Take Home Key Messages • CVHL is a network of networks. • The infrastructure of existing networks and consortia is essential to the operations of the CVHL. • Through national coordination efforts, costs are minimized and access is maximized. • CVHL will coordinate additional library services such as identifying, organizing and managing non-licensed resources while maintaining each library or library consortia’s brand and providing referral services back to local libraries. • CVHL will not disrupt existing consortia and network business models and practices. • The initial development of CVHL is funded by a three year grant from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR). This grant does not cover funding for licensed content. • The CVHL vision is to achieve equitable access to quality, vetted information for all Canadian health professionals through a sustainable business model. 12/22/10 15
