The HLA Great Debate is back, and this year it will form the final lunchtime Professional Development session hosted by Health Libraries Australia.
Six of the best and brightest among us (debatable?) will debate the topic:
“Health Librarians will not be needed in 10 years time”. After hearing all of the speakers make their case, attendees can vote on which side they think made the most convincing case.
To add a little spice, the losing panellists will also lose their jobs …
Nothing like a little existential dread to celebrate the end of the year!
Speakers: Frances Guinness 🍺; Barry Nunn ; Erica Hateley; Tony Courtenay; Laura Hurd 🎧; Angela Smith 👼
📅 Date: Wednesday 6 December
🕒 Time: 3-4pm (Vic, NSW, ACT, TAS); 2:30-3:30pm (SA); 2-3pm (QLD); 1:30-2:30pm (NT); 12-1pm (WA); 5-6pm (NZ)
Platform: Zoom

We need your help! (for just a few minutes …)
We are updating the ALIA HLA Competencies (2018) to reflect current and likely future requirements for the specialist health librarian and health library technician workforce, and to ensure they are compatible with the ALIA Framework of Skills, Knowledge and Ethics for the LIS workforce (2024).
This 3 minute survey aims to understand awareness and use of both documents by health librarians and health library technicians wherever they work, as well as anyone (e.g. educators) who may have an interest in this workforce group.
It would be great if you can submit your response by 2nd Dec 2024.
Please forward to anyone you think may be interested.

On behalf of HLA, thank you for your input.
