The Norwegian Electronic Health Library (Helsebiblioteket.no), established 2006, is a publicly funded web based knowledge service that provides Norwegian health workers with access to updated professional information and clinical decision tools.^[1]

This is done by

• providing free access to clinical point-of-care tools, electronic journals and databases through national subscriptions
• translating systematically reviewed research and making it accessible to Norwegian readers
• collecting web resources
• publishing news articles

The Norwegian Electronic Health Library provides access to new research, advice and guidelines from national authorities, as well as guidelines, advice, and procedures developed by renowned professional institutions. The library includes topic libraries for drugs, mental health, poisoning, quality assurance and public health.

The Norwegian Electronic Health Library is funded by Norway's National Budget and the four regional health authorities in Norway. It is run by The Norwegian Knowledge Centre for the Health Services^[2].

NHS Evidence is a similar public website for health professionals and students in the UK.
