Jil
Fairclough BA (Hons) MCLIP 
After
a career in newspaper advertising, Jil decided there was more to
life than selling things and studied Information and Library Studies
at the University of Brighton.
In
1999 Jil established a new branch library at the Royal Sussex County
Hospital, providing on site library services until the Audrey Emerton
Building Library opened in summer 2005. Jil initiated a research
project which resulted in the development of an electronic journals
management system for all NHS Libraries in the Kent, Surrey and
Sussex region.
In March this year Jil was appointed
Medical School Librarian for Brighton & Sussex Medical School.
Abstract
Integrating information
literacy into the curriculum for medical students.
In October
2005 Brighton & Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust librarians
developed two separate teaching programmes for Brighton & Sussex
Medical School year 3 students. The first, entitled Evidence Based
Practice: Information Skills, was delivered to all 135 students
over a two week period. The second was a student selected component
(SSC) entitled Finding the Evidence: making sound clinical decisions
and taught in 8 week blocks over the whole year to students who
had chosen this course from fifty SSC's.
Jil Fairclough and
Ben Skinner will describe how they developed and delivered these
teaching sessions and what they learnt from the experience.
