Visit Digitized Archives Online Coming Soon: New Library Search InterfaceThe Archives at St. Michael’s Hospital are excited to announce

80 newsletters from the Alumnae of St. Michael's School of Nursing have been digitized! We invite you to experience the

collection for yourself and share the collection with colleagues, family, or friends who might enjoy this historical content. These

newsletters are filled with a wealth of information relating to the nursing graduates and Canadian nursing and healthcare

history. Visit the collection here: bit.ly/smharchive. If you have any questions about the collection, please reach out to our

archivist Teruko.Kishibe@unityhealth.ca

After a year of gathering data, conducting thorough analysis, and negotiating with

vendors and publishers, Library Services has reached the final steps in collection

harmonization across Unity Health Toronto! Throughout January 2021, each site will gain

access to significantly more resources, and will see greater equity of access to core

resources for all staff and physicians. Check out the NEW resources coming to each site

below; also, refer to the graphics to appreciate collection percentage growth at each site

resulting from this harmonization work

Library Services is excited to introduce a new web interface that will allow users to search all library material, both print and

electronic, across all three Unity Health Toronto sites. This new search experience will significantly enhance the discoverability of

library material and simplify access to resources. It will also enable users to request library print materials (e.g. books) from other sites to be delivered to them at their primary site location.

In addition to these features, users will also have the ability to sign-in to a personal account to place holds, view check-outs, and save materials. Stay tuned for this exciting new search interface

in early 2021
