 Associate Professor Ellen Detlefsen
stands at the gates of the Aichi Shukotoku University
in Nagoya, Japan, where the announcement of her recent
lecture was posted. On October 10, 2006, Detlefsen
spoke on consumer health libraries and on the provision
of consumer health information services in the United
States, addressing an audience of 80 undergraduate
and graduate students, as well as faculty, in the Department
of Library and Information Science at the University.
The
LIS program in Nagoya is one of three in Japan; the
other two are at Keio University and at the University
of Tsukuba. Her visit was hosted by Professor
Atsutake Nozoe, a regular visitor to SIS since the
1990s; he has arranged talks for Dr. Detlefsen on her
five previous trips to Japan. While on this trip,
she also spoke in Tokyo, at a meeting of the Kanto
Chapter of the Japan Medical Library Association, presenting
a lecture on the informationist.
SIS alumna Makiko
Miwa (now a professor at the National Institute of
Multimedia Education in Japan) was in attendance at
the Tokyo lecture, as were several other visitors to
SIS, most notably Midori Ichiko and Yukiko Sakai, of
the Keio University Medical Library. Ichiko and
Sakai have both visited at the Falk Library of Health
Sciences Library System. |
