Libraries for Nursing held a very successful study day at the end of November 2003. The venue was the Royal College of Nursing in London, which proved to be popular.
The theme was evidence based practice and enquiry based learning. After an opening welcome from Jackie Lord, Head of Library and Information Services at the RCN, speakers included Ann Brice, from the Public Health Resource Unit in Oxford and NeLH, Anne Corrin, a lecturer from Homerton School of Health Studies, Kate Light, the Cochrane Library trainer, and Carl Thompson from the University of York.
The speakers covered a variety of topics including the role of the librarian in the 21 st century in providing information for evidence based practice, promoting the Cochrane Library to nurses, how librarians can help with enquiry based learning (EBL) and the information needs for evidence and research based nursing.
