| Summary: | Health Librarians in Wales spend many hours preparing teaching materials and instructing patrons how to use electronic resources to help them to find evidence based information. Due to work commitments or pressures of time, many NHS staff are unable to attend one-to-one tutorials or traditional formal training sessions organised by their local health library service. To overcome this barrier to learning, an e-learning project called WeLIS (Wales e-Library Information Skills) has been set up to create a health information online training resource for NHS Wales staff, at a time and place to suit them. WeLIS has been created by a small group of health librarians from across Wales. The course will be implemented on a national scale. It will provide a 24 hour, seven day a week learning environment with easily accessible material to enable staff to develop or refresh their information searching skills. |
