| contents | Decentralization of the National Biomedical Communications Network; Development of Regional and State Plans. North Dakota Library Notes, Vol. 5, No. 6. Bruce, Elizabeth W. Consortia Decentralization Diffusion Information Networks Information Systems Interlibrary Loans Library Cooperation Library Networks Medical Libraries Regional Libraries The current trend in biomedical information systems is to decentralization. Starting with the Medical Library Assistance Act of 1965, various plans of organization have been tried for improving the national diffusion of medical information. In 1968 the John Crerar Library became the Midwest Regional Medical Library, serving as an intermediary between local medical libraries and the National Library of Medicine (NLM). North Dakota was a member of this centralized information system. In 1973, the Midwest followed other regions in switching to a decentralized network, with 10 libraries designated as resource libraries for their regions and consortia of neighboring libraries being encouraged to form. The NLM requested that each region and state develop a resource sharing plan. The state plan for North Dakota will include division of the state into four service quadrants and central coordination by a new Director of Health Science Libraries. (PF) |
