THE SOCIAL
CARE ONLINE – A RESOURCE FOR SOCIAL CARE
Karen Winchester, Information Manager,
Social Care Institute for Excellence (SCIE)
Launched by the Social Care
Institute for Excellence (SCIE) in 2005, Social Care Online is a
comprehensive online database of information and research on all
aspects of social care. It is freely available at:
http://www.scie-socialcareonline.org.uk/default.asp
and is one of the ways in which SCIE aims to provide better access
to information and knowledge resources in the field of social care
for those working in or using social care services. As well as
covering the core areas of social work and social care, the
database also includes material supporting areas such as health,
housing, criminal justice, and social policy. This article looks
at the early origins of Social Care Online, its development and
maintenance, and its relevance to health care.
AN EXPERIENCE OF USER EXPERIENCE DESIGN (UED) IN PERSONALISATION
AND COLLABORATION
Steven Ashwell, Acting Head of
Development, National Library for Health
This paper is a distillation of
an interactive session I ran at the
HLG Conference 2008 event in Cardiff and my own thoughts and
observations on work I lead for the National Library for Health (NLH)
in the Personalisation and Collaboration programme during 2007 and
2008. It describes the process of User Experience Design (UED) and
its application to the design of new services for the NLH.
