Community Conversations About COVID-19.

"Community Conversations About COVID-19" was a multi-group program designed to address the need for culturally sensitive health information about COVID-19 for Latinx and Native American communities. Three medical librarians worked closely with Latinx and/or Spanish-speaking , also known as community health workers (CHWs), and native patient navigators (NPNs) from Native American communities in Tucson, Arizona. In addition, the librarians collaborated with second-year medical students from the University of Arizona College of Medicine - Phoenix.

Health Sciences Patron Preference for Library Spaces: A Multisite Observational Study.

Health sciences libraries are often challenged to make decisions regarding physical space allocation without quantitative data to support specific user preferences. This multisite, longitudinal study sought to answer the following questions related to academic health sciences libraries: (1) Which library spaces are popular with health sciences patrons? (2) How does time of day and allocated seating space affect patron choices? (3) What similarities and differences occur in space usage across four different health sciences libraries? Results suggest health sciences libraries must develop a nuanced understanding of their patrons' preferences to best serve patrons' needs regarding space allocation. Libraries can benefit from these types of methodological studies that target specific populations, supporting more informed space allocation decision making.
