The Canadian Forces Virtual Library (CFVL)
Sarah Toomey · Journal of Hospital Librarianship · 2008
This article describes the development and growth of the Canadian Forces Virtual Library (CFVL), a collection of electronic resources for education and professional development available to military and civilian staff of the Canadian Department of National Defence. The CFVL aims to provide the maximum of depth and breadth of content within the special conditions of its environment: English/French bilingualism, secure military computer networks and a large, sometimes far flung organization with many remote or “nomadic” users. The Canadian Forces Health Services benefits from the most recent expansion with the addition of six health and medicine databases from Ebsco.
