About
The Discovery to Delivery programme aimed to make knowledge more findable, and provide an easier, seamless journey from discovery to delivery of documents. It:
- Delivered a first class search experience (Search 2.0)
- Supported searching across NHS knowledge content through a single information environment (Search 2.0)
- Developed an "NHS link resolver service", linking search results to available full text and linking NHS content into search engines such as PubMed and Google (Link Resolver)

- A single interface for the NHS library service to promote and train against,
- To present search as an NLH Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)
- To provide an NHS owned and controlled software framework for integrating new national and local resources
- To expose logical collections as search objects
- To provide better search functionality, optimised for individual targets
- To provide greater flexibility in selecting search targets via personal search profiles
- To deliver NHS content via search results, wherever the user is
