The Library and Knowledge Service has joined a consortium of 19 NHS trusts across the North West to implement a new, joint library management system. This will go live on Wednesday 27th September 2023. More details coming soon!

Spotlight on ... new library catalogue

​The Library & Knowledge Service is part of a new consortium of 19 NHS libraries across the North West of England (known as NoW) who are working together to provide library services. From Wednesday 27th September we will be moving to a new joint library management system.
 
What does this mean for ECT staff?
All our current library members will be automatically registered on the new NoW system. You will be able to borrow 12 items, and books will be automatically renewed 5 times. You can request books from any of the 19 libraries and collect them from here. If you move to another NoW trust, you can keep your library account, no need to re-register.
 
From Thursday 28th September the new catalogue can be searched at https://now.koha-ptfs.co.uk. Logins and further information will be sent out next week to existing library members.
 
Contact us if you have any questions about the new system or would like to join.
