NSU Health Professions Division Librarian Awarded with National Fellowship
Dana Thimons, MLIS, AHIP, reference/academic support services librarian in NSU’s Health Professions Division Library
Dana Thimons, MLIS, AHIP, reference/academic support services librarian in NSU’s Health Professions Division Library, was selected as the Grace and Harold Sewell Memorial Fund Learning Partnership Fellow for the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP). Only two of these learning partnerships are funded biannually by the organization. Thimmons’ one-year fellowship will begin in January 2015.
The purpose of learning partnerships is to place experienced librarians and information professionals in leading health care or research organizations in order for both partners to gain a better understanding of how information sciences can be effectively applied in each environment.
Thimons will have the opportunity to work as a librarian in a nontraditional environment focusing on building partnerships with AACP staff, leaders, member institutions, and affiliate partners. In this role, she will assist in the conceptualization and formation of the activation plan of AACP’s approach to knowledge management. She will also work to heighten awareness and skills for AACP staff and members to create new knowledge about pharmacy education and pharmacists’ contributions to health care.
