The National Library of Medicine (NLM), part of the National Institutes of Health, has announced that more than 70 reports by the National Academies are available online at NLM's Bookshelf. Bookshelf is a searchable, online collection of biomedical books and other material, produced by NLM's National Center for Biotechnology Information.
The reports include workshop summaries, as well as formal reports, that were funded by NIH and produced by the four organisations that comprise the National Academies. These are: the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, the Institute of Medicine and the National Research Council.
The reports are produced under a contract between NIH and the National Academies that allows NIH to issue task orders to fund Academy activities to support the NIH mission. The contract enables NIH and the Academies to address pressing policy concerns, emerging health issues, and scientific opportunities, and to post resulting reports on the Bookshelf.
