Abstract: Information overload is a serious threat to the productivity of healthcare managers. Instead of facilitating informed decision making, an overabundance of information actually impedes managers from negotiating information effectively. There are many methods of dealing with information overload, one of which is the use of web infomediaries as a source of information. The University of British Colummbia’s Centre for Health Care management’s READ Portal (http://www.read.chcm.ubc.ca) is an example of an infomediary that is striving to help healthcare managers overcome the effects of information overload. This portal aggregates content from numerous high-quality sources, which is then hosted in one easy to access location. Content is condensed into brief abstracts and synopses that are easy to ingest and includes links to full-text articles and papers that viewers can either choose to visit or not, depending on their needs. The READ Portal can be used as a model for other organizations looking to meet the information needs of managers without overwhelming them with excessive information.

This is the second in a series of commentaries from members of the Open Access Interest Group of Canadian Health Libraries Association / Association des bibliothe`ques (CHLA / ABSC). Devon Greyson’s inaugural contribution ‘‘Open access and health librarians in 2011’’ concluded with a timely discussion of open access (OA) opportunities for health librarians. Where Greyson concluded is exactly where this article begins by exploring the liaison role that the international OA movement presents. Also to be discussed are the quintessential resources for the Canadian health librarian’s OA knowledgebase or toolbox.

This paper describes the early stages of creating an online social media course for health care managers (HCMs), a collaborative project undertaken by two health librarians for the Centre for Health Care Management (CHCM) at the University of British Columbia (UBC) Sauder School of Business. The early planning for the course (actually a condensed five-week workshop) was an iterative, heuristic process that built substantially on the literature, environmental scans of relevant websites, and existing content that was developed for two other courses taught by one of the authors.
