CHC in Melbourne

Back in August I headed down to the new Royal Children's Hospital for a meeting with other librarian's about the Clinician's Helath Channel. It was lovely to catch up with folk as I rarely get down for events.

The best thing to come out of the meeting (apart from seeing the new hospital and the meerkats) was that Ebsco got another year's extension on the CHC contract so in the interim nothing will change. I don't mind chnage but at the minute I seem to have enough to cope with already!

Clinician's Health Channel catch-up

Last Wednesday I headed to Melbourne for a CHC catch-up. It was lovely to catch-up with folk who I haven't seen for well over a year. It was also good to reacquaint myself with some of the products.
