Health Info Libr J. 2019 Dec;36(4):295-298. doi: 10.1111/hir.12288.

Abstract

Journal clubs are an effective means to increase skills in handling evidence and support the continuing professional development of library and knowledge services workers. This editorial examines the progression of HILJ Club, an online journal club, from an idea to the launch of a dedicated platform. One article is selected per issue of the Health Information and Libraries Journal with an open discussion invited following a brief summary and reflections by a host. Participation in HILJ Club is growing. Future success is reliant on wider engagement, and an invitation is extended to join in the discussions or even host an edition.

Keywords: Evidence Based Library and Information Practice; continuing professional development; library and information professionals.
