The AAMC library study was conceived in 1979 by Marjorie P. Wilson, M. D. A major aim of the study was to inform academic medical center leaders of the key strategic issues in academic information management coming over the next several decades as electronic technologies would spread, then permeate
and
finally change our educational
and
health care institutions. Another aim was to describe how libraries could
and
should play a major role in the development
and
management of biomedical information. The National Library of Medicine IAIMS program supported the implementation of some of the report's recommendations at 17 institutions
and
organizations. The experience of these innovators will benefit us all as we enter the next decade of turbulent restructuring of our academic programs
and
scholarly communication systems. Between now
and
the end of the century we will see widespread much improved interfaces between humans
and
machines, high volume transfer of multimedia forms of knowledge between people
and
databases,
and
a shift from data dominance to knowledge dominance.
