<p><em>[Editor's Note: This is a reprint of an announcement published on the NLM® Web site on April 1, 2016. To be notified of announcements like this subscribe to the <a href="https://www.nlm.nih.gov/listserv/emaillists.html">NLM-Announces email list</a>.] </em></p>
<p>On April 1, 2016, the National Library of Medicine awarded five-year cooperative agreements to eight institutions to serve as Regional Medical Libraries (RMLs) and five National Coordinating Offices in the National Network of Libraries of Medicine (NN/LM).&nbsp;The agreements begin May 1, 2016. The Network consists of the eight RMLs, five National Coordinating Offices, nearly 112 resource libraries (primarily at medical schools), over 2,200 local health science libraries (primarily at hospitals), and more than 1,300 public libraries and community-based organizations.</p>
<p>Since its original authorization by Congress in the 1965 Medical Library Assistance Act, the NN/LM has worked to equalize and enhance access to health information throughout the United States. The Network is vital in NLM outreach efforts to health professionals and the public to increase awareness of, facilitate access to, and provide training in the use of NLM Web-based information services, coordinate basic Network services such as interlibrary loan, and work to improve the supporting infrastructure for health sciences libraries. The goal is to provide access to accurate and up-to-date health information to health professionals, patients, families, and the general public, irrespective of their geographic location in an evolving information landscape.</p>
<p>Advances in the Internet and mobile technologies have brought about enormous changes in the way people seek and use health information, in the biomedical research, and in the publishing and scholarly communications of that research. Traditional resource sharing has been transformed by the widespread application of digital technologies in collection, development and access, the proliferation of e-journals, and large scale availability of full text journals in archives such as PubMed Central. Biomedical big data initiatives, such as the NIH Big Data to Knowledge (BD2K) and the Precision Medicine Initiative, will facilitate the discovery and support of new knowledge and engagement among a diverse community, including health care providers, researchers, public health workers, data scientists, funders, publishers, libraries, and the public. Information seekers expect instant and free access. They also expect information and social networking tools that promote open access to knowledge sharing and knowledge creation. The NN/LM will play an important role in bringing the tools and resources needed to take advantage of this new environment to these diverse communities.</p>
<p>During the previous (2011-2016) contract period, the RMLs awarded more than 1,100 subcontracts and other awards to NN/LM members. The RMLs, in collaboration with subcontracted NN/LM members, were responsible for more than 6,600 training events and other outreach activities that reached more than 97,300 health professionals, librarians and members of the general public.</p>
<p>Information about the National Network of Libraries of Medicine and the Regional Medical Libraries is on the Web at <a href="https://nnlm.gov">https://nnlm.gov</a>. The National Library of Medicine, a component of the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, is the world's largest library of the health sciences. Information about all NLM programs and services is on the Web at <a href="https://www.nlm.nih.gov">https://www.nlm.nih.gov</a>.</p>
