Success Story: Supporting Evidence in Practice & Research
“We call the workshop we offer to practitioners ‘How to find the best evidence in 5 minutes or less’,” laughs Deborah Collette, the Research and Evaluation Coordinator for Nursing at Northern Health Authority (NH). “Of course, finding good information often takes much longer than that.”
Using RSS Feeds to Create a Targeted Current Awareness Website
The Vancouver Coastal Health library team serves a large georgraphic area in southwestern British Columbia. We wanted to reach out to allied health professionals in our health authority as we noticed that they were not heavy library users. In order to support their work and promote the use of library resources, the library created a special website comprised almost entirely of content from RSS feeds in order to help allied health professionals keep up to date on what’s new in their discipline.
