Abstract
For several years, the Belgian federal civil servant has had
insufficient access to the documentary resources in the field of the
public health. A virtual structure gathering the collections of all of
the federal resource centres and organizing the work of their teams was
implemented in 2005: the Vesalius Documentation Information Centre
(VDIC). A portal providing access to the scientific resources was
officially launched in 2006. It offers the civil servant a simple and
direct access to more than 2,000 journals in full text, a centralized
catalogue of monographies and a selection of relevant databases. The
portal had immediately a great success, as it broadly met the needs of
its users. The VDIC portal impacts positively on the quality of
information exchange and consequently improves the services rendered to
the citizen. This portal is also directly intended for him: it provides
for example access to the partners' scientific publications or to
resources selected for their quality, thereby enabling the citizen to
get more involved in his own health.
