction requests from the hospital we know what type of resources and services their own library provides and what we can provide that is both different and beneficial to their students.
