NLM to Host Symposium, “The National Library of Medicine, 1984-2014: Voyaging to the Future,” May 14, 2014

On May 14, 2014, the Board of Regents of the National Library of Medicine (NLM), the Friends of the NLM, and the Medical Library Association are co-sponsoring a symposium The National Library of Medicine, 1984-2014: Voyaging to the Future, to be held at the Natcher Center on the NIH campus from 8:30 am to 5 pm.  A reception at NLM will follow.  The purpose of the symposium is to review the influence of NLM's long range planning, as it interacted with outside developments, over the past 30 years; to reflect on key factors that contributed to successes and setbacks; and to consider opportunities for the future  --  all as background for the next NLM long range planning effort, to commence in 2015.
