Novembers’s #auslibchat discussed all things health librarianship.
From systematic reviews, clinician support, to cataloguing anatomical models, & health literacy at your local library, we’ll be discussing all aspects of Health(y) Libraries!
This chat brought to you by @aliangac and @HealthLibsAust.
The questions are:
Q1: How do you search for health information? Have you assisted clients to find reliable resources for health topics?
Q2: What makes health librarianship different from other information management fields?
Q3: What are the ethical implications of health librarianship? How do you assist clients concerned about privacy as health information becomes digital?
Q4: Can health librarians save lives?
Q5: Does your organisation promote health literacy amongst your users? If so, how?
Huge thanks to the Health Libraries Australia ALIA group for collaborating on this special topic.
