摘要
林德伯格博士宣誓就任馆长时,国家医学图书馆提供的对公众有用的信息资源很少,而是把精力集中在卫生专业人员和科学家身上。随着他的到来,以及20世纪90年代互联网的出现,NLM走上了一条以研究和用户为中心的道路,为患者、家庭和公众提供权威的健康信息。MedlinePlus、NIHSeniorHealth和MedlinePlus en espanol使用文本、静态图像、音频和视频以各种格式提供健康信息。这些资源得到了NLM顾问和Lindberg博士的坚定信念的支持,即患者和家属需要轻松获取医疗信息,以便能够有效地照顾自己的疾病,并在他们的一生中保持最佳健康。
Providing health information for patients, families and the public.
When Dr. Lindberg was sworn in as Director, the National Library of Medicine (NLM) was providing few resources with information useful to the public, having concentrated efforts towards health professionals and scientists. With his arrival, and that of the Internet in the 1990s, NLM embarked on a research and user-focused path towards providing authoritative health information for patients, families and the public. MedlinePlus, NIHSeniorHealth, and MedlinePlus en espanol delivered health information in a variety of formats using text, still images, audio and video. These resources were supported by NLM advisors and Dr. Lindberg's strong belief that patients and families needed easy access to medical information to be able to effectively care for themselves in illness and maintain the best health possible throughout their lives.
