The Canadian Academy of Sport Medicine (CASM) held its first Timely Topics workshop on osteoarthritis this past Friday in Victoria, British Columbia. Dr. Andrew Marshall and Dr. Bruce Davidson led the hands on workshop. Both physicians are actively involved in the athlete community. Brandie Adams from SIRC, presented and answered questions about SIRC and the SPORTDiscus.

SIRC at the CASM-OMA Sport Medicine Conference
Being highlighted at two pre-conference workshops, SIRC started off the CASM Conference with a bang.
First, Reference Librarian, Brandie Adams spoke about membership during the Osteoarthritis Workshop Wednesday morning. Then, the article “The Sport Specific Movement Assessment” by Bruce Craven published in SIRCuit was highlighted during the Injury Prevention session. In the evening, Nancy Rebel and Brandie Adams were on hand to answer questions for CASM delegates ranging from how to log in, to what publications are in the SIRC Collection. Everyone loved that they could email or call one of the SIRC librarians and information specialists. It was great to hear how many people are familiar with SIRC and enjoy the SIRC Newsletters.
If you would like to visit SIRC at the CASM Conference we are located at booth 221-223 in the Metro East ballroom at the Westin Harbour Castle. Located next to the compression garment. booth which ironically is the topic of the latest newsletter!

CASM /SIRC Membership Benefits … Ask , Search, Receive
CASM members love SIRC. They love getting the SIRC Newsletters and SIRC Daily Press Releases but have a feeling there is more and they want to know how to tap into it.
Brandie Adams and Nancy Rebel were more than willing to explain some of the additional benefits. The three member benefits they highlighted to CASM were:
Ask A Librarian.
The librarians and information specialists at SIRC are available to answer member questions. It can range from how to register and log in to research for presentations and papers.
SIRC Collection.
We subscribe to hundreds of publications that our members can access providing electronic full text access and/or print document delivery.
Personalized Aisle.
CASM has worked with SIRC to establish a list of hot topics that are then made into an “aisle.” SIRC scans the collection and adds new references to these categories on a regular basis providing members with an easy access point on topics such as concussion, pregnancy and exercise and osteoarthritis.
Nancy Rebel and Amanda Street-Bishop will be at the CASM Conference Exhibit Hall today until 5:00PM. Located in the West Harbour Castle Metropolitan East Ballroom they are ready to answer any questions members may have regarding their SIRC membership.
