Editorial

Hello to you all, and welcome to the latest issue of HLG Nursing Bulletin,

bringing you a mix of articles that, to quote Lord Reith’s vision, will

hopefully inform, educate and entertain.

Keeping, managing and sharing data is a vitally important aspect in the

research process, with Research Data Management becoming an

increasing part of the work that LIS professionals engage in in

healthcare organisations. Here, Steven Walker relates how one NHS

organisation has been able to set up a system to retain and maintain its

research data in a way that has not cost a fortune, either in terms of

finance or staff time.

The CILIP/HEE Leadership program continues apace, with

communication the focus of the latest face-to-face session. Sam and

Heather, our regular columnists, discuss what went on at this session,

as well as the project work they and their group within the cohort are

engaging in.

A key element of Knowledge for Healthcare is the facilitation of public

access to good quality information, and this is where public libraries can

be important points for the public to come. Lisa Gardner describes the

study day held in Oldham in January 2018 that looked at the partnership

that can be forged between health and public librarians, and how it can

be made, forged and improved for the benefit of the public.

This is the last issue of the Bulletin before the HLG Conference in June.

You can still book a place if you haven’t already, in the knowledge that

the programme is now available for you to browse. Carol Stevenson, the

conference organiser, gives an update on the preparations for the



conference, with themes, speakers, and all sorts of other things to whet

your appetite.

Speaking of the HLG Conference, we have a special offer for those of

you that have been lucky (or unlucky, depending on your point of view!)

enough to have been chosen as a presenter. Not only is HLG’s CPD

Group offering peer support sessions for presenters, but LIHNN have

two separate presentation skills training days available to book places

on.

Additionally at the conference, the Health Libraries Group will be

presenting this year’s Cyril Barnard Memorial Prize for outstanding

contribution to medical librarianship, so we want your nominations. You

can make nominations via the online nominations form.

In addition to HLG of course, 2018 also sees the EAHIL conference in

Cardiff, and we have an update from the organisers detailing the

conference programme, list of speakers and how to book your place.

As always, we want your articles, so if you have an idea that you’d like to

share with the profession, get in touch with us. Whether it’s a study day

you’ve been to, some new procedure or process you’ve implemented, a

resource that you’ve just procured, or even an opinion you’d like to

share, let us know. This is YOUR bulletin. Details on how you can

contribute are at the end of the issue, and on our website.

Launching a Research Repository with

Microsoft SharePoint

Steven Walker

Librarian for Bristol

Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health NHS Partnership Trust

Email: [email protected]

Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust (AWP) has set

up a digital Research Repository using SharePoint to host the

information on its Intranet. Working in collaboration, the Library and

Knowledge Service, Nursing and Quality and Research & Development

created a new Research Repository database. SharePoint is

underpinned by a powerful database and it is a very flexible tool in terms

of information management. AWP needed a tool that would facilitate

collaborative working, simulate database functions and present

information in a number of ways for different user requirements.

There are several databases and specialist information storage and

retrieval tools that could be used to host a Research Repository either

internally or externally through the Internet. While there is often a

temptation in organisations to think of using well known applications and

blogging software there are often local solutions that will meet your

needs just as effectively. In this article, I will explore how Microsoft

SharePoint can be deployed as an effective information solution in which

to create and share research across a healthcare organisation.

Before selecting a particular solution, one needs to consider the whole

process of how the information is going to be managed. For example,

consider questions such as ‘What are the information requirements now

and in the future?’ and ‘How can we organise the information effectively

mailto:[email protected]



and also cost effectively?’ IT budgets in a number of organisations are

under pressure with the demands of support agreements, upgrades and

migration to new platforms. It is most advantageous if your plans can be

incorporated within an existing solution.

One of the key strengths of SharePoint is that it is a web-based

collaborative working tool that can be accessed by everyone through an

Intranet so there is minimal effort in terms of setting up the solution other

than promoting your new tool within your community of users once it has

been established. Given that in the majority of cases it will be in use

within an organisation there will be no financial cost or licensing burden.

Figure 1: AWP Repository home page

Details of staff research and publications were originally held in a

spreadsheet which was imported into a SharePoint List. Almost



everything within SharePoint is organised within ‘Lists’ and these

function in a similar way to spreadsheets. ‘Lists’ are a very effective way

to manage, store and manipulate information. SharePoint provides the

opportunity to present the same information in different ways using filters

called Views. The Research Repository has several ‘Views’ that present

different aspects of the data relating to the publications. For example,

there is a ‘View’ for ‘All Research’, ‘AWP Sponsored Research’ and

‘Systematic Reviews’ to a name a few. The data that is presented within

these ‘Views’ is filtered according to keywords in the columns within the

‘List’.

The data is currently managed by our Research and Development

department here at AWP. The ‘List’ within SharePoint is controlled by a

set of permissions so that while most users across the organisation can

browse the information, they cannot make changes or add details of new

publications. In due course, it may prove time consuming to have

members of our Research and Development team update the ‘List’ every

time a member of staff wishes to add details of publications that they

have been involved in writing. Instead, an automated form called an

‘Infopath’ form may be used to co-ordinate the information flow. For

example, when a member of staff wishes to submit details of their

publication they could complete an ‘Infopath’ form. The appropriate team

members in Research and Development will be notified of a pending

submission and will need to make a decision as to whether to approve or

reject the information about the given publication. If the team decide to

accept the entry, the ‘Infopath’ form will automatically enter the data into

the Research Repository List.



Figure 2: Author list in repository

In the longer term, once the data has been cleansed, organised and

managed within SharePoint, it should be possible to present it for

inclusion in a wider Research Repository solution across the NHS

Library, Knowledge and Information community subject to the

requirements of stakeholders here at AWP.

In the future, there may be a need to generate reports in respect of the

data that is held within the Research Repository. One of the key

strengths of SharePoint is that it integrates very effectively with other

Microsoft Office applications such as Excel and Access. Data from a

‘List’ can be exported into a spreadsheet at the touch of the button for

further analysis, or indeed Microsoft Access in order to create a

database. As referred to above, it should be possible to import the

contents of the AWP Research Repository into a much broader, regional



or national database solution given the integration between SharePoint

and Microsoft Office applications.

The fact that SharePoint is a web-based tool allows for the presentation

of data in several different ways, especially with regard to filters and

views. In this respect, it is possible to try and achieve something that will

suit the needs of everyone within your organisation. Often, one of the

challenges within an organisation is to achieve the ‘buy in’ from

members of the team. One of the best ways to do this is to show them

that there is something positive in the solution for them.

SharePoint is a process improvement tool and there are some

limitations. It is not a fully blown out of the box library and information

management system. It doesn’t have the same look and feel as a

structured library system and search interface. Entering long abstracts

will be problematic within ‘Lists’ without technical developments as the

wandering text will distort the view of the page, so a concise summary

will go better with the ‘List’. Nevertheless, impressive, cost effective and

collaborative results can be achieved through using SharePoint’s

features to manage and sort information through mechanisms called

‘Lists’ and ‘Views’.

If you are considering developing a Research Repository do not be

deterred by the technical challenge. Your local webmaster or Information

Manager should be able to guide you through the process. Start in a

structured way and build up a spreadsheet of initial data that can be

transferred to a broader solution in due course. Consider what your aims

are and how these can best be achieved with your proposed solution.

Reflect upon how you would wish to have your data organised and



categorized, the possibilities are almost unlimited with tools such as

SharePoint.

Please feel to contact me via email should you have any questions

about the design and implementation of the Research Repository.

Leadership Development Programme –

Session 3

Heather Steele

Library and Knowledge Lead

Leeds and York Partnership NHS Trust

[email protected]

In January we met in Bristol for the latest face-to-face workshop where

the theme was communication as led by Claire Bradshaw. It was held in

a venue not too far from the city centre and included a nice brisk walk

from the hotel, across some of the waterways and past some really

interesting shops and sights.

After tea and coffee we all briefly said what our intentions were for the

day and what we hoped to learn or develop. The overwhelmingly popular

answer was confidence in communication. Other answers were:

Communicating upwards

Communicating with stakeholders

Networking

Communicating effectively in meetings

Checking comprehension

Communication style and channel in difficult situations





In groups we discussed what good communication looks like, sounds

like, and feels like. Heather’s table discussed what good communication

sounds like, and they came up with things such as making agreement

noises (yes, um, etc.), paraphrasing, matching speed and tone of

speech, verbal cues, and animated voices.

We did an exercise where we each had to think about the word

“camping” and what it meant to us. A few people fed back and each had

a slightly (or even drastically!) different answer. Some people said things

like “freedom” “outdoors” “campfires” “nature” and others (including

Heather) said things like “cold” “muddy” “dark” “tired” and “hungry!”

(Sam can’t remember what she said but probably covered the lack of

power to recharge her cochlear implant batteries!) This demonstrated

that the words we use can have different meanings for each of us as we

all have a different frame of reference and how we see the world. This

can positively or negatively affect our communication with others making

communication very difficult if our starting points are diametrically

opposing!

We also looked at the link between body and mind. Amy Cuddy (see

TED talks - https://www.ted.com/speakers/amy_cuddy) has done

research into how the body can affect the mind and vice versa.

Standing in a “power pose” for two minutes (making yourself as big as

possible – arms wide!) has been shown to increase confidence and aid

communication. This was so interesting and Heather tried this before

doing a presentation – it seemed to work!

Next we worked with a partner to turn limiting beliefs into empowering

beliefs. We each wrote down five limiting beliefs about ourselves and

https://www.ted.com/speakers/amy_cuddy



turning them around to be positive and empowering. For example

Heather’s were:

Limiting Beliefs Empowering Beliefs

1. I’m rubbish 1. I want to do well

2. I’m not assertive enough 2. I give others space to speak

3. I don’t know what I’m doing 3. I’m doing what I need to do

4. Why am I here 4. I want to help

5. I can’t offer anything 5. I want to offer services to help others

After lunch we discussed the curse of knowledge and how knowing what

we mean ourselves can alter how we explain information, and can cause

frustration. We practiced this by tapping out a song to a partner for them

to guess the song. The tappers were frustrated by the difficulty of the

listeners to correctly guess the song – we knew what it was so it was

obvious to us! How could the listeners not understand?! We learnt that

when information isn’t understood, just repeating the same thing will not

usually get the same answer. For effective communication, sometimes

different methods are needed for comprehension.

Sam was particularly intrigued by the perceptual positioning tool

whereby we are encouraged to take a position to revisit a particular

conversation (or to plan an upcoming one). The tool works by taking

yourself back in time to be yourself again and repeating the conversation

in your head. You then physically move yourself to where the other

person was sitting and attempt to repeat (again in your own mind) what

they said in a means to feel what they might be feeling during that

conversation. Finally, you take yourself out of the conversation and

repeat the whole thing as an onlooker – assessing the conversation

from a neutral position and gauging feelings, thoughts, and responses



before offering yourself (as you were at that point in time) some advice

or feedback as to what went well or what you should have done. A truly

powerful tool for exploring difficult conversations and reflecting on what

the other person involved in that conversation may have been thinking or

the position from which they were coming from.

We also did a listening exercise – Claire read a story and asked

questions at the end to see how well we listened. Quite a few of us were

caught out and misinterpreted what was said to mean something else!

For instance, as this was a fairy-tale type story, some of us assumed

that the witch was old even though age was not mentioned; or that the

princess was beautiful when she wasn’t described as such. This led

onto a discussion about “weasel words” which can be used innocently

and interpreted negatively – words like: but, hopefully, don’t, can’t , try,

and difficult. Most of the time these can be harmlessly replaced (e.g. try

using and instead of but) or avoid them (e.g. instead of “don’t run” say

“walk”).

In February our project group met in Manchester for an Action Learning

Set. We both presented for the first time and we found it so helpful to be

able to explore our thoughts in a safe space whilst being challenged by

our peers to think about issues in a way in which we may not have done

so previously. We seemed to find it easier this time, things moved quite

smoothly, and by the end of the day everyone who hadn’t presented

before had done so. If you would like to read more about Action

Learning Sets then do read Jo Walley’s article “using action learning

sets to support professional development” in the May 2017 edition of

CILIP’s Update.



This course also has an online element to it so outside of our face to

face meetings we are also exploring such things as leadership theories

and networking skills, not forgetting to mention that we also have a year-

long project to complete. We are both involved in the statistics group

along with Holly Case Wyatt, Dawn Grundy, Kal Dhanda, and Catherine

McLaren. The project group are currently out and about carrying out

focus groups and a survey will shortly be released to find out what LKS

staff think about the statistics they collect. Do keep an eye out as there

will be opportunities for those interested to become statistics champions

and support the work of this group by offering feedback on the potential

toolkit all this information will feed in to. The statistics team are providing

an update on the project at the June HLG conference at Keele

University. This may include any results we've had from various focus

groups and surveys as well as possibly a first glance at the potential

toolkit, while the UKMedLibs Twitter chat on 17 April 2018 will cover the

work done.

Health Literacy – why attend a conference?

The Public and Mobile Libraries Group and Health Libraries Group of

CILIP had collaboratively presented a conference on health literacy and

partnership working in August last year in Richmond, Surrey.

Organising this conference in Oldham presented an opportunity for more

library staff to be involved in this learning exchange. Our NHS Support

team at Imperial College has been exploring ways of working with public

libraries and patient-facing bodies to support health literacy and promote

quality health information. Additionally, as a health librarian I work with

NHS staff who provide health information directly to patients. This

conference was therefore relevant and timely. By attending I hoped to

discover possible ways our library could help support health literacy and

the promotion quality health information in the public sphere. Secondly, I


https://www.cilip.org.uk/events/EventDetails.aspx?id=1050233&group=201310



wanted to find out what public librarians might need from health

librarians.

The government states that ‘Health literacy refers to people having the

appropriate skills, knowledge, understanding and confidence to access,

understand, evaluate, use and navigate health and social care

information and services’.1 Evidence shows that high quality health

information is has a positive impact on public interactions and

experiences with health services, and that providing access to that

information is crucial.2 This is not only important for individual wellbeing,

but also has an impact on the ways of working of NHS staff, and the

provision of health care services and resources. In England, 42% of

working-age adults are unable to understand and make use of everyday

health information, rising to 61% when numeracy skills are also required

for comprehension.3 People with limited health literacy are more likely to

need the intervention of emergency services, and are less likely to

engage with healthy lifestyle behaviours which in turn can mean poorer

health and premature death. Conversely, improved health literacy can

empower people and increase health knowledge and build resilience,

encourage positive lifestyle changes, enable people to effectively

manage long-term health conditions with fewer interventions and reduce

the burden on health and social care services.4 Yet producing

information and providing access alone is often not sufficient - skills and

support are required to identify quality health information and how best

to access such. Librarians are ideally equipped to facilitate these.

Conference presentations

Deena Maggs from the King’s Fund introduced the King’s Fund free

Enquiry Service and the resources they use to answer questions from

patients and the public. I arrived towards the end of the presentation

due to train times, but found several points Deena made interesting.

Firstly she highlighted the Ideas Bank on the Knowledge for Healthcare

website.5 This gives case studies, examples of public/ patient

interventions and training that health librarians can be involved in. For

our particular service, which is not patient/ public facing, many of these

ideas would not be relevant but I can see they would be extremely

valuable with health librarians who are public/ patient facing. Our focus

is supporting those who are public/ patient facing and we are looking at

ways we can pass on these ideas and skills to public librarians as well

as NHS staff. My learning from Deena’s presentation included:

Full Facts website. This was new to me, and has a wide range of

information which both healthcare workers and the public can

access on items in discussion in our society today including NHS

pay, obesity related illness and A&E performance.6

Terminology and synonyms different people might use to mean the

same thing (eg. clinicians, the voluntary sector and patients). Also

being aware of our own language – is it clear for the enquirer?

What terms are best understood by specific kinds enquirers?

5 http://kfh.libraryservices.nhs.uk/patient-and-public-information/ideas-bank-2/ 6 https://fullfact.org/health/

http://kfh.libraryservices.nhs.uk/patient-and-public-information/ideas-bank-2/

http://kfh.libraryservices.nhs.uk/patient-and-public-information/ideas-bank-2/

https://fullfact.org/health/



Building relationships with potential enquirers/ enquirers to help

answer enquiries but also to demonstrate that we have the skills

and resources to answer future enquiries and engage in ongoing

information dialogue.

Rachel Gledhill from Public Health England emphasised the need for

cross-sector partnerships in order to cascade health literacy skills,

knowledge and resources. Although many people will ‘Google’ a health

question, as the internet has no quality standard, there is a danger of

information on there being inaccurate and unreliable, and incorrect

information leading to poor health related decisions. Librarians have the

skills and knowledge to help people find and access quality, relevant

health information, and also provide training so others can cascade

health literacy. Rachel signposted a range of resources for librarians to

use with the public, including:

NHS Choices7 and NHS Choices Toolkit with its range of apps

including a blood pressure checker, myth buster, and drinks

checker8

Healthtalk9 – providing reliable health information for a patient

perspective. There are also a range of patient experience videos

on a vast array of health issues which are can be useful for people

who can find accessing text on health information challenging due

http://www.healthtalk.org/



to literacy or language issues, dyslexia or visual impairment for

example.

PubMed Health10 – a free resource but I, and the two librarians

sitting by me, felt that this would need more support for many

users to access and understand, compared to NHS Choices for

example.

The second part of Rachel’s presentation was on quality tools and

techniques. Since Rachel’s signposting I have found out more about to

the Information Standard11. I also came away thinking about how to

encapsulate and reword both the questions used by Discern quality

criteria12 and the work by Silberg et al on assessing quality in health

information13 to make it more user friendly for our library users and for

training others.

Starting off the afternoon’s presentations was Dan Livesey from Greater

Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust. He gave a fascinating

presentation on innovative work his library service and the public library

service have worked together and supported health information

provision. This included the resources created as part the Recovery

Academy course for patients and a new suite of patient information

leaflets which could be used in public libraries as well as health libraries,

all produced to the Information Standard, with patient involvement and

feedback. The level of patient usage of the library services was notable

and for services which are patient facing there was much to learn. For

our service there was less we could use but then again as we are

supporting those who are patient facing there are suggestions for

building relationships and opportunities to improve patient understanding

and interaction with health information. Our service is currently working

on a leaflet to be produced by our library service on health information

for patients which could potentially be used by public librarians and

patient-facing bodies.

The Society of Chief Librarians Universal Health Offer was then

described.14 Now is an excellent time to look at health information and

health literacy collaboration between public and health librarians, with

the Universal Health Offer being embedded into public library practice,

the opportunities provided through agendas from Health Education

England, the Reading Agency and others, as well as evidence of real

need in society to impact positively on people’s health through health

literacy provision. Knowledge for Healthcare has a suite of resources for

developing local partnerships regarding public and patient information.15

Finally there was a showcase of initiatives created by libraries under the

Engaging Libraries programme16 This programme was new to me. The

programme is a partnership between the Wellcome Trust and Carnegie

UK Trust, and was created as a result of work done between the

Wellcome Trust and the Society of Chief Librarians. The programme

offers support and guidance as well as funding for health and wellbeing

themed projects in public libraries, with an ongoing commitment to share

the outcomes and the experience more widely. I particularly wished I

could have attended Comics and Cosplay event at Oldham Libraries!

The examples showcased inspired me to consider potential for health

libraries to engage with public libraries more on similar projects, to

support the training and information needs of public librarians creating

health and wellbeing events if required, even if their own services are

not public-facing.

Learning and conclusions

Overall this conference furthered my knowledge of the health literacy

landscape, and about how health libraries and public libraries have and

can work in together with regard to this. I discovered new information

about ways other health libraries work which expanded my

understanding. I was able to find out about resources and initiatives

which I could bring back to my service. I encountered and appreciated

public libraries’ role in health information anew, and found out about

projects I had not heard of in health and wellbeing in that sector. I have

thought about health literacy in a much broader and creative way since

the conference. Finding out what public librarians might need from

health librarians was not obviously answered during the conference.

Some inference was gained from the afternoon presentations but if there

was one thing I would have liked to have done would have been a

chance to ask public librarians what they wanted from health librarians –

although I chatted in the breaks to other librarians only one was from a

public library service.



Unlike most of the participants, the library service I work for is not public-

facing so some of the initiatives discussed, and also signposted to, are

not directly comparable to our work. However, that does not mean to

say that we cannot be involved in supporting services and staff who are

public-facing. Our role would be different, and ideas and learning can be

reworked to be useful to our library users, and the relationships we could

develop with public-facing staff and organisations, including public

libraries. Since the conference we have reached out to local public

libraries and also to the Patient Advice and Liaison Service, to find out

how they are working with health information and health literacy, and to

see how we could support this work.

There has never been a time where there has been such a real need for

health literacy and health information support. Whatever kind of health

library we work in, I think there is the potential to work to support public

and patient information needs and health literacy. Thank you CILIP

PMLG and HLG for arranging the conference. I hope as services, skills

and resources develop there will be more events on this important

subject.



HLG Conference 2018 Update

13-15 June 2018, Keele University

Carol Stevenson

[email protected]

We are very excited to share the programme for the CILIP Health Libraries

Group Conference 2018. Always a programme at the forefront of current

thinking, many delegates remark each year that they learn more best

practice in two days at the conference than they do in a whole year behind

their desks.

2018 looks to be our best yet, with more delegate registrations than ever

before and an exhibition hall that sold out with months to go. With exciting

additions to the agenda such as knowledge cafés and a full health and

wellbeing agenda including running and Tai Chi, the programme is also

stuffed full with interactive sessions allowing you to get to the heart of your

issues and do your job smarter.

On the main agenda, CILIP’s CEO Nick Poole will welcome you to the

conference, along with Dr Mark Murphy, GP and Lecturer in the

Department of General Practice in the Royal College of Surgeons, Ireland,

who will discuss his work in encouraging clinicians to source evidence-

based material and share decisions with patients. On Day Two, Louise

Goswami and Sue Lacey Bryant from Health Education England will

discuss their goal to implement Knowledge for Healthcare, bringing its

ambitious vision to reality to support #AmillionDecisions across the health

service. Rachel Heydecker and Andy Wright from Carnegie UK Trust will




then discuss how to engage the public in your libraries and inspiring them

about health and wellbeing.

The main themes of the programme are:

Examining the future workforce: What will it look like and how can

you retain and grow your relevancy?

Assessing professional skills and development: Stressing the

importance of continuous self-improvement to stay a step ahead

Connecting with like-minded professionals: Forming strong

relationships to ensure career longevity and fulfilment

So don't miss your chance to join over 350+ health library professionals

at Keele University, 13-15 June 2018. To register, view the programme,

the health and wellbeing agenda, delegate fees, exhibitor list,

accommodation and much more, view the Registration Website at

www.regonline.co.uk/hlg2018.

Sponsorship

The exhibition hall has already sold out but we still have a few spaces

Cyril Barnard Memorial Prize

Medical librarianship is a fairly small, niche specialty, with no great

ceremonies to honour those that have done exceptional work, and have

made great contributions to the field. But, there are awards made, and

one that Health Libraries Group takes great pride in bestowing is the

Cyril Barnard Memorial Prize.

Cyril Barnard (1894-1959) had, for many years, served as the librarian of

the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, where he devised

the Barnard system of classification, as well as being one of the

founders, and first chair of, the Medical Section of the Library

Association in 1947. (Poynter, 1959) Following his death in a road

accident in 1959 (Thornton, 1984), it was suggested that an award be

set up in his name to commemorate his life and work. Initial suggestions

were that the award be presented annually, but it was eventually

decided that it should be made every three years, with a fund to set up

the cost of the award.(Hipkins, 1959) The formal announcement came in

July 1960, stating that the first presentation, for ‘outstanding contribution

to medical librarianship’, would be in 1962.(Thornton, 1984)

The first recipient of the award was William J. Bishop in 1962. This was

awarded posthumously following his death in 1961.(Brodman, 1961) The

award was presented at that year’s annual Medical Section Dinner in the

form of an engraved silver salver.(Thornton, 1984) The tradition of

making the presentation at a formal dinner continued until 1977, which

was also the final year that a salver was presented.(Thornton, 1984)



The prize continues to be awarded, with the most recent recipient being

Anne Brice from Public Health England in 2014.(Brice & Grant, 2014)

Table 1: Recipients of the Cyril Barnard Memorial Prize

However, no award was made in 2017, as the Health Libraries Group,

the current successor to the Medical Section, has decided to amend the

period between awards from three to two years, allowing the

presentation to coincide with the biannual Health Libraries Group

conference. To that end, the HLG Committee is inviting nominations for

the 2018 Cyril Barnard Memorial Prize. Nominations can be made using

the online nominations form, and should be received by 30th April 2018.

Current Awareness

Within our profession, we’re always emphasising to our users the

importance of maintaining their current awareness of what is going on.

And that is no less true for us, so here we present a small sample of

recent articles that have caught our eyes. Of course, being a small

sample, there is much more out there. So, if you do see something that

you think has been of use to you, and would be of use to all of us, let us

know and we’ll include it in subsequent issues. Whether it’s a journal

article, web page, tweetchat or any other type of media, don’t keep it to

yourself. You can find our contact details on the HLG website at
