Call for Abstracts for HSLG Annual Conference 2024

HSLGLeave a comment

The HSLG will hold our annual conference in the Ashling Hotel, Dublin on Thursday 7th March 2024.

Our theme for 2024 will be “Who’s afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?”. There’s always something that can potentially disrupt our professional work (remember search engines were meant to herald our doom?). We’ve managed to survive, and often thrive, in the face of adversity, but can produce a better response when we work together and plan ahead.

  • What can we do to prepare for the future?
  • What issues should we be talking about?
  • Are potentially scary issues challenges or opportunities?
  • How can we produce a strong, structured approach to practice that will withstand potential assaults?

Sharing our ideas and innovations are one way to become stronger, so we’d also like to hear about any subject that interests you. We would like to invite you to submit an abstract for a presentation on our theme or sub-themes. Subthemes include:

  • artificial intelligence
  • environmental issues
  • library community support
  • CPD
  • workforce challenges
  • censorship

Presentations will be 20 minutes. You can submit your abstract to contacthslg@gmail.com by Friday 19th January 2024. Please include a presentation title, name of presenter(s), organization, and abstract of 300 – 500 words.

HSLG conference 2024

HSLG conference 2024

Join us for the HSLG conference 2024 to be held in the Ashling Hotel, Dublin on 7 March 2024.

The theme is “Who’s afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?”. There’s always something that can potentially disrupt our professional work (remember search engines were meant to herald our doom?). We’ve managed to survive, and often thrive, in the face of adversity, but can produce a better response when we work together and plan ahead.

Sharing our ideas and innovations at this conference is one way to become stronger.

In the library of “Howling Innovation,” the big bad wolf of change is not to be feared but embraced — could it be a companion in the quest for knowledge, a catalyst for evolution, and a muse for the ever-changing melody of progress? Join Dr Lollie Mancey for an exploration of the changing landscape of libraries in an AI world, questioning how we safeguard our core values and functions to ensure that libraries not only survive challenges but thrive in the ever-evolving landscape of information and technology.

Registration is now open

EAHIL 2024

Welcome to the first European Association of Health Information and Libraries (EAHIL) Conference being held in Riga, the capital city of Latvia, from 11th to 14th June 2024.

 

The Conference theme “Small Step and a Giant Leap: Reorienting Towards a New Environment” captures the need for libraries to adapt and thrive in an evolving landscape by embracing both incremental changes and significant advancements. We are excited to announce the conference theme has been carefully crafted to build upon the inspiring ideas of the 2023 theme.

The Conference theme addresses various questions, such as:

  •     How can libraries serve as catalysts for innovation, facilitate interdisciplinary collaborations, and empower users to actively participate in the creation and sharing of knowledge?
  •     How will libraries and librarians support research in their new environment in the foreseeable future?
  •     How can technology be leveraged to support and engage users of health-related information and data?

Let’s contribute and create an environment where libraries are not just repositories of knowledge, but agents of change in the quest for supporting research and innovation!

We look forward to offering you a warm welcome with opportunities for engaging discussion and a chance for librarians and friends from around the world to meet here in Riga!

  •     Abstract submission opens: September 2023
  •     Deadline abstract submission: end October 2023

Kate Kelly: Putting it into Practice: applying the skill set

Kate is Director of Library Services at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI).RCSI is currently building a new academic education centre incorporating a new library and has been recruiting for new positions over the last year. Kate has spent most of her library career in health sciences working in the USA and Ireland. She has an MSc in Health Services Research and is a fellow of the Library Association of Ireland (FLAI) and distinguished member of the US Academy of Health Information Professionals (AHIP).

Abstract

In support of its strategy “Growth and Excellence” RCSI is building a new medical education centre incorporating a new health sciences library. Planning for this building challenged library staff at all levels to consider and reconsider what it is we do, how we do it, and why we do it. What if anything differentiates a health sciences library and health sciences librarians from other libraries? Using RCSI Library as a case study this presentation will share some of the learnings from our benchmarking exercises as prelude to a restructuring and the thinking behind resulting new positions.
