## Abstract

Project Summary/Abstract: Administrative Core 
The mission of the National Network of Libraries of Medicine (NN/LM) is to advance the progress of medicine 
and improve the public health by: 1) providing all U.S. health professionals equal access to biomedical 
information and, 2) improving the public's access to information, enabling them to make informed decisions 
about their health. This proposal's Administrative Core aims to achieve this mission within the Middle Atlantic 
Region (MAR) through a strong, collaborative environment and shared governance structure that mandates 
continuous feedback to design, monitor, evaluate, and improve programs and services that meet the 
information needs of health professionals and the public (Aim 1). An active and diverse Network membership 
is necessary to achieve the NN/LM mission. To that end, this project will strengthen the Network through 
recruitment of new members who share a mission to expand access to quality, cost effective biomedical and 
health information; and the establishment of effective communication mechanisms to continuously solicit 
feedback and collaboratively design and improve programs that increase access to health information (Aim 2). 
Finally, this proposal's Administrative Core aims to support a national emergency preparedness and response 
plan through collaborative endeavors that ensure continuity of access to health information during disasters 
and localized emergencies through educational activities, partnership building, and subaward opportunities 
(Aim 3).
