April 27, 2015
Dear SALIS Friends and Colleagues,
Welcome to San Diego, California, U.S.A., which, during 2015, celebrates two significant
accomplishments: the centennial of the Panama-California Exposition, a world’s fair
marking the opening of the Panama Canal, the first direct pathway between the Atlantic
and Pacific Oceans; and the convening of the SALIS 37th Annual International Conference.
San Diego is the first U.S. Pacific Ocean port-of-call from the Panama Canal. A year-long
celebration takes place in historic Balboa Park, site of the 1915 Exposition.
We have assembled this year’s SALIS conference agenda to inform and inspire those
concerned with the preservation and dissemination of alcohol, tobacco, and other drug
information resources. All of us trust your conference experience will be productive. Bill
Bejarano and Judit Ward managed the call for proposals, Meg Brunner contributed this
program book, Laura Durham created our badges and designed our program book cover,
Courtney Drysdale provided AV expertise and equipment, Chad Dubeau invited exhibitors,
and Karen Palmer managed the scholarship process. Everyone helped with publicity,
agenda ideas, draft material reviews, and welcoming.
The Silver Gate Group, your local host, is a California small-business corporation engaged
in consulting on health and safety issues with governments and foundations.

Open during renovation: Open science and libraries
Judit Ward, Rutgers University
The popular term "Open Science" refers to a fast-growing movement with the noble
intention to promote unrestricted access to scientific research, data, and dissemination
during the various phases of the research process, from data collection through the
analysis and publication of results. The presentation reviews the interpretations and
components of Open Science, such as Open Data, Open Source, Open Access, Open Peer
Review, etc., and points out their relevance to libraries. It focuses on issues related to
addiction professionals and researchers, including new technologies assisting with
collaboration and communication, alternative metrics to assess scholarly impact, and
sharing research and knowledge via social media. There is a new role evolving for librarians
who are willing to experiment with the venues of Open Science and assist researchers and
practitioners; however, the new developments in making science more transparent will
affect everyone in the long run.
9:15 - 9:45 a.m.
Internet Archive: Building libraries together
Brewster Kahle, Internet Archive
Libraries: where are we coming from and where are we going to? Historians lament the loss
of the Library of Alexandria, when 25% percent of the worlds' knowledge went up in
smoke. Public libraries are seeing a huge uptick in visitors and physical books are being
removed to make space for more seats. Academic libraries are spending large percentages
of their budget on subscriptions and are redoing their models. The common cry is "if it isn't
online, it is digitally extinct." How can groups like SALIS fit in, survive, and flourish?
9:45 - 10:15 a.m.
HathiTrust’s digital library
Martha Hruska, University of California, San Diego
This program will provide an update on the scope of content and the range of services
enabled in this collaboratively built digital preservation repository. How can a subset of
Google and Internet Archive content be managed as a collective “trust” by a broad, and
growing, number of American research libraries? The discussion will include a brief
description of current access and data mining services, and the collaborative programs
underway. Both the opportunities and the technical challenges Hathi presents are explored
4
in the context of its extended governance from the perspective of one of its UC
members.

The SALIS Collection unveiled: Building an ATOD digital archive
Andrea Mitchell, Substance Abuse Librarians and Information Specialists
Sheila Lacroix, Centre for Addiction and Mental Health
Barbara Weiner, Hazelden
Nancy Sutherland, University of Washington
Christine Goodair, St. George’s University of London
The SALIS-Internet Archive Digitization Project ("DIGS") is about the SALIS community
building a digital full-text archive of books and documents. Its inception began with a
presentation at the Elisad meeting in 2008, and followed with the SALIS editorial
published in Addiction in 2012; both concerned the dissolution of the ATOD information
infrastructure. The SALIS Advocacy Committee, which has been working with the
Internet Archive on the many details involved, will unveil "The SALIS Collection" for the
first time at this year's conference. The presentation will provide a brief history of the
project, the main components of DIGS, the roles played by various team members,
funding issues, and how SALIS members may join in to be a part of this community. You
will learn how to use the SALIS DIGS Database, Archive.org, and The Open Library to
determine which books/docs you may donate as well as how to present this project to
your home organization, weed your collection to contribute materials, and get more
actively involved. By working together, SALIS members have the potential to create a
significant SALIS legacy, linking worlds of knowledge through an international pathway.
12:00 - 12:30 p.m.
Image conscious: Simplifying complex data with visualization
William Bejarano, Rutgers University
In an increasingly data-driven world, the amount of information available on any given
topic can begin to feel overwhelming, especially to those of us who work in the
information profession. This presentation will give an overview on how displaying
information in a visual way can turn large, complex data sets into something more
digestible and understandable to the general public. The presenter will provide the
foundational principles of human visual perception that should be applied to any
attempt to visualize data, and will offer a brief tutorial on the process and output of
select tools. To show its practical relevance, the presenter will provide an example of
how the concept of "academic reputation" has been uniquely visualized in several
platforms.
12:30 - 2:00 p.m.
Lunch (on your own — see suggestions in folder)
2:00 - 2:45 p.m.
Make your team awesome: Strategies for developing a high-functioning team
Courtney Drysdale, RMC Health
Want to learn how to make your team awesome? When building a high-functioning
team, the first step is building trust and overcoming the five dysfunctions of a team. In
this interactive workshop session, participants will learn how to develop operating
agreements within an existing or newly established team. We will discuss the importance
of vulnerability, accountability, commitment, and how trust lays the foundation for a
high-functioning (and awesome!) team. This session fits the theme "Linking Worlds of
Knowledge" by bringing in the professional development expertise of RMC Health, the
non-profit which houses The Resource Center, and connecting it with the teams that
SALIS members belong to and lead. By making our teams more effective, we can all
5
better provide information for our respective audiences and thus promote better health
and wellness for our communities.
2:45 - 3:15 p.m.
Short attention span theater: Instructional design for optimal learning
Meg Brunner, University of Washington
Did you know that the average human is only able to hold about 7 chunks of
information at a time in their active ("working") memory, and that if we're trying to do
something with that information (organize it, compare it, evaluate it) rather than simply
storing it away, we’re only able to manage 2 or 3 tidbits at once instead? New
information held in working memory, if not rehearsed, is typically lost within about 1530 seconds (wait, where did I put my pen?). On the other hand, the capacity of longterm memory is essentially limitless. Understanding the capacity for humans to take in
information, process, and store it is key to developing effective trainings and
presentations, especially those involving multi-media components or interactivity. This
talk will share what I learned about effective "instructional design" principles as I worked
with colleagues over the previous year to develop two different interactive online
trainings, one about improving retention and engagement rates for clients in substance
use disorder treatment and the other about medicinal cannabis and chronic pain (for
clinicians), using the extremely fun multimedia training development software program
Articulate Storyline.

The Retention Toolkit: A resource to improve retention & engagement for
substance use disorders
Jennifer Velotta, University of Washington
Research indicates that remaining in substance use disorder (SUD) treatment for at least
90 days has a direct correlation with positive outcomes, including a reduction in
substance use and criminal justice involvement. Longer involvement in treatment also
increases the likelihood of employment, increased earnings, and housing stability.
Washington State Governor Jay Inslee, as part of his Results Washington initiative,
joined forces with the state Department of Social and Health Service's Division of
Behavioral Health & Recovery (DBHR) to work with providers to increase 90-day
outpatient SUD treatment retention by June 2015. DBHR in turn partnered with us at
ADAI to develop an interactive online toolkit of strategies providers and their
organizations can implement to improve engagement and retention in outpatient
settings. The toolkit, largely based on content from the NIATx web site, is intended to be
easy to use and features sections on barriers, motivational incentives, motivational
interviewing, cultural competency, and family involvement. It also includes an interactive
training module titled "Talking with Clients,” aimed at helping organization staff at all
levels of involvement with clients, from staff at the front desk to staff on the front line,
better communicate with clients to increase motivation and overcome barriers. This
winter, ADAI and DBHR began working on a research project with Brandeis University to
test the efficacy of the toolkit in improving outcomes for programs in our state.
Finding substance abuse resources for your community: An interactive online
training and toolkit for Washington State
Meg Brunner, University of Washington
Substance abuse is a health and social problem of concern to individuals and
6
communities throughout our state. Treatment providers, parent and community
organizations, addiction counseling students, and other stakeholders are seeking valid
and reliable information about how to provide support to those who are impacted by
substance use disorders. The information needs of these groups range from basic
education and prevention resources all the way to the need to monitor statistics and
trends, provide referrals, prevent overdoses, and learn about evidence-based
interventions. To address these needs, the University of Washington Alcohol & Drug
Abuse Institute Library and Clearinghouse applied for and received a National Network
of Libraries of Medicine (NN/LM) Health Information Services Award to develop an
online toolkit of resources intended to improve our outreach to and education of these
populations. The toolkit will include an interactive online training module developed
using Articulate Storyline software, a print and online brochure for distribution by the
ADAI Clearinghouse, and a new page on the Institute's web site intended to serve as a
single point of access to the resources we develop and identify to meet this need.
Creating a health library toolkit for measuring and communicating value
Sheila Lacroix, Centre for Addiction and Mental Health
The CAMH Library is a member of the Health Science Information Consortium of
Toronto (HSICT) which struck a Task Force to develop and identify performance
indicators that demonstrate the impact our members have on health care and research
within our organizations. The author was co-chair. Early in the process, the Task Force,
which included several librarians representing our diverse membership, decided to
create an online toolkit, the Library Value Toolkit. The process of how this was
accomplished is outlined, step by step. Designed to be easy to use and practical, it
features recommendations, tools, examples and key resources selected to measure and
communicate value. An evaluation framework was used to identify all of the
components, such as Quantitative Evaluation Tools, Balanced Scorecard, and Reporting
with Infographics. The Toolkit can be accessed at: http://guides.hsict.library.utoronto.ca/
LibraryValueToolkit.
Scholarly selfies in addiction: Your online professional profile
Judit Ward, William Bejarano, Rutgers University, & Aniko Dudas, Catholic University
(Hungary)
"Scholarly selfie" is a term coined by Judit Ward for in-house use in 2014 based on the
2013 word of the year, but was popularized in conferences by the authors and accepted
in the academic librarian community. This poster aims to demystify the glut of available
professional and scholarly social media profiles, such as LinkedIn, ResearchGate,
Academia.edu, Google Scholar Citations, Microsoft Academic Search, MyNCBI, ORCID,
and others by providing a guided tour through the maze of available platforms. Tied to
the authors’ presentations at the conference, the poster offers an organized overview of
the many options for addiction professionals to promote their online presence. The
poster will point out the great potential of these platforms in terms of increasing
discoverability and opportunities for collaboration across geographical and disciplinary
borders. Although many of these profiles are limited to users with academic affiliations,
the authors will make suggestions about how to overcome these limitations and guide
the user to the appropriate platforms for their specific purposes. Conference participants
can take away information on the new developments in scholarly social media, which will
be useful for librarians, information professionals, and addiction specialists.
Bunky’s scholarly selfie: Critical edition of E. M. Jellinek’s bibliography
Judit Ward, William Bejarano, Rutgers University, & Daniel Geary, Holy Family University.
This poster wishes to commemorate the 125th anniversary of the birth of E. M. Jellinek
7
by highlighting the collaboration of SALIS members to create his critical bibliography.
While creating bibliographies of historically significant addiction researchers for the
digital archive, the Rutgers Center of Alcohol Studies Library staff reviewed existing ones
and found them incomplete and inaccurate. E.M. Jellinek's single publicly available
bibliography started with an article dated 1940, written when he was already 50 years
old. An observant, reflective, and proliferative writer, Jellinek had started to publish
much earlier, however, his work from the preceding years could not previously be
addressed due to a scarcity of information and language barriers. Seizing a unique
opportunity, the authors took upon the courageous task to create Jellinek's complete
bibliography to shed some light on his non-alcohol-related scholarship. The poster
walks us through the stages of discovering potential new entries, locating new items,
and sorting out versions, editions, and reprints: a painstaking but also exciting process.
The result contributes to a better understanding of one of the founders of alcohol
science. Following up on the Jellinek panel at the SALIS conference in 2014, this poster
calls attention to the responsibilities of librarians when they try to make collections
accessible with new technology and the unexpected tasks and surprising findings they
may have to face.
Books that get to you: Bibliotherapy in addictions
Judit Ward, William Bejarano, Rutgers University; Maria Palotai, National Health Policy
Library (Hungary), & Beatrix Kovacs, National Health Science Library of Hungary
Guided reading, often referred to as bibliotherapy, has been shown to be an effective
complementary method to recovery. In an attempt to define bibliotherapy for addictions
as a theoretical model, we discovered significant differences in the interpretations and
applications across the disciplines and countries. Bibliotherapy environments range from
mental health facilities to public libraries. Potential titles include manuals, guidebooks,
and workbooks written by addiction professionals; self-help books; and literary classics,
memoirs, and pop culture titles. The audiences include addicts, those in recovery, family
members, and/or other affected parties who wish to remain anonymous while seeking
authoritative sources on the topic. Addiction librarians have the potential to bridge the
gap in access and discoverability between the readers in need and the appropriate
books that can enhance active coping. A collaborative effort, this poster compares
current practical uses in North America and Europe.

The terminology we use has a powerful effect on what we think and feel about a
problem, while also defining the boundaries of potential solutions we will consider.
Competing perspectives, purposes, and imagined "audiences" running throughout the
"give and take" make it difficult, if not impossible, to come to consensus regarding the
terminology of substance abuse problems and solutions. As an example, one might be
concerned about the precision of any term (e.g., "risky drinking") in light of attempts to
measure drinking with standardized instruments. On the other hand, one might be less
interested in "scientific" use of language and more concerned about the "message" that
use of a term might have for drinkers. Likewise, if the focus is on policymakers or
administrators, a different set of concerns might arise. And language, written or spoken,
can stigmatize users, which is an issue that needs consideration. This session will
consider the evolving nature of language and how it both helps and hinders societal
perceptions of substance abuse issues, as well as the implications of changing language
for international communications among researchers, practitioners, and general
populations.

Systematic searching: Something for everyone
Sheila Lacroix, Center for Addiction and Mental Health (moderator)
Introducing and laying the groundwork
Karen Heskett, University of California, San Diego
The systematic review process sets standards for reviewing the literature and
encourages transparency regarding how the literature is searched, filtered, and which
articles are included. It all begins with a well conducted and thorough search and
librarians are the logical local experts on how to do this. However, many librarians are
not comfortable with conducting a systematic review and feel insecure about searching
systematically. This first session provides an overview that will lay the groundwork to
begin exploring the many aspects of systematic searching, whether you do a systematic
review or not. The session covers many of the issues surrounding systematic reviews
including the types of reviews, starting the search with a well-formed question,
resources to consider searching, as well as resources for further exploration. Attendees
will gain an understanding of the types of reviews found in the tobacco, alcohol, and
substance abuse literature and learn about tools and resources to further explore
systematic searching.
Good practice for searching topics on alcohol, tobacco and other drugs
Sheila Lacroix, Centre for Addiction and Mental Health
Research in the alcohol, tobacco, and other drug (ATOD) field is multidisciplinary,
complex, and vast. We all know that terms like alcohol, smoking, or various drug terms
will retrieve thousands of search results, from rat research to population health studies,
even just within the past 5 years. This brief presentation will guide you with strategies
such as where to search (which databases) and how to search (terminology and subject
headings). It is based on the CAMH Library Research Guide, Literature Searching, Good
Practice: An introductory guide for effectively and comprehensively searching for
research-based literature on addiction, mental health and related issues. It is hoped that
this guide will be helpful to you while searching as well as a tool when providing
instruction to your patrons. The following will be highlighted:
 Framing your question
 Core databases to search
 Additional databases and information sources (depending on the topic and
availability)
9
 Adapting the strategy to the database
Key subject headings to use in ATOD searching in Medline/Pubmed and PsycINFO will
be highlighted, demonstrating differences in terminology and unique features that these
databases offer. Participants will gain further understanding of the importance of
searching many sources in a systematic way, using the search terminology appropriate
to the discipline and database, and taking advantage of unique database features that
will improve results.
Reporting the evidence
Chad Dubeau & Karen Palmer, Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse
This presentation will present findings from a review of how search strategies and results
are documented and reported in the published literature. Using a sample (minimum of 5
each) of systematic reviews, single studies, Cochrane reviews, and grey literature reports
from the tobacco, alcohol, and substance use literature, the presenters will review: 1)
How the search strategy and results are reported in narrative form (such as in the
methodology section of a report); 2) How the detailed search strategy is reported (such
as in an appendix to the report); and 3) The level of consistency, rigor, and detail among
the sample studies. The presenters will also review reports from the home organization
and provide a checklist for improved standardization. Participants will gain an increased
understanding of the different methods and ways of documenting and reporting search
strategies, learn about the importance of standardization for reporting search strategies,
and discover tools and resources for learning more about documenting the search
strategy and methodology.

Facilitating the sharing of pools and seas of knowledge through channeling
information more effectively
Christine Goodair, St. George’s University of London
This presentation will explore issues relating to sharing knowledge and expertise across
multidisciplinary teams. Drawing upon experiences from working on collaborative
projects, examples of information sharing processes and the challenges faced will be
explored. An overview of each project will be given, with a case study of their approach
to sharing knowledge, with the aim of drawing out key lessons that can be applied in a
variety of settings. The projects will include ELISAD Gateway, EU-Madness, and
Substance Misuse in the Undergraduate Medical Curriculum.

Shared risk and protective factors for adolescent mental health and substance
abuse problems: Adolescent suicide in Indiana and the U.S., and why Hispanic
girls are particularly at risk
Barbara Seitz de Martinez, Indiana University
Substance abuse is the second biggest risk factor for suicide after anxiety and
depression ("Substance Abuse Prevention IS Suicide Prevention," NPN Conference,
Hartford, 2015; SAMHSA, Substance Abuse and Suicide Connection: White Paper, 2009).
Research shows that people with severe depression or substance abuse disorders are at
elevated risk for suicide (Fran Harding, "Setting the Stage," NPN Conference, 2014).
Though more adults commit suicide, it is the second leading cause of death for teens
and young adults, ages 15-24, outnumbering homicides (American Association of
Suicidology, Suicide in the USA, 2014). Although Blacks and Hispanics have lower rates
of suicide than whites, this does not hold true for youth. Perceived discrimination
(Seaton, et al, 2008; Tummala-Narra & Claudius, 2013) and the stresses of acculturation
(Forster,et al, 2013) are risk factors for depression among youth. Of any race or ethnicity,
10
Indiana Hispanic females reported the highest rates for feelings of sadness, suicidal
thoughts, making a plan, attempting suicide and for attempts that resulted in injury or
harm (CDC, 2014). Compared to white non-Hispanic females, Hispanic females' rates of
having had thoughts of suicide were 30.2% vs. 19.5%, having made a suicide plan, 27.2%
vs. 12.4%, having made a suicide attempt, 15.6% vs. 9.2%, and attempts resulting in
injury or harm, 5.2% vs. 3.5%. This paper will explore the risk and protective factors for
adolescent mental health and substance abuse, focusing on the topic of suicide,
comparing Indiana to the U.S. and paying particular attention to acculturation as a risk
factor for Hispanic girls.

Infrastructure in addiction science: The emergence of an interdisciplinary field
Thomas Babor, University of Connecticut
Addiction Studies is one of the first interdisciplinary areas in modern science, utilizing
professionals from psychiatry, sociology, biology, biochemistry, neuroscience,
psychology, economics, and many other disciplines. The latter part of the 20th century
brought rapid growth in the number of professional scientists and academic institutions
involved in the treatment, prevention and scientific study of social and medical
problems associated with the use of alcohol, tobacco and illicit drugs. This presentation
describes the development of a global infrastructure supporting addiction science. Six
areas are reviewed to describe the cumulative growth of the field: 1) research centers; 2)
specialty journals; 3) professional societies; 4) training and education programs; 5)
treatment and prevention programs; and 6) funding agencies. The current worldwide
infrastructure of addiction science is found to include numerous research funding
sources, over 100 specialized scholarly scientific journals, scores of professional societies,
over 200 research centers, and thousands of career scientists. It is concluded that if the
mission of addiction science is to produce fundamental knowledge, then the current
infrastructure has been functioning appropriately. But if a second mission is to inform
society on how best to manage the problems of addiction at the individual and
population levels, much work remains to be done.
9:30 - 10:00 a.m.
Development of a comprehensive health promotion AOD prevention initiative for
a university
James Lange, San Diego State University
There are many ways to think about comprehensive prevention strategies. Often such
strategies attempt to cover all targets, all drugs, or all stages of a target population’s
need. Another approach is to consider the functional role that prevention strategies
play and place them within a rubric that comprehensively describes their fit within the
universe of possible functions. This functional approach to comprehensive strategies
brings clarity of purpose that is easily translatable to those both within and outside the
11
AOD prevention field: allowing for greater buy-in for bold programmatic initiatives. Dr.
Lange will discuss the theoretical underpinnings of the functional comprehensive model
and use his work at SDSU as an example of the programmatic organization and
innovation that this model has helped facilitate. Following that introduction, he’ll
introduce worksheets that campuses can use to assess their current programming within
the rubric and perhaps find gaps or missed synergistic opportunities within their efforts.

Marijuana: Exploring the next steps in marijuana control as the Western world
experiences an attitude and policy shift
Sheila Lacroix, Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (moderator)
Now that some jurisdictions have legalized the recreational use of marijuana, Western
society seems to be on the brink of a major attitude and policy shift. Three panelists will
share their views and expert opinion on issues such as approaches to control policy, the
challenges of the uneven legal landscape, and possible consequences to adolescent
health and behavior as marijuana becomes a “mainstream” drug like alcohol or tobacco.
The panelists will begin the session with brief presentations, to be followed by a
Fishbowl where conference attendees will be able to offer their insights and specific
resources and provide news of what is happening in their country, province or state. The
session will conclude with a period of questions and discussion.

Substance Abuse Librarians & Information Specialists
SALIS (Substance Abuse Librarians & Information Specialists) is an international association of
individuals and organizations with special interests in the exchange and dissemination of alcohol,
tobacco, and other drug (ATOD) information. Incorporated in California since 1988, SALIS is
recognized by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c) 3 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
Brief History
SALIS was created in 1978 with assistance from the U.S. National
Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) and the National Institute on
Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA). In 1986, Librarians and
Information Specialists in Addictions (LISA), the Canadian
counterpart, merged with SALIS, as did European Libraries and
Information Services on Addictions (Elisad) in 2014.

active role with the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP)

RADAR Network, and was a part of the advisory team of the
National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA)

join ICARA, International Confederation of Alcohol, Tobacco and
Other Drugs (ATOD) Research Associations, which was confirmed by
the SALIS board in Jan 2015. Now entering its 37th year, SALIS continues to promote the vital
importance of libraries, databases, and other information resources and the need for digitization and
digital archives to preserve the landscape of the ATOD arena.
