This month, I asked three questions to Lindsay Boyce, Research Informationist.
What areas can you help MSK users with?
As a Research Informationist, I am able to assist users with a variety of information needs. I conduct literature searches for both patient care and research questions, I provide assistance with EndNote and other citation management tools, and I work with systematic review teams create comprehensive search strategies. I am also the Clinical Medical Librarian for Critical Care, where I provide a variety of services to the staff in the ICU.
What projects have you been working on recently?
I recently co-authored a book chapter with our director and another Research Informationist on the Role of Informationists in Evidence Based Practice, where we detailed how we provide support and assistance for the nursing community as they conduct evidence based practice research. Nurses can use our PICO(T) form to request literature searches to aide in their EBP projects.
What is your favorite meal?
I’m a bit of a foodie, so picking a single favorite meal is tough. But I think the best meal I ever had was Lobster Newburg at Delmonico’s Steakhouse, because not only did Delmonico’s invent the dish in 1876, eating it at the oldest “restaurant” in the US makes it both a historical and culinary experience!
Please join the MSK Library in congratulating our Nursing community! Originally known as National Nurses Day (May 6th) and later as National Nurses Week, the American Nurses Association proudly honors our nurses across the nation while highlighting their extraordinary work and contributions to healthcare. This year’s theme is Nurses: Inspire, Innovate, Influence.
The MSK Library supports a number of campus-wide nursing programs such as the Nurse Residency Program and the Nursing Career Ladder (N-Care), as well as many other initiatives. Additionally, the Library provides access to databases supporting evidence-based practice like PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, Cochrane and Joanna Briggs.
For customized sessions on Library and Evidenced Based Practice resources, please contact your designated Research Informationist, Marisol Hernandez.
