We hope that you will add it to your summer reading list!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Looking to the future has been a common theme in the history of the Library. When Joseph Lovell sent the latest medical journals and texts to the department\u2019s medical officers in the field, he was well aware that such publications would be essential for current and future medical professionals. Interim Surgeon General Benjamin King requested funds to build what would become the core collection of the Library, and Thomas Lawson sought to grow the collection into a legitimate library. When John Shaw Billings was posted to the Office of the US Army Surgeon General in 1865 and put in charge of its small collection of books, he soon envisioned creating the most comprehensive medical collection possible. As the collection grew, Billings realized that it needed to be \u201ccatalogued and open . . . as complete as it can be made\u201d and searchable by subject, which had never before been possible. Over the course of the following century, generations of dedicated public servants\u2014men and women from a variety of backgrounds\u2014brought the vision of John Shaw Billings to reality: the US National Library of Medicine, the largest medical library in the world. Modern leaders of the Library\u2014from Harold W. Jones to Joseph H. McNinch to Frank B. Rogers to Martin M. Cummings\u2014similarly looked forward as they engaged in the era of electronics and computers and what is known today to be the digital era, all to enable individuals across the nation and around the world to discover and easily use the Library\u2019s collection for research, education, and clinical care.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular tiled-gallery-unresized\" data-original-width=\"840\" data-carousel-extra='{"blog_id":1,"permalink":"https:\\\/\\\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\\\/2017\\\/08\\\/04\\\/new-history-of-the-nlm-the-library-in-the-21st-century\\\/","likes_blog_id":"52242398"}' itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\" > <div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 840px; height: 395px;\" data-original-width=\"840\" data-original-height=\"395\" > <div class=\"gallery-group images-1\" style=\"width: 590px; height: 395px;\" data-original-width=\"590\" data-original-height=\"395\" > <div class=\"tiled-gallery-item tiled-gallery-item-large\" itemprop=\"associatedMedia\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/nlm-175th-101707390\/\" border=\"0\" itemprop=\"url\"> <meta itemprop=\"width\" content=\"586\"> <meta itemprop=\"height\" content=\"391\"> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" data-attachment-id=\"12156\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/nlm-175th-101707390.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2880,1920\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{"aperture":"6.3","credit":"","camera":"NIKON D3","caption":"","created_timestamp":"1291852800","copyright":"","focal_length":"18","iso":"250","shutter_speed":"0.004","title":"","orientation":"1"}\" data-image-title=\"NLM-175th-101707390\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/nlm-175th-101707390.jpg?fit=300%2C200&ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/nlm-175th-101707390.jpg?fit=840%2C560&ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/nlm-175th-101707390.jpg?w=586&h=391&ssl=1\" width=\"586\" height=\"391\" loading=\"lazy\" data-original-width=\"586\" data-original-height=\"391\" itemprop=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/image\" title=\"NLM-175th-101707390\" alt=\"Staff form the number 175 on the steps of the Library.\" style=\"width: 586px; height: 391px;\" \/> <\/a> <div class=\"tiled-gallery-caption\" itemprop=\"caption description\"> Library staff gather on the front steps for a photograph to mark the Library\u2019s 175th anniversary in 2011.

Lindberg became the Library\u2019s longest-serving leader to date, with a tenure of more than 30 years spanning the dawn of the 21st century. With his progressive, future-oriented leadership, grounded by his understanding and respect of history, and building on the important accomplishments of his predecessor Martin M. Cummings, Lindberg led the Library into the digital age. During his tenure, technological innovations proliferated. To name only a few beyond those detailed in the previous chapter, 1990 saw the Library embark on a collaborative effort to transfer the printed data of the massive and unique <em>Index-Catalogue<\/em> into an online, searchable database called IndexCat, which, 23 years later, the Library released as Extensible Markup Language (XML) data for new, big-data oriented users and new uses in research, education, and clinical care; in 1994\u20131995, the Library released the Visible Human Male and the Visible Human Female\u2014modern digital anatomical atlases\u2014which stand in a long and rich tradition of printed, layered human body anatomies; in 1997, the Library launched PubMed, which simplified searching for medical information and connected users of MEDLINE to the web sites of publishers of medical journals so they could receive the full text of journal articles identified in a search; in 2000, the Library launched ClinicalTrials.gov, which has become the world\u2019s largest clinical trials database, and PubMed Central, an archive for full-text biomedical and life sciences journal articles; consumer-friendly MedlinePlus appeared in 1998, MedlinePlus en espa\u00f1ol in 2002; <em>MedlinePlus<\/em> the magazine, in 2006; and <em>MedlinePlus Salud<\/em> in 2009. These companion resources for patients and their families offer free and up-to-date information about diseases, conditions, and wellness issues in understandable language.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular tiled-gallery-unresized\" data-original-width=\"840\" data-carousel-extra='{"blog_id":1,"permalink":"https:\\\/\\\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\\\/2017\\\/08\\\/04\\\/new-history-of-the-nlm-the-library-in-the-21st-century\\\/","likes_blog_id":"52242398"}' itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\" > <div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 840px; height: 534px;\" data-original-width=\"840\" data-original-height=\"534\" > <div class=\"gallery-group images-1\" style=\"width: 417px; height: 534px;\" data-original-width=\"417\" data-original-height=\"534\" > <div class=\"tiled-gallery-item tiled-gallery-item-large\" itemprop=\"associatedMedia\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/nih-medline-plus-the-magazine-101707387\/\" border=\"0\" itemprop=\"url\"> <meta itemprop=\"width\" content=\"413\"> <meta itemprop=\"height\" content=\"530\"> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" data-attachment-id=\"12154\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/nih-medline-plus-the-magazine-101707387.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"934,1200\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{"aperture":"5.6","credit":"","camera":"NIKON D750","caption":"","created_timestamp":"1491833830","copyright":"","focal_length":"60","iso":"2000","shutter_speed":"0.066666666666667","title":"","orientation":"1"}\" data-image-title=\"NIH-Medline-Plus-The-Magazine-101707387\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/nih-medline-plus-the-magazine-101707387.jpg?fit=234%2C300&ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/nih-medline-plus-the-magazine-101707387.jpg?fit=797%2C1024&ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/nih-medline-plus-the-magazine-101707387.jpg?w=413&h=530&ssl=1\" width=\"413\" height=\"530\" loading=\"lazy\" data-original-width=\"413\" data-original-height=\"530\" itemprop=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/image\" title=\"NIH-Medline-Plus-The-Magazine-101707387\" alt=\"The cover of MedlinePlus magazine, Fall 2006\" style=\"width: 413px; height: 530px;\" \/> <\/a> <div class=\"tiled-gallery-caption\" itemprop=\"caption description\"> The fall 2006 edition of MedlinePlus featured a story about actress Mary Tyler Moore\u2019s fight against diabetes.
