You now know the decision of the National Core Content Group on which companies are to be awarded the national contract. On Tuesday at the LIHNN/HCLU briefing I will explain the decision process used by the evaluation team.
I realise that the change from one supplier to another and from one interface to another is a big change. Some points to assure you.
* Resources will be accessed via ADITUS
* Current ADITUS usernames and passwords will be transferred to DIALOG. Athens will be introduced later in the year
* E-learning resources on how to use the new resource will be available from 1st April
* Guides will be available for downloading
* Training has been organised for all NHS librarians throughout March
* HCLU will continue to purchase some resources from OVID including the Oxford Textbook of Medicine
* I am waiting confirmation on how saved searches will be transferred
With regards
Colin
