We’re delighted to bring you this excellent CPD workshop at an equally excellent price.
This custom-made workshop, “The Librarian as Researcher”, will provide healthcare librarians with a practical guide to undertaking research. It will get you well on the way to carrying out your own piece of research, big or small, and provide useful information on supporting research within your organisation. Use the day to identify research partners with similar interests from among your colleagues. The afternoon session, based on a case study by the presenter, comprehensively covers all the key steps in the publishing and dissemination process.
And don’t forget the two big events in Dublin in 2017 (12th International Congress of Medical Librarianship and EAHIL Workshop) – the host nation should be well represented, so now’s the time to get in touch with your inner researcher!
All for the incredible price of €30 – an early Christmas gift from HSLG! We want to make it as easy as possible for everyone to attend.
