## Abstract

1. Administrative Core 
Project Summary/Abstract 
We propose no change to the NN/LM PSR RML staffing level for the Cooperative Agreement. We are 
organized into the positions of Director, who will exercise overall governance; Associate Director, responsible 
for day-to-day operations; four program coordinators; and one office coordinator. With the advent of the NN/LM 
DOCLINE Coordination Office (NDCO) in the Cooperative Agreement, staffing efforts in that area will be 
redirected to emergency preparedness activities and other aspects of Network member services. 
All staff members will continue to participate in the ongoing process of recruiting new Network members in the 
course of various RML work activities, particularly those involving outreach and educational services. 
Recruitment initiatives will build on efforts established during our participation in the NN/LM Task Forces 
convened during the 2011-2016 RML contract period, particularly the Community College Outreach Task 
Force and the K-12 Outreach Task Force. 
Communication is vitally important to our Network members, and we have developed a well-rounded set of 
communication tools to meet the needs of a variety of audiences. Much reliance is still placed on the traditional 
mechanisms of email and telephone, but as increasing numbers of new Network members join the field, social 
media are becoming increasingly popular. We established Facebook and Twitter presences during the last 
several years, and in coming years we will explore other social media platforms that may be appropriate to 
adopt. We are cognizant of the fact that in some cases institutional firewalls or other blockages prevent 
Network members from utilizing these tools. 
We will build on the groundwork laid by the NN/LM Disaster Ready Initiative, formerly the Emergency 
Preparedness & Response Initiative, headed by Dan Wilson at the University of Virginia. We will conduct 
training sessions for Network members, and promote disaster information resources from NLM, the Medical 
Library Association, and other organizations as appropriate. We have always maintained a history of 
monitoring disasters in the Region, and determining Network members who may be in need of assistance as a 
result of the disaster. Wildfires and tropical Pacific storms are generally the most disruptive events in the 
Region. 
We will also maintain our “buddy” relationship with the NN/LM Greater Midwest Region, and we recently 
established back-up personnel to manage their web site in case of disaster. In addition, in the event of national 
disaster affecting NLM, we have developed contingency plans for providing assistance as needed.
