Report of the Planning Panel on the Education  
and Training of Health Sciences Librarians 
 
	The NLM Long Range Plan on the Education and Training of Health 
Sciences Librarians is now available on request from NLM's Public 
Information Office and via the Internet (see below). 
 
	The report was prepared by a distinguished panel chaired by Dr. 
Thomas Detre of the University of Pittsburgh (News, January-February 
1994), and is the result of a year-long effort by a multidisciplinary 
team of health professionals, librarians, library school faculty, 
medical informaticians, and NLM staff.  It has been incorporated by the 
NLM Board of Regents into its official Long Range Plan for the Library, 
taking its place in the series of Plans first published in 1987 with 
updates on Outreach (1989), Imaging (1990), and Toxicology & 
Environmental Health (1992).  Dr. Elliot R. Siegel, NLM's associate 
director for Health Information Programs Development (HIPD), coordinated 
the work of the panel along with Susan P. Buyer, who served as the 
panel's executive secretary. 
 
	In accepting the report, Dr. H. Kenneth Walker underscored that 
the report "...lays out a number of opportunities for health sciences 
librarians, schools of library and information science, professional 
associations, and the National Library of Medicine to work together to 
assure that society benefits from the considerable skills and 
contributions of health sciences librarianship."  The report's goals and 
recommendations address the need to: 
 
* Prepare for the new forms of information, new users, and new practice 
patterns that may be required for health sciences librarianship. 
* Match the capabilities of health sciences librarians to the needs of 
employers. 
* Update and enhance the curricula of schools of library and information 
science. 
* Foster educational programs enabling health sciences librarians 
already in the workplace to update and extend their professional 
education and training. 
* Experiment with alternative methods and courses of study for adult 
learning. 
* Attract the best and brightest candidates the current market can 
provide. 
* Achieve greater cultural and ethnic diversity in the profession.

Staff Honors 
 
	At the annual meeting of the Medical Library Association, both 
NLM's director and its associate director for Library Operations 
received special honors. 
 
	NLM Director Donald A. B. Lindberg, M.D., was presented an award 
"for contributions as Director of the National Coordination Office of 
High-Performance Computing and Communications and for leadership in 
providing rapid, global distribution of biomedical information to the 
health care community."  In making the award, MLA's Board of Directors 
expressed the belief that Dr. Lindberg's commitment and leadership 
"provided significant opportunities to health sciences librarians to 
play a key role in the application of HPCC programs.  These new 
technologies support the goal of our members' institutions and the 
Medical Library Association to provide...crucial, relevant biomedical 
information which benefits all health care professionals, educators, 
researchers, and consumers."  Dr. Lindberg was the first director of the 
HPCC National Coordination Office, a post he held concurrently with his 
directorship of NLM from September 1992 until his resignation earlier 
this year (News, January-February 1995). 
 
	Lois Ann Colaianni, associate director for Library Operations, 
received MLA's highest professional honor, the Marcia C. Noyes Award.  
The Noyes Award recognizes an individual whose career has resulted in 
lasting, prominent contributions to health sciences librarianship.  MLA 
recognized Mrs. Colaianni's numerous achievements during her career at 
NLM--including her efforts to improve the quality and quantity of NLM's 
basic services--in addition to her overall achievements related to 
improved access to information throughout her thirty-year career.  Mrs. 
Colaianni was inducted as an MLA Fellow in 1994 and served as chair of 
the International Organizing Committee for the 7th International 
Congress on Medical Librarianship held in Washington in May.  Her past 
leadership positions in the MLA include a term as president, membership 
on the Board of Directors, chair of the Continuing Education Committee 
and of the Hospital Libraries Section, and serving as associate editor 
of the Handbook of Medical Library Practice.

NIS Librarians Participate in Seminar at NLM 
 
	Medical library directors from eight Newly Independent States of 
the former Soviet Union recently completed a two-week visit to the 
United States, including a one-week seminar at NLM.  The seminar was 
organized by NLM associate director for Library Operations, Lois Ann 
Colaianni, and Dr. Craig Locatis,  Cognitive Sciences Branch, Lister 
Hill Center.  . 
	The visit, which also included attending the annual meeting of the 
Medical Library Association and the Seventh International Congress on 
Medical Librariarship, was part of an agreement NLM has with the 
Department of State to help provide certain NIS countries with improved 
access to biomedical information.  The project, which involves providing 
access to NLM databases through the BITNIS Gateway and interlibrary 
loans, was initiated by Dr. Richard K.C. Hsieh (now retired), and the 
International Programs office now headed by associate director, Dr. 
Elliot R. Siegel.

Making a Powerful Connection 
	The Health of the Public and the National Information 
Infrastructure by Betsy Humphreys 
 
Assistant Director for Health Services Research Information 
 
	On April 19, 1995, the National Library of Medicine (NLM), the 
Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health, the Center for Disease 
Prevention and Control, and the Agency for Health Care Policy and 
Research convened a meeting entitled "Making a Powerful Connection: the 
Health of the Public and the National Information Infrastructure."  The 
development of the National Information Infrastructure provides an 
opportunity to rethink  strategies for surveying the health of the 
community, for controlling potential health hazards, and for intervening 
to reduce community health problems.   
 
	The purposes of the April 19 meeting and a smaller follow-on 
strategy session on April 20 were: 1) to identify and describe current 
public health information problems for which technology may provide 
solutions; 2) to review technologies that are now or could be applied to 
these public health problems and to discuss related research and 
demonstration opportunities; 3) to discuss key technical, economic, 
social, and public policy issues that may influence application of 
technology to public health information problems; and 4) to discuss a 
strategy for promoting use of the National Information Infrastructure to 
improve the detection, assessment, and control of problems that affect 
the health of communities and populations.   
 
	About 120 people representing Federal agencies, state and local 
public health departments, medical informatics and HPCC research and 
development groups, members of the National Network of Libraries of 
Medicine, and a range of private sector organizations interested in NII 
applications participated in the all-day meeting on April 19.   Dr. 
Kenneth Walker, chairman of NLM's Board of Regents, and Ms. Wendy Carter 
represented the Board at the meeting. Dr. Walker made the concluding 
remarks.   
 
	There were a number of exhibits open to participants during the 
breaks and a reception following the meeting sponsored by the Friends of 
the National Library of Medicine and AT & T. 
 
	The need for national legislation on the privacy of health 
information and for more Federal leadership in the development and 
implementation of health data standards emerged as high priorities for 
the public health community--as well as for those engaged in developing 
computer-based patient record systems.   A number of follow-on action 
items were identified for a range of organizations and professional 
associations.  In addition to promoting greater public health 
participation in its grant and training programs and ensuring public 
health involvement in UMLS-related development,  NLM plans to 
collaborate with CDC and the National Network of Libraries of Medicine 
to provide outreach and training in information technology for state and 
local public health officials.   
 
	Videotapes of the conference will soon be available from NLM and 
from the Regional Medical Libraries.  A revision of the White Paper 
distributed to all participants before the meeting is nearing completion 
and will be distributed via the Internet.  Details will be announced in 
a future issue of the News.

TSD Deputy to Join NAL as Technical Services Associate Director 
 
	Sally Sinn, deputy chief of NLM's Technical Services Division 
(TSD) since 1986, recently resigned from NLM to accept the position of 
associate director for technical services at the National Agricultural 
Library (NAL).  During her 22 years at NLM, Ms. Sinn played a key role 
in the transition from a "card catalog environment" to an online one of 
over 775,000 records available to librarians and health scientists 
throughout the world. 
 
	Ms. Sinn joined NLM in 1973 as a Library associate.  After 
completing the program in 1974, she began working as a cataloger and 
systems librarian in the Cataloging Section where, from 1978 to 1986, 
she was assistant head.  From 1979 to 1980, as acting head of the 
section, she played an important role in a massive project to reduce the 
cataloging arrearage and to develop and implement NLM's standards for 
limited cataloging--an innovation that has permitted the Library to 
provide more timely access to many items in the collection.  She also 
directed major projects to convert NLM's manual shelflist to machine-
readable form, to design and develop the first NLM system for online 
creation of cataloging records, and to expand the distribution of NLM's 
cataloging data in MARC format.   
 
	Since 1986 as deputy chief of the Technical Services Division, she 
has played a significant role in the continued development of automation 
at NLM.  Recent projects include the  distribution of MeSH in MARC 
format--a product now used by a number of health science libraries and 
library system vendors--and the investigation of an integrated library 
system to improve technical processing at NLM.  
 
	In 1988 she received the NIH Merit Award "for exceptional 
contributions to the development of systems that improve NLM's ability 
to create and distribute high quality bibliographic data for the 
biomedical literature.


 
	At Ms. Sinn's farewell gathering, Kent Smith, NLM deputy director, 
remarked, "There can be no question that what Sally and her team do is 
the real essence of what NLM is all about.  Our mission--to acquire, 
organize and disseminate the world's biomedical literature--begins with 
TSD.  It is the basic library services of NLM that must be sustained 
particularly in these times of retrenchment."  
 
	Ms. Sinn expects to continue her interest in library automation 
and explore areas where cooperative projects will be of mutual benefit 
to both NLM and NAL and their clientele.
