The following resources on the NHS Wales E-library have been restored to the e-library :
OVID databases – Medline, Embase, Psychinfo, AMED (Allied & Complementary Medicine), British Nursing Index, and HMIC (Health Management Info Consortium)
Ebsco Host – CINAHL (Nursing & Allied Health) and Medline (you might find the OVID version of Medline more user friendly than this version)
BMJ Journals
Science Direct – please note, NHS Wales only subscribes to a dozen or so titles via Science Direct’s ejournals collection
Clinical Evidence
EMX Journals (was Emerald Journals)
NHS Wales e-journals – we don’t have details of all the available titles yet, but most of the titles we had access to earlier this year, should still be available. Check the e-journals homepage (http://www.wales.nhs.uk/sites3/page.cfm?orgid=520&pid=12531) for links to individual titles. We’re hoping that the list of available ejournals will be updated shortly.
Accessing the e-resources
The homepage for the NHS Wales e-library (www.wales.nhs.uk/ehl) hasn’t yet been updated with details about, and access links to, the restored resources. The easiest way to access the resources until the e-library’s homepage has been updated is via your NHS Wales Athens user account (www.athensams.net/myathens) – if you don’t have an Athens account, or your current Athens account has expired, please contact me and I will create or update your account.
Powys staff also have access to the MyiLibrary collection of electronic textbooks, and Ebsco Host EJS which provides electronic access to approximately 25 of the journals we subscribe to in Powys. Both can be accessed via your Athens account.
Please contact the Library if you have any questions about any of the e-library’s resources.

New Online Library Catalogue for Powys LHB
The Library has a new online catalogue, Voyager, which you can now use to check to see what books, journals etc that we hold. You can access Voyager from work or home by going to http://library.cf.ac.uk
Voyager is the combined Cardiff University and All Wales NHS Libraries catalogue, so you'll not only see what we hold, but also what is available via other NHS Wales Libraries and Cardiff University Libraries. If we don't hold the item you want here in Powys, but another NHS Wales Library or Cardiff University Library does, the Library here is able to request a copy for you via our network. If you can't find the item on Voyager you can still request it via the Library here, as we also have links to other UK Library networks including the British Library.
For details on how to search Voyager, go to the Library's website at http://www.wales.nhs.uk/sites3/page.cfm?orgid=501&pid=11926 where you'll find links to Voyager and a guide to using Voyager, or contact the Library at Bronllys for further details and assistance.
We still have a few items to add to Voyager, such as our collections of journals and electronic textbooks, but they will also be listed on Voyager within the next few weeks.
