Subject: Health Library Week



There will be no Health Libraries Week this year.

It has been decided that we need to gather the evidence that the current activities in HLW are effective (or not) in getting to NLH users, and that we should separate out the two areas of advocacy (i.e. NLH responsibility for championing role of librarians etc, with CILIP, HLG etc) and marketing/publicity (i.e. working on campaigns to increase usage through SLs, stakeholder events, local campaigns etc). Other issues have been the capacity of the central team to organise and manage the event, as well as the current financial situation.

We realise this may be disappointing to some library staff. However, we hope that you may be able to raise awareness of the library during Knowledge Weeks and when developments are released such as My Library and the Library Directory.

I will keep you up-dated on what may replace or enhance Health Libraries Week. In the meantime, please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any comments or thoughts.

With regards

Colin
