EVIN BADRNIYA ledare i Småandsposten 22 augusti 2021. "Över tjugo procent av alla i Sverige födda utanför Europa bor trångt. Biblioteket är därför en även viktig resurs för att få en studiero. Jag hade syskon som var en bit yngre och låter så som barn gör. Vi bodde i hyresrätt och väggarna var tunna. Även om jag som äldsta barn hade ett eget rum så var biblioteket en viktig bit i att låta mig få ha en maximalt god studiero. Just därför är det så viktigt att bibliotek är lugna, trygga och fridfulla. Därför blev jag väldigt irriterad när det före detta socialdemokratiska kulturborgarrådet i Stockholm Roger Mogert för några år sedan försökte antyda att krav på tystnadsnorm på bibliotek kunde innehålla främlingsfientlighet (SvD 2017). Han kunde inte ha mer fel."
In a single systematic review case study, citation searching was required to identify all included studies. Citation searching on WOS is more efficient, where a subscription is available. Both databases identified the same studies but GS required additional time to remove non-English language studies and locate abstracts.

Critical incident technique is a flexible approach for libraries and information services, based on individuals’ experiences of finding and using information to help resolve a perceived problem. To read the full article, log in using your NHS OpenAthens details.
This editorial discusses the emergence of visual abstracts within journals to disseminate findings. Published alongside Aggarwal's retrospective study reporting that visual abstracts do not increase impact scores more than conventional abstracts of clinical research, it is suggested that visual abstracts may have a greater impact for smaller, specialty journals.

Patient-facing vaccination literature had a Flesch Reading Ease score of 58.4 and a Flesch–Kincaid Grade Level of 8.1, in comparison with poorer readability scores for healthcare professional literature of 30.7 and 12.6, respectively. MMR scientific abstracts had the poorest readability (24.0 and 14.8, respectively). Sentence structure was also considered, where better readability metrics were correlated with significantly lower number of words per sentence and less syllables per word.
This paper outlines recent progress in developing accredited continuing professional development opportunities for NHS knowledge and library specialists with a focus on the development of digital and data skills.
The Health and Care Act 2022 and concurrent reforms to the public health system have introduced a range of changes and some simplifications to the landscape of national bodies in the health and care system.
Here, we explain the core functions of the national bodies with the most significant role in setting policy for and shaping the operation of the health and care system. We also look at how these organisations are held accountable for carrying out those functions and the extent to which central government can direct them.
Samma SD-ledamot som ville stoppa sagostunder föreslår nu att bibliotekets bestånd ska granskas. Är Kalmarpolitikerns åsikter välkomna i debatten eller går han över gränsen för armlängds avstånd?
Useful section on most common reasons why searches were rejected - could be part of a checklist for when we're doing peer review. Added to Evidence Wiki.
Living systematic reviews (LSRs) are an increasingly common approach to keeping reviews up to date, in which new relevant studies are incorporated as they become available, so as to inform healthcare policy and practice in a timely manner. While journal publishers have been exploring the publication of LSRs using different updating and publishing approaches, readers cannot currently assess if the evidence underpinning a published LSR is up to date, as neither the search details, the selection process, nor the list of identified studies is made available between the publication of updates. We describe a new method to transparently report the living evidence surveillance process that occurs between published LSR versions.
Biblioteksbladet 12.11.2018: Med ett dramatiskt språk och Bill Gates pengar ska världens bibliotek förmås gå i takt med tiden. IFLA:s generalsekreterare Gerald Leitner kämpar med en biblioteksvärld där det finns ”hundratusentals” som är obenägna att förändras.
" ”Rörelsen” är framför allt arbetet med en gemensam strategi för världens bibliotek som påbörjades häromåret med hjälp av ett tioårigt finansiellt stöd från Bill och Melinda Gates stiftelse, som Gerald Leitner beskriver som en ”game changer”. "
