In a world that is increasingly digital, the National Library of Medicine (NLM) already plays a pivotal role in enabling biomedical research, supporting health care and public health, and promoting healthy behavior. By connecting and making the results of research — from scientific data to published literature to patient and consumer health information-readily available, the Library magnifies the positive impact of the country’s investment in the creation of new knowledge. In the next ten years, NLM’s programs and services will become even more central to scientific discovery, treatment, and prevention. Careful planning and visionary thinking are critical to the pursuit of that future.
