ABOUT
EMPOWERMENT
For
the first time an EAHIL conference will feature 2 Empowerment
sessions in addition to parallel sessions. This idea was formed
by Eva Alopaeus (Sweden) and Patricia Flor (Norway) as an opportunity
for participants to discuss, in depth, certain topics in an
interactive environment.
What
is an empowerment session?
The purpose of an empowerment session is to give an overview
for participants with different levels of experience with the
topic in question. An empowerment session can be in the form
of a continuing education course, a lecture, or a mixture of
these presentation forms. It will be practical rather than theoretical
in nature. There will be altogether 6 empowerment sessions on
different subjects, relevant and current for all medical librarians.
The facilitators are all well known names in EAHIL with excellent
experience in their chosen subjects.
Empowerment
Session 1 : Thursday September
14, 10.30 – 11.30 am
Session A
 |
Establishing
an Institutional Repository: A Step by Step Approach
Arne Jakobsson, University of Oslo Library. Library of Medicine
and Health Sciences.
E-mail: p.a.jakobsson@ub.uio.no |
Libraries are today engaged in
the creation and dissemination of knowledge. Our role has changed
from a manager of scholarly products to that of a participant
in the scholarly communication process. By setting up, promoting
and managing institutional repositories, libraries have created
a stable location where scientific information produced by the
institute can be preserved and disseminated. The institutional
repositories are OAI-compliant. OAI-PMH (Open Archives Initiative
- Protocol for Metadata Harvesting) defines a mechanism for
data providers to expose their metadata. Service Providers use
metadata harvested via the OAI-PMH as a basis for building value-added
services. The challenge in setting up an institutional repository
is not a technological issue (although the problems of long-term
preservation are very far from being solved), but consists of
managerial, organizational and cultural issues. This session
will focus on the managerial, organizational and cultural issues.
In addition to the step by step approach, DUO – the e-print
repository for the University of Oslo and NORA (Norwegian Open
Research Archives) a national gateway for institutional repositories
in Norway will be presented.
Biography
Arne Jakobsson has, since 1 May 1999, been the Library Director
for the University of Oslo Library, Library of Medicine and
Health Sciences. He is project leader for DUO (www.duo.uio.no)
– the institutional repository at the University of Oslo
and for NORA – Norwegian Open Research Archives (www.ub.uio.no/nora/).
He is currently President of EAHIL (European Association for
Health Information and Libraries) (www.eahil.net).

Use
of Weblogs by Libraries and Librarians
Oliver Obst, Zweigbibliothek Medizin, Universitäts-
und Landesbibliothek, MÜNSTER, Germany
E- Mail : obsto@uni-muenster.de |
Abstract
To be well informed and always up to date, you have to read
blogs and subscribe to RSS feeds in these days - especially
if you are an information specialist. This session will empower
you to start a weblog by your own. You learn about the many
ways weblogs could be used. We will take a tour through a number
of sucessful weblogs of libraries and librarians and look at
the differences. Weblogs can be used for your personal thoughts
or as a library homepage - there are endless and exciting possibilities
to integrate this tool into your daily live. We will discuss
the benefits of "blogging" - e.g. marketing, customer
relationship, reputation, visibility, community building.
Biography
Oliver Obst started his career as a researcher in cardiovascular
medicine before being attracted by library science. Currently
he is the head of the Central Medical Library of the University
and Regional Library Munster, Germany. He founded the Journal
"medicine, library, information" and for 13 years
he has initiated homepages, mailing lists, and weblogs related
to medical librarianship and also holds workshops in this domain.

Accreditation
and Professional Development
Suzanne
Bakker (Netherlands) and Helen Bouzkova, (Czech Republic) |
Accreditation and Professional Development
Many parties might be involved (and could be called “stakeholders”) in the accreditation process of medical information professionals. EAHIL has noted a growing interest (both national and on a European level) and probably a need for professional accreditation in general, and also in the field of medical information professionals. EAHIL aims to organize the accreditation structure for medical librarians and information professionals in the medical, health, pharmaceutical and veterinary field (see also McSean & Salmi, JEAHIL 2005;1(2):14-15). In this respect the Bologna harmonizing project of education and the CERTIdoc initiative are important to establish the framework.
Criteria for accreditation must be set and acknowledged by stakeholders: e.g., we all would like to see our employers to appreciate our level of skills and knowledge and to show this in suitable job descriptions and payment. Health insurance companies must be convinced of the impact on the quality of patient care of information services, and governments as well should be aware of the need of these services for the quality of medical education and practice.
Where to start an accreditation process?
During this empowerment session we will discuss the possible roles and responsibilities of: individual healh information professionals, (national / medical) library associations and EAHIL.
Furthermore we will map the context of health librarianship and the developments that are important for the accreditation process, such as: international developments in health librarianship, developments in medicine (e.g. EBM), standards and accreditation systems for library education and courses, and cooperation with already existing accrediting bodies.
Depending on the (national) circumstances it could be wise to seek alliances with:
- medical professional bodies (quality of care)
- trade unions (employee organizations)
- employers (for appropriate job requirements, job descriptions, salaries and facilities for professional development)
- patient organizations (quality of care and patient information)
The course leaders will illustrate this by presenting examples from their home countries in this respect:
- for the Czech Republic:
- benchmarking projects and the leading role of the National Medical Library
- indicators for skills and knowledge of library staff
- European guidelines for education
- for the Netherlands:
-educational needs
-continuing education courses
-clinical librarianship
Biographies:
Helena Bouzkova began her professional career as an information specialist in medical libraries in Hradec Kralové and Prague. She has been working as the Director of the National Medical Library in Prague since 1998. Her professional activities comprise participation in library associations and institutions and also in the organization of medical library cooperation in the Czech Republic in the area of quality evaluation of activities of public libraries, including the problems of professional education of medical librarians. She is a member of the EAHIL Board. e-mail: bouzkova@nlk.cz
Suzanne Bakker has been Library Director since 1984 of the medical libraries of the University of Nijmegen, the University of Amsterdam and since 1998 of the Netherlands Cancer Institute. She is an active member of the biomedical information group (BMI) of the Dutch Library Association (NVB), as Editor of the newsletter Biomeditaties and as Chair of the Continuing Education committee (see also: http://www.nvbonline.nl/bmi).

A
User-Friendly Approach to Becoming an Evidence Based Practitioner
Anne
Brice, Acting Head of Service, National Library for Health,
England
E-mail: anne.brice@dphpc.ox.ac.uk |
Abstract
What does evidence based practice mean? Are we doing it already?
How can we use some simple tools and techniques to improve our
use of research?
These and other questions will be covered in this brief introduction
to evidence-based practice, drawing on examples takenfrom practical
experience. Evidence-based practice involves applying the results
from research to our day-to-day practice as information staff,
in order to improve the service we provide our users. This topic
should be of interest to all information professionals, whether
new or established, and working in all areas and the session
will focus on providing some simple techniques that anyone can
apply. The session will also include some interaction from the
audience to prevent boredom and encourage collaboration!

The
Hunt for the Perfect Interface in a Googlified World
Lars
Iselid, Librarian at the Umeå university Library,
Sweden.
E-mail: lars.iselid@ub.umu.se |
Abstract
Search engines as search tools are common everyday tools among
library users today, at least in the industrial world. Google
especially, whose remarkable success has made the verb googling
a common buzzword, has set the standard for searching. Its clean-cut
interface and search solutions have today a great impact on
people’s information seeking behaviour. What should libraries
think about when building or buying interfaces in today’s
googlified world? How should libraries reach a perfect interface
for their patrons? Is a perfect interface a possibility or just
a utopian dream? Why have libraries in the digital world left
the power of the interfaces to Google and other vendors, which
they did not do earlier in the printed world?
Biography
Lars Iselid is the co-founder of the search engine blog Internetbrus.com.
He is the co-author of a Swedish textbook on searching the Internet
and also a freelancing journalist for Swedish library and computer
magazines.

An
Introduction to Consumer Health Informatics and New Methods
of Delivering Information to Patients
Bruce Madge, Sub Librarian, British Medical Association.
E-mail: bruce.madge@bma.org.uk
Professor Alan Gillies, Professor of Information Management,
University of Central Lancashire.
E-mail: acgillies@uclan.ac.uk |
Abstract
This empowerment session will introduce delegates to the principles
of consumer health informatics and some of the more useful websites
that make information accessible to patients. We will also look
at some new technologies that will help patients access relevant
and useful information about their own conditions and treatments.
Biographies
Bruce Madge is a librarian with 30 years experience in the health
sector. He has worked in the area of health informatics for
a number of years and due to this, is currently serving on the
Council of UKCHIP. Before coming to his current post at the
BMA Library, he was employed as Assistant Director for Patient
Information at the newly established National Patient Safety
Agency. In 1995 he was appointed as Head of Healthcare Information
at the British Library where he had a national profile and managed
a number of projects. He has also worked in NHS Libraries for
a number of years. He is currently Chair of the Health and Biosciences
Libraries Committee of IFLA and a member of EAHIL Council.
Alan
Gillies has been Professor of Information Management at the
University of Central Lancashire since 1994. His PhD, probably
the first to be awarded by the University of Central Lancashire
in 1992, was in problem solving methodology using knowledge
based systems. After nearly five years at Salford University
in what is now the ISI, he returned to Preston, and in 1998
joined the newly formed Lancs. Postgrad. School of Medicine
and Health. In 2001 was awarded Doctor Honoris Causa by the
University of Medicine and Pharmacy in Cluj Napoca. Alan is
