NIH Policy Guide
Many of you know that the National Institutes of
Health (NIH) now requires all NIH funded researchers to make their research
publications available to the public through PubMed Central. Joan has developed a guide to help
researchers understand how to submit their articles. The campus Institutional Review Board (IRB)
staff has already publicized the guide through an email to all
researchers. You can see this extensive
guide at http://azhin.org/nihpublicaccess
AZHIN’s 20th Anniversary
2013 is the 20th anniversary of the Arizona Health
Information Network. AZHIN is a
consortium of over 30 hospital, clinic and academic libraries around the state
that originally joined together to provide MEDLINE access. Over the past 20 years AZHIN has evolved into
an organization that not only jointly purchases access to electronic
information but also provides web and authentication tools to it’s members and
employs a librarian, Brooke Billman, to train members, to troubleshoot and to
negotiate with vendors. AZHIN has won
awards and is a major force in ensuring that healthcare providers around the
state have access to the latest and most reliable biomedical information. Today AZHIN members, including founder Rachel
Anderson, will be meeting at the Arizona Inn for a celebratory luncheon.
