Further information:
What is FOLIO?
a.. FOLIO is a programme of online learning for health librarians.
FOLIO forms part of the NeLH Librarian Development Programme
which was established to provide support for librarians moving into
new roles, focusing on the development of skills in health
informatics and knowledge management, especially related to
digital libraries.
Why online learning?
a.. FOLIO was set up because librarians often find it difficult to get
away from the workplace to attend training, whether because of staff
shortages, limited budgets, travel time or other difficulties.
How has FOLIO come about?
a.. FOLIO was introduced as a pilot during Spring 2003, to deliver
online training to librarians at a time and place convenient to them.
What will FOLIO look like?
a.. The FOLIO programme will build on lessons learned during the
pilot. Read the evaluation for the pilot report at:
http://www.nelh.nhs.uk/folio/folio%20pilot%20report.doc.
The FOLIO programme will comprise 12 modules delivered over 2
years. There will be approximately 40 places available on each
module.
Who is involved?
a.. FOLIO is delivered by a team based at ScHARR, University of
Sheffield. It is commissioned by the National electronic Library for
Health (NeLH).
b.. The FOLIO Curriculum Group will plan the syllabus. The group
includes representatives from the CILIP Health Libraries Group and
the LKDN Workforce Development Group; an e-learning expert; a
graduate of the FOLIO pilot; as well as the suppliers and
commissioners. The group will be informed by a training needs
analysis completed in Autumn 2003.
