APDIS Meeting -“As Bibliotecas da Saúde: que futuro?" | 27th and 28th March
Venue:Aula Magna of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Lisbon
The 9th APDIS Meeting: “As Bibliotecas da Saúde: que futuro?” (Health Libraries: what future?) intends to be a space for reflection about the future of libraries in the field of health and, consequently, of the professionals who work in them, given the current complexity of approaches in accessing technical and scientific information.
Technological advances and the ease of access to medical information through the Internet and different media led to new paradigms, both with regard to the context in which libraries operate (universities, hospitals, medical teams, clinical laboratories, pharmaceutical laboratories, etc.), and to the skills and profile of heath information professionals.
The APDIS Meetings are a privileged opportunity for librarians and other information professionals in the field of health sciences from different institutions, often geographically apart, to discuss and deepen concepts, and refer and analyse best practices in this area.
