My Library

Phase 3 concepts

Personalisation

This programme aims to:• Allows NHS librarians to open a shop front for local services within My Library• Incorporate CPD tools for reflective practice within My Library• Develop a channels architecture so that individuals can expose My Library content in other

environments• Remove some of the barriers to accessing relevant NHS knowledge services by delivering

knowledge filtered by individual preference

Key aspects of this programme are:– developing the service offer – cross-team collaboration within the NHS Institute team– communications with library community – establishment of pilot sites within the NHS and use of NHS III methodology – iterative development using feedback from pilot sites – use of User Experience Design expertise – interaction with wider e-learning initiatives in the NHS and HE

Lead: Steve Ashwell

Introducing channels

Library services have been offering channels for years:• Current Awareness Bulletins• SDI search results• Library and departmental notice boards• Newspaper cuttings services

The Personalisation programme aims to make My Library a platform where users can discover and subscribe to content from local libraries. The examples like the list above and more could be offered via RSS.

Synopsis:• The relationship between search and personalisation and some

examples of what they can do for each other.

A reading history – useful for capturing CPD activity

Extending personalised search

• Save it for myself• Save for myself and tag it• Email it to a colleague• Copy it to clipboard to paste into a document• Export it in RIS format for personal bibliographic software• Annotate it with comments• Share it publicly with my annotation and tags for people to discover• Share it amongst a “group” I have selected for discussion or group

appraisal• Appraise it and share my appraisal with my mentor – and allow my mentor

to leave comments• Appraise it and publish my appraisal within a moderated online clinical

community for members of that community (including clinical librarians) to leave comments

Question Answering

Synopsis:

Many questions arise when considering to embed a question answering service into My Library

• What are the requirements for question answering?• What workflow considerations are important?• How might this relate to existing services?• What training implications does it raise?• New possibilities (editorially and community driven): “Question of

the week”, “Hot topics”, “Rate this answer”

Questions Answering Workflow
