“Talk to our students about how to stay current.”
Librarians’ involvement •Taught “How to stay current in One Health”
– Included rss feeds - newspapers, blogs, websites– Discussed information bias– Used Google Reader (RIP – July 1, 2013)
•Led bibliographic search sessions•Created LibGuide for One Health

http://guides.library.duke.edu/one_health
Challenges with collaboration• Three different schools and their libraries:
– Veterinary Medicine– Academic Affairs– Health Sciences
• Topics cut across areas from non-health libraries• Journal & database subscription access differs for
students on cross-institutional project teams– What can they legally share? – How do we let them know that? – How do we support students who meet off campus?
• One course LibGuide representing 3 universities • Continuity in the face of change – librarian retirement
Benefits to librarian collaboration• Work sharing among librarians for tasks and
subject specialties• Opportunity to consider access questions with
interdisciplinary collaborators• Testing the Triangle Research Library Network
2-day book and digital article delivery• Invitation to contribute to compendium on
One Health Case Studies
“Information Sources in One Health”• Librarians invited February 2012 to contribute essay on
the importance of library resources for One Health• Content supplied March 13, 2012:
– narrative demonstrating One Health interdisciplinarity– importance of current, reliable sources to practitioners – how to use sources to make evidence based decisions– how librarians can contribute to the One Health efforts– how to access sources: list of free and subscription
databases with One Health info • Will be open access, likely as a PDF on the NC OHC
