Award for the Best Oral Presentation - KnowledgeShare: A web-based tool to connect people with evidence and to connect people with people
Get PDFKnowledgeShare, a web-based application, was produced to manage core services (evidence searching, teaching, current awareness), to increase access to evidence, and to aid collaborative working. The system enables library and knowledge service (LKS) staff to collaborate on and deliver personalised, targeted updates to members about healthcare topics in their field. Through KnowledgeShare, members can connect with one another based on shared professional interests. KnowledgeShare has been implemented at Brighton and Sussex NHS Library and Knowledge Service and extended to other LKS teams in the South East of England. The system has enabled the creation of an extended network of LKS teams who can standardise quality, spread the workload of current awareness provision and share evidence reviews

Get PDFDear Colleagues,Services provided by librarians to clinicians have been shown to be effective in saving time for health professionals andproviding relevant information for decision-making. Patients’ length of stay was reduced when clinicians requestedliterature searches related to a patient\u27s case (L. Perrier et al., J Am Med Inform Assoc. 2014 May 28).Moreover, librarians have become more involved in developing high quality systematic reviews (P. Cruse and S.Protzko. Med Ref Serv Q. 2014;33:327).A study compared Wikipedia articles on the most costly medical conditions with standard, evidence-based, peerreviewedsources. The conclusion is that caution should be used when using Wikipedia to answer questions regardingpatient care (R.T. Hasty et al. J Am Osteopath Assoc. 2014;14:368)

The library of the future is present
Get PDFThe library of the future is an elusive, ever-changing goal. Creating it is a challenge in an environment of resource constraints that force difficult decisions. However, change has been constant in the history of information and libraries. Throughout the changes, the librarian has remained central to the library as an expert information manager who adds value in her collaborations and partnerships with faculty, staff, students, and care providers. In the future, people will displace collections and space as the key aspect of a library
