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.
