Innovation is not dependant on generous funding! In this two-hour workshop Kevin Hennah demonstrates this with sophisticated and highly creative ideas for display and interior decoration which draw inspiration from retail, museums and art galleries highlighting that there is much to gain when looking outside the Library industry for inspiration. Wanting to transform your library space in innovative but budget friendly ways? In this webinar Kevin will feature a couple of health library case studies to inspire us.
Presenter – Kevin Hennah
Kevin Hennah has carried out approximately 2000 onsite consultations at libraries internationally. He has a wealth of experience in library design and refurbishment and is passionate about keeping libraries relevant.
As a direct result of Kevin Hennah’s workshops and consultations, many libraries have reported a significant increase in both customers and loans – because, in Kevin’s words, “Change is inevitable, yet maintaining relevance is a matter of choice!”
Case studies
Kevin will choose some case studies and offer feedback. If you are keen send in a photo taken from your library entrance to angela.smith@health.nsw.gov.au

Coming up over the next couple of months:
May
What I love about being a health librarian – Peter Murgatroyd, Glynis Jones, Alana McDonald, Fiona Jones
(Above interesting? Then you might like to view the video Why I Love Being a Hospital Librarian (from MLA) or the video Health Librarians gone in 10 years? (the debate clearly won by the Yes team, but the No team officially winning due to “it is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it” – Upton Sinclair 🙂)
June
Levering Wikipedia for health and care research dissemination and impact – Adam Harangozo
AI Tools for Information Professionals Update – Phil Bradley
While you are here …
Any ideas for HLA seminars that you would particularly like to see?
Or perhaps you would like to present something yourself – either very short or more extended?
In either case, just send a quick email

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)
