In addition to the bitesized training in Twitter and Apps for health professionals taking place on 26th September and 14 November respectively we have now added a further session to the list:
Health Education England e-Learning for Healthcare (HEE e-LfH) has added the e-LfH Hub and its thousands of e-learning sessions to the list of OpenAthens resources to make it easier for certain groups of the health and social care workforce to access e-LfH’s e-learning.
The legality of linking depends on whether it leads to a communication to the public, which is a restricted act and therefore requires permission of the rightsholder. However, if that material has already been made available to the public by means of placing on a freely accessible web site, and therefore potentially available to anyone with internet connectivity, then a third party putting a link to that material is often not infringing because there is no “new” public to which the information is being communicated, but a lot depends on whether the content linked to itself infringes. This is a fine example of the convoluted logic used by the European Court! Anyway, one can now classify links and their likelihood of being infringement. The Table below is based on one created by Eleonara Rosati as a result of the two Court cases
The plans follow two detailed consultations which have taken place during the course of this year and will mean original proposals to close six of the borough’s nine libraries have been ripped up.
Now three of those six libraries – Donnington, Dawley and Stirchley – will be run by Town or Parish Councils. Also a fourth library in Hadley will be run by Hadley Learning Community, supported by Hadley & Leegomery Parish Council.
This was after the Town and Parish Councils expressed concerns about their library closing and indicated they would be interested in running a community lead library.
Finally, at Telford we currently have an ongoing chess game, and at Shrewsbury we have an ongoing jigsaw puzzle to complete, and anyone is welcome to have a go.
This virtual issue is published to coincide with the CILIP Health Libraries Group Conference 2016. The theme of the conference is Knowledge for Healthcare (KFH), the development framework for health care library and knowledge services (LKS), published by Health Education England. Transforming the service, and delivering the right evidence at the right time and place, is a key strategic focus of KFH. Therefore, this virtual issue draws on content published in Health Information and Libraries Journal (HILJ) in the last 2 years, which demonstrate initiatives in health care LKS in line with the transformation strands outlined in KFH. The virtual issue follows the same structure as a regular issue of HILJ, containing one review article, a series of original articles and our three regular features: Dissertations into Practice, Teaching and Learning in Action and International Perspectives and Initiatives.

Systematic reviews provide Level 1 evidence. They are firmly part of modern medical practice. Ideally, systematic reviews provide readers with comprehensive evidence summaries and can highlight research deficiencies. Busy clinicians welcome bite sized summaries to inform their practice. As part of BJSM’s Education theme, we address the question ‘Should I trust this systematic review?’. To read the full article, log in using your NHS OpenAthens details
Mental health literacy has received great attention recently to improve mental health knowledge, decrease stigma and enhance help-seeking behaviors. We conducted a systematic review to critically appraise the qualities of studies evaluating the measurement properties of mental health knowledge tools and the quality of included measurement properties.
Open access. Since the emergence of social media in 2004, a growing percentage of patients use this technology for health related reasons. To reflect on the alleged beneficial and potentially harmful effects of social media use by patients, the aim of this paper is to provide an overview of the extant literature on the effects of social media use for health related reasons on patients and their relationship with healthcare professionals. We conducted a systematic literature review on empirical research regarding the effects of social media use by patients for health related reasons. The papers we included met the following selection criteria: (1) published in a peer-reviewed journal, (2) written in English, (3) full text available to the researcher, (4) contain primary empirical data, (5) the users of social media are patients, (6) the effects of patients using social media are clearly stated, (7) satisfy established quality criteria.
