Health librarians and the changing information landscape (IFLA Satellite Meeting)

"The capacity of new data analytical tools and services to interrogate massive datasets presents both opportunities and challenges for health services. It is a relatively new challenge for librarians but in facing it they can learn from their experience in adapting to enormous changes in information production, management and distribution over the past couple of decades. 

This experience has not only changed the profession itself but has helped to alter the way knowledge is created and used across the health sector.  Librarians’ ability to harness the potential of online resources has been crucial to the development of evidence based medicine."
