Aims and TOR LIS-STANDS – membership and use Purpose of the group To be a community of practice that shares ideas and best practice to establish common standards, develops skills and expertise and supports library staff to deliver high quality training and literature searches. Terms of reference - to be added to the HEE Library & Knowledge Services website

Aims To benchmark our services, develop KPI’s and use the value and impact toolkit to showcase the impact that training and literature search skills have. To create shared marketing and promote tools that can be customised and used by all. To learn from each other about approaches to literature searching and training via meetings, peer support, email discussion list and online repository. To act as a source of advice about literature searching and training to the wider NHS South network. To further develop synthesis and summarising skills so that all library staff are confident and able to deliver searches to support clinical and management decision making. To provide CPD opportunities for the members of the group. CPD will include training but also other ways of developing in role, for example, job-shadowing or buddying-up. In conjunction with local experts, maintain an overview of e-resource management in order to facilitate timely problem solving.

Structure, membership, accountability The group will be initially co-chaired by Sarah Lewis and Chris Johns for a period of 2 years. Subsequently the chair of the group will be selected by the group members for a period of 12 months. Membership of the group will be open to anyone in the South whose role includes (or it is anticipated will include) the creation of literature searches and/or the delivery of training. LKS staff from other regions in England will be welcome to be part of the shared email discussion list and can attend face-to-face meetings as observers. The group will meet 3 times a year. There will be a workshop for all across the South, and 2 local regional meetings in SW and TVW. The regional meetings will use the same agenda. Webinars will be scheduled as required. Strong communication links will be established with the SERC group and the CPD group. The group will report back to LKS managers in the South via the strategic management network with an annual report in April.
