Abstract

In this year’s sponsored but no holds barred lunch, participants had the opportunity to contemplate examples of proactive approaches answering the question posed by the 2015 conference theme, “Where Do We Go From Here?” This year’s lunch theme was inspired by a saying of Lawrence Peter “Yogi” Berra (May 12, 1925–September 22, 2015): “When You Come to a Fork in the Road, Take It.” Researchers increasingly must meet various data management requirements and mandates, while educators are challenged by changing trends in providing curricular content. What choices do these challenges provide to libraries and librarians? In the best case scenarios, they utilize approaches espoused in Yogi Berra’s advice—they follow paths (opportunities) that present themselves, and become partners.

When You Come to a Fork in the Road, Take It (15th Annual Health Sciences Lively Lunch)

In this year’s sponsored but no holds barred lunch, participants had the opportunity to contemplate examples of proactive approaches answering the question posed by the 2015 conference theme, “Where Do We Go From Here?” This year’s lunch theme was inspired by a saying of Lawrence Peter “Yogi” Berra (May 12, 1925–September 22, 2015): “When You Come to a Fork in the Road, Take It.” Researchers increasingly must meet various data management requirements and mandates, while educators are challenged by changing trends in providing curricular content. What choices do these challenges provide to libraries and librarians? In the best case scenarios, they utilize approaches espoused in Yogi Berra’s advice—they follow paths (opportunities) that present themselves, and become partners.
