[Figg, Bethany J]

Good Morning MICHLIB!

Don't forget to register for the 2016 MHSLA (Michigan Health Science Librarians Association) Annual Conference is open!  The conference will be held on October 12-14, 2016 at the Baronette Renaissance Hotel in Novi, Michigan.  The full program brochure will be available soon.

This year's keynote speaker will be Tom Buchmueller - Professor of Business Economics and Public Policy, Chair of Business Economics, University of Michigan.  Dr. Buchmueller is a health economist whose research focuses on the economics of health insurance and related public policy issues.

There are also some great Continuing Education courses to choose from.

On Friday, Jean Song and Marci Brandenburg will be teaching a 2 hour MLA CE Course on Data Visualization.  Visualization can be a powerful tool for discovery, data analysis, and presentation. Due to the great amounts of data being generated in the health sciences, data visualization is becoming more popular, and libraries are finding their niche in the visualization landscape. This course will provide an introduction to visualization, including design principles, different types of visualization, and the role of the library. After taking this course, participants will have a better understanding of data visualization, will be better prepared for engaging in conversations with researchers interested in visualization, and could begin thinking of possible visualization services that they could offer at their institution.

We look forward to seeing you there!
