项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The NN/LM Pacific Southwest Region consists of a vast and diverse area of roughly 48 million people. The RML, based at the UCLA Louise M. Darling Biomedical Library in Los Angeles, supports a variety of libraries and health information centers in Arizona, California, Hawaii, Nevada, and the U. S. Territories in the Pacific. The Region stretches across six time zones, as well as the International Date Line. The geographic diversity presents a study in contrasts and great differences in information needs, from the urban hubs of Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Phoenix, and Las Vegas, to the remote island communities of the Pacific. The Region covers 11% of the total U.S. land area, and includes nearly 16% of the total U. S. population. In addition to the great geographical distances, the Region is culturally, ethnically, and linguistically very diverse. Over 200 languages and dialects are known to be spoken and read in California, making it one of the most linguistically diverse areas in the world. Arizona is home to many Native Americans and Hispanic Americans, Nevada has many frontier counties, and Hawaii has the largest population of Native Hawaiians. Another challenge is the changing landscape of health sciences libraries, particularly hospital libraries, which are undergoing a continuing trend of downsizing and closure, primarily due to institutional economic pressures and retirements of senior librarians. Despite these challenges, we have developed a program to publicize and promote the resources and services of the National Library of Medicine to as many audiences as possible. One of our key strategies is carefully planning the timing of webinars and other online meetings for the convenience of all parts of the Region. We also make extensive use of social media channels, two blogs, and an electronic announcement list to promote the word about new or revised NLM resources, upcoming events, technology tips, training information, and funding opportunities that may be of interest to our constituents. To support hospital librarians, we have extensively supported advocacy efforts by sponsoring workshops and providing professional development funding directed at hospital librarians wishing to enhance their skills. The Louise M. Darling Biomedical Library proposes to continue providing Regional Medical Library services to the states of Arizona, California, Hawaii, Nevada, and U.S. Territories in the Pacific Basin for the 2016-2021 Cooperative Agreement. We recognize that technologies and health information priorities will change during the course of the agreement, and we stand ready to monitor and evaluate the communication tools used by our primary audiences, and to adapt our methods accordingly. We believe that the program put forward in this proposal to serve the NN/LM Pacific Southwest Region provides a balanced, logical, and flexible approach to improving access to health information and to promoting the systems and services of the National Library of Medicine.

NN/LM太平洋西南地区由大约4800万人口的广阔而多样化的地区组成。RML总部设在加州大学洛杉矶分校路易斯M。位于洛杉矶的达令生物医学图书馆为亚利桑那州、加州、夏威夷、内华达州和美国的各种图书馆和健康信息中心提供支持。S.在太平洋的领土。该地区横跨六个时区，以及国际日期变更线。从洛杉矶、弗朗西斯科、圣地亚哥、凤凰城和拉斯维加斯等城市中心到太平洋的偏远岛屿社区，地理多样性是对信息需求的对比和巨大差异的研究。该地区占美国陆地总面积的11%，包括美国总面积的近16%。S.人口除了地理上的距离之外，该地区在文化、种族和语言上也非常多样化。加州有超过200种语言和方言，是世界上语言最多样化的地区之一。亚利桑那州是家庭，许多美国原住民和西班牙裔美国人，内华达州有许多边境县，夏威夷有最多的夏威夷原住民人口。另一个挑战是健康科学图书馆，特别是医院图书馆的格局不断变化，主要由于机构经济压力和高级图书馆员退休，这些图书馆正在经历持续的缩编和关闭趋势。尽管面临这些挑战，我们已经制定了一项计划，以宣传和促进国家医学图书馆的资源和服务，尽可能多的观众。我们的主要策略之一是仔细规划网络研讨会和其他在线会议的时间，以方便该地区的所有地区。我们还广泛使用社交媒体渠道，两个博客和一个电子公告列表，以宣传我们的选民可能感兴趣的新的或修订的NLM资源，即将举行的活动，技术提示，培训信息和资助机会。为了支持医院图书馆员，我们通过赞助研讨会和为希望提高技能的医院图书馆员提供专业发展资金来广泛支持宣传工作。路易斯M。Darling生物医学图书馆提议继续为亚利桑那州、加州州、夏威夷州、内华达州州和太平洋盆地的美国领土提供区域医学图书馆服务，以达成2016-2021年合作协议。我们认识到，技术和卫生信息的优先事项将在协议期间发生变化，我们随时准备监测和评估我们的主要受众使用的通信工具，并相应调整我们的方法。我们相信，本提案中提出的为NN/LM太平洋西南地区服务的计划提供了一种平衡、合理和灵活的方法，以改善健康信息的获取，并促进国家医学图书馆的系统和服务。
