St. Vincent’s Healthcare Group Limited - Annual Review 2007 Library & Information Services Department Staff The staff complement in SVUH remained at 3 full time posts and 1 part time. Mary Flynn resigned her post of Evening Library Assistant in May and was replaced by Julia Christopher in September to provide late opening hours for the academic year 2007/8. Breda Bennett continued to provide a one-person-operated professional library and information service in St Michael’s Hospital. Service Developments/Activities SVUH Library recorded 19,757 visits in 2007. The introduction of swipe-card access to the corridors of the ERC in September has reduced the number of visitors slightly but has provided secure access to the premises for authorised users. Update SVHG Libraries launched Update in March. This occasional newsletter aims to provide news and information about the library and information services to the Group and was published 3 times in its first year. Responses have been very favourable and a full review including customer satisfaction surveys will be carried out in 2008. Heritage Library Management System The online public access catalogue was made available on the Intranet in July and formally launched by Mr Murtagh in St Michael's Hospital. Group staff are now able to search the joint SVHG catalogue, reserve items, extend their loans, gain electronic access to databases and journals and contact the library at their convenience. St Michael's Hospital Usage of the library was constant during the year. There are 456 library members. The Librarian participated in Orientation meetings for NCHDs and nursing students, the IHSAB Accreditation scheme and the hospital newsletter. She participated in Group Library & Information Services Committee and the Department Heads meetings. 2 printers were upgraded. All PCs were upgraded and there are 6 available for public use. A binding machine and a scanner were acquired for the library. St Vincent’s Private Hospital Mr Peter Sheehan continued to represent the Hospital on the Group Library & Information Services Committee. Return to Contents 120
Department - Library & Information Services Collection Development Print Journals: SVUH Library subscribed to 123 journal titles in the areas of medicine, surgery, nursing and allied health at a cost of €62,337.07. This is joint funded by the hospital and UCD. Over 60 titles were also received on donation. SMH Library subscribed to 57 journal titles at a cost of €30,000. Journals were donated by the Biochemistry Laboratory. Books: This year SVUH Library doubled its spend on new books to €8,023.20 and purchased some titles on leadership and management in support of HR and senior management initiatives. SMH spent €3826 and books were donated by the Respiratory Department. Electronic Resources: The main focus for the SVHG library service in 2007 was in developing its electronic resources. The SwetsWise system, which allows staff to log in to one website and then link out to all the Group’s electronic journals and databases, proved problematic over the year and was replaced in December with Ebsco AtoZ. The implementation of the Athens system in February was of much greater success and allows SVHG staff remote access to the electronic journals and databases. To date over 400 staff have registered for an Athens account. Library staff trialled a number of additional electronic resources in the summer and identified three new products which they hope to get funding for in 2008: MD Consult, Cinahl Full Text and UpToDate. Many thanks to all the clinical staff who participated in the trials. The Group provided access to over 80 electronic journal titles. The UCD/ERC server located in SVUH Library provided access to most healthcare databases and 15,000 fulltext journals. Interlibrary Loans SVUH Library: 565 journal articles and books were requested from other libraries: 65 were from the British Library; 332 were from Subito; and 168 from the network of Irish Healthcare Libraries (IHL). The Library supplied 285 to other Hospital libraries nationwide. The overall cost of ILLs for the year was €3,052.76. SMH Library requested 31 journal articles from various libraries. 18 were requested from members of the IHL network and 13 from the British Library. SMH supplied 12 articles to other libraries during the year. Return to Contents 121
