The future of the National Library of Medicine will be shaped by a number of scientific, technical, and social influences. Among these are the continuing rapid development of computer technology and storage systems. Artificial intelligence techniques, factual databases, the emergence of medical informatics as a formal discipline, and the development of Integrated Academic Information Management Systems (IAIMS) are also important influences on the direction of the library. Public policy issues will influence the future of NLM--among them, sharing of scientific information between nations and the role of federal agencies in dissemination of information domestically. The formal, long-range plan now being prepared for the library by panels of expert advisers will be a guide for future programs and goals.
美国国立医学图书馆的未来将受到一些科学、技术和社会因素的影响。其中包括计算机技术和存储系统的持续快速发展。人工智能技术、事实数据库、医学信息学作为一门正式学科的出现,以及综合学术信息管理系统(IAIMS)的发展,也对该图书馆的发展方向产生重要影响。公共政策问题将影响国立医学图书馆的未来——其中包括国家间科学信息的共享以及联邦机构在国内信息传播中的作用。由专家顾问小组目前正在为国立医学图书馆制定的正式长期计划,将成为未来项目和目标的指南。
