The resources previously available via the National Library for Health can still be accessed - either by clicking on the "Conduct a specialist search" button on the NHS Evidence home page or by going directly to http://www.library.nhs.uk
The 33 specialist libraries which existed within the old National Library for Health are still available, under the new name of "specialist collections." They focus on health problems, specific patient groups and aspects of health services (including health management).
