Welcome to the second week of Medical Librarians Month for 2026.
Congratulations to Luke Everson from LaTrobe University, who was victorious in the week 1 quiz. He was randomly selected from 21 entries who correctly answered all 5 questions, out of a frankly astonishing 133 total respondents. Surely you all have systematic review searches to finish off (says the librarian writing stupid quizzes who definitely has systematic review searches that need finishing off… and HLA presentations that need starting finishing). Luke’s prize is a gloriously analogue replica Gameboy, replete with 108 games and no internet connectivity. No cookies, no algorithms, no advertising, no sloppy summaries, no logins, no 2FA. Just nostalgia and the unalloyed joy of digital distraction and cortisol-sluicing addiction. ( Fun fact, if Marty McFly went back from today, he would go back to… 1996). Correct answers from last week’s quiz are below.
For this week’s quiz, simply identify the Australian hospital that has a health library somewhere within its rabbit warren. Feel free to forward on to any colleagues who may not be on this list but who might appreciate momentary respite from bed block and budget constraints. And remember, if you cheat a Portuguese journalist will leak your emails and after an 8 year investigation you will have your victory rescinded and your Gameboy reclaimed.
