Deadline extended


The HLA Executive has announced that the deadline for applications for the HLA/HCN Innovation Award has been extended to March 31st, 2009.

The purpose of the Award is to acknowledge excellence/innovation in performance by an information professional. This Award is an opportunity for those working in the Australian health and biomedical library sector to showcase innovative projects which, through the use of health informatics or web technologies contribute to or support improved health outcomes.

This is a great opportunity to pick up $2500 to put toward yours or your team's professional development. All that's required is completing an application form and writing 2 articles for HLA News - one that describes your innovative project and one that reports on the professional development activity you use your winnings on.

If you're unsure whether your project is "innovative" contact a member of the HLA Exec. Click the 'office bearers' link on the HLA web site for contact details.
