The Institute of Public Health in Ireland, aim to provide access to health information and health intelligence on the island. 

For information to be mobilised effectively and efficiently, knowledge resources must be easy to manage and find. Libraries use cataloguing systems to ensure that those who store and retrieve its resources know exactly where they are located. Metadata is the term used to describe the structured set of details which are attached to a knowledge resource in order to facilitate storage, access and usage. Examples of these details include a resource’s “title”, its “creator” and “subject”. 

The application of metadata to the resources in the INIsPHO Library helps ensure the knowledge they contain is easier to find and incorporate into public health policy, plans and practice. ISBN Number: 0-9542316-7-8
