The Medical Information Working Party (MIWP) is pleased to announce that
from early 2005, it will become part of the CILIP Health Libraries Group
(HLG). To reflect the change, the MIWP will also be renamed as the Health
Information Working Party (HIWP).
The MIWP was originally formed in 1984 to provide a forum for the exchange
of views between medical booksellers, librarians, publishers and
subscription agents. In recent years, however, it has proved difficult to
act as a forum and, latterly, its work has concentrated on the compilation
and production of the "Core Collection of Medical Books and Journals".
Work on the "Core Collection" will continue as part of the remit of the
Membership and Publicity Panel of HLG, with plans to launch a new edition in
2005. Working within the larger HLG structure will allow the working party
to draw on the larger community of experience and expertise among HLG
members.
