Presenter: Anna Griffith, Library Manager – Albury Wodonga Health
Overview: For many health libraries, facilitating evidence-based healthcare often extends to supporting clinicians to publish their own research and case reports. Navigating the maze of health journals, submission requirements and the growing discussion around open access is something many health librarians have learnt through experience, but there are some tools and basic rules that can help. In this lunchtime session, Anna Griffith (AWH Library and UNSW conjoin) will present on “Manuscript publication” to help fill some of the gaps in the writing and publication process, and provide a useful resource for other health librarians who also find themselves frequently asked– how do I get my research published?
Where: On Zoom (details sent the day prior)
When: Thursday May 11th,1:00pm – 2:00pm AEST

Cost: ALIA Members Free; $15 Non-members. Another reason to consider HLA Membership …
Please note the event will be recorded and available for attendees to view.

Presenter: John Prentice, ANZCA
Overview: This presentation will demonstrate the use of MS Access, to create a low-cost interlibrary loan/document delivery database that automates both the typical article search, request, and communication process for a health library, and the requesting mechanism for most ILL/DD networks/systems. Using the example of the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists (ANZCA) Library as a case study, this database has enabled the automation of a previously almost entirely manual process. With a volume of over 1640 article requests from a user base of approximately 7500 fellows and trainees, the ANZCA Library has significantly reduced the turnaround time to the requestor, saving staff time and providing quality clinical information in a timely manner.
As part of the HLA/MedicalDirector Digital Health Innovation Award John has scaled this database up making it feely accessible for everyone to use. Come along and learn about the database, how you can access it and how your library can benefit.

A recently published report by the MoreBrains Cooperative, commissioned by the Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) and the Australian Access Federation (AAF) found that close to 38,000 person-days per year, equivalent to nearly AUS$24 million, could be saved through the nationwide adoption of key persistent identifiers (PIDs) and the reuse of their associated metadata.
