Connecting the New York Academy of Medicine to NSFNET

9317996萨拉蒙纽约医学院的长期使命是通过在广泛的医学问题上采取行动，改善公众的健康，这些问题包括基础生物医学研究，以及与临床调查、临床医学、医疗保健提供、公共卫生活动和卫生政策事项有关的问题。学院特别关注城市健康问题的定义和解决方案。为了继续开发有用和重要的新方案，学院必须能够为其研究和教育界提供通信和信息资源。因此，纽约医学院申请了30,000美元的两年拨款，以建立与NSFnet的连接。这一连接将把学院的局域网集成到NSFnet中，从而为学院的所有研究人员、项目开发人员和工作人员提供接入。此外，具有国家重要性的研究图书馆--纽约医学院图书馆将通过互联网提供其目录馆藏和工作人员的专门知识。学院图书馆是全国医学图书馆网络中的一个区域医学图书馆。在这一角色中，学院将利用NSFnet连接，进一步向该地区覆盖纽约、新泽西、宾夕法尼亚州和特拉华州的900家健康科学图书馆提供培训和信息检索服务。这一连接还将使一个项目成为可能，该项目使该地区的十个健康科学图书馆能够通过LifeNet获得互联网接入。***

9317996 Salamon The New York Academy of Medicine has a longstanding mission to improve the health of the public by acting on broad medical issues ranging from basic biomedical research, through those issues bearing on clinical investigation, clinical medicine, health care delivery, public health activities and health policy matters. The Academy devotes special attention to defining and working toward solutions of urban health problems. In order to continue to develop useful and important new programs, the Academy must be able to provide its research and education community with access to communications and information resources. Therefore, The New York Academy of Medicine requests $30,000 for a two-year grant to establish a connection to the NSFNET. This connection will integrate the Academy's LAN into the NSFNET, and thereby provide access for all of the Academy's researchers, program developers and staff. In addition, The New York Academy of Medicine Library, a research library of national importance, would make its catalog holdings and staff expertise accessible through the Internet. The Academy Library serves as a Regional Medical Library in the National Network of Libraries of Medicine. In this role, the Academy would use the NSFNET connection to further its training and information retrieval services to 900 health science libraries in the region covering New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware. The connection would also make possible a project enabling ten health science libraries in the region to obtain Internet access via LIFENET. ***
