National Library of Medicine Site Visit

On October 22, 2008, a site visit by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) will be conducted at the University of Washington (UW).

This site visit is a midpoint review of the UW's Regional Medical Library (RML) contract with NLM for programs and services of the National Network of Libraries of Medicine, Pacific Northwest Region (NN/LM PNR).

At the meeting the RML will review progress on activities to accomplish NN/LM program goals in the PNR. A session will also be held with invited NN/LM PNR network members to provide their perspectives and input.

During 2008, the NLM will visit all eight RMLs in the NN/LM to learn first-hand about regional accomplishments, regional issues and challenges, and regional priorities.
