Apologies for cross-posting again - my earlier email seems to have got
scrambled.
For information, the following post is currently being advertised, with a
closing date of 23 March 2010:
Information Specialist, NHS Evidence Specialist Collection for Neurological
Conditions
£29,797 - £39,516 pro rata
Fixed term to the end of March 2011 in the first instance.
Based at the Royal Free Hospital Medical Library, this project role involves
assisting the Knowledge Resources Librarian to develop and deliver
Information Specialist support to the NHS Evidence Specialist Collection for
Neurological Conditions (see www.library.nhs.uk/neurological). In addition,
you will help to develop and expand information services delivered locally
from the Medical Library; you will contribute especially to a well developed
outreach and information skills training programme and clinical
effectiveness enquiry service.
You will be a professionally qualified graduate librarian with up-to-date
experience in the provision of health and medical library and information
services. You will have advanced skills in finding, evaluating and using
information, both printed and electronic, including proven experience of

understanding of the information needs of NHS clinical staff. Excellent IT,
written and oral communication skills, including skills in giving

of colleagues and customers are all essential for this role. Experience of
delivering information skills training in a healthcare or university setting
and of using personal bibliographic software would be an advantage.
