"Doing more for less" Study Day - 24th February 2011 IFMH invites library and information professionals to attend their forthcoming study day on commissioning. It will be held at the Lecture Theatre at Derby Hospital, 10 am - 4.00 pm.
This study day will focus on "doing more for less" in the NHS, focusing on key initiatives such as QIPP and Quality and Improvement. It will help library and information professionals to understand the broader perspective and provide a roundtable opportunity to discuss their role in supporting colleagues to meet these challenges. For further details, including how to book a place, please see the "Doing more for less" study day page. **IFMH Study Day on Commissioning -

IFMH ran a session at the 2008 HLG Conference in

Changing rooms:
designing an Information and Library Service for the
future
Ray Phillips and Valerie Wildridge (Information
and Library Service, King's Fund)
In 2007 the King's Fund
Information and Library Service (KFILS) was set a number of
challenges, including but not exclusively: the need to move to a
smaller location and make that new location a success, moving to a
greater electronic presence and developing services commensurate
with that, as a team, surviving and thriving during a time of change
and making sure that we have the right skill set, structure, outlook
and products to ensure we continue to shine as a service. As we are
about to move into our new location (August 2008), this presentation
will firstly discuss how we have planned the space to fulfil a
number of tasks, including increasing our footfall; its being a
vibrant area for discussion, a thoroughfare and a tool to promote
the ILS and the organisation more widely. Secondly, how we
have and how we are moving to a greater electronic presence - what
has worked, what's in process and what hasn't been as successful.
Finally, we will discuss the lessons learned from these activities,
and where we go from here.
Study Day: "SUCCESS IN PROJECT MANAGEMENT" - an informative
and practical workshop for those wanting to improve their project
