LI866: NIH Public Access Policy Issues
The National Institutes of Health has taken the lead for implementing government mandates for access to scientific information and in LI866 I researched the progress of the current policy and how it has affected medical libraries, publishers, and researchers. It is important that libraries have an understanding of the processes involved with publishing government funded research and what access issues affect their clients.
LI820: Medical Tourism: A Case Study
In LI820, we studied international information policy and I was able to research the topic of medical tourism and complete a case study focused on international regulating entities that have attempted to create safeguards for patients seeking medical treatment in other countries. This experience helped me to realize the importance of information service agencies that serve the publics needs in the medical industry.
