What do Punch and Judy shows, police balls and egg drives have to do with running a hospital? And why are we reading about such things in JoHILA? The answer lies in a fantastic collaboration between the Northern Sydney Local Health District libraries and TAFE NSW Ultimo, which is giving students a work placement experience like no other.

The ACC is the fruition of the vision of a group of passionate Adelaide chiropractors. They weren't just passionate about their own careers within chiropractic, they were passionate about the field as a whole; and that includes education. Not only were there no chiropractic courses offered locally, but even those located interstate were all offered within the broader context of universities. This group of people had a vision of a local institution that was dedicated solely to chiropractic education.

Resource sharing between health libraries is in a state of flux. Systems are changing, sources are becoming more limited and change is on the horizon. The aetiology is multifactorial, best practice responses are unclear and the prognosis is uncertain. This paper will outline the state of play, changes and challenges ahead, and possible futures.

Introduction: Accurate and timely medication information is crucial for health professionals working in a hospital environment. This article focuses on the findings of a medication information resources survey undertaken in a northern Australian health service. Objectives: To examine health professionals’ usage and satisfaction of medication information resources available to them. Methods: An online survey of staff was undertaken in May 2021. Results: There were 206 responses to the survey. Eighty-eight percent of respondents were either nurses, pharmacists or doctors. The four most popular resources were: Australian Medicines Handbook, Therapeutic Guidelines, MIMS Online and Australian Injectable Drugs Handbook. Fifty-three percent of respondents use the resources daily or more than once per day. Doctors are more likely to use the app version and the Health Library’s website is where the majority access the resource from. Eighty-one percent felt that it was extremely or moderately easy to access resources. Discussion: Responses from the open-ended question indicate that there is a lack of awareness of a number of resources which supports the need for strategic promotion and education. Conclusion: The results of this study have shown that health libraries subscribing to key medication information resources supports patient care and best practice.

We are pleased to say that we are progressing with the development of our postgraduate health librarianship specialist course, which will lead to certification as a specialist health librarian or health library technician. The course is aimed at those who are new or recently recruited to health librarianship, as well as those who aspire to getting a job in a health library. For current practitioners, the units may be taken to learn from our health library experts, update or refresh your knowledge of contemporary issues and topics, and fulfil CPD requirements.
