The Director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Francis 
Collins, has formed a working group to articulate a vision for the 
future of the National Library of Medicine (NLM) as part of the 
transition taking place with the retirement of the long-serving NLM 
Director, Don Lindberg, this spring. As part of this process the 
working group is calling for community responses to a request for 
information by March 13.

The RFI can be found at:

NLM has been an incredibly important part of the research and 
scholarly communications environment, as well as a key bridge between 
the research community and the broader public, in recent decades and 
it's vital that it has the benefit of the best thinking as it maps 
its future.
