Note for 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. Read the
evaluation report of the pilot.
What will FOLIO look like?
a.. The FOLIO programme will build on lessons learned during the pilot.
The programme will comprise 12 modules delivered over 2 years. There will be
40 places available on each module.
Who is involved?
a.. FOLIO will be delivered by a team based at ScHARR, University of
Sheffield. It is commissioned by the National electronic Library for Health.
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.
