During #KNOWvember22 we are sharing ideas, tips and lessons learned from a range of knowledge mobilisation initiatives. To start this mini-series of posts is a discussion about creating and using a knowledge asset.

Tips and progress with enabling smooth access to journal articles

Each year, as the leaves fall from the trees, we provide space and time to think about the important work knowledge and library specialists do to mobilise evidence and knowledge. We reiterate the need for evidence from research to be used to underpin all healthcare decision making. We also highlight the need to use learning from good practice and encourage ‘know-how’ and organisational knowledge to be shared and used, to inform improved care outcomes. This year the theme for #KNOWvmber22 is Sharing Knowledge – Breaking Down the Barriers and our focus is on how knowledge and library specialists contribute to sharing knowledge.

About the learning so far from the regional LMS projects
