The Australian Evidence-Based Practice Librarians’ Institute (AEBPLI) is an introduction to Evidence-Based Practice, focusing on question building, searching, critical appraisal of the literature, and advanced topics related to systematic reviews. Facilitated by health sciences librarians from Australia and the US, the curriculum combines content in engaging large group lectures with small group sessions for practising concepts. It is a four-day immersive residential program for hospital and academic librarians to work together in a supportive environment.
This workshop provides an overview of identifying clinical trials and trial results for systematic reviews and other evidence syntheses. It covers sources such as trials / trials results registers, regulatory agency sources, and other novel resources. Participants will learn how to search the above sources, how to manage search results and report their searches.
For this course, we are partnering with Instats, an organization that provides training and expert support / consultancy, as well as open access to research networks, forums and job opportunities. An official Instats certificate of completion will be provided at the conclusion of the course
The course fee is 216 GBP, 259 EUR, 280 USD, 393 AUD or 1,991 CNY
The 2024 HLA Conference theme is: Wicked Problems, Innovative Solutions.
Join us for an exhilarating exploration of the multifaceted challenges facing our libraries. Don’t miss the opportunity to join the conversation, collaborate with others and emerge equipped with new knowledge and strategies to navigate the wicked problems of today’s health libraries.
Libraries face a myriad of complex challenges in today’s dynamic information environment. Often described as ‘wicked problems’ due to their multifaceted and interconnected nature, these encompass diverse issues including;
Open access publishing
AI technologies
Advocacy and community engagement
Digital transformation
Equity of access
Copyright and intellectual property
Funding and budget constraints
Changing user demands
Addressing these wicked problems requires innovative solutions that often go beyond traditional approaches. They require librarians to be innovative, adaptable and collaborative to provide effective solutions.
