Health Information & Libraries Journal (HILJ) is 25 this year!

We would like you - HILJ/HLR Readers - to help us celebrate

Over the last 25 years, first as Health Libraries Review and now Health Information & Libraries Journal, the strength of the journal has been its community of readers, contributors, authors and editors. We would like you to contribute to the Celebratory 25th Anniversary Issue!

What we would like you to do:
* Prepare between 200-250 words of text about Health Information and Libraries Journal/Health Libraries Review. It may be an appreciation of the contribution of the journal to your own development/practice/service, it may be an anecdote about your own involvement as an author or a contributor, it may be an influential or controversial article that you have read. It may even be about the people involved in getting it going, taking it to the next level or sustaining its development. You could even speculate on what you think that the journal should look like in the future.

* Access the Your Journal wiki (http://yourjournal.pbwiki.com/) [If you
are prompted for an Invite Identifier type in: hilj25] and paste your contribution (with either your identity or an "AB of Sheffield" type identifier) into the Comments function (blue button) at the top of the Front Page.
* We will select the most notable contributions either for publication in the Anniversary Issue or on a more comprehensive Health Libraries Group Web Site.

Please note by contributing to this Anniversary wiki you are giving consent for all (or a significant part) of your contribution to be included in the Anniversary Issue of HILJ and/or on the Health Libraries Group Website. We reserve the right to restrict reproduction of contributions to past or present readers of/contributors to the Journal or to past and present members of the Health Libraries Group.

Please get involved - after all it is your journal!

Health Information & Libraries Journal 25th Anniversary Issue

Special Commemorative Issue of Health Information and Libraries Journal

A special commemorative issue of the Health Information and Libraries Journal in honour of the renowned medical librarian Leslie T Morton who sadly died in February 2004 has been published. The issue is edited by Michael Carmel and Richard Osborn who both knew Leslie personally and have produced a fitting tribute to a man who was not only an exemplary medical librarian but an important ambassador for the library and information profession as a whole.
Leslie Morton was still working at the time of his death and the commemorative issue includes a review of his final publication "A Bibliography of Medical and Biomedical Biography (3rd ed)" which he produced with long-time collaborator Robert J Moore.

The commemorative issue also includes a bibliography of Leslie's work, personal reminiscences and eight original articles on topics ranging from the globalization of health librarianship to the benefits of user education, plus a report on the Leslie Morton Memorial Conference which took place in February this year.

To purchase a copy of this issue, please contact Blackwell's Customer Services on 01865 778315 or by email at customerservices@oxon.blackwellpublishing.com
making sure to ask for the special price of £17 plus p+p. You can also order online at:

The issue is Volume 22, Issue S1. Sept 2005, pgs 1-71

Special edition of Health Information and
Libraries Journal published in September last year (volume 21, supplement 2) in memory of Mona Going.

Mona Going was a pioneering hospital and community care librarian who made an enormous contribution to the early development of information services in both
these fields. But the lessons from Mona's career are relevant across all sectors of the library and information profession and the special edition in her honour deserves to be widely read.

You can purchase a copy of this special edition for £17 (quoting source code:35DM09HIR1) by contacting Blackwells Publishing Journal Customer Services on 01865 778315 or by email:customerservices@oxon.blackwellpublishing.com
