I am often puzzled by all the requests for articles on lis-med. Do
other regions not have interlending schemes like we have across south of
England?
We can find out whether a library from Kent to Cornwall via Bucks has a
journal (members include NHS libraries, HE and FE libraries plus others
such as hospice libraries) then we are members of NULJ for nursing
journals and PLCS - Psychiatric Libraries Co-op Scheme. Then we go to
the BL only using lis-med as a last resort. The amount of traffic on
this subject does make it feel like some people use lis-med as a first
resort.

Subject: List of NHS England journals
I think Chris Hand's suggestion of a national journal holdings list for
NHS-England would be excellent. - (But would the publishers start to
put up
their prices if we get too organised?).
The only other problem I could see, would be single-working library
staff
who may not be able to cope if inundated with requests....
However, we have definitely been told we are covered to copy articles
for
other NHS staff.....
Best wishes
