Bumper issue of HLA News just published

The first issue of HLA News for 2007 has just been published. HLA members will have received their copy by email overnight.

In the lead article Lindsay Harris proves a superior tour guide as he tracks the journey towards national access to electronic health information; Desley Reid-Orr recounts the difficulties encountered when searching for grey literature in health care; and this issue's Left Field column is penned by David Hansen, leader of Health Data Integration and e-Health Metadata and Ontologies research projects at the e-Health Research Centre, who provides insight into the importance of semantics in healthcare. Also read reports from the HLA symposium, Information Rx, and the two day NSW Health Libraries workshop held late last year, and much more!

Thanks goes to our sponsor, EBSCO Australia. You can find a product update from EBSCO on page 11.

HLA News is the quarterly bulletin of the Australian Libraries and Information Association’s group, Health Libraries Australia (HLA). It has the simple aim of reporting the practices, policies, research, events and initiatives of Australian health and biomedical libraries, which may influence the practice and thinking of HLA members and other health and biomedical library workers. A by-product of this is a publication that showcases Australian health and biomedical library practice to the rest of the world.
