The National Library of Medicine (NLM) has announced the availability of
purchase orders to design local programs for improving information access
for minority health consumers.  Emphasis is on providing information or
access to health and medical information in a way meaningful to the target
community.

Development of connections with local health sciences libraries to obtain
use of their collections, to procure interlibrary loan services, or to
develop local appropriate collections of materials is one of the
information access categories that is suggested. Health sciences
librarians may want to partner with one of the organizations below and
encourage them to apply.

With this purchase order NLM is targeting community based organizations,
patient advocacy groups, faith based organizations, service organizations,
and non-profit organizations.

Proposal Deadline: 2pm, July 16, 2001.
