NEW ONLINE SEARCH ENVIRONMENT FOR NHS CLINICIANS
The NHS has started a project that will deliver a single search environment, integrating local and national information resources of NHS library services across England. This new information service will provide clinicians, including doctors, consultants and nurses, with a single place to go to search popular resources such as BMJ’s Clinical Evidence and The Cochrane Library, through a national website. It’ll be able to pinpoint their whereabouts in the UK and then display local resources that are relevant them, delivering ‘intelligent’ information to the clinicians. This is one of the first projects from the emerging National Library of Health, with the first phase to be launched in November 2004 as part of the Health Libraries Week. Further developments will be made from April 2005 onwards. www.helpisathand.gov.uk/news/e-gov/nhs/
