The Knowledge Network encompases and superceeds the original NHS Scotland e-Library.

The Knowledge Network provides:

  •  A wealth of 12 million information and learning resources from more than 100 providers. This includes collections of articles, books and journals, guidelines, policy documents, resources for patients and service users, evaluated websites and e-learning courses.
  • A personal webspace. You can select your own collections of content and features to create your own My Home page on The Knowledge Network. Here you can choose Quick Links, e-Learning, Journals, and many other services. A Feeds Library allows you to choose newsfeeds to help you to keep up to date in your area of interest. The "What is here for me?" section allows you to choose collections of resources defined for different workforce groups and topics. My Resource Space also allows you to save and organize your personal collections of resources and to share them with others via email or tagging.
  • Online community tools, accessible through My Community Space, to help groups of health and social services staff and partners to work and learn together. They can create their own community websites and collaborative workspaces to share information and learning resources as well as personal knowledge and experience. My Community Space provides Web 2.0 tools including wikis, blogs, discussion forums, tagging and personal profiles.
