First-in-Canada Virtual Health Library established

The Canadian Health Libraries Association is pleased to announce, in conjunction with the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), the development of the groundbreaking Canadian Virtual Health Library (CVHL). The CVHL, which is funded by CIHR through its Knowledge Synthesis and Exchange Branch for $800,000 over three years, aims to provide all Canadian health professionals - administrators, policy and program planners, researchers and public health workers as well as doctors nurses and other clinicians - easy access to current, authoritative information and expert support from the network of libraries contributing to CVHL.

The CVHL will build a pan-Canadian virtual client-centric network to link local, regional and provincial health library services and maximize resources through coordinated resource sharing and licensing. A bilingual web portal will provide an easy entry point to these resources and to library expertise. The result will be a tailored, rapid response to health professionals’ requirements for evidence-based information to support patient care decisions, health promotion and public health programming.
