The results of our recent review included Libraries as a minor comment
within the resources and processes chapter.

"Library facilities are available to staff with access to databases such
as Medline and the Cochrane Collaboration"

We did see the inspectors but on a very informal basis.

I have used the profile of the report as a peg for promoting all the
other things we have to offer.

>>       Hello
>>       I'm still looking at CHI reviews for the individual trusts as
>>       they come out.  It seems to me that the themes which were
>>       published on the HLG website in the autumn last year, then in
>>       the HLG newsletter, are still coming out in the reports, though
>>       the particular topics covered, and the depth of that coverage,
>>       seem to vary greatly between trust.  Important areas which tend
>>       to be looked at are still Internet/intranet access to
>>       information, library opening hours, training available and staff
>>       helpfulness.

>>       I was wondering if it would be valuable to try to bring together
>>       people's experience several months on - has a CHI report caused
>>       change (positive or negative) in organisations, were the
>>       reviewers accurate in what they said, and would those who have
>>       experienced a review and an action plan wish to pass on the
>>       benefits of that experience to others?

>>       collate experience for future publication, perhaps in another
>>       HLG newsletter.
