How? Mission of Bibliosalut

11
How?
Here are some examples of information
technologies (IT) in our digital library…

12
IT >>> Web site and content management system (CMS)

13
• In a digital library it is considered essential to have a remote
access system that allows the users to work with the resources and
services of the library outside their workplace.
• Increase the use of the library. In this way we are able to increase
the returns of the budget invested in the digital library.
IT >>> Remote access management
Traditional library
Inside access
Outside access
Any time, any place, anywhere

14

15
It is possible to create a
consortium for several
centers, with general
resources for all users, and
specific resources for one or
more hospitals or user
groups.

16
The remote access system of
Bibliosalut is OpenAthens LA.
With LDAP connection, the
authentication is with the
same keys used to access
the intranet, with no specific
keys for the digital library.

17
IT >>> Link resolver

18
IT >>> Link resolver

19
IT >>> A-Z list and link resolver

20
IT >>> Document Supply Service
Objectives (2008)
• To democratize the access to documents
• To centralize and automate the Document Supply Service.
Only one DSS for all the health professionals of the Public
Health System of Balearic Islands

request a document…

26

the system can suggest a
possible answer.

28

29

30
It is possible to use set
answers to reply to the
questions.

31
IT >>> Discovery (very soon)

32
IT >>> Dissemination of Bibliosalut
It is imperative to have a good and fast
communication channel with users
• The presence of Bibliosalut in the social networks reinforces the
corporate image, bringing their services to all users and opening
the possibility of feedback
• In addition an RSS feed is also available
• We are working on the design of a system to send newsletters to
disseminate interesting information to the users
• We have the hashtag #PublicaSalutIB to disseminate
information about scientific production of our researchers
A good service without good publicity is NOTHING

33
IT >>> Statistical system
A good service without publicity of the results is NOWHERE

34
IT >>> A health information portal
Infosalut is a channel of Bibliosalut
to disseminate information of our
institution
• We want direct participation of the different institutions of the
Public Health System of Balearic Islands and their professionals
• Information about: scientific news, courses, events, etc.
• An instrument for Knowledge Management
