The Library of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain (RPSGB) has launched a new, free online library, myLibrary, for registered pharmacists. This is the latest step in the evolution of the RPSGB's Library from a print-based resource to a fully-fledged hybrid library, where equal emphasis is placed on print- and electronic-based services alike.
myLibrary enables pharmacists to download whole articles from over 1,700 full-text journals, as well as search thousands of abstracted references to published articles in pharmacy, medicine and health. Using the search tools available, researchers will be able to locate information on subjects of interest to them. The resource also offers simplified access to the Library's document supply and enquiry services. It is currently available to registered pharmacists via myRPSGB, the secure members' area of the RPSGB's website.
The development of myLibrary is a direct result of a survey, carried out last year by the Library, in which pharmacists were asked which online information resources they used and what services they would like the RPSGB to provide online. The resounding response was a request for online full-text journals where articles are available to read in their entirety.
