Tom Bishop

Tom Bishop is Information Services Manager at The Royal College of Surgeons of England library, where he's worked since 2000 (having royal-college-hopped from the RCN) meeting the information needs of surgeons, surgical trainees and College staff, with particular involvement in the development of access to electronic journals and resources. He likes webby stuff (usually), library and information staff (universally), Portsmouth FC (nail-bitingly), buying CDs (compulsively), CBeebies (paternally), jaffa cakes (obviously) and unstructured lists.


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 Kate Homer
