The use of group reflection to evaluate projects: using the knowledge we have to create seas of change
Many health information professionals are involved with projects in the workplace, ranging from small in-house Departmental projects to large collaborative projects that cut across departments or organisations. This workshop looks at the use of reflective techniques in the project evaluation process. Although this involves individual reflection, the workshop focuses on the use of group reflection in the project evaluation process. It considers the different perspectives of the project lead and other project team members. The workshop will cover:

The use of individual and group reflection as an evaluation tool throughout the different stages of a project.
· Reflection as an evaluative tool.
· Encouraging reflection.
· Reflective thinking.
· Reflective writing.
· Analysing reflective writing.

Emerging technologies and tools

Exploration of relevant user environments, the use of new web-based technologies with Web 2.0 elements and a more structural, technical re-design of library information systems, is needed to deliver library services and resources at the place of need.
In the next few years, the further development of social, educational and research networks, semantic search techniques, mobile and online personal tools, will be dictating how users will look and search for information.

The future success of medical libraries depends on the level of understanding and embracing the relevant emerging technologies.

This course will look at Web 2.0 and beyond: the mobile library, virtualization, mash-ups, collaborative tools, social networks & new search technologies. A part of the course will focus on the issue of the accessibility of new technologies within your organisation.
