Health Libraries Inc. Training Day - May 17


On May 17th I headed to the State Library of Victoria for the HLI Training Day. I helped to organise the day so a big shout out to our sponsors Ebsco and MIMS for their support in making this event happen. You can see me above with Jeremy and the lovely Rachel from Ebsco who is helping both Jeremy and I with a pilot project about using Ebsco's A-Z to add our holdings to Google Scholar and Pubmed via Athens integration.  Also a big thanks to HLI for making the day happen, especially Jeremy for much of the organisation. Here are my notes from the day:
