I would be very interested in hearing more about this too. We offer current awareness for internal staff as well as a regular service for our customers in oncology, gastroenterology and women's health. Anything to improve our service would be interesting.
I also wonder if anyone is doing current awareness for EBL/health information? I feel that I would like to be able to share this type of information with other EB librarians maybe through a list like this? And it may increase discussion amongst our own development (not just the people we support with our work)?

Subject: FW: [lis-wmnet] Current Awareness Services <-virus checked->
We are going to be piloting a current awareness service in our Trust,
covering more than email alerts of table-of-contents and clinical database
searches.
In an effort to approach this in an "evidence-based/best practice" way, can
we ask whether anyone would be willing to share their practices? For
instance:
Do you include conferences, courses, research projects etc.
Do you highlight papers/books published by Trust employees
Do you circulate details of new acquisitions
How frequently do you supply the information: weekly, monthly....
In what format do you provide the information: paper, email, intranet
Do you provide the service on a departmental or individual basis
How does this impact on staff time
All comments welcome!
Thank you
