The challenge of a hospital network digital library towards open science in a health public system. The institutional health repository of Andalusia (RISalud-ANDALUCIA)

Abstract

The Andalusian Health Digital Library (BV-SSPA) was set in 2006. The main milestone was the centralized subscription for 65 hospitals, 5 research centers, 3 training centers and 1,500 primary centers. The Health Public System of Andalusia is composed of more than 100,000 professional who can access the digital library at work and remotely since 2008, when the federeted access system was developped. In 2013 the BV-SSPA launched the Institutional Health Repository (RISalud-ANDALUCIA) where all the scientific and intellectual output of these proffesionals could be deposited. In 2022 this digital library assumed the challenge of evolving the repository which also implied certain changes in centralized licensing and agreement with publishers.

In this presentation, the Implementation of improvements in RISalud-ANDALUCIA which implies changes in its software, bulk uploads, new structure, but also a new approach in terms of subscription negotiations, is shown.
