| ABOUT THE NATIONAL LIBRARY FOR HEALTH
The mission of the National Library for Health (NLH) is to help patients and professionals use best current knowledge in decision-making. The library consists of three main resources:
1. Firstly, there is the commitment of 1,275 librarians who know the local communities, and their needs and priorities. The plan is for all healthcare organisations to identify a board member to be Chief Knowledge Officer, supported by a librarian acting as Knowledge Manager.
2. The second resource is the national digital knowledge base, a single source of knowledge catalogued, classified and organised so that it is not only easy to find but can be delivered through the media that are now available, for example digital laboratory reports, and e-prescriptions.
3. The third resource is the users, organised in communities of practice, which manage the National Specialist Libraries such as the National Library for Cancer or the National Library for Knowledge Management.
This National Library for Health has been created by bringing together a number of different resources, one of which was a digital resource called the National Library for Health Web Site. But NLH 2.0 is much more than that because it represents the collective knowledge and skill of those professionals whose commitment is to manage documents and knowledge to best effect.
In January 2007, the new front end was launched, providing a number of important new features, notably:
the National Library of Clinical Knowledge Summaries;
a wide range of National Specialist Libraries;
the My Library Service, allowing each user to build their own home page;
the Find a Librarian Service, which allows every healthcare professional to find their nearest library service |

| The Royal College of General Practitioner's (RCGP) website contains information primarily for GPs.
