Workplace Education Program Fosters a New Generation of Health Librarians

Abstract

This article depicts a current approach implemented in a health service in Melbourne, Australia. It outlines a Library Cadetship that has been designed for graduates as an entry level paid position coupled with a workplace training program. Reflections from the employer and incumbent Cadets point to the success of the program. This example provides evidence for new entry level positions, enriched by workplace training in health sciences libraries.
