The new HLG Newsletter is now available for downloading. The group stopped the print production of the newsletter a few issues ago.
In this issue there is a call for applications for the HLG bursary to support any HLG member who wishes to attend training events including study days and conferences. A bursary of up to £500 is available so if you are thinking about submitting an abstract for the next HLG conference (deadline for abstract submission is Friday 16th November 07) then it may be worth applying for the funding.
Also in this edition is a short article on promoting NLH Specialist Libraries and National Knowledge Weeks in Primary and Acute Trust Settings. Various initiatives are descibed by the West Midlands Librarians.
Internet sites of interest focus on 'foot and mouth' and 'open access'. Phil Bradley's 'How to use Web 2.0 in your library is also reviewed.
The new literature highlighted includes some interesting articles on EBM and how effective EBM teaching is on knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviour of postgraduate healthcare workers. A randomised trial of the PICO format to improve PubMed searching looks like a good article for the Clinical Librarians Journal Club. See the newsletter for reference details.
And finally, a link to a description and screenshots of the proposed Google Health Service for patient health information is provided.
