As you know, NLM is celebrating its 175th anniversary this year. Next week, NIH will issue a press release about the anniversary. Watch for it on the NLM home page and in your NLM News and Events RSS feed, and feel free to use its language as you publicize the big anniversary year. A number of special programs in support of the Library’s mission are planned. They include: a scientific symposium commemorating NLM’s 175th anniversary; contests to recognize original short videos that promote awareness of NLM’s information products and services, and creative applications that demonstrate the greatest potential to deliver information to the public using NLM data resources; and other activities throughout the year. You’ve probably also heard about NLM staff members’ special "numerical" salute to the 175th anniversary. You can read more about that happening at: http://infocus.nlm.nih.gov/2011/01/photo-opportunity-nlm-marks-17.html <http://infocus.nlm.nih.gov/2011/01/photo-opportunity-nlm-marks-17.html> . That photo, which is in the public domain, is also available at http://bit.ly/eMXqUq <http://bit.ly/eMXqUq> . We’ll keep you apprised of other anniversary developments.
