The first round of Internet Access to Digital Libraries, or IADL grants has been awarded by the National Library of Medicine (NLM.) Three of the thirty-nine recipients are in the Pacific Northwest:
Idaho State University in Pocatello, Idaho proposed the "Idaho
Digital Library for Idaho Rural Healthcare Professionals." ISU
will be partnering with Bear Lake Memorial Hospital, Montpelier;
Bingham Memorial Hospital, Blackfoot; Caribou Memorial Hospital,
Soda Springs; Harms Memorial Hospital, American Falls; Lost
Rivers Medical Center, Arcop; Madison Memorial Hospital, Rexburg;
Minidoka Memorial Hospital, Rupert; Oneida County Hospital, Malad
City; Steele Memorial Hospital, Salmon; and Teton Valley
Hospital, Driggs. Marcia Francis is the Principal
Investigator.
Oregon Health & Sciences University in Portland, Oregon
proposed the "Full Text Internet-based Library Resources for
Nurses." This pilot project will make Ovid's full text
Lippincott/Springhouse Nursing Collection available to more than
43,000 licensed nurses around the state of Oregon. Steve Teich is
the Principal Investigator.
Clearwater Valley Hospital in Orofino, Idaho proposed the
"Digital Libraries for Frontier Idaho." Collaborating with
Clearwater Valley Hospital in this grant are St. Mary's Hospital,
Cottonwood; medical clinics in Cottonwood, Orofino, Craigmont,
Kamiah, Kooskia, Nezperce and Pierce; physical therapy clinics in
Cottonwood, Grangeville and Kamiah; Clearwater Memorial Public
Library, Orofino and Kooskia Community Technology Center in
Kooskia. Colleen Uhling is the Principal Investigator.
The purpose of IADL grants is to "initiate new digital
information services, or extend existing services to a larger
audience." They can be used for a wide variety of activities and
services which might include: the purchase of hardware and
software for connectivity to the Internet; supporting computers
and software for public access to digital libraries; fees for an
Internet Service Provider for the period of the grant; support
for wireless connectivity; training others to use the Internet to
access health information and many other endeavors. Groups of
organizations are encouraged to partner but one institution must
apply on behalf of all. The IADL grants were announced for the
first time in 2002 as a replacement for the Information Access
and Internet Connections grants that NLM formerly offered. The
response to the RFP was so successful that IADL grants are now
part of the regular grant cycle - February 1st, June 1st and then
October 1st of each year. In addition to the link above you will
find a link on the NN/LM PNR
Funding Web page. Also Linda Milgrom, Outreach
Coordinator is happy to discuss any questions you might have
about this or any other NLM grant or funding.
