Twelve health sciences libraries collaborated to create HealthWeb, an organized, annotated collection of Internet resources. This project enhances access to reliable health information for a global audience, serving as a model for future digital library initiatives.

Area of Science:

  • Library and Information Science
  • Digital Health Resources
  • Collaborative Information Management

Background:

  • The Internet presents a vast, yet unorganized, repository of health information.
  • Health sciences libraries recognized the need for a curated and accessible online resource.
  • Existing information access methods were insufficient for the international health sciences community.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish a collaborative project for organizing and enhancing access to Internet resources.
  • To create a comprehensive, robust, and sustainable information product through library cooperation.
  • To develop a model for other collaborative Internet projects in the health sciences.

Main Methods:

  • Formation of the HealthWeb project involving twelve health sciences libraries.
