Health librarianship courses and professional development mapped to HLA competency areas
The Competency Mapping work has produced a list of health-related courses, events and programs offered in 2018 that are relevant to health librarians and technicians in Australia. The courses are also mapped to HLA's eight competency areas.
ALIA HLA competencies
This document identifies and describes the ALIA Health Libraries Australia (ALIA HLA) eight competency areas. Health librarians, from novice to expert, need a basic understanding of each competency area:
- The health environment
- Reference and research services
- Resources
- Leadership and management
- Digital, ehealth and technology
- Health literacy and teaching
- Health research
- Professionalism
