“…The induction used footage from existing videos that was broken down into small sections to help orientate new library users, and it received a positive response. Duncan used a Web based virtual tour as an aid to inform students about the layout of the library whilst Mawson created an iPod tour. The iPod tour was an audio file which students were able to download and then recreate a tour for themselves at a more convenient time.…”

In most instances, inductions are the first time that users will be introduced to health library services. The time available in which to deliver library orientation sessions within a broader, Trust induction programme is often limited, and this can present challenges for health librarians. Inductions are a great marketing tool, and it is important that induction sessions make the right impact. Within a brief window of opportunity, the health librarian must impart key information to the inductees whilst ensuring the session is relevant and memorable. In this article, guest writer Nicola Healey, Library Manager of North Somerset Healthcare Library, discusses the range of approaches she and her colleagues have explored in delivering library inductions, explaining what worked, what did not and what areas still remain for development.
