In “Simplify Access to Hospital Library Resources with Technology,” Judy Kraemer offered several useful suggestions for hospital librarians who wish to improve access to library resources via an ILS and their web site. The ultimate result of her efforts was a successful merger of an OPAC, link resolver, and federated search engine via the hospital Intranet.
Kraemer stressed the importance of securing upper level management approval for work on such an extensive project; the need to be flexible as reporting structures change; the urgency of developing systems that can expand across networks over time, and stay within budgets. Many people in the room could relate to her practical and motivating presentation.
