This poster describes the development of user-centered interfaces in order to extend the functionality of the Virginia Henderson International Nursing Library (VHINL) from library to web based portal to nursing knowledge resources. The existing knowledge structure and computational models are revised and made complementary. Nurses' search behavior is captured and analyzed, and the resulting search models are mapped to the revised knowledge structure and computational model.
Drawing on their experience as a demonstration district for Project 2000 the authors discuss the implications of the changes to nurse education for nursing libraries and the services which they provide. A survey of library usage patterns under the 'new' curriculum is also described.

Senior staff in libraries at 281 medical schools, postgraduate institutions, schools of nursing and postgraduate medical centres were approached. They were asked to complete a detailed questionnaire on the availability of patient-orientated information and the nature of access by other health care professionals, patients and the public to their facilities. A total of 252 replies was received (response rate 90%). Medical and nursing schools tended to discriminate against each other's staff. Discrimination against patients was more widespread with less than 30% of libraries open to them. This was reflected in the lack of patient information such as booklets and videos. Less than 10% of libraries provided such information. Libraries in schools of nursing were significantly better in the provision of information about self-help groups. Overall there were limited interest in the provision of any service to patients or the general public.
