Outreach librarians at large – conferences in 2011
Weds AM meeting
7th Sept 2011

ICLC 2011
International Clinical Librarians’ Conference 2011
Birmingham Botanical Gardens
13 – 14 June
DAY ONE: Eli and Owen attended (and Eli gave presentation)
DAY TWO: Eli, Amanda and Liz attended

Highlights of Day One AM
Newly created! Association of Clinical Librarians and Informationists: http://www.aclionline.org/
Fiona Godlee– BMJ Editor – open access; the “urgent need to get evidence into practice”; impact of evidence on patient safety. (And sales spiel about BMJ products eg Clinical Evidence etc).

Day One AM
Pip Divall – Clinical Librarian Service manager, University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust – new database to record their literature searches, the Clinical Information Search System; development of a career structure for Clinical Librarians at UHL.
Anne Woods – Chief Nursing Officer from Wolters Kluwer Health, US – how to get clinicians (etc) to use the evidence (by using Ovid products!).

Day One PM
Jon Brassey– TRIP Database – Talked about the State of the Evidence and how to find answers to clinical questions; argued that clinicians STILL don’t search ‘properly’ to find answers, instead they ask colleagues; need to prioritise research eg systematic reviews and primary research, because “less is more” when there is so much data out there.
Blitter – TRIP’s new curated list of clinicians’ blogs and tweets that you can search to find out what people are talking about.

Day One PM
Yongtao Lin – Librarian at University of Calgary, Canada – embedded research librarianship model: Argued that ‘embedded’ librarians are good to enhance education for users/readers/etc, increase research efficiency and effectiveness, and improve the quality and quantity of research.
They help their readers with bibliographic management, ‘brainstorming’, citation verification, current awareness, literature searching, and research skills.
All very similar to what we do!

My presentation

Day Two AM
Katie Adams – User Research Analyst for NHS Evidence – described new features of NHS Evidence.
Sarah Sutton – Clinical Librarian at University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust – gave us highlights from MLA 2011, eg. “Medical Librarians are like Google, because we create tools to solve problems” [Ruth Holst, MLA presidential address].

Day Two AM
Sara Clarke – now a Specialist Librarian in Oslo- development of clinical librarian service in Norway, which is rich because of oil, so can afford to have national subscription to UpToDate.
All librarians in Oslo hospital libraries are professionals, to ensure that all staff members can do lit searches as well as document supply!

Day Two PM
Jane Surtees – Deputy Head of Library Knowledge Service at Royal Derby Hospital – review of their clinical librarian service.
Sent out questionnaire with letter to all staff on wards. Had 110 Q’aires returned out of 496.
Findings included eg: Nurses need information for patient care, teaching, CPD; people made use of the web, textbooks, databases, and… library staff to find information.
Interviewed 27 staff members to find out more details, eg that yes, clinical librarians are “perceived favourably” and contribute to patient care!

Discussion Point
The use of images in conference presentations: Do the lolcats images enhance the presentation, or do they look a bit odd in context?
