IAIMS Grants Recipients

"IAIMS are institution-wide computer networks that link and relate library systems with individual and institutional databases and information files, within and external to the institution, for patient care, research, education, and administration. The goal is to create an organizational mechanism within health institutions to manage more effectively the knowledge of medicine, and to provide for a system of comprehensive and convenient information access. Particular emphasis is placed on providing easy 'one-stop information shopping' for the user.

"Since 1984 the National Library of Medicine has provided grant assistance to medical centers and health science institutions and organizations for IAIMS projects."
