- W1999077785 abstract "Ysabel Bertolucci, AHIP, a distinguished hospital librarian, died unexpectedly on September 6, 2012, just one week following her retirement from Kaiser Permanente Medical Center in Oakland, California. Her extensive career in health sciences librarianship leaves a legacy of wit, dedication, irrepressibility, irreverence, charm, elegance, and love of her profession and of life. All who have known Ysabel—childhood friends, colleagues, and others—lost an unwavering friend, remarkable mentor, and “outspoken” and outstanding colleague.Ysabel obtained her bachelor of arts (AB) degree from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1971, followed by her master's of science in library science (MSLS) from the University of Southern California in 1972. Her first professional position was at Kaiser Permanente Medical Center, South San Francisco, California, where she served from 1975–1987 as health sciences librarian. From 1973–1975, she served as associate librarian at the Kaiser Foundation School of Nursing in Oakland, California. She spent the majority of her forty-year career at Kaiser at the Health Sciences Library of Kaiser Permanente Medical Center in Oakland, California, beginning in 1987. She retired as library services manager in August 2012, after twenty-five years of distinguished service at Kaiser Permanente Oakland. At Kaiser, she implemented quality service programs for the Northern California libraries, developed training programs for health professionals, served as the MEDLARS training and nursing literature consultant, and provided guidance and mentorship to many within the Kaiser Permanente Librarians Peer Group. In 2005, she and Kaiser colleagues published the results of an extensive survey of Kaiser physicians, “Facilitating Physician Access to Medical Reference Information,” which documented the shift from the use of on-site medical library reference resources to computer-based reference information 1. She also served as a consultant to the Kaiser Permanente School of the Allied Health Sciences in planning for accreditation by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. Most recently, she was tapped to help design a Kaiser Permanente National Library Vision and Infrastructure, in coordination with the Kaiser program office and representing the northern and southern California Kaiser enterprise.Ysabel truly believed in the significant work accomplished by associations and in their advocacy for the profession. She received a certificate in medical librarianship in 1974 and had been a Distinguished Member of the Academy of Health Information Professionals since 1990. In 2003, she was a candidate for the MLA Board of Directors, and in her response to the question posed to all candidates by the Nominating Committee regarding MLA's new strategic vision and plan, she said:Advocacy is the key to the advancement of health sciences librarianship. A strong association visible in the information arena will encourage those with interest in librarianship, focus discussion on health information issues, and retain the bright minds that will mold the future of the profession. Given the limited resources of the association, we need to make an information advocate of every member. That advocacy is the most important skill we can learn. Many of my colleagues say that MLA should do something about every issue—I believe, however, that it is we as individual members who should work together with MLA on issues of importance. For inspiration, I look to my nurse colleagues. Through their very strong American Nurses Association, they have been able to change the public and the administrative perception of the nursing profession. We are a profession smaller in number but definitely not lesser in value! 2Although she was not elected to the board in 2003, she later achieved director status as Section Council chair for 2011–2014 and looked forward to making contributions and serving out her term on the MLA Board through 2014. She was a cheerleader for both MLA and the MLA chapter she supported and served for so long, the Northern California and Nevada Medical Library Group (NCNMLG). Ysabel's heartfelt service to health sciences librarianship and numerous achievements were recognized by her peers with awards such as MLA's 2003 Lois Ann Colaianni Award for Excellence and Achievement in Hospital Librarianship, the 2001 Nursing and Allied Health Resources Section Award for Professional Excellence, the 1992 NCNMLG Award for Professional Excellence, and Distinguished Membership in MLA's Academy of Health Information Professionals. Her other MLA activities included serving as chair of the 2011/12 Credentialing Committee and 2005/06 MLA/Thomson Reuters Doctoral Fellowship Jury, cochair of the 2003 National Program Committee, hospitality chair of the 1991 National Program Committee, and member of numerous committees and MLA sections, including the Hospital Libraries Section (HLS), International Cooperation Section, Medical Informatics Section, Consumer and Patient Health Information Section, Nursing and Allied Health Resources Section, the 2008 Nominating Committee, the 2003 Task Force on Global Initiatives, the 1999–2001 Mentoring Program Task Force, and the 1996–1998 Professional Recognition Review Panel. From 2005–2008, she served as MLA's representative to the Interagency Council on Information Resources in Nursing (ICIRN) and as ICIRN's 2007/08 president. Her expertise in nursing librarianship and ICIRN led to her essential nursing resources publication in 2007 3.Ysabel was a stalwart champion for hospital-based librarians and nursing and allied health librarians. She was an HLS member beginning in 1985, served on the HLS Standards Committee from 1993–1995, and was one of the three authors of MLA's 1994 Standards for Hospital Libraries, which, despite several revisions, is still a cornerstone for hospital librarianship practice. Ysabel received the HLS Scroll of Exemplary Service. She was also one of the founding members of the Nursing and Allied Health Resources Section, where she served in numerous capacities, including as chair from 1997–1998.From her earliest membership years, Ysabel was an active leader in the NCNMLG. She served as president in 1981/82 and most recently was one of the tri-chairs for the Joint NCNMLG/Medical Library Group of Southern California and Arizona Joint Meeting in 2011. Ysabel was a strong believer in introducing new librarians to the benefits that active participation in a professional organization can give. She championed mentorship in NCNMLG and encouraged colleagues to build on their strengths and stretch beyond their comfort zones, providing guidance and support with her special brand of humor. Her active participation as a member of the 1999–2001 MLA Mentoring Program Task Force illustrated her commitment to mentoring health sciences librarians. She never tired of talking to graduate students or new graduates about a career in health sciences librarianship. She was awarded the first NCNMLG Award for Professional Excellence in 1992.Her cosmopolitan heritage fueled her passion for international librarianship, and she attended many annual meetings of the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA). She served as an elected member and officer of IFLA's Health and Biosciences Libraries Section Standing Committee from 1997–2003 and was a mentor to many MLA members who were interested in international librarianship and service on IFLA's Health and Biosciences Libraries Section. Her work as secretary, treasurer, information officer, and chair of the section facilitated a stronger collaboration between US and international librarians and furthered MLA's mission to support the information needs of both health professionals and consumers on a global scale.While her passion for her chosen profession (since childhood) influenced her life choices, Ysabel also knew how to enjoy life to its fullest. Her fashion sense (colorful glasses and shoes that matched her upbeat personality), wicked sense of humor, directness, and foodie expertise enriched all who knew and met her. Most people who met Ysabel know she enjoyed good food. For every MLA annual meeting, Ysabel started early in the year researching the restaurants in the host city and organizing dinners with her friends and colleagues. Proud of her Spanish heritage, she always tried to find great tapas restaurants to sample and was most happy selecting the tapas to be ordered. She enjoyed having friends around, enjoying good food and good conversation.Ysabel was cochair of MLA '03, the 2003 MLA annual meeting in San Diego, which used the theme “MLA '03: Catch the Wave.” Ysabel always claimed that the MLA president who appointed her cochair some years before had specifically waited to approach her during a cocktail party at the joint meeting of the medical library groups in Southern California at a moment when she would have been having a little too much fun (and cocktails) and posed the question about serving as cochair. Luckily, Ysabel said yes at the cocktail party, MLA was well served, and she could claim thereafter that the MLA president had “schemed” to get her to do the job by first enlisting the aid and acceptance of the other cochair. It's all true. We are all the richer that in her professional and personal life Ysabel “caught the wave” and rode it well.well." @default.
