With the exponential growth of information resources on the Internet, libraries are faced with the great challenge of managing their physical and electronic resources in an integrated way. The aim of this article is therefore to design a virtual space with a single interface for accessing scientific production, which allows interoperability when searching for information in the online catalogue and the Virtual Health Library. This interface will provide access to a variety of traditional types of content, such as books, journals, technical reports, software, as well as complex multimedia entities that mix text, images, videos and data.
