Pannabecker, Virginia
A collection of scholarly, professional, and creative work. Virginia Pannabecker is a Health Sciences Librarian at ASU Libraries, Downtown Phoenix Campus Library, supporting the success of Arizona State University Health Sciences students, staff, and faculty in their research, learning, and professional endeavors. In this capacity, her research interests center around open content (open access, open education, open educational resources, open licensing, open publishing), and effective research methods for evidence based practice in Exercise & Wellness, Health Sciences, Healthcare, Kinesiology, Nursing, and Nutrition. As a humanist by training, Virginia is also interested in how literature, film, and other creative endeavors influence and expand our understanding of social issues and actively broaden our perspectives on the ways we interact with each other and with our built and natural environments.

As a Health Sciences Librarian at a large public research university, requests for one off library sessions, or online how-to support, to teach evidence-based practice (EBP) research skills are common. Having mastered brief 'hands-on' activities to practice skills learned, I was ready to branch out, and so were some faculty with whom I work, especially in the fields of Nutrition, Exercise, and Wellness. For Spring 2013 I worked with faculty to try pre-class time assignments followed by participatory, hands-on, student reporting (flipped) class sessions on:
1. Finding the source of research reported in health news articles.
2. Identifying high level EBP research studies on a nutrition topic.
3. Exploring career and research tools in Kinesiology.
This session will include a brief overview of each case study with discussion opportunities.
