Mary Pat Harnegie, MLIS, AHIP, Library Manager- South Pointe Hospital and Medical Librarian III- Floyd D. Loop Alumni Library, Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, OH. In my first career, I was a career insurance agent and agency manager for a Nationwide Insurance family-owned agency. In 2002, I graduated from Kent State University's School of Library and Information Science. I have been a substitute librarian in the Cleveland Public Library system from 2003-2014. Simultaneously, I started working at Cleveland Clinic Alumni Library in 2000 as a library technician and became a librarian in 2005.

I am experienced in collection management, reference, library instruction, library marketing, research methodoligies, archival curation and mentoring. I I participate on several institutional educational committees and professional committees. My current area of interest is in condeucting systematoc reviews and clinical lilbrarianship. My background has been in library collection development and graduate medical education program development and teaching support. My research interests are in the areas of evidence-based practice in clinical practice and library outreach and assessment.

Attendance at 2012 Pitt workshop in Systematic Reviews, 2015 University of Colorado workshop on Evidence Based Medicine in Clinical Practice, and 2016 University of Illinois-Chicago workshop on Evidence Based Medicine has provided training in research design and methodologies. MLA-RTI training would provide me with an intense “hands-on” approach in the advancement and development of my prior training as well as help me build my assessment skills. Finally, I attended the Critical Appraisal Institute for Librarians in 2020 focused on research methodology and appraisal.

Mu daily work incorporates a lot of work in systematic reviews, evidence based medicine, and research methodologies. I serve as president of Ohio Health Libraries Association and am a member of the American Medical Writers Association.. I contribute to scholarship as a column editor of the Journal of Hospital Librarianship. I am a peer reviewer for the Journal of Family Medicine and Evidence-Based Library Information Practice (EBLIP). I have several publications in various industry journals.
