The conference will seek to examine the current state of health librarianship in all sectors and to enable delegates to find the right formula for their setting in the future but in order
to do this, we need your help. A conference is only as good as the abstracts submitted to it and so we would encourage you to consider what you could share with the your colleagues to help health librarianship go from strength to strength.
While we would encourage you to submit abstracts on any topic, we are giving 4 suggested strands as a starting point. These strands continue the scientific nature of the main theme but
we want to make clear we are not expecting or insisting on a scientific feel to papers. The strands are:
- Anatomy of evidence-based practice
-
Biology of library and information services
-
Chemistry of collaboration and networking
-
Physics of information technology use
For this conference, we are changing the way that abstracts are to be submitted. Please submit them using the online form that can be found at this URL:

We are also setting a deadline for abstract submissions. That deadline is the
30th November, or when we have received 100 abstracts, whichever is sooner, so please do not leave your submissions until the last day, submit them as soon as possible. All submissions will be acknowledged and we will try inform
everyone of the outcome of their applications by the 31st December.
We have also set up a conference blog (http://hlg2012.blogspot.com)
which also contains details of the other ways that you can keep up-to-date on the latest conference news, and we are intending to make plenty of announcements in the weeks ahead so please use your preferred method to keep yourself informed.
