Information Portals & Web 2.0 Technologies The South Tees approach Hugh Hanchard South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
WHY? • Provide a current awareness tool • Maximise journal usage • Could be tailored for individuals or departments • Would be available when THEY wanted to look at it • Aid their CPD
WHAT • RSS feeds from journals available as full-text (some journals have more than one feed) • RSS feeds from NLH/NHS Evidence • RSS feeds for training events • Relevant web links (using Delicious) • Could also link to a wiki or blog
How Pages tailored for each directorate • Created Netvibes page • Searched for relevant feeds, links and content • Populated page with content • Published page and asked for feedback • Actioned feedback
Delicious • Access bookmarks/favourites over the Internet • Share bookmarks with others • Organise bookmarks with tags • Display bookmarks relevant to the dept/directorate • Use it to collate links from training you’ve conducted
Issues/Results • Unable to easily measure hit-rates • Netvibes can be slow to load • Needs occasional check of feeds • Feedback was excellent
Do you think Web 2 technologies… • Have little potential for NHS Libraries? • Have great potential but will only appeal to the more technically literate? • Have great potential and will appeal to most customers
