#ukmedlibs Chat October – Digital skills for knowledge and library staff

We were away for two months, but we’re back for October

2022 is the year of Digital Professional and suddenly it seems like Knowledge and Library staff are building or flexing their skills to include elements of digital and data work. But what does that mean in reality? And how can we put those skills to use the healthcare context?

Questions as follows;

1. What would you define as digital and data skills for library staff?
2. How confident do you currently feel about incorporating data and digital elements in to our work?
3. Have you undertaken any learning around coding or programming?
4. How do you think healthcare knowledge and library staff can better work with data?
5. Which skills do you think knowledge and library staff already possess that can support this area of work?
6. How do you think Artificial Intelligence might change our services in the future?
7. What development opportunities would you like to see to support extending our skills with data and digital work?

Join us at 12.30 on Tuesday 18th October for #ukmedlibs chat.
