I had intended to send this out earlier, but it's still very 
relevant, and I suspect that many members of the CNI community may 
not have had an opportunity to see the report. My apologies for the 
delay, and to any readers for whom this is "old news".

In mid-June the US National Institutes of Health approved a new 
strategic vision report for the National Library of Medicine as part 
of the organization's leadership transition following the retirement 
of the long-time director, Dr. Lindberg. There's an announcement here:

and the report, which is well worth reading from a number of 
perspectives, including thinking about disciplinary informatics 
strategies for different disciplines, can also be accessed directly 
at:
