Library management
system for North West England
Library services provider to NHS organisations in North West England,
Fade, is replacing its current library management system with Softlink’s
Liberty3.
The firm, which provides library services to the Liverpool PCTs and
Cheshire and Merseyside SHAs and doesn’t often make investments in library
software, wanted a system that would stand them in good stead for the
future. “We chose Liberty3 as being far and away the next generation of
software; it’s helping us to prepare he service for where we want it to be
in two or three years’ time”, said Kieran Lamb, Fade’s Library Services
Manager.
“We have around 15,000 items in stock but ours isn’t a service where
users generally visit in person. We aim instead to deliver the library to
primary care staff using electronic delivery or the postal network. With
Liberty3, District nurses, GPs and health visitors will be able to use any
web-enabled computer to search our system at any time, day or night. It’s
also useful for our staff. I myself split my time between different
offices and it’s crucial to be able to access the library system easily
from wherever I’m based.”
