Editorial
Hello to you all, and welcome to the latest issue of HLG Nursing Bulletin,
bringing you a mix of articles that, to quote Lord Reith’s vision, will
hopefully inform, educate and entertain.
Keeping, managing and sharing data is a vitally important aspect in the
research process, with Research Data Management becoming an
increasing part of the work that LIS professionals engage in in
healthcare organisations. Here, Steven Walker relates how one NHS
organisation has been able to set up a system to retain and maintain its
research data in a way that has not cost a fortune, either in terms of
finance or staff time.
The CILIP/HEE Leadership program continues apace, with
communication the focus of the latest face-to-face session. Sam and
Heather, our regular columnists, discuss what went on at this session,
as well as the project work they and their group within the cohort are
engaging in.
A key element of Knowledge for Healthcare is the facilitation of public
access to good quality information, and this is where public libraries can
be important points for the public to come. Lisa Gardner describes the
study day held in Oldham in January 2018 that looked at the partnership
that can be forged between health and public librarians, and how it can
be made, forged and improved for the benefit of the public.
This is the last issue of the Bulletin before the HLG Conference in June.
You can still book a place if you haven’t already, in the knowledge that
the programme is now available for you to browse. Carol Stevenson, the
conference organiser, gives an update on the preparations for the
Bulletin 37 (2) 2018 HLG Nursing
45 HLG Nursing Bulletin
conference, with themes, speakers, and all sorts of other things to whet
your appetite.
Speaking of the HLG Conference, we have a special offer for those of
you that have been lucky (or unlucky, depending on your point of view!)
enough to have been chosen as a presenter. Not only is HLG’s CPD
Group offering peer support sessions for presenters, but LIHNN have
two separate presentation skills training days available to book places
on.
Additionally at the conference, the Health Libraries Group will be
presenting this year’s Cyril Barnard Memorial Prize for outstanding
contribution to medical librarianship, so we want your nominations. You
can make nominations via the online nominations form.
In addition to HLG of course, 2018 also sees the EAHIL conference in
Cardiff, and we have an update from the organisers detailing the
conference programme, list of speakers and how to book your place.
As always, we want your articles, so if you have an idea that you’d like to
share with the profession, get in touch with us. Whether it’s a study day
you’ve been to, some new procedure or process you’ve implemented, a
resource that you’ve just procured, or even an opinion you’d like to
share, let us know. This is YOUR bulletin. Details on how you can
contribute are at the end of the issue, and on our website.

Launching a Research Repository with
Microsoft SharePoint
Steven Walker
Librarian for Bristol
Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health NHS Partnership Trust
Email: steven.walker1@nhs.net
Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust (AWP) has set
up a digital Research Repository using SharePoint to host the
information on its Intranet. Working in collaboration, the Library and
Knowledge Service, Nursing and Quality and Research & Development
created a new Research Repository database. SharePoint is
underpinned by a powerful database and it is a very flexible tool in terms
of information management. AWP needed a tool that would facilitate
collaborative working, simulate database functions and present
information in a number of ways for different user requirements.
There are several databases and specialist information storage and
retrieval tools that could be used to host a Research Repository either
internally or externally through the Internet. While there is often a
temptation in organisations to think of using well known applications and
blogging software there are often local solutions that will meet your
needs just as effectively. In this article, I will explore how Microsoft
SharePoint can be deployed as an effective information solution in which
to create and share research across a healthcare organisation.
Before selecting a particular solution, one needs to consider the whole
process of how the information is going to be managed. For example,
consider questions such as ‘What are the information requirements now
and in the future?’ and ‘How can we organise the information effectively
Bulletin 37 (2) 2018 HLG Nursing
47 HLG Nursing Bulletin
and also cost effectively?’ IT budgets in a number of organisations are
under pressure with the demands of support agreements, upgrades and
migration to new platforms. It is most advantageous if your plans can be
incorporated within an existing solution.
One of the key strengths of SharePoint is that it is a web-based
collaborative working tool that can be accessed by everyone through an
Intranet so there is minimal effort in terms of setting up the solution other
than promoting your new tool within your community of users once it has
been established. Given that in the majority of cases it will be in use
within an organisation there will be no financial cost or licensing burden.
Figure 1: AWP Repository home page
Details of staff research and publications were originally held in a
spreadsheet which was imported into a SharePoint List. Almost
Bulletin 37 (2) 2018 HLG Nursing
48 HLG Nursing Bulletin
everything within SharePoint is organised within ‘Lists’ and these
function in a similar way to spreadsheets. ‘Lists’ are a very effective way
to manage, store and manipulate information. SharePoint provides the
opportunity to present the same information in different ways using filters
called Views. The Research Repository has several ‘Views’ that present
different aspects of the data relating to the publications. For example,
there is a ‘View’ for ‘All Research’, ‘AWP Sponsored Research’ and
‘Systematic Reviews’ to a name a few. The data that is presented within
these ‘Views’ is filtered according to keywords in the columns within the
‘List’.
The data is currently managed by our Research and Development
department here at AWP. The ‘List’ within SharePoint is controlled by a
set of permissions so that while most users across the organisation can
browse the information, they cannot make changes or add details of new
publications. In due course, it may prove time consuming to have
members of our Research and Development team update the ‘List’ every
time a member of staff wishes to add details of publications that they
have been involved in writing. Instead, an automated form called an
‘Infopath’ form may be used to co-ordinate the information flow. For
example, when a member of staff wishes to submit details of their
publication they could complete an ‘Infopath’ form. The appropriate team
members in Research and Development will be notified of a pending
submission and will need to make a decision as to whether to approve or
reject the information about the given publication. If the team decide to
accept the entry, the ‘Infopath’ form will automatically enter the data into
the Research Repository List.
Bulletin 37 (2) 2018 HLG Nursing
49 HLG Nursing Bulletin
Figure 2: Author list in repository
In the longer term, once the data has been cleansed, organised and
managed within SharePoint, it should be possible to present it for
inclusion in a wider Research Repository solution across the NHS
Library, Knowledge and Information community subject to the
requirements of stakeholders here at AWP.
In the future, there may be a need to generate reports in respect of the
data that is held within the Research Repository. One of the key
strengths of SharePoint is that it integrates very effectively with other
Microsoft Office applications such as Excel and Access. Data from a
‘List’ can be exported into a spreadsheet at the touch of the button for
further analysis, or indeed Microsoft Access in order to create a
database. As referred to above, it should be possible to import the
contents of the AWP Research Repository into a much broader, regional
Bulletin 37 (2) 2018 HLG Nursing
50 HLG Nursing Bulletin
or national database solution given the integration between SharePoint
and Microsoft Office applications.
The fact that SharePoint is a web-based tool allows for the presentation
of data in several different ways, especially with regard to filters and
views. In this respect, it is possible to try and achieve something that will
suit the needs of everyone within your organisation. Often, one of the
challenges within an organisation is to achieve the ‘buy in’ from
members of the team. One of the best ways to do this is to show them
that there is something positive in the solution for them.
SharePoint is a process improvement tool and there are some
limitations. It is not a fully blown out of the box library and information
management system. It doesn’t have the same look and feel as a
structured library system and search interface. Entering long abstracts
will be problematic within ‘Lists’ without technical developments as the
wandering text will distort the view of the page, so a concise summary
will go better with the ‘List’. Nevertheless, impressive, cost effective and
collaborative results can be achieved through using SharePoint’s
features to manage and sort information through mechanisms called
‘Lists’ and ‘Views’.
If you are considering developing a Research Repository do not be
deterred by the technical challenge. Your local webmaster or Information
Manager should be able to guide you through the process. Start in a
structured way and build up a spreadsheet of initial data that can be
transferred to a broader solution in due course. Consider what your aims
are and how these can best be achieved with your proposed solution.
Reflect upon how you would wish to have your data organised and
Bulletin 37 (2) 2018 HLG Nursing
51 HLG Nursing Bulletin
categorized, the possibilities are almost unlimited with tools such as
SharePoint.
Please feel to contact me via email should you have any questions
about the design and implementation of the Research Repository.

In January we met in Bristol for the latest face-to-face workshop where
the theme was communication as led by Claire Bradshaw. It was held in
a venue not too far from the city centre and included a nice brisk walk
from the hotel, across some of the waterways and past some really
interesting shops and sights.
After tea and coffee we all briefly said what our intentions were for the
day and what we hoped to learn or develop. The overwhelmingly popular
answer was confidence in communication. Other answers were:
Communicating upwards
Communicating with stakeholders
Networking
Communicating effectively in meetings
Checking comprehension
Communication style and channel in difficult situations
Bulletin 37 (2) 2018 HLG Nursing
53 HLG Nursing Bulletin
In groups we discussed what good communication looks like, sounds
like, and feels like. Heather’s table discussed what good communication
sounds like, and they came up with things such as making agreement
noises (yes, um, etc.), paraphrasing, matching speed and tone of
speech, verbal cues, and animated voices.
We did an exercise where we each had to think about the word
“camping” and what it meant to us. A few people fed back and each had
a slightly (or even drastically!) different answer. Some people said things
like “freedom” “outdoors” “campfires” “nature” and others (including
Heather) said things like “cold” “muddy” “dark” “tired” and “hungry!”
(Sam can’t remember what she said but probably covered the lack of
power to recharge her cochlear implant batteries!) This demonstrated
that the words we use can have different meanings for each of us as we
all have a different frame of reference and how we see the world. This
can positively or negatively affect our communication with others making
communication very difficult if our starting points are diametrically
opposing!
We also looked at the link between body and mind. Amy Cuddy (see
TED talks - https://www.ted.com/speakers/amy_cuddy) has done
research into how the body can affect the mind and vice versa.
Standing in a “power pose” for two minutes (making yourself as big as
possible – arms wide!) has been shown to increase confidence and aid
communication. This was so interesting and Heather tried this before
doing a presentation – it seemed to work!
Next we worked with a partner to turn limiting beliefs into empowering
beliefs. We each wrote down five limiting beliefs about ourselves and
Bulletin 37 (2) 2018 HLG Nursing
54 HLG Nursing Bulletin
turning them around to be positive and empowering. For example
Heather’s were:
Limiting Beliefs Empowering Beliefs
1. I’m rubbish 1. I want to do well
2. I’m not assertive enough 2. I give others space to speak
3. I don’t know what I’m doing 3. I’m doing what I need to do
4. Why am I here 4. I want to help
5. I can’t offer anything 5. I want to offer services to help others
After lunch we discussed the curse of knowledge and how knowing what
we mean ourselves can alter how we explain information, and can cause
frustration. We practiced this by tapping out a song to a partner for them
to guess the song. The tappers were frustrated by the difficulty of the
listeners to correctly guess the song – we knew what it was so it was
obvious to us! How could the listeners not understand?! We learnt that
when information isn’t understood, just repeating the same thing will not
usually get the same answer. For effective communication, sometimes
different methods are needed for comprehension.
Sam was particularly intrigued by the perceptual positioning tool
whereby we are encouraged to take a position to revisit a particular
conversation (or to plan an upcoming one). The tool works by taking
yourself back in time to be yourself again and repeating the conversation
in your head. You then physically move yourself to where the other
person was sitting and attempt to repeat (again in your own mind) what
they said in a means to feel what they might be feeling during that
conversation. Finally, you take yourself out of the conversation and
repeat the whole thing as an onlooker – assessing the conversation
from a neutral position and gauging feelings, thoughts, and responses
Bulletin 37 (2) 2018 HLG Nursing
55 HLG Nursing Bulletin
before offering yourself (as you were at that point in time) some advice
or feedback as to what went well or what you should have done. A truly
powerful tool for exploring difficult conversations and reflecting on what
the other person involved in that conversation may have been thinking or
the position from which they were coming from.
We also did a listening exercise – Claire read a story and asked
questions at the end to see how well we listened. Quite a few of us were
caught out and misinterpreted what was said to mean something else!
For instance, as this was a fairy-tale type story, some of us assumed
that the witch was old even though age was not mentioned; or that the
princess was beautiful when she wasn’t described as such. This led
onto a discussion about “weasel words” which can be used innocently
and interpreted negatively – words like: but, hopefully, don’t, can’t , try,
and difficult. Most of the time these can be harmlessly replaced (e.g. try
using and instead of but) or avoid them (e.g. instead of “don’t run” say
“walk”).
In February our project group met in Manchester for an Action Learning
Set. We both presented for the first time and we found it so helpful to be
able to explore our thoughts in a safe space whilst being challenged by
our peers to think about issues in a way in which we may not have done
so previously. We seemed to find it easier this time, things moved quite
smoothly, and by the end of the day everyone who hadn’t presented
before had done so. If you would like to read more about Action
Learning Sets then do read Jo Walley’s article “using action learning
sets to support professional development” in the May 2017 edition of
CILIP’s Update.
Bulletin 37 (2) 2018 HLG Nursing
56 HLG Nursing Bulletin
This course also has an online element to it so outside of our face to
face meetings we are also exploring such things as leadership theories
and networking skills, not forgetting to mention that we also have a year-
long project to complete. We are both involved in the statistics group
along with Holly Case Wyatt, Dawn Grundy, Kal Dhanda, and Catherine
McLaren. The project group are currently out and about carrying out
focus groups and a survey will shortly be released to find out what LKS
staff think about the statistics they collect. Do keep an eye out as there
will be opportunities for those interested to become statistics champions
and support the work of this group by offering feedback on the potential
toolkit all this information will feed in to. The statistics team are providing
an update on the project at the June HLG conference at Keele
University. This may include any results we've had from various focus
groups and surveys as well as possibly a first glance at the potential
toolkit, while the UKMedLibs Twitter chat on 17 April 2018 will cover the
work done.

Health Literacy – why attend a conference?
The Public and Mobile Libraries Group and Health Libraries Group of
CILIP had collaboratively presented a conference on health literacy and
partnership working in August last year in Richmond, Surrey.
Organising this conference in Oldham presented an opportunity for more
library staff to be involved in this learning exchange. Our NHS Support
team at Imperial College has been exploring ways of working with public
libraries and patient-facing bodies to support health literacy and promote
quality health information. Additionally, as a health librarian I work with
NHS staff who provide health information directly to patients. This
conference was therefore relevant and timely. By attending I hoped to
discover possible ways our library could help support health literacy and
the promotion quality health information in the public sphere. Secondly, I
Bulletin 37 (2) 2018 HLG Nursing
58 HLG Nursing Bulletin
wanted to find out what public librarians might need from health
librarians.
The government states that ‘Health literacy refers to people having the
appropriate skills, knowledge, understanding and confidence to access,
understand, evaluate, use and navigate health and social care
information and services’.1 Evidence shows that high quality health
information is has a positive impact on public interactions and
experiences with health services, and that providing access to that
information is crucial.2 This is not only important for individual wellbeing,
but also has an impact on the ways of working of NHS staff, and the
provision of health care services and resources. In England, 42% of
working-age adults are unable to understand and make use of everyday
health information, rising to 61% when numeracy skills are also required
for comprehension.3 People with limited health literacy are more likely to
need the intervention of emergency services, and are less likely to
engage with healthy lifestyle behaviours which in turn can mean poorer
health and premature death. Conversely, improved health literacy can
empower people and increase health knowledge and build resilience,
encourage positive lifestyle changes, enable people to effectively
manage long-term health conditions with fewer interventions and reduce
the burden on health and social care services.4 Yet producing
information and providing access alone is often not sufficient - skills and

support are required to identify quality health information and how best
to access such. Librarians are ideally equipped to facilitate these.
Conference presentations
Deena Maggs from the King’s Fund introduced the King’s Fund free
Enquiry Service and the resources they use to answer questions from
patients and the public. I arrived towards the end of the presentation
due to train times, but found several points Deena made interesting.
Firstly she highlighted the Ideas Bank on the Knowledge for Healthcare
website.5 This gives case studies, examples of public/ patient
interventions and training that health librarians can be involved in. For
our particular service, which is not patient/ public facing, many of these
ideas would not be relevant but I can see they would be extremely
valuable with health librarians who are public/ patient facing. Our focus
is supporting those who are public/ patient facing and we are looking at
ways we can pass on these ideas and skills to public librarians as well
as NHS staff. My learning from Deena’s presentation included:
Full Facts website. This was new to me, and has a wide range of
information which both healthcare workers and the public can
access on items in discussion in our society today including NHS
pay, obesity related illness and A&E performance.6
Terminology and synonyms different people might use to mean the
same thing (eg. clinicians, the voluntary sector and patients). Also
being aware of our own language – is it clear for the enquirer?
What terms are best understood by specific kinds enquirers?

Bulletin 37 (2) 2018 HLG Nursing
60 HLG Nursing Bulletin
Building relationships with potential enquirers/ enquirers to help
answer enquiries but also to demonstrate that we have the skills
and resources to answer future enquiries and engage in ongoing
information dialogue.
Rachel Gledhill from Public Health England emphasised the need for
cross-sector partnerships in order to cascade health literacy skills,
knowledge and resources. Although many people will ‘Google’ a health
question, as the internet has no quality standard, there is a danger of
information on there being inaccurate and unreliable, and incorrect
information leading to poor health related decisions. Librarians have the
skills and knowledge to help people find and access quality, relevant
health information, and also provide training so others can cascade
health literacy. Rachel signposted a range of resources for librarians to
use with the public, including:
NHS Choices7 and NHS Choices Toolkit with its range of apps
including a blood pressure checker, myth buster, and drinks
checker8
Healthtalk9 – providing reliable health information for a patient
perspective. There are also a range of patient experience videos
on a vast array of health issues which are can be useful for people
who can find accessing text on health information challenging due

Bulletin 37 (2) 2018 HLG Nursing

to literacy or language issues, dyslexia or visual impairment for
example.
PubMed Health10 – a free resource but I, and the two librarians
sitting by me, felt that this would need more support for many
users to access and understand, compared to NHS Choices for
example.
The second part of Rachel’s presentation was on quality tools and
techniques. Since Rachel’s signposting I have found out more about to
the Information Standard11. I also came away thinking about how to
encapsulate and reword both the questions used by Discern quality
criteria12 and the work by Silberg et al on assessing quality in health
information13 to make it more user friendly for our library users and for
training others.
Starting off the afternoon’s presentations was Dan Livesey from Greater
Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust. He gave a fascinating
presentation on innovative work his library service and the public library
service have worked together and supported health information
provision. This included the resources created as part the Recovery
Academy course for patients and a new suite of patient information
leaflets which could be used in public libraries as well as health libraries,
all produced to the Information Standard, with patient involvement and

Mustacchio, ‘Assessing, controlling and assuring the quality of medical information on the internet: Caveant lector et viewor – Let the reader and viewer beware’, JAMA, no.15 (1997), pp.1244 – 5.

feedback. The level of patient usage of the library services was notable
and for services which are patient facing there was much to learn. For
our service there was less we could use but then again as we are
supporting those who are patient facing there are suggestions for
building relationships and opportunities to improve patient understanding
and interaction with health information. Our service is currently working
on a leaflet to be produced by our library service on health information
for patients which could potentially be used by public librarians and
patient-facing bodies.
The Society of Chief Librarians Universal Health Offer was then
described.14 Now is an excellent time to look at health information and
health literacy collaboration between public and health librarians, with
the Universal Health Offer being embedded into public library practice,
the opportunities provided through agendas from Health Education
England, the Reading Agency and others, as well as evidence of real
need in society to impact positively on people’s health through health
literacy provision. Knowledge for Healthcare has a suite of resources for
developing local partnerships regarding public and patient information.15
Finally there was a showcase of initiatives created by libraries under the
Engaging Libraries programme16 This programme was new to me. The
programme is a partnership between the Wellcome Trust and Carnegie
UK Trust, and was created as a result of work done between the
Wellcome Trust and the Society of Chief Librarians. The programme
offers support and guidance as well as funding for health and wellbeing

themed projects in public libraries, with an ongoing commitment to share
the outcomes and the experience more widely. I particularly wished I
could have attended Comics and Cosplay event at Oldham Libraries!
The examples showcased inspired me to consider potential for health
libraries to engage with public libraries more on similar projects, to
support the training and information needs of public librarians creating
health and wellbeing events if required, even if their own services are
not public-facing.
Learning and conclusions
Overall this conference furthered my knowledge of the health literacy
landscape, and about how health libraries and public libraries have and
can work in together with regard to this. I discovered new information
about ways other health libraries work which expanded my
understanding. I was able to find out about resources and initiatives
which I could bring back to my service. I encountered and appreciated
public libraries’ role in health information anew, and found out about
projects I had not heard of in health and wellbeing in that sector. I have
thought about health literacy in a much broader and creative way since
the conference. Finding out what public librarians might need from
health librarians was not obviously answered during the conference.
Some inference was gained from the afternoon presentations but if there
was one thing I would have liked to have done would have been a
chance to ask public librarians what they wanted from health librarians –
although I chatted in the breaks to other librarians only one was from a
public library service.
Bulletin 37 (2) 2018 HLG Nursing
64 HLG Nursing Bulletin
Unlike most of the participants, the library service I work for is not public-
facing so some of the initiatives discussed, and also signposted to, are
not directly comparable to our work. However, that does not mean to
say that we cannot be involved in supporting services and staff who are
public-facing. Our role would be different, and ideas and learning can be
reworked to be useful to our library users, and the relationships we could
develop with public-facing staff and organisations, including public
libraries. Since the conference we have reached out to local public
libraries and also to the Patient Advice and Liaison Service, to find out
how they are working with health information and health literacy, and to
see how we could support this work.
There has never been a time where there has been such a real need for
health literacy and health information support. Whatever kind of health
library we work in, I think there is the potential to work to support public
and patient information needs and health literacy. Thank you CILIP
PMLG and HLG for arranging the conference. I hope as services, skills
and resources develop there will be more events on this important
subject.

We are very excited to share the programme for the CILIP Health Libraries
Group Conference 2018. Always a programme at the forefront of current
thinking, many delegates remark each year that they learn more best
practice in two days at the conference than they do in a whole year behind
their desks.
2018 looks to be our best yet, with more delegate registrations than ever
before and an exhibition hall that sold out with months to go. With exciting
additions to the agenda such as knowledge cafés and a full health and
wellbeing agenda including running and Tai Chi, the programme is also
stuffed full with interactive sessions allowing you to get to the heart of your
issues and do your job smarter.
On the main agenda, CILIP’s CEO Nick Poole will welcome you to the
conference, along with Dr Mark Murphy, GP and Lecturer in the
Department of General Practice in the Royal College of Surgeons, Ireland,
who will discuss his work in encouraging clinicians to source evidence-
based material and share decisions with patients. On Day Two, Louise
Goswami and Sue Lacey Bryant from Health Education England will
discuss their goal to implement Knowledge for Healthcare, bringing its
ambitious vision to reality to support #AmillionDecisions across the health
service. Rachel Heydecker and Andy Wright from Carnegie UK Trust will
Bulletin 37 (2) 2018 HLG Nursing
66 HLG Nursing Bulletin
then discuss how to engage the public in your libraries and inspiring them
about health and wellbeing.
The main themes of the programme are:

Cyril Barnard Memorial Prize
Medical librarianship is a fairly small, niche specialty, with no great
ceremonies to honour those that have done exceptional work, and have
made great contributions to the field. But, there are awards made, and
one that Health Libraries Group takes great pride in bestowing is the
Cyril Barnard Memorial Prize.
Cyril Barnard (1894-1959) had, for many years, served as the librarian of
the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, where he devised
the Barnard system of classification, as well as being one of the
founders, and first chair of, the Medical Section of the Library
Association in 1947. (Poynter, 1959) Following his death in a road
accident in 1959 (Thornton, 1984), it was suggested that an award be
set up in his name to commemorate his life and work. Initial suggestions
were that the award be presented annually, but it was eventually
decided that it should be made every three years, with a fund to set up
the cost of the award.(Hipkins, 1959) The formal announcement came in
July 1960, stating that the first presentation, for ‘outstanding contribution
to medical librarianship’, would be in 1962.(Thornton, 1984)
The first recipient of the award was William J. Bishop in 1962. This was
awarded posthumously following his death in 1961.(Brodman, 1961) The
award was presented at that year’s annual Medical Section Dinner in the
form of an engraved silver salver.(Thornton, 1984) The tradition of
making the presentation at a formal dinner continued until 1977, which
was also the final year that a salver was presented.(Thornton, 1984)

The prize continues to be awarded, with the most recent recipient being
Anne Brice from Public Health England in 2014.(Brice & Grant, 2014)

Table 1: Recipients of the Cyril Barnard Memorial Prize
However, no award was made in 2017, as the Health Libraries Group,
the current successor to the Medical Section, has decided to amend the
period between awards from three to two years, allowing the
presentation to coincide with the biannual Health Libraries Group
conference. To that end, the HLG Committee is inviting nominations for
the 2018 Cyril Barnard Memorial Prize. Nominations can be made using
the online nominations form, and should be received by 30th April 2018.

Current Awareness
Within our profession, we’re always emphasising to our users the
importance of maintaining their current awareness of what is going on.
And that is no less true for us, so here we present a small sample of
recent articles that have caught our eyes. Of course, being a small
sample, there is much more out there. So, if you do see something that
you think has been of use to you, and would be of use to all of us, let us
know and we’ll include it in subsequent issues. Whether it’s a journal
article, web page, tweetchat or any other type of media, don’t keep it to
yourself. You can find our contact details on the HLG website at
