- Designing a Specialist Post-Graduate Qualification and Continuing Professional Development Structure for the Health Librarian Workforce of the Future Ritchie, Ann Hallam, Gillian Hamill, C. Lewis, S. Foti, M. O'Connor, P. Clark, C. Foreign Countries Medical Libraries Librarians Specialists Measures (Individuals) Competency Based Education Job Skills Knowledge Level Graduate Study Performance Based Assessment Professional Development Program Implementation Systems Approach Research Methodology Through a grant received from the Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA), Health Libraries Australia (HLA) is conducting a twelve-month research project with the goal of developing a system-wide approach to education for the future health librarianship workforce. The research has two main aims: to determine the future skills, knowledge, and competencies for the health librarian workforce in Australia; and to develop a structured, modular education framework for specialist post-graduate qualifications together with a structure for ongoing continuing professional development. The paper highlights some of the drivers for change for health librarianship as a profession, and particularly for educating the future workforce. The research methodology is outlined and the main results of the second stage of the project are described together with the findings and their implications for the development of a structured, competency-based education framework.
