While the concept of a learning health system (LHS) is not new, our expectations for its functionality have evolved dramatically over the past five decades. Medical practitioners have traditionally shared new insights, albeit slowly, via the peer-reviewed medical literature. However, the increasing application of information technology in healthcare has provided us with the capabilities necessary to vastly accelerate and improve this process so that each patient encounter both utilizes collective prior experience and immediately provides new data to guide subsequent care. A functional model of the LHS and a framework for assessing progress are introduced to illustrate how we are moving towards this goal. Key developments in the field, including the author’s own research, related to databases and registries, decision support, electronic medical records, and health information infrastructure are described in the context of this framework. Finally, a proposed design and implementation strategy for a fully functional health information infrastructure, the key underlying component of the LHS, is presented. Moving forward with this approach, we now have the opportunity to begin building, testing, and utilizing the efficient LHS that can truly revolutionize health care.

Abstract
Background: Information literacy has evolved with changes in lifelong learning. Can Brazilian health
researchers search for and use updated scientific information?
Objectives: To describe researchers’ information literacy based on their perceptions of their abilities to
search for and use scientific information and on their interactions with libraries.
Methods: Semi-structured interviews and focus group conducted with six Brazilian HIV/AIDS researchers.
Analyses comprised the assessment of researchers as disseminators, their interactions with librarians, their
use of information and communication technology and language.
Results: Interviewees believed they were partially qualified to use databases. They used words and phrases
that indicated their knowledge of technology and terminology. They acted as disseminators for students dur-
ing information searches. Researchers’ abilities to interact with librarians are key skills, especially in a
renewed context where libraries have, to a large extent, changed from physical spaces to digital environments.
Discussion: Great amounts of information have been made available, and researchers’ participation in courses
does not automatically translate into adequate information literacy. Librarians must help research groups, and
as such, librarians’ information literacy-related responsibilities in Brazil should be redefined and expanded.
Conclusions: Students must develop the ability to learn quickly, and librarians should help them in their
efforts. Librarians and researchers can act as gatekeepers for research groups and as information coaches
to improve others’ search abilities.
Keywords: Information literacy, library and information professionals, lifelong learning, qualitative,
research
Key Messages
• Research groups and librarians can contribute to information literacy by working together.
• Librarians should increase their awareness of information literacy and strongly support its
development.
• Information literacy should be evaluated in a comprehensive manner. It should not be evaluated
solely based on course participation.
Introduction
The Internet, online databases, digital publications
and other technologies have made the search for
scientific information more accessible and, simulta-
neously, more complex.1 The area of information
science, as well as other knowledge areas, contin-

Competencies of Librarians as a Factor Affecting Information, Service Deliver...SubmissionResearchpa
This study investigated the competencies of librarians as a factor affecting information service delivery in Delta state university (DELSU) library and Federal university of petroleum resources (FUPRE) library. The main objective of the study was to determine the extent to which information and competencies of librarians in DELSU and FUPRE affect their information service delivery. The instrument used for data collection was the questionnaire. A descriptive survey design was used in this study. A total of 61 librarians were selected using the total enumeration sampling technique since the total population was manageable. A total of 52 copies of the questionnaire were retrieved and analyzed using simple percentage, mean score, and standard deviation. The findings of this study show that: the majority of the respondents possess high extent of the ICT skills, majority have high extent of customer-service competency, and most librarians possess high extent of competency in interpersonal communication. It was concluded that these skills, though basic are a good platform that increases the effect of relevant information service delivery in the library. A minor but regular training was said to be what will do the magic by Ogagaoghene Uzezi IDHALAMA, Afebuameh James AIYEBELEHIN and Onomiroro OKOBO 2020.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2. Library is a collection or group of collections of
books and/or other print or non-print materials
organized and maintained for use (reading,
consultation, study, research, etc.) (ODLIS)
4. Libraries matter to us because knowledge matter to
all of us. The basic principal has increased in value
as we move into a world that is fuelled by
information.
Communities thrive that are informed and
knowledgeable.
Libraries are constituent to civilization and good
governance.
Libraries are integral to research and educational
mission of the Institute.
5. Literacy is “ability to read and write” (National
Literacy Mission )
In present context-
Literacy is “using printed and written information
to function in society, to achieve one’s goals, and
to develop one’s knowledge and potential” (U.S.
National Center for Education Studies)
7. Earlier librarians used to provide:
Basic library orientation programs
Basic services-purchasing, processing, issue-return, weeding of books,
membership etc.
With the Influx of technology librarians provide :
Advanced library services –formulate policies-selection, purchase,
organize, manage, print/non-print materials, create repositories,
membership & disseminate valuable information etc. & facilitate them
Teach information literacy to students etc.- Literature searching,
database searching, evidence based practice, PBL, copyright,
plagiarism , evaluation of resources
Collaborate with academicians , administrators - develop guides and
tutorials and curriculum design

workplace and for everyday life ?
What does it mean in those contexts?
What are the issues?
Why IL is important ?
What are IL standards ?
9. Information literacy is a set of abilities
enabling individuals to “recognize when
information is needed and have the ability
to locate, evaluate, and use effectively the
needed information” (American Library
Association, 1989)
10. People lack awareness about importance of libraries and
information literacy courses.
21st century workplace and everyday information
literacy are not well understood or sufficiently
researched
Many people do not apply, share or transfer information
and skills to their successors

22. The people’s life chances are strongly influenced
by both their access to and understanding of
various information resources,
It applies to everyone. No one - rich or poor,
young or old - is exempt from the need to
understand information about their own health or
that of those for whom they are responsible.
Even complex concepts and technical jargon can
be made accessible and intelligible to interested
lay people.
23. Health Information Literacy is the set of abilities needed to:
recognize a health information need; identify likely
information sources and use them to retrieve relevant
information; assess the quality of the information and its
applicability to a specific situation; and analyze,
understand, and use the information to make good health
decisions.(Medical Library Association )

in the development of the information literacy programs
To relate these practices to the expectations and competencies
outlined in the Information Literacy Standards
Also,
To find the status of medical librarians in terms of their pay scales,
staff strength and resources, services and trainings offered
29. The project concentrates on selected medical
libraries located in Delhi.
Delhi being the capital of India most of the
medical libraries including NML, ICMR, NIHFW
are situated here.
Libraries located in Delhi give a representative
view about medical libraries of India
30. This research uses quantitative method that involves the
use of questionnaires to know about the collection details,
technological infrastructure, services/facilities rendered
and implementation, of IL programs curriculum, training
and teaching ways adopted by librarians – Questionnaire-I
Questionnaire-II given to the library users in the medical
institution of Delhi to determine their information literacy
skill level
Data analysis and interpretation will be based on the
feedback received from the respondents.
31. Challenges/Observations
Need trained manpower/ support staff
