In June 2001, Margaret (Peg) Allen produced a report for the Ontario Learning Resources Nursing Project (OLRN). The Provincial government mandated the requirement that all new Registered Nurses have a Baccalaureate Degree. This meant a collaboration would need to exist between Colleges and Universities that had varying levels of library resources.
Peg put forth two Guiding principles
• All nursing students, faculty, librarians, and preceptors should have access to a common set of knowledge-based nursing and interdisciplinary health information resources to support their education, research, and clinical practice.
• For the most effective pricing, the colleges and universities should license resources on a consortium basis.
Read the Report
Since 2001, the OLRN group has worked to these guiding principles in negotiating for a set of core resources that all BScN students should have access to during their studies.
