Can non-VA or non-VISN1 staff use the Knowledge Library?
Answer
The Knowledge Library is a VISN 1 (VA New England) resource. Some of the resources in the Knowledge Library are available nationally throughout the VA via the VA National Desktop Library, but others are only available in VISN 1.
For non-VISN 1 personnel it is suggested that you use the "Find my Library" tool on the VA National Desktop Library website to locate your local librarian and find resources in your VISN.
This site will also contain information on:
- Continuing Education
- VA Wide accessible
- Databases
- Journal and E-Books
- Mobile Apps
- Patient Education
- Remote Access
- Subject Guides
If you are attached to a VISN 1 site and are working remotely, please e-mail Library Support with the following information:
- Name
- VISN 1 Site you are attached to
- Perm or Temp status
- Telephone
- VA e-mail
The Library will e-mail reply with temporary credentials which will grant immediate access. create and activate your remote access account within 24 hour.
The library processes new accounts between the hours of 2:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. EST Monday - Friday.
