Health Information & Libraries Journal (HILJ)

Health Information & Libraries Journal is a leading scholarly journal dedicated to advancing research and practice at the intersection of health, information science, and library services. Established in 2001 as a continuation of the earlier Health Libraries Review, the journal provides a vital forum for rigorous, peer‑reviewed research that informs how health information is accessed, managed, evaluated, and used by professionals in healthcare settings, academic institutions, and community environments. With a quarterly publication schedule, the journal disseminates high‑quality articles that address key topics including health information behaviour, evidence‑based information practices, information retrieval and systems design, information literacy for professionals and the public, and the role of library services in supporting patient care, clinical decision‑making, and health research. Its international and interdisciplinary scope attracts contributions from librarians, information scientists, health informaticians, and educators, fostering dialogue around best practices and innovative approaches to organizing, delivering, and evaluating information services in a rapidly evolving digital landscape. As the official publication of the Health Libraries Group under the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals, Health Information & Libraries Journal bridges scholarly research with real‑world applications aimed at improving health information access and services worldwide.
