Description : Becky Brusky's STAT 1100 class mapped social determinants of health in Pottawattamie county utilizing data from the 2018 CHNA and data collected by TWP from Pottawattamie county employees. The class mapped the zip codes where Pott County employees live and created tableaus with the mapped data for the county in order for them to assess the challenges their employees face outside of work. Students provided data analysis that The Wellbeing Partners would not have had access otherwise. Students were able to practice their data analysis skills and compiled relevant data that Pott county will use to assess their employees social determinants of health. This will allow the county to provide services and resources that are needed by their employees.

Description : The University of Nebraska Council of Libraries (UNCL) was originally formed in the early 1980s by the three University of Nebraska (UN) system libraries. Over the decades, the coalition experienced periods of variable activity and dormancy depending on the state's economy, organizational priorities, and the personalities and mindsets of library directors. Beginning in 2015, the collaborative effort reengaged, broadened its membership, changed its name, and implemented a formal MOU. More importantly, UNCL members utilized this unity to share resources and secure materials benefiting all members of the consortium. In this program, deans and a director from the new University of Nebraska Consortium of Libraries will share the development of UNCL, the issues and obstacles of a system-wide collaboration, the significant benefits of the organization, the verbal and monetary encouragement bestowed upon UNCL by the UN System President, and the consortium's future plans and possibilities. Presented by David Richards, University of Nebraska at Omaha; Nancy J. Busch, Dean of Libraries, University of Nebraska--Lincoln; Janet Stoeger Wilke, Dean of the Library, University of Nebraska at Kearney; Emily McElroy, Director of McGoogan Library of Medicine.

Description : Our library has seen an increasing demand for LGBTQIA health materials but our newest print book was from 2001! In the ever-changing health science fields, we needed to connect patrons with quality, up-to-date sources. Come hear how we took a machete to our print collection, clearing the way to reinvent our R-RZ call range as well as improving our relationship with the LGBTQIA campus community. We will share our policies, procedures, assessment, and next steps. Attendees will be encouraged to share their experiences (triumphs or horror stories!) regarding LGBTQIA collections so we can all make strides to provide better access.
