In June 2015 Sheila Webber and Marshall Dozier gave a workshop on Running a Journal Club, at the EAHIL+ICAHIS+ICLC 2015 conference held in Edinburgh, Scotland. The powerpoint and handout are available here and the handout is also embedded below. The handout has a bibliography of articles about librarian journal clubs and journal clubs in the healthcare sector (as well as listing the links given below). We thought it would be useful to have the links to journal club websites etc. available online for easy clicking, so here they are:
