On Wednesday, June 21 & Thursday, June 22, Robin O’Hanlon, our Assistant Library Director of Outreach & Public Services, provided two education sessions to 27 students participating in an internship at the Mount Sinai Adolescent Health Center. The interns came from undergraduate institutions across NYC to work as field coordinators training public high school students as part of a community mapping initiative. Course topics included effective PubMed & Google Scholar searching, reference management, finding statistics & datasets, creating research posters, and more. The community mapping project is a part of the Building Healthy Communities initiative, a joint effort of the Mayor’s Office and the Fund for Public Health of New York.
