19 ECDL Health Doc towards a driving license in information documentation for health professionals

Pilot course organized by IRE, AICA, ISS - Rome, 4,5,12,19 March 2014

Objective: Provide Medical Staff certified skills on :

• Information sources and seaching methodology of electronic archives • Open archives • Quality of online information Research evaluation • Scientific writing • Social networks

All these skills include GL

20 Final recommendations

• Create awareness on GL value among all stakeholders • Push the researchers as producers of GL (data, reports) to share their research output online • Link GL with OA and movement to clear up the old dust traditionally associated with GL and show its full value together with all the other primary sources of information
