UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs Good evening everyone. Welcome to #ukmedlibs journal club. Please tweet an introduction. It’s @tomroper here at the controls, Clinical Librarian at @BrightonSx_LKS | |
UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs Tonight we look at a paper from @JrnlMedLibAssn, which you can find online at https://t.co/UWrwjNcTpb #ukmedlibs | |
UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs Full citation: Harrow A, Marks LA, Schneider D, Lyubechansky A, Aaronson E, Kysh L, Harrington M. Hospital library closures and consolidations: a case series. J Med Libr Assoc. 2019 Apr;107(2):129-136. doi: 10.5195/jmla.2019.520. #ukmedlibs | |
UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs @scaredycait Welcome! All modes of participation are valid at #ukmedlibs | |
UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs So, first impressions. What did you make of the paper? #ukmedlibs. We have some questions at https://t.co/Akgz7ED7XI which may focus the discussion | |
UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs @gshlibrarian One of the authors! #ukmedlibs. We’re honoured. Thanks for taking the time to join us | |
UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs So #ukmedlibs, what do you think are the factors leading to closures and mergers? | |
UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs Either as described in the paper, or more generally #ukmedlibs | |
UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs @samanthaclare That certainly comes out of most, if not all, of the case studies #ukmedlibs | |
UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs @gshlibrarian Interesting. Can you explain the challenges a little? #ukmedlibs | |
UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs Reading the paper, though, I was struck by the way the US system seems to make the situation more complex and threatening #ukmedlibs | |
UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs @gshlibrarian This was perhaps once the case here too. For example one would often find dedicated PCs in hospital libraries for the exclusive use of university staff/students #ukmedlibs | |
UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs @gshlibrarian We seem to have made some progress towards equity of access #ukmedlibs | |
UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs We seem to have moved on to Q2, which is about equity of access #ukmedlibs So carry on! Don’t forget the hashtag, by the way, or your insights won’t make it to the transcript or be seen by others | |
Sue Lacey Bryant FCLIP @SueLaceybryant It is the expertise of the staff of libraries & knowledge specialists which make a positive impact #ukmedlibs Same trend in every sector of the information profession; employers are looking for actionable evidence for decision making as well as education and lifelong learning | |
UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs RT @SueLaceybryant: It is the expertise of the staff of libraries & knowledge specialists which make a positive impact #ukmedlibs Same trend in every sector of the information profession; employers are looking for actionable evidence for decision making as well as education and lifelong learning | |
Sue Lacey Bryant FCLIP @SueLaceybryant We want to release time for library/knowledge services staff to do what we do better & faster. Surely services may be able to work more effectively over a geography:streamline, automate, all that good stuff In order to release capacity to work with teams | |
UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs #ukmedlibs @gshlibrarian tells us that one of their priorities in the US is data collection. What about us? Do we understand the trends? (Q3, paraphrased) | |
Sue Lacey Bryant FCLIP @SueLaceybryant And really reach out and make this e content work much harder. Really appreciate that people are really trying to come together to build common promotional materials #ukmedlibs | |
UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs As well as the data collection that Knowledge for Healthcare do, CILIP has done a lot on workforce, etc. But it’s not always easy to find #ukmedlibs | |
Sue Lacey Bryant FCLIP @SueLaceybryant Make sure we share the impact of the work https://t.co/qZwZDSVPTH. #ukmedlibs | |
UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs I’m going to move us on through the questions, to keep us to time. Q4: this surprised me: The discussion mentions public librarians as “a threat or as collaborators”. #ukmedlibs | |
UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs Here public libraries have borne the brunt of cuts, closures and deskilling #ukmedlibs So hard to see them as a threat. And we’re doing a lot of work with them on patient and public information | |
Sue Lacey Bryant FCLIP @SueLaceybryant Health librarians in every place, every lift and car park, need to proudly have stories up their sleeve. And share their data. Data on the bottom line of impact - everything from reductions in length of stay, to length of surgical stocking, ,and certainly productivity & cost. | |
Sue Lacey Bryant FCLIP @SueLaceybryant More than insurance. Our rationale. Our raison d’etre. Why we are business critical. Our Why. #ukmedlibs | |
UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs Q5 #ukmedlibs I was struck by the complexity - I might even say anarchy of the US system. Do we think the NHS helps us? National approach? | |
Sue Lacey Bryant FCLIP @SueLaceybryant Worth a look. For instance https://t.co/HfQPbgYfRY #ukmedlibs | |
UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs Once more, with hashtag #ukmedlibs Q6: And we have @CILIPHLG and the parent body @CILIPinfo: do we think they have roles to play? | |
Andrea Harrow @gshlibrarian @UKMedLibs Sad to hear that. Public libraries are sanctuary #medlibs #ukmedlibs | |
UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs We run #ukmedlibs for an hour. So I’m going to throw the last question in, Q7: What have we learnt from the paper that might be applicable to a British setting? | |
UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs How can we safeguard access to the knowledge base of health care for NHS staff, patients and the public? #ukmedlibs | |
Sue Lacey Bryant FCLIP @SueLaceybryant What works for me is to keep patients at the centre & all the good work being done across NHS funded libraries. This is a knowledge industry. When we make the case it’s about what 21st health services need & our skills & expertise can bring. #ukmedlibs | |
UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs Some great contributions tonight #ukmedlibs | |
UKMedLibs @UKMedLibs Thanks a lot for your contributions. The transcript will capture any tweets up to 9:15 pm, so by all means keep talking. The transcript and analytics will go up tomorrow. Special thanks to @gshlibrarian for joining us. #ukmedlibs | |

Sue Lacey Bryant FCLIP @SueLaceybryant #AMillionDecisions remains a keg joint initiative between @NHS_HealthEdEng & @CILIPinfo Ever important to keep it fresh https://t.co/PloPdPZ1ej | |
Sue Lacey Bryant FCLIP @SueLaceybryant Exactly where we are going with the new Outcones framework https://t.co/mBWC4wSb7J+ | |
