Medical
Center Librarian Mary Congleton worked with high school students from across
Kentucky during UK's Health Researcher’s Youth Academy. Hosted by the UK Area
Health Education Center, the two-week residential summer camp introduces the
students to the college experience, and provides an opportunity to learn about
careers in health care research. The students attend orientations and lectures,
tour facilities, and interact with researches in health-related
disciplines.
In addition,
the students conduct research and develop a poster presentation. Mary provided
the group of 27 students a session on conducting research using UK Libraries information
resources. And, she demonstrated various databases, including PubMed and
MedlinePlus.
