Evaluating trainingEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Hi allThis week's Training Zone has an interesting article about evaluating training - the whole thing's at http://www.trainingzone.co.uk/cgi-bin/item.cgi?id=143940&d=680&h=608&f=626To summarise, the article talks about Kirkpatrick's 4 levels of evaluation - level 1 being the type of "happy sheet" that's often given out at the end of a session to see how satisfied people are with the session. It goes on to say:"Whenever I am involved in an evaluation project, I advocate getting rid of the smile sheet completely, and replacing that tortured questionnaire with one closed question, plus an open follow-up to encourage ...

For Health Libraries Week this year, we’re planning a national media campaign to complement the local awareness-raising campaigns that you undertake within your organisations. We’re able to make use of the NHS Connecting for Health Media Relations team, who have suggested that the best way to sell a story to the media is to use case studies that demonstrate how library services (both electronic and physical) are used by frontline staff, and are ultimately benefiting patients.We will use case studies in our communications materials including newsletters, leaflets, web copy, articles and some media relations activity. We...

Pubmed, RSS and CASEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The other day at Wrightington I offered my utopian vision of CAS services at a meeting of the LIHNN eResources network, subject specific material from selected journals or direct to full text. Pubmed offers us the ability to do this now. I have three test feeds out with a critical friend right now so I'll let you know how it goes. Key issues so far:Time to identify full text in MyNCBI, not a task to be taken lightly does take a while and is the capital city of Dullsville. Just think of the end result. Search strategies have to take into account you are really after pre-medline records and therefore title words are the key....

Get ready for Health Libraries WeekEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Following feedback from librarians, it has been decided to re-run Health Libraries Week this Autumn, from 14-18 November. Like last year, the campaign will be a mix of locally and nationally organised events and activities. Within NLH, we're starting to produce a range of general purpose and more specific promotional materials (based on ideas sent in to us). Feedback from earlier campaigns suggest that the most difficult aspect of promotion is being able to talk to the most influential people, so we are running a series of "Assertive Communication" workshops around the country during July and September. The programme is ye...

NLH Promotional MaterialsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Hello allWe've had several requests recently for NLH promotional materials, so I thought I should let you know the situation.Stock levels are very low at the moment, for a number of reasons, not least of which is that our budget was frozen while we transferred from the NHSIA to NHS Connecting for Health. We're now at the stage of being able to design, commission and re-order materials, although the new processes for the new organisation mean that this may take a little longer. Our plan is to re-order some items quickly, but to concentrate on getting stocks of materials in place over the summer, in time for Health Libraries...
