Dr. Francis Collins, Director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has convened a 'Working Group to Chart the Course for the NIH National Library of Medicine.' The working group has developed a Request for Information to collect input from stakeholders and members of the public regarding the current value of and future need for NLM programs, resources, research and training efforts, and services.
