摘要：The National Library of Medicine (NLM) librarians provided support to the first thirteen panels sponsored by the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research by conducting literature searches, providing document delivery, and preparing bibliographic databases. Since then, NLM has moved into a consulting role, helping panels link up with local members of the National Network of Libraries of Medicine. NLM staff members have also prepared several documents useful to the development and dissemination of practice guidelines.
