Aim:
The aim of the Chasing the Sun
service is to
provide an after business hours on-line professional reference service for patient care. The
service takes advantage of
global time differences between countries to offer out-of-hours librarian
support for clinicians.
The initial participants in this project were the South Australian Health Services
Libraries' Consortium (SAHSLC) and the South West
Information for Clinical Effectiveness (SWICE) network but the
intention is to involve other regions around the world to ensure reliability
of the service. This will serve to broaden the time range available and
enhance the reference expertise in responding quickly and accurately to
queries from users. A list of participating libraries can be found under
the Membership link. Health libraries
or groups of health libraries interested in learning more about the service
should contact the administrators, whose details can be found in the
Librarians' information
brochure. |
