Welcome to tonight’s #ukmedlibs chat on information literacy. @tomroper at the controls tonight, Questions at https://t.co/eRJi4pPO4w
UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs
#ukmedlibs But first, do tweet an introduction, and tell us what you do vis-a-vis information literacy
UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs
And remember the hashtag #ukmedlibs or your finely chosen words will be lost to posterity
Holly Case Wyatt @Hollingtonn
Hi all! I'm Holly, Outreach Librarian @SASHLibs I think I do the usual librarian stuff to promote info lit #ukmedlibs
UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs
Q1 tonight is this: Information literacy has been described as a key compenent of evidence-based practice. Do we agree? #ukmedlibs
UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs
Welcome, Sam, Ruth, Holly, Lisa…and the lurkers out there #ukmedlibs
Holly Case Wyatt @Hollingtonn
Q1. Yes! Recognition of evidence as a need is information literacy #ukmedlibs
UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs
Q1 And the ability to both locate and appraise that evidence …..? #ukmedlibs
UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs
That being so, what do we think of the levels of information literacy among health professionals? Be frank (but not libellous) #ukmedlibs
UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs
@Lifuinthelib Nicely put #ukmedlibs
Holly Case Wyatt @Hollingtonn
@UKMedLibs It can be good. But I'm always surprised, like being asked how to tell the difference between a book & an article #ukmedlibs
Louise Levitt @LouiseWann
@UKMedLibs Q1 I think they recognise the importance of IL and how it relates to eb practice,but don't always have skills or time #ukmedlibs
Holly Case Wyatt @Hollingtonn
But at least they recognise a gap in knowledge! Plus, new resources like ClinicalKey bring up everything #ukmedlibs
UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs
@RuthCarlyle Interesting, Is that work published? #ukmedlibs
UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs
@RuthCarlyle @samanthaclare We’ll watch with interest #ukmedlibs
Holly Case Wyatt @Hollingtonn
@archelina Not necessarily, they still need to appraise what they've found. And understand when/how they need evidence in the 1st place! #ukmedlibs
UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs
@archelina @Hollingtonn That’s where tools like @tripdatabase seem to be going #ukmedlibs
UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs
How about Q3, new opportunities to teach information literacy? Both new ways, e.g. gamification /new content, e.g. social media #ukmedlibs
Holly Case Wyatt @Hollingtonn
@UKMedLibs @archelina @tripdatabase Especially with resources like UptoDate & DynaMed where the evidence is summarised. I always point out source of info #ukmedlibs
Holly Case Wyatt @Hollingtonn
@RuthCarlyle Danish public libraries have launched a "how to spot fake news" campaign #ukmedlibs
Holly Case Wyatt @Hollingtonn
@archelina @UKMedLibs So true! Can be the same needs, but completely different user group. #ukmedlibs
UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs
#ukmedlibs An aside, how well has SCONUL’s Seven Pillars model stood the test of time. Nearly 20 years old now! https://t.co/5o2izCPbgy
Holly Case Wyatt @Hollingtonn
@RuthCarlyle @archelina @UKMedLibs That would be very useful! #ukmedlibs
UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs
@RuthCarlyle @Hollingtonn @archelina What did you suggest? Lots of tools to assess materials, e.g. DISCERN, less for people #ukmedlibs
UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs
And that steers us towards Q5, about patient and public information literacy: what's our role? #ukmedlibs ( we'll come back to Q4)
Louise Levitt @LouiseWann
@UKMedLibs Q4. Signposting to high quality info? #ukmedlibs
Louise Levitt @LouiseWann
@UKMedLibs Sorry Q5 #ukmedlibs
Holly Case Wyatt @Hollingtonn
RT @RuthCarlyle:
UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs
@RuthCarlyle Some lack of clarity on division of labour between us and public library services?#ukmedlibs
Holly Case Wyatt @Hollingtonn
Q5. Definitely signposting to quality info & supporting clinicians to feel confident to signpost too #ukmedlibs
Holly Case Wyatt @Hollingtonn
Q5. Supporting our public libraries colleagues who are reviving patient info enquiries everyday #ukmedlibs

UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs
We don't have anyone here tonight from the public and patient work stream of KfH, do we? https://t.co/uT4paYF0Pq #ukmedlibs
Holly Case Wyatt @Hollingtonn
@UKMedLibs @RuthCarlyle We can support each other as both sectors have different expertise in this area #ukmedlibs
Holly Case Wyatt @Hollingtonn
@UKMedLibs Yep, me & @RuthCarlyle 😊 #ukmedlibs
Holly Case Wyatt @Hollingtonn
RT @archelina:
UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs
Can I throw in Q6 now, thinking about literacy more widely. Have you been involved in Books on Prescription, Six Book Challenge? #ukmedlibs
MediaLiteracyBot @MediaLitBot
RT @UKMedLibs: How about Q3, new opportunities to teach information literacy? Both new ways, e.g. gamification /new content, e.g. social media #ukmedlibs
Holly Case Wyatt @Hollingtonn
@UKMedLibs 6 Book Challange is more for those with lower literacy levels, so our local public library ran an adult reading challenge #ukmedlibs
UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs
@pipdivall #ukmedlibs A legendary conference. Am I right, they’re keen to have more health contributions? #ukmedlibs
Nicola Kingston @Nicola1642
