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.

✍ Event Description
Health economics evidence is a key element in much health services research and particularly in health technology assessments. Identifying economic evidence to inform such research can involve searches in a range of databases and using a variety of strategies. This study day will include a ‘jargon buster’ session on the basics of health economics and economic models. It will also feature presentations about key economics information resources including the CEA Registry, and explorations of options for searching to identify data for economic models. With the closure of key economic evaluation databases (NHS EED and HEED) we will be focusing on how to identify economic evaluations from major bibliographic databases. There will be opportunities for hands-on practice.
Presenter: Julie Glanville, Independent Consultant in Information Retrieval.
