I am very lucky. I work with a great team of people now, and I used to work with a great network of librarians in the North West. As part of my research the other day, I found a really interesting citation about some recent research which was conducted by the University of Leeds into Web 2.0 usage amongst medical students and practitioners.
Unfortunately neither my NHS or University Athens accounts gave me access to the resource that I needed, but a quick email to my colleagues in the North West saw that very item allocated and saved for my collection from my local health library the very same day. This is what health libraries do so brilliantly, helping and supporting users to find, consider, and use the resources that they need, and the North West has always had a very strong collaborative network which I hope will continue to operate in this way in the future.
For those who are interested, the article in question is:
