Knowledge Management in NSW Health

• The new Knowledge Gateway is here: http://www.knowledge.health.nsw.gov.au/
• Here is some background reading on Knowledge Management - in general, and in health. This lit review also has links to full text
• The NHS Knowledge Management Specialist Library is also a great resource for information

 

 

CIAP - where does it (and libraries) fit in anymore?

• Now that CIAP is linked with ARCHI under the new Knowledge Management Unit, this is a chance to look at the future; and also check that old issues have been resolved. If you email any issues to Gillian, she can add them here for discussion

 

Clinical Decision Support

 

• An overview can be found here from the UBC (in Canada) Health Library wiki

 

• An interesting commentary on UpToDate has just been posted by The Krafty Librarian on her blog
• Further discussion by Dean Giustini along with quite a few comments

E-journals

 

E-JOURNALS IN HEALTH LIBRARIES: SEVEN KEY ISSUES

 

1. POINT OF ACCESS: ALPHABETICAL LIST OR OPAC OR BOTH?

 

Dow we develop and maintain our in-house e-journal lists and databases or use a commercial e-serials management software? Pros and cons?

2. GETTING PURCHASE ON PURCHASING

 

How do we best purchase on-line journals for health libraries?

Traditional individual library autonomy? Area-based cooperative purchasing? State-wide consortia?

 

Subject-based rationalisation according to institutional programs and clinical plans?

 

Bundling versus focussed individual title acquisition?

 

User-driven or strategic accessions?

 

Paper only, paper plus e-version, e-version only?

 

The cost-effectiveness of Area-wide licensing?

3. CITATION TRACKING

 

What citation-tracking tools are out there? How can we evaluate them?

4. ISSUES WITH REFERENCE-LINKING AND OPEN ACCESS

 

Is reference-linking direct from database citations to full-text articles a useful method of delivering e-content?

 

Is the customisable Full Text option in CIAP viable?

In the future will we retain retrospective print journal archives and for how long?

7. PROMOTING E-JOURNAL LITERACY

 

How do we develop a program for e-journal training and literacy?

 

How do we integrate it with CIAP training, develop e-journal competency in our clients, promote use of ETOCs etc.

 

A Electronic Journal Survey 2004 comparison report benchmarking study by St George & St Vincent's Hospital Libraries highlighted a much needed improvement on e-journal management and access. Statistics were collated and reported by John Holgate, Judy McMahon (STG), Rolf Schafer & Katie McKnight (STV).
