This document summarizes the Health Library and Information Services Directory project which involves consolidating data from several existing directories into a single online database. The directory will provide information about library and information services across the UK and Ireland for healthcare professionals and the public. The project will proceed in two phases: first importing and consolidating existing data, then developing the interface and populating the new database. Network editors will be responsible for updating entries for libraries within their networks.

- 13. Allocating Entries There arefour elements to this: • Comparing the pre-cursor database with network directories • New entries from your directories • Negotiations on those entries in our directory but not in yours • Duplicates where entries are on two of yours
- 14. Stages for dataentry Stage 1 Basic fields from the old print directory and the ‘Libraries for nurses’ website will be added to the entry: library name, organisation, post code, address, tel, fax, email, weblinks and Athens ID. Editors will be asked to update those fields and then the entry can go live Stage 2 The rest of the fields to be added when possible

Editor's Notes
- #5 The printed directory was for LIS staff. Libraries for Nurses website obviously for nurses Now it will be visible to anyone, so we needed to think about the implications of that.
- #8 The fields were agreed at two workshops in March last year. We decided that, rather than having different views for different users, we would have one view for all. But that we’d have a summary record which will be effectively page 1 for the general fields. To get to the more librariany fields you would go to the full record
- #11 This is the internal communication strategy. We will also publicize the directory to HLIS staff. Thought needs to be given later on about publicizing beyond that.
- #13 Entries to be allocated to pilots – London, KSS, North West – February/March. The rest by March, maybe a few earlier. May be in tranches- obvious first. Once editors know, if you wish you can start gathering updated info. We have produced a form. Anticipated thatby March the Editors’ Log in will be arranged, entries lists will be sent and editors will be able to update basic fields. New entries/Full Records will be added from March/April and will be ongoing
- #14 I’ve been doing a lot of work on this. 1st – where there’s a match the entry will be allocated to the network for updating 2nd – New entries will be added by a Super User and allocated to you 3rd – If entries don’t fit anywhere a Super User will take responsibility for them. 4th – Overlaps in two directories (Sometimes in 1 directory!) Often NHS covering academic entries. An initial allocation will be made but it will not be set in stone.
- #15 We will transfer basic contact details and they could be updated first. Then the entry can go live. After that the rest can be added at any time.
- #25 Sum up …. Now we can have a look at the basic system that has been developed. It’s dummy data so safe to play with!
