The founders of the Association of Academic Health Sciences Libraries (AAHSL) envisioned the development of a professional organization that would provide a greater voice for academic health sciences libraries, facilitate cooperation and communication with the Association of American Medical Colleges, and create a forum for identifying problems and solutions that are common to academic health sciences libraries. This article focuses on the fulfillment of the "greater voice" vision by describing action and leadership by AAHSL and its members on issues that directly influenced the role of academic health sciences libraries. These include AAHSL's participation in the work that led to the publication of the landmark report, Academic Information in the Academic Health Sciences Center: Roles for the Library in Information Management; its contributions to the recommendations of the Physicians for the Twenty-first Century: The GPEP Report; and the joint publication with the Medical Library Association of Challenge to Action: Planning and Evaluation Guidelines for Academic Health Sciences Libraries.
学术健康科学图书馆协会(AAHSL)的创始人设想建立一个专业组织,该组织将为学术健康科学图书馆发出更强有力的声音,促进与美国医学院协会的合作与交流,并创建一个论坛,以识别学术健康科学图书馆共有的问题及解决方案。本文通过描述AAHSL及其成员在直接影响学术健康科学图书馆作用的问题上所采取的行动和发挥的领导力,来聚焦“更强有力的声音”这一愿景的实现。这些行动包括AAHSL参与促成具有里程碑意义的报告《学术健康科学中心的学术信息:图书馆在信息管理中的作用》的出版工作;对《21世纪的医师:GPEP报告》的建议所做出的贡献;以及与医学图书馆协会联合出版的《行动挑战:学术健康科学图书馆规划与评估指南》。
