- Introduction: We want to show how subscription, management and access centralization of the journals from the libraries belonging to the Public Health System from the Balearic Islands Region has contributed to a marked increase in scientific quality resources contract. Objectives: In 2003 the Virtual Health Sciences Library of the Balearic Islands was started, beginning a centralized subscription management of scientific journals. From then onwards the objective has been to change from paper format to electronic, and in this way, increase access to quality scientific content for public health professionals. Method: A data base was carried out wherein information relative to contracted journals was collected (subscribing centres, formats, providers, prices...) The analysis of such information allowed the study of new contracts with editors and aggregators. Results: During these years the Virtual Health Sciences Library of the Balearic Islands has been renting new regional resources, culminating the process of centralization and management of all subscriptions through the Virtual Library in 2008. This has allowed us to optimize resources, negotiate better with suppliers, control E-journals use, improve access and manage incidences. Conclusions: Centralized management of journal subscriptions has contributed to the operating of our Regional virtual library with an important number of quality publications available for all public health service professionals, and with a clear improvement of economical resources available.
