Manchester health libraries unite
NHS trusts in Greater Manchester have joined forces to enable staff and medical students to see catalogue information from 28 libraries located in its hospitals across the region.
The 17 trusts have used a tailored version of OLIB, the integrated library software, to collect all the catalogue information and make it available in a single catalogue.
Users will have access to the catalogue, which contains listings for 30,000 books and reports, through WebView, a web-based interface.
"The project is about ensuring that all Greater Manchester NHS staff and students can access the evidence base and information services that they need, at a convenient location," said Jean Williams, library services manager at Royal Bolton Hospital, and project lead for Greater Manchester Health Libraries Online Public Access Catalogue (GMOPAC).
The decision to create the single catalogue was made as part of a wider programme, the Greater Manchester Health Libraries Project.
