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对广泛的医疗问题采取行动，从基础生物医学研究到与临床调查、临床医学、保健提供、公共卫生活动和卫生政策事项有关的问题，改善公众健康。该学会特别重视确定和努力解决城市卫生问题。为了继续开发有用和重要的新项目，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3万美元为期两年的拨款，以建立与NSFNET的联系。这一连接将把科学院的局域网整合到国家科学基金网中，从而为科学院的所有研究人员、程序开发人员和工作人员提供访问。此外，纽约医学学院图书馆，一个具有国家重要性的研究图书馆，将使其目录馆藏和工作人员的专业知识可以通过互联网访问。学院图书馆是国家医学图书馆网络中的区域医学图书馆。在这个角色中，科学院将利用国家科学基金网的连接，进一步向覆盖纽约、新泽西、宾夕法尼亚和特拉华州的900个卫生科学图书馆提供培训和信息检索服务。这种连接还将使一个项目成为可能，使该区域的十个卫生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. ***
