Resource of the Week: KnowledgeShare

Each week the Trust library service will be promoting a different product available for all members of staff.

This week it is KnowledgeShare:

Ø      KnowledgeShare is our new targeted current awareness service which will help to keep YOU up to date with the latest high-level evidence in YOUR field

Ø      How it works: we create your KnowledgeShare profile to be as broad or as specific as you need.  For example, you could receive everything published on obstetrics or limit to receive only items related to gestational diabetes

Ø      What’s included?: guidelines, policies and a wide range of summarised evidence is added so that you will not be inundated with primary research articles

KnowledgeShare interest forms are available in the Trust libraries and are also on our website: www.mtwlibrary.nhs.uk

Please email gm.e.mtw-tr.library@nhs.net or visit one of the Trust libraries for further information
