Dr. Steevens' Library celebrates Library Ireland Week 2014 17-24th November

Dr. Steevens' Library is celebrating Library Ireland Week.  This year's theme is 'Open For Business'.  Dr. Steevens' Library Staff will be in the staff canteen this week, looking for your feedback on library services.  Drop by and talk to us.  We have a 'Your Library, Your Say' survey that we would like all staff to complete.

When was the last time you read the evidence?

DROP EVERYTHING AND READ!

Dr. Steevens Library challenges you to set aside the next 5, 10 or 15 minutes for reading.  The following email contains links to 5/10 minute nuggets of reading material on topics relevant to your work and wellbeing.

We are open for business and with this initiative we are taking our business outside of the confines of the library walls and to encourage people to read the evidence so vital to the success of the health service.

THIS IS A LIBRARY IREALND WEEK 2014 INITIATIVE

HSE Call for completed and ongoing research

Health Librarians based at Dr Steevens’ Hospital in Dublin have issued a call for research papers to the health service. The online health facility Lenus (www.lenus.ie) is managed by the Health Librarians at Dr Steevens’ and acts as a repository for research activity.

Lenus provides a platform to showcase the output of the Irish health services both individually and collectively and makes the output available and accessible on an ongoing basis. This year the annual call for hospital research has been extended to include all research to the health service at large.

 Open Access is the free, immediate online access to research output. 

The motivation to provide this free access is particularly strong in respect of publicly funded research. Open Access was adopted by the HSE in 2013. The organisation’s Open Access Position Statement requires that all research output from HSE employees be made freely available where possible via Lenus and it is to this end that call for Irish hospital research continues to be made.

To build upon this baseline of health research, health sector hospitals and facilities are asked to submit a list of;

• published research for their institution/service from 2013 to present 
• reviewed [Ethics Committee] and ongoing research for 2013 to present 
• ongoing research in 2012/13 that has now reached publication 

•  Submit details of completed research online using the online form.
•  Submit details of ongoing research online using this form. 

For more information please contact Rickard, HSE Regional Librarian or Aoife Lawton, Lenus Project Manager. Email: regionallibrary@hse.ie

A new web exhibition, curated by Dr. Elizabethanne Boran (Librarian of the Edward Worth Library) on the History of Dr. Steevens Hospital has been launched. It is the sixth in a series of website exhibitions which, to date, have explored aspects of the holdings of the Worth Library. This builds on the very valuable ongoing work in History of Medicine in Ireland and indeed fits nicely with the recent web exhibition of the History of the Rotunda Hospital by our fellow librarian Anne O Byrne. For further details about the Edward Worth Library please link to the website: www.edwardworthlibrary.ie.
