COMMITTEE CORNER: NOVEL COMMITTEE UPDATE

Committee Purpose?
The purpose of the NOVEL Committee is to encourage growth and development of the Neuro-Ophthalmology Virtual Education Library (NOVEL), creating, guiding and prioritizing activities. All materials in NOVEL are reviewed and approved through peer review by the NANOS NOVEL Editorial Board. To do this project we have collaborated with the Eccles Health Sciences Library, University of Utah.
Recent Achievement(s) or Update(s)?
Our BIG project last year was completing and publishing the NANOS Neuro-ophthalmology Examination Techniques (NANOS NExT), as a separate licensed product in Stat!Ref, combined with the Walsh and Hoyt Clinical Neuro-Ophthalmology textbook. This product is filled with videos, presentations, and documents that highlight the complete list of neuro-ophthalmology examinations. This is a new method of publication; a cross between an e-book and online living text book.
The NANOS Illustrated Curriculum in Neuro-ophthalmology (IC), also a licensed publication in Stat!Ref, has now been linked to the three Oxford Press titles with NANOS member authors:
• Neuroimaging in Ophthalmology 2/e, 2011, Lee, Policeni, Johnson
• Neurology of Eye Movements 5/e, 2015, Leigh & Zee
• Eye Movement Disorders in Clinical Practice, 2014, Wray
The NANOS IC is also on the NANOS Web site as a member benefit. In addition, we have developed a smaller subset of the Curriculum, aimed at neurologists. Both of these outlines with links to the selected materials in the NOVEL collections are accessible for members at this link on the NANOS Web site: https://www.nanosweb.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageid=4013

Future Goal(s)?
Our next BIG project involves collaboration with the Curriculum Committee (Chair: Sachin Kedar) and the NOVEL Editorial Board (Chair: Tariq Bhatti). The NANOS Neuro-ophthalmology Curriculum is being updated by a task force of the Curriculum committee (Sachin Kedar, Kathleen Digre, Valerie Biousse). First published in 2006, this curriculum will be revised and re-organized to incorporate recent developments in the field and align it with the requirements of various accreditation bodies. When the outline is finalized, we will recruit Section Editors, who will be responsible for reviewing their sections and soliciting new learning objects to thoroughly cover all the topics in their area. This work will be reflected in the NANOS Illustrated Curriculum on the NANOS Web site for Members Only (login required) and in the Stat!Ref platform.
We continue to update and enhance other collections and we encourage submissions to the NOVEL library.
