The NHS National Core Content provides core electronic information resources to NHS staff and students in England. It aims to establish an efficient, multi-professional electronic knowledge base to support education, training and better patient care. The collection includes databases, e-journals, e-books and images. Resources are accessed using Athens authentication and include MEDLINE, CINAHL and journals from ProQuest. The Core Content replaces many regionally purchased resources, creating savings for both libraries and end users.
'Collaboration to show impact of information skills training ' - Stepen Ayres, of the George Eliot Hospital NHS Trust, spoke to the CDG National Conference in Birmingham on 18 July 2012 about how NHS Library trainers in the Midlands overcame the problem of small sample sizes in research projects by combining their research activities and aggregating results
Libraries are increasingly being called upon to extend
access to their online resources to users beyond their
core constituencies. Every institution has its own unique
arrangements, but they all raise similar questions for the
library: are these users included under our existing licences
or are separate ones needed? Will we have to pay more, and
if so, how much? Where can I go for advice? Learn about the
guidelines Jisc Collections has developed, and hear from
two librarians who have successfully implemented their own
solutions: Anna Franca on KCL’s work with an NHS Trust
and Ruth Dale on Nottingham’s overseas campuses.
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Open Access in the UKTorsten Reimer
This presentation was given at the Open Access Tage 2014 in Cologne, Germany. It
1) gives an overview of the OA policy context in the UK,
2) outlines how a research-intensive university (Imperial College London) addresses the issues with around the policies and
3) summarises the latest data available on OA publishing activity, in particular issues around hybrid journals.
Do you have a question that library analytics data can answer? Do you know what to ask or where to find the answers? And what to do with the answers once you have them? This session will present real-life questions from real-life users that the growing suite of library analytics tools available to UK libraries has helped them answer. You will hear questions, methods, answers, how the information received has been put into practice, and what benefits have resulted.
The main challenges facing universities and authors in moving to OA for journal articles are achieving compliance, managing costs, and realising the benefits of OA. This session will outline Jisc services that help, from submission of an article, through acceptance, to publication and use. It will show how these services build on existing infrastructure, where possible, to provide a solution that, while tailored to UK circumstances, is more widely applicable.

Collection development is big business and how academic libraries decide to invest in content is radically changing. This is being driven as much by new approaches to organisational design, relationship management, and data insight in universities as by changes to business models and technology in scholarly publishing and the supply chain. Based on recent experience at Edinburgh, Manchester and Northumbria, this participatory session will explore new strategies for collection development, and specifically address challenges and opportunities faced by libraries that have moved or are transitioning from traditional subject librarian roles.
Symplectic training event for National Heart and Lung Institute – how to deposit your research manuscript and make it open access.
Symplectic Elements and Spiral are systems that work together to support individual academics and research staff in recording, reporting and showcasing their academic activities and outputs.
This training session will be an introduction and refresher to postdocs, fellows and PAs on how to deposit newly accepted publications into Symplectic in order to meet the open access requirements of the Research Excellence Framework (REF). Final year PhD students are welcome to sign-up but given training capacity limitation, priority will be given to postdocs, fellows and PAs.
In addition we will show you how to link you publications to research grants and your ORCiD.
Modern research metrics and new models of evaluation have risen high on the academic agenda in the last few years. In this session two UK institutions who have adopted such metrics across their faculty will share their motivations and experiences of doing so, and explain further how they are integrating these data into existing models of review and analysis.
Value in numbers: A Shared Approach to Measuring Usage and Impact JUSPSTATS

Wrong, incomplete or inaccurate metadata affects the performance
of system-based library operations and the services libraries
propose to library patrons. Using concrete examples, we will
present the day-to-day difficulties librarians and library users
encounter due to poor quality metadata and their impact on
access, decision making and discovery. This session will contribute
to the general discussion about poor quality metadata, aiming
to illustrate how important it is for the publishing and library
community to have a good set of metadata for electronic resources
circulating in the supply chain.

“The future depends on what you do today”: evolving subject support in UCD Li...Diarmuid Stokes
University College Dublin (UCD) library website for many years supported its users by providing subject support to over 50 different disciplines, through the development of webpages containing subject lists of databases, useful websites and other related materials. These lists were created and using HTML and had to be individually maintained and developed. This presentation looks at what happened when UCD Library evaluated the effectiveness and sustainability of these resources and how Libguides were used to evolve and manage and extend subject support. This presentation will also look at how Libguides are being used to extend subject support beyond the library website and potential plans for further development.

Rhys Whelan's presentation
Improving health literacy levels can enhance treatment outcomes, save time and cut costs. At NELFT, we are undertaking a pilot project to improve the health literacy of staff, patients and the wider communities we serve. We have partnered with local libraries and the Reading Agency to run high-street health information drop-ins. These events raise awareness of the evidence-based Reading Well book collections and signpost members of the public to accessible, peer-reviewed digital resources like the NHS app and the NHS ‘Behind the Headlines’ health news analysis. Future aims of the project include a health literacy e-learning module and reflective workshops.

2. A national project
• The idea for a national service was agreed
early in 2002 and launched in April 2003
• The national core content was intended to
replace the majority of the resources that were
being purchased on a regional basis.
• The savings made are not just on costs but on
staff time as well (both librarians and end users
who do not have to retrain on different
systems)
NHS England
3. What is the aim of the NHS
National Core Content?
To deliver core
electronic
information services
to NHS staff and

better patient care.
The key objectives are:
• To establish a multi-professional
electronic resource base for the NHS;
• To establish an efficient access
management system for the resource
base;
• To procure resources efficiently and cost-
effectively;
• To promote equity of access to the
electronic resource base;
• To promote effective and increasing
usage of the resource base;
• To align the resource base with key NHS
policy initiatives,
• To work closely with other national
electronic libraries, e.g. the NLH and
National Knowledge Service.
NHS England
4. Who is it for?
• The Core Content is
for everyone working
for the NHS in
England.
