In 2012 successful application was made to the Anne Harrison Award to undertake a census of Australian health library and information services (LIS) and self-described health librarians working outside the traditional library setting. The primary aims of this project were to: conduct the census, report publicly on the data collected, make the census replicable for the future, and develop and make available a web-based data collection and reporting system for both current and future use.

A secondary outcome was the development of an online directory of Australian health library and information services.
