Abstract

The characteristics of a representative set of Health Sciences virtual libraries were analyzed with the further aim of identifying good practices that could be to put into practice in the Spanish context. Projects were selected in countries with a decentralized health management system similar the Spanish one. The following variables were analyzed: structure, financing, content, process coordination and interlibrary cooperation bodies. Also, good practices that can be applied to the Spanish national model were identified, of which we highlight the centralization of processes and the presence of organisms or interlibrary cooperation.
