"The National Library for Health website as of yesterday now offers a single search environment that will integrate the 'national' and 'local' information resources of 500 NHS library services across England. The search engine provides an easy-to-use interface for new or experienced library users, offering them a choice of standard (keyword) or advanced searching (using Boolean terms). Behind the scenes, the software searches across a variety of resources including websites, grey literature, physical resources and full text journals, making information retrieval quicker for time-poor clinicians or librarians.
