Abstract
Coming soon to a theatre
near you…
This presentation outlines
the development of a multi-professional website – the Specialist
Library for Surgery, Theatres and Anaesthesia, part of the family
of NLH virtual libraries.
Within a context of partnership between two Royal Colleges,
an NHS Trust and the NLH, with input from a wide range of specialist
organisations, we will consider the issues arising from these relationships,
as well as looking at taxonomy creation, audience awareness and expectations,
the challenge of ‘participation fatigue', and whether information
professionals and clinicians can co-exist peacefully…
Presented with Tom
