Wolters Kluwer Health has announced the winners of its 2013 'Health Science Librarians Make a Difference,' video contest. With this initiative, Wolters Kluwer Health seeks to recognise the value medical librarians bring to their medical schools, hospitals and other healthcare institutions globally. All the winning videos and a selection of other entries are available to view on the Wolters Kluwer Health YouTube Channel: www.youtube.com/woltersKluwerlibrariancontest.
The video contest was designed to help medical librarians promote their services and resources to the doctors, nurses, residents, faculty and students they support. Finalists were judged on the basis of creativity and originality, quality, and content of the message.
Winners received cash prize grants for their videos selected by a panel of clinicians, medical librarians and publishers, including representatives from Wolters Kluwer Health and outside experts.
Video entries came from librarians all over the world, including the United States, Canada and Europe. Each 3-minute video showed how their library helps to improve patient care, demonstrates institutional leadership, or contributes to the global healthcare community. Entries were judged on the basis of creativity and originality, quality, and message content. Contest judges included an expert panel of clinicians and medical librarians, as well as publishers of Wolters Kluwer Health medical and nursing journals.
